Strategy

The Warboss is the primary Ork commander. Unlike most commanders, the Warboss has a much higher damage output and can withstand direct enemy opposition longer than Commanders from other civilizations. While the Warboss can improve the performance of surrounding infantry, the Warboss also has the Power of the Waagh! ability should the player encounter heavy resistance. When confronting the Warboss in mission four of the Dawn of War campaign, the player does not have access to any top-tier units. Players have no other option but to concentrate all fire on him.
