Middle-earth: Shadow of War - How to get Epic and Legendary Orcs

While any old Orc will get the job done in Middle-earth: Shadow of War, Epic and Legendary Orcs both have traits that make them much heartier combatants. You can only recruit Orcs up to your current level, so if your current crop isn't cutting it, replacing or adding some Epic and Legendary Orcs to your armies is a great way to give you the extra boost you need to assault or defend fortresses.
