Warcraft Rumble Is Here — How to Play, Game Modes, Minis
Warcraft Rumble is an action strategy game for mobile. Set within the Warcraft universe, you play as collectible minis that have come to life and are now taking part in “frantic melee skirmishes.” Blizzard’s tagline right now is: “Release the chaos.”
Warcraft fans have been applauding the game for its cartoon-ish playstyle and it already has a pretty high score across the internet. Here’s what you need to know about Warcraft Rumble.
Where to Play Warcraft Rumble
Warcraft Rumble is a free-to-play mobile game that’s available on Apple’s App Store and the Google Play Store. You can play it on Android and iPhone devices, as well as iPads and other similar devices.
What Can You Do in Warcraft Rumble?
There is a single-player campaign as well as “epic” PvP battles in Rumble. Collect gold by mining and searching for treasure, and use that gold to deploy your minis. This includes leaders with special abilities that will shape your team’s overall strategy.
There are over 70 missions in the single-player campaign. There are also weekly three-round dungeons for PvE fans.
Who Are the Leaders in Warcraft Rumble?
Leaders have special abilities and will become the backbone of their team. Each leader will have a different strategy that works best in battle.
- Alliance: Alliance Leaders support defense, healing, and stealth tactics, as well as heavy use of Spells. Tirion Fordring, Maiev Shadowsong, and Jaina Proudmoore devote their skills to the Alliance.
- Horde: Horde Leaders like Grommash Hellscream, Sneed, and Cairne Bloodhoof encourage building momentum through earning additional gold, fast attacking Troops, and enemy control with area of effect stuns.
- Beast: Beast Leaders like Charlga Razorflank can disable enemy defenses, helping your numerous bestial allies stampede and overwhelm them quickly. Others like Hogger are right at home with a flurry of fast troops swarming your enemies.
- Blackrock: Blackrock Leaders, including Rend Blackhand and General Drakkisath, reward you for playing heavy-hitting flying Troops and searing elemental magic users to burn opponents to a crisp.
- Undead: Undead Leaders use powerful necromancy on the battlefield. As Bloodmage Thalnos uses Spells, he grows stronger with every cast. Baron Rivendare can summon endless armies of the dead to haunt the battlefield.
The Goal of Warcraft Rumble
You will need to level up when playing Warcraft Rumble, which can be done in the following ways:
- Collect Warcraft Minis - There are more than 65 minis to collect, including leaders and spells. Each mini has its own distinct abilities to fight off incoming troops. You can mix and match them to form a strategy that works for you.
- Level Up Your Army - You gain experience and level up your minis after each battle. You’ll get new talents as you level up.
- Unlock New Challenges - You can encounter new game modes like Heroic Campaign, Arclight Surge, and Dungeons.
