The Unwritten Rules of Warcraft Rumble Explained
Warcraft Rumble might still be wet behind the ears, but there are already a few tips and tricks worth knowing.
With Season 4 coming next week, Warcraft Rumble has officially revealed the new mini that players can add to their collections soon. The Witch Doctor is joining the Horde, bringing another reference from Warcraft 3 to Warcraft Rumble. The statistics and abilities for this troop are currently unknown, but fans can expect to learn the specifics in the week leading up to the start of Season 4 on March 6. From the teaser Warcraft Rumble gave, however, players can surmise he may grant allies Bloodlust, curse his enemies, and cause explosions.
New Features Confirmed for Warcraft Rumble
- Witch Doctor Troop
- Coming in Season 4 on March 6.
- Faerie Dragon Troop
- Coming in a future update, presumably alongside the Moonglade zone.
- Ragnaros Hero
- Unlocked via the upcoming Raids game mode.
- Scholomance Dungeon
Warcraft fans will recognize the Witch Doctor from his original appearance in Warcraft 3, where the spellcasting Horde unit placed wards that could scout, heal allies, or trap enemies. Interestingly enough, Warcraft Rumble had originally stated the Faerie Dragon – another iconic Warcraft 3 unit – was coming in Season 4, but the tricksy troop has seemingly been delayed until a future update.
Like previous seasons, the Witch Doctor will likely be unlocked via Warcraft Rumble guild rewards, or by obtaining a high ranking in PvP. The former method is much easier, as it also allows fans to unlock gold and free XP tomes. Either way, players can expect the Witch Doctor to come as an Uncommon mini right away, allowing them to quickly purchase his yet-unrevealed talents. Fans who miss getting the Witch Doctor in Season 4 will be able to purchase him from the Warcraft Rumble G.R.I.D. starting in Season 5.
The Witch Doctor isn’t the only mini coming to Warcraft Rumble soon. The aforementioned Faerie Dragon will likely be added to Warcraft Rumble in the future update that introduces the Moonglade zone, and the Ragnaros hero will eventually be unlocked via the in-development Raid game mode. Though it isn’t a mini, players can also expect Scholomance to join the rotation of dungeons in Warcraft Rumble soon too. Each season lasts about six weeks, so fans will see plenty of new minis added to Warcraft Rumble over the course of the year.
