Blizzard’s latest mobile gameWarcraft Rumblefeatures combat that feels like a fusion of a variety of mobile genres, and can be confusing to learn for new players. Anyone who has never touched the MOBA, Tower Defense, or Auto Chess/Battler genres may struggle to find footing in the game.
After some brief tutorials, the first few zones are pretty forgiving and let players learn thebasics ofWarcraft Rumbleat their own pace. But as progression continues, things can get much tougher, and understanding the bestWarcraft Rumblestrategies is key to beating the campaign. These bestWarcraft Rumblecombat tips will help beginners understand the foundational combat mechanics of the game, and help experienced players past the game’s notorious difficulty spikes.
5Play Minis That Synergize With Each Other
Tanks Backed Up By Ranged Minis Are Hard To Beat
InWarcraft Rumblethere are a few troops thatwork well when deployed togetherin specific ways. For example, a melee Tank mini won’t be able to do much about Flying enemies, but a Ranged character a few steps behind them can deal with airborne minis instead. The Tank will keep the attention of ground minis, most of the time, providing a buffer for the Ranged mini against incoming melee troops.
Similarly, some Flying minis can’t grab chests or defend themselves against Ranged ground troops. Sending in a melee bruiser who can charge and disrupt these ground-to-air enemies is essential to keeping Flying minis alive. Large squads are susceptible to AoE and cleave damage, which is where Unbound troops, who can distract and turn enemies around, come in handy.
4Learn How To Counter Enemy Mini Types
Bombard Minis Melt Squads, Ranged Minis Snipe Air Units, Etc
All minis inWarcraft Rumblehave strengths and weaknesses associated with various traits. Some of these may seem obvious, like AoE minis being strong against Squads, which conveniently have low HP and group together closely. Others, like Elemental, are less obvious and require players to go into the collection screen to learn more.
Learning the strengths of each mini trait isa key part of countering enemy minis– it’s a bad idea to send in a lone Ranger against a Tank, just as it is to send in a horde of Angry Chickens against an AoE bombarder. Tap the “Info” button after highlighting a mini to see its associated traits, which give insight into how they can be used to counter enemy troops effectively.
3Spend Gold Wisely In Matches, And Don’t Underestimate Kobolds
Managing Income Is A Major Part Of Tipping The Scales
During a match,Warcraft Rumbleplayers passively recharge their spendable Gold every few seconds, but this Gold recharge rate can be increased with clever use of Kobolds. They cost one Gold to send out, and willmine Gold nodes on the mapthat they come across. These Gold Nodes can have up to three Gold available to mine at any one time.
Only send out a Kobold if the nodes on their path will yield at least two Gold, to make up for the cost of the Kobold and earn an extra Gold. Some paths and maps feature several Gold nodes, sometimes two or three along a single pathway – which means a Kobold could potentially net five extra Gold for players to spend, as long as its not interrupted.
Consider sending out Kobolds with an accompanying Squad to keep them safe, or use cheap Unbound units to protect them in enemy territory.
2Study The Map For Routes & Enemy Minis For Weaknesses
One of the worst mistakesWarcraft Rumbleplayers can make is jumping into a match without any preparation. After selecting a level, the map will load in, but the match won’t start until players press the “Start” button. During this pre-match phase, it’s possible to learn about enemy minis, defenses, and bosses by tapping on them. Additionally, players can see the routes on the map, and strategize how best to approach the level’s intersecting pathways.
There is a lot of information to learn about an opponent during this pre-match phase. But in PvE game modes, players can gain another advantage: pausing immediately after starting the match reveals enemy’s first moves, as well as players' available starting minis. Without unpausing, use this time to consider the best placement of your minis, and how to counter minis the enemy places down as soon as the game starts.
1Don’t Be Afraid To Go Back To Square One
Sometimes,Warcraft Rumblecan be a confusing game, in which the best move is to not play at all. If a level in the campaign or a dungeon boss is proving particularly difficult, even after several attempts, it might be time tohead back to the drawing boardand come up with a new setup, leader and troops both.
Raene Wolfrunner, the final opponent in the Ashenvale zone, is one boss that often proves to be players' breaking point. But minis like the Stonehoof Tauren, who charge in, and the Abomination, which pulls one away from the rest, can be instant game-changers when swapped into a squad.
Ultimately, if a Leader and its troops aren’t able to beat levels repeatedly, try out some new combinations. Sometimes beating a Challenging Stage is as simple as one troop change, while others might require players to completely re-tool their squad from the ground up.
