Warrior


Info

Strategy

Warriors have access to a lot of Health gain in the form of Armor through Armor Up!, Armorsmith and Shield Block, combined with a multitude of removal such as Execute, Shield Slam and Gorehowl. This makes them able to easily stall the game until late turns to run some of the slowest decks in Hearthstone. Going over the 30 Health cap with Armor makes the class heavily favoured against most aggressive decks and decks built around reliably dealing 30 damage such as Miracle Rogue and Freezemage.

Warriors can also effectively play on the other end of the scale by going on the aggressive using a combination of charge minions (like Kor`kron Elite and Wolfrider) and powerful weapons like Arcanite Reaper.

Heroes

Both heroes use the same gameplay mechanics; the difference is purely cosmetic.

Background

For as long as war has raged, heroes from every race have aimed to master the art of battle. Warriors combine strength, leadership, and a vast knowledge of arms and armor to wreak havoc in glorious combat. Some protect from the front lines with shields, locking down enemies while allies support the warrior from behind with spell and bow. Others forgo the shield and unleash their rage at the closest threat with a variety of deadly weapons. The warrior⃢₀ₙs battle cries embolden friends and leave foes cowering in fear. With legendary precision, warriors target the smallest gaps in armor and slice at hamstrings in a blur of steel.

Every dragon slain, corrupted tyrant toppled, and demon banished from Azeroth has trembled in the face of these lords of war.

Strategy and gameplay

The warrior in Hearthstone is best played as an aggressive mid-range (lacking many low-cost, weak monsters), combo, or control deck. Warrior cards and mechanics tend to favor attacking, and having creatures that can deal and take damage. The premier mechanic of the warrior class is Enrage, which gives a buff to a creature when it is damaged, like Amani Berserker and Grommash Hellscream.

Warriors have many cards that cause or can cause damage to their own minions such as Whirlwind, Cruel Taskmaster, Slam and Inner Rage, which are perfect for triggering Enrage effects, or effectively providing one to the damaged minion. These cards are also useful for triggering pseudo-enrages like Gurubashi Berserker and Frothing Berserker. The class also featuresSpecial attraction some cards which offer benefits from damaged minions such as Battle Rage, which allows you to draw a card for every damaged minion, and Armorsmith, which increases your armor anytime a minion is damaged, as well as Rampage, able to empower and protect damaged minions without removing their enrage effect.

Warriors also place heavy emphasis on Charge. Warriors have access to the only fully controllable Charge buff in the game - Charge - as well as the only Charge-synergy card: Warsong Commander. Other warrior Charge minions are Kor`kron Elite and the legendary Grommash Hellscream.

All of these card types can be combined very effectively, such as by using Whirlwind to deal damage to the warrior`s own freshly-summoned Enrage minions, then using a Charge effect to allow them to immediately deal damage to the opponent before they have a chance to defeat the warrior`s weakened minions.

Warriors also have a large amount of effective defensive cards which along with their Hero Power allows for a more controlling strategy where they can stall the game long enough to be able to freely play high cost and powerful cards that can win the game on their own. Additionally, the warrior`s many weapon cards and armor buffs allow the hero to kill the opponent`s creatures himself while taking minimum damage, all while gaining card advantage and waiting for mana to play more expensive cards.

While warrior decks do not featureSpecial attraction too many spell removal cards, they come with plenty of weapons to allow the warrior to do their board clearing in person. Warriors have access to more weapon cards than any other class, as well as boasting the most powerful weapon of all - the epic Gorehowl. Fiery War Axe is a cheap and effective weapon for clearing lower health minions, while Arcanite Reaper is excellent for removing more substantial enemies. Warriors synergise well with cards that reward weapon use, such as pirates. While this method of minion removal comes at the price of the warrior`s health, the warrior`s Hero Power and other defensive effects can serve to balance this loss, and with most weapons providing several attacks for a single card, this approach can allow the warrior to save mana and accrue a card advantage while keeping the board clear of threats.

Warriors do however have access to a few direct removal options. Whirlwind and Revenge are full AoE minion light/medium damage effects, while Cleave is an excellent and cheap clear for low-health minions. The only direct warrior destroy effects are Execute and Crush. The latter is cumbersome without a guaranteed damaged minion, while the former, although limited in comparison to cards like Assassinate, when combined with Whirlwind, Cruel Taskmaster or Slam can allow the warrior to remove a single target at will. Warriors also have access to the epic Brawl - a powerful but unpredictable free-for-all that clears the board of minions, with only a single randomly selected survivor left standing.

Themes

Like every other class, warriors have themes giving flavor and common mechanics to their cards and decks. One such theme is Armor A hero with 2 Armor Armor is a form of secondary Health available only to heroes, gained through certain spells, Hero Powers and minions. Damage taken will always be deducted from Armor before Health. Only hearthstone , which they gain through their Hero Power as well as cards like Shield Block, Shieldmaiden, and Ancient Shieldbearer. They are the only class with cards that directly grow in power with Armor, Shield Slam Shield Slam Set: Classic Type: Spell Class: Warrior Rarity: Epic Cost: 1 Abilities: Deal damage Tags: Armor-related Deal 1 damage to a minion for each Armor you have."What is a better weapon? The sharp one hearthstone and Siege Engine. Also highlighting this protective nature is Taunt minions and synergies, a theme that has been emphasized more since The Grand Tournament expansion. Examples include Bolster, Sparring Partner, and the legendary Quest Fire Plume`s Heart.

Warriors can complement this defense with aggression. Warriors have the strongest weapon theme of all classes, with an armory including Fiery War Axe, Death`s Bite, and Arcanite Reaper, and also weapon buffs like Bloodsail Cultist, Orgrimmar Aspirant, and Upgrade!. Two minor warrior themes are Pirates and Charge effects, with Pirates like N`Zoth`s First Mate and Bloodsail Cultist sometimes complementing the weapons directly, and Charge cards such as Kor`kron Elite and Charge supplementing a warrior`s ability to mount a quick offense.

Another major theme representing this willingness to wade into battle is cards like Mortal Strike and Revenge which are improved by being at low Health. Warrior minions also take part in this desire to take damage, in ways ranging from the standard Enrage ability - represented famously by Grom Hellscream, among others - to unique triggered effects like Frothing Berserker, Armorsmith, and Axe Flinger. Spells like Blood Brothers and Rampage supplement this, while those like Whirlwind, Slam, and Inner Rage can be used to trigger friendly effects or hurt enemy minions. At long last, Execute, Crush, and King Mosh can finish off enemies once they have been hit by all the damage flying around.

Warriors were also part of the Grimy Goons faction in the Mean Streets of Gadgetzan expansion, providing them with its "buff cards in hand" mechanic using the likes of Stolen Goods and Grimy Gadgeteer. Be that as it may, it was not used frequently by warriors, especially compared to its two "allied" classes, hunter and paladin, so this is a minor theme at best.

Main Synergies

  • Cards like Inner Rage, Cruel Taskmaster and Whirlwind can be used to trigger Enrage and other abilities, such as those of Acolyte of Pain, Armorsmith and Frothing Berserker.
  • Alexstrasza can be combined with an enraged Grommash Hellscream and a weapon such as Fiery War Axe or Gorehowl to kill an opponent at 30 health over 2 turns.
  • Shield Slam can become very powerful when combined with Armor Up!, Shield Block and Armorsmith.

Common Weaknesses

  • Control warrior decks often struggle against minion-heavy aggro decks as there are few good board clear options for the Warrior, with Brawl being unreliable.
  • Most aggro warrior decks do not carry good answers to big minions, which makes heavy duty taunts such as Ancient of War and Sunwalker very hard to get past.
  • Since warriors rely heavily on weapons such as Fiery War Axe and Gorehowl, they are very weak to weapon-destroying cards like Acidic Swamp Ooze and Harrison Jones.
