Blizzard's upcoming mobile tower defense game, Warcraft Rumble, offers not only an extensive single-player campaign and various PvE modes but also a promising PvP scene. The game's meta has been carefully considered, ensuring that players can enjoy competitive matches against other players in real-time. By utilizing Warcraft miniatures and their strategic abilities, players will face a true test of skill.
In an interview with Game Rant, Warcraft Rumble Game Producer Elhora Davis and Art Director Jeremy Collins discussed the game's multiplayer features, particularly the cooperative guild system and PvP. They explained how guilds will collaborate to earn rewards, how the PvP meta will evolve through regular modifier changes, and the various rewards available to participating players.
Warcraft Rumble's Guilds and PvP Go Hand In Hand
In Warcraft Rumble, guilds play a crucial role in the game's PvP content, with guild progression being dependent on the collective success of its members in PvP matches. Guild members can strategize and plan their team setups, and coordinating leader choices is essential for efficient progress through the War Chest system.
Guilds truly shine in PvP, where players can join forces with around 15 fellow guild members to engage in battles. The guild chat feature facilitates strategy discussions and helps teams strategize for their next moves. An intriguing social feature known as War Chests adds to the excitement. Inside the Arclight Rumble arcade machine, players can find the War Chest, which contains different types of "juices" representing the five in-game families: Horde, Alliance, Blackrock, Undead, and Beast.
In your guild, you contribute to the War Chests by defeating foes and progressing in PvP battles, depending on the leader of your chosen family. Each of the five families has its own set of mini-goals, and filling up their meters earns you significant unit XP. After completing all five, you can unlock three major seasonal rewards.
While progressing through the War Chest system, players receive numerous smaller rewards that enhance their units with additional XP. Additionally, achieving the larger seasonal rewards grants access to various new cosmetic skins for units such as kobolds or towers, as well as emotes for expressing oneself during matches.
Modifiers Cut Down On Meta Builds In Warcraft Rumble PvP
Warcraft Rumble offers a dynamic and engaging PvP experience, designed to keep players on their toes. The game features a constantly evolving meta, with regularly changing modifiers that can significantly impact player strategies and decisions.
Throughout each PvP season, the game introduces a "tumbling meta," where various elements such as maps, towers, and modifiers undergo modifications. These changes can range from increasing gold income to altering the behaviors of individual units. For example, a unit may level up with each match played. This ever-changing environment ensures that no single unit or deck remains dominant for long, as their effectiveness depends on the specific advantages and disadvantages of the current paradigm.
As a result, players must constantly adapt and ask themselves, "Which units would be most effective in this evolving meta?" This continual need for assessment and adjustment keeps the gameplay fresh and exciting, as players strive to find the best strategies within the current meta.
To account for how modifiers often change the PvP meta, it might be advisable for players to prioritize building a diverse collection of Warcraft minis rather than pursuing the current trend, which may ultimately prove less effective compared to other options soon.
The mobile release of Warcraft Rumble is scheduled for November 3.
