Warcraft Rumble: Best Leader in the Game & Best First Leader to Choose

For good old times’ sake, let’s all scream “Lerooooy Jenkins” and launch into battle in Warcraft Rumble with one of these best leaders listed below.

Choosing the best leader in Warcraft Rumble is extremely important, as they have a major influence on your battle’s progress. Here are my top three choices for leaders in the game, before going more in depth with each:

Baron Rivendare
Rend Blackhand
Grommash Hellscream
Bloodmage Thalnos
Tirion Fordring

It looks like every player is given a different choice of first leaders to pick from – but if you have any of the ones listed above on your list of choices, you should definitely pick them.

Now, let’s get a bit more in depth with the reasons why the leaders above are the best in Warcraft Rumble at the moment!

Baron Rivendare – Best leader in Warcraft Rumble

Baron Rivendare is the best leader in Warcraft Rumble and a must pick whenever it is offered. His main power is summoning new troops and that is OP at the moment.

Pair him up with the Necromancer and you have an unbeatable team from the get go!

Rend Blackhand

This is a better pick for early game in my opinion, but a good one nevertheless. He has the main advantage of riding a dragon which he dismounts when defeated, continuing to fight.

Also, when he’s in play, your other flying troops will cost 1 gold less, which can help you dominate the maps easily.

Grommash Hellscream

An amazing leader for beginners especially, as he boosts the attack and movement speed of nearby troops. He is also a tanky Leader with plenty of health, so it’s easy to keep him around for longer.

Bloodmage Thalnos

This was the best of my three starting picks and I have to admit that I would’ve preferred a different hero. But he’s not that bad, just not very beginner-friendly.

He is a ranged unit with AoE damage, but his main advantage is that of gaining 1 level for each spell you play during the fight, until death. With a bit of strategy, he can be turned into a really mean leader!

Tirion Fordring

A very good hero to start with, thanks to his healing capabilities. Pair him up with troops that already have high health and you will have a really solid setup.

How to unlock new leaders in Warcraft Rumble?

You unlock new leaders in the game by getting more Sigils by completing the main in-game missions.

The second leader choice is unlocked at 13 sigils, with the next one at 23 sigils and then a new one for every 10 extra sigils earned.
