Game Modes and Primary Objectives in Warcraft Arclight Rumble
Blizzard's upcoming mobile action strategy, Warcraft Arclight Rumble, has you battling out evil baddies with your newly crafted army of Minis. The central gameplay bears a lot of resemblance to the popular strategy game Clash Royale. The difference between Clash Royale and Blizzard's mobile action strategy game is the emphasis on the single-player tower defense experience for Warcraft Arclight Rumble. Seeing that the game will launch this year, we at Android Police already went hands-on with the beta, all so we can offer tips to onboarding players during the public release; ultimately, we will teach you how to get started on your all-star Warcraft Minis collection and showcase what you should expect from your matches.

Primary mechanics
The initial tutorial stages are designed to teach you the game's primary mechanics. It'll cover placing your Minis on the board, the mining Gold mechanic, how to deploy and cast spells, how the switch button controls the flow of the battle during a level, and how acquiring more units works in Warcraft Arclight Rumble.
Your matches are played on maps or what we depict as levels/stages. Every map has an opposing leader that deploys an army ready to counter your forces. You have to use tactics to control the flow of the battle with your army. Levels are won by defeating the opposing leader, but levels are lost if your base tower's health reaches zero. So it ultimately comes down to protecting your tower while maintaining a strong offense against the opposing army and leader. You have to win levels to unlock features; features are gated behind skulls, and you collect skills after clearing that level.
As you clear levels and defeat the bosses at the end of these stages, you'll be able to access more of the game's map. You can only challenge levels if you meet their skull requirements, forcing you to progress through the game linearly.
Game Modes and Primary Objectives
The Mini Store (unlocked by default) is where you'll access The G.R.I.D. and the premium shop. The G.R.I.D. is the gacha system for acquiring additional troops (Minis); buying more troops changes the shop's rotation, revealing new minis to unlock. The premium shop is where you'll purchase coins with real money.
1. Army Menu
The Army menu is where you'll view your collected Minis. Your army level (calculated average between your troops and leader) is displayed on the top left underneath your BattleTag; your army level serves as a reference point when compared to other armies such as your own or in PvP. You can check your troops and leaders' skills and traits by tapping on info, or you can choose to swap your units.
2. Map
The game's Map is where you'll complete levels and earn skulls. You can access Quest (9 skulls) and PvP (12 skulls) once you reach the required skull levels.
3. Event
Events is a section that offers dungeons (22 skulls) and raids (unknown). Dungeons (22 skulls) is a 3-map gauntlet mode that allows you to earn Valor (upgradable for your army) after completing a dungeon.
4. Guilds
Lastly, Guilds (7 skulls) are the central hub for socialization (chat, add friends) with other players. You can create your own Guild or join one from a list.
Final Thoughts
Warcraft Arclight Rumble will become a collector's dream come true by having access to an endless supply of Minis and building up your ultimate army while testing them out with over 70 maps at launch. Warcraft Arclight Rumble is a hot prospect for one of Android's best upcoming games.
