Enrage

Decktypes:

Aggro
Control
Enrage

The Warrior class is represented by Garrosh Hellscream. Warriors have access to a variety of extremely powerful weapon cards, which synergize well with their hero power, Armor Up!. For minions, Warriors have access to plenty of Charge and high damage, low health attackers. They also have a variety of flexible spells that can either kill enemy minions or damage their own to buff attack.

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.

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.

Lore

As long as war is waged on Azeroth, there will be men and women who fight those wars. Warriors are no mere sword-swingers; they are skilled combatants, combining strength of arm, knowledge of weaponry, and practiced maneuvers to slice or bludgeon their foes into little red bits. Warriors are the most versatile of the combat classes, and they supplement their fighting prowess with the ability to rally their allies and spur them to victory. They charge into the heart of the battle and survive the most grievous of wounds. Warriors are common in dwarf, Forsaken, human, and orc societies, but many other species also fill their ranks with warriors. Masters of swords, spears, and weapons of all kinds, warriors share a common way of life on Azeroth. Using their abilities to deal pain and cause bloodshed, warriors are deadly adversaries and welcome friends in violent times (which seem to be all the time in recent decades). Anyone willing to take up arms to defend their people can be classed as a warrior. A knight is the warrior elite among humans.
