In Warcraft Rumble, there is a simple trick that allows you to stop losing honor in PvP. This is not a cheat – it’s just simple math.
An amazingly complex feature in Warcraft Rumble is the PvP. It is highly tactical, and only a well-balanced team – or a really nasty combo – reliably leads to success. PvP offers very interesting rewards. From gold and bow light energy to big XP boosts and even a very special mini.
To unlock this, however, you need to gather enough honor. However, honor is not permanent – if you lose matches, your honor will decrease as well.
This can be quite frustrating, as you see on a filling display how much honor you have and how close you are to the next milestone. When this value decreases, you also move further away from the reward – not a nice feeling.
However, with a small mental trick, you can bypass this problem. To do this, you need to make use of a mechanic in Warcraft Rumble.
Your total honor value is calculated from your best 3 troops. The values are added up here.
An example to illustrate this:
You have 4 leader minis: Jaina Proudmoore, Grommash Hellscream, Ancient Trübauge, and Bloodmage Thalnos.
- Jaina Proudmoore has 700 honor
- Grommash Hellscream has 600 honor
- Ancient Trübauge has 500 honor
- Bloodmage Thalnos has 490 honor
Your total honor value in PvP is calculated from the achievements of your top 3 leaders. In this example, that would be 1,800 honor (700+600+500).
The 490 honor from Bloodmage Thalnos is not counted, as he is not among the top 3 leaders in your collection.
You can, however, take perfect advantage of this!
Always use the leader in 4th place to guarantee victories
From now on, only play with leaders that are in 4th place on your list, so in this example, Bloodmage Thalnos.
If you lose with Thalnos, then his personal honor value decreases – from 490 to about 400. However, your total ranked honor remains unchanged, as only the best 3 leaders are counted there – you will still have 1,800 honor.
But if you win with Thalnos, then his honor value increases – from 490 to about 600. In this case, your account honor also increases, as Thalnos is now one of the top 3 leaders – you would then have 1,900 honor: 700 from Jaina, 600 from Grommash, 600 from Thalnos, and Ancient Trübauge is excluded from the calculation since he is now in 4th place.
If you follow this strategy and always use your fourth-best troop until it moves up to 3rd place, you can only increase your honor.
Another advantage of this is that you learn to handle multiple leaders, thus building a larger repertoire of troops and strategies and increasing your overall understanding of the game surrounding the minis.
Of course, this is also a small psychological trick – but it can definitely reduce a lot of frustration, as your honor value can only increase, no matter what you do.
