Warrior

What the class does

Warrior can use Armor, weapons, and minion removal to attack or defend. The right use depends on your cards and your plan.

One attack can cost several things at once. Count all of them.

Count the cost of a fight

A weapon attack may save a friendly minion but use Durability and your hero's Health. Armor gives you room to take that damage. Armor alone does not remove an enemy threat.

Some effects depend on how much Armor you have right now. Taking damage before using them may make them weaker.

Choices to think about

Compare spending a weapon use with spending a removal card. Think about the threats still to come. You do not always need your biggest answer first.

After defending, ask what you can do with the time you gained. If the enemy has a better long-game plan, gaining more Armor may only delay a loss.

Strengths and weak spots

Warrior can take careful trades and keep its hero safe. Its hard games may involve too much defense with no progress, or big cards that arrive too late. Have a clear next step from surviving to winning.
