Many games use the rock-paper-scissors mechanic, and Warcraft Arclight Rumble is no exception. Blizzard, the developer, made it easier to memorize which types of Minis can beat other types, which makes sense.

Which Mini types beat other Mini types in Warcraft Arclight Rumble?

Due to their altitude, the Flying Minis beat the Melee Minis. Melee Minis trump Range Minis because they are better at head-on combat. Range Minis can shoot down Flying Minis, completing a triangle (or circle). In simpler terms:

  • Theft beats the fray
  • Melee beats Range
  • Range beats flight

Indeed, players will send troops to attack their enemies. A good strategy would be to wait for the opponent to send in their troops and then send in the Minis that beat them. From there, find out which Mini can beat the one you just sent, then send the Mini that can beat the one that can beat yours.

It’s important to use this cycle because your enemy will instinctively try to beat the Mini you sent, so you’ll always be one step ahead. The mechanism gets easier as you practice, but it’s very easy to understand. You should always have at least one of each type in your army, or your opponent can easily sweep the ground with you with the Mini you can’t defeat.
