The Orcs of the Horde
The Horde crossed the Dark Portal from Draenor to conquer Azeroth. Orc units mirror the humans' in cost and strength; their spellcasters are built for destruction rather than healing.
The army
- Peon — gathers and builds.
- Grunt — the basic melee soldier.
- Spearman — ranged support.
- Raider — mounted heavy melee.
- Catapult — siege against buildings and clumps.
- Necrolyte — raises the dead as skeletons and can shield units.
- Warlock — summons spiders and a daemon, and calls down poison clouds.
How to play them
With no healer, the orcs win by pressure: trade units quickly, raise the fallen with Necrolytes, and use the Warlock's summons to overwhelm a defending line.
