Orc
Thrall's new Horde: tough units, strong early pressure and Burrows that both house workers and shoot at attackers.
Heroes
- Blademaster — Wind Walk, Mirror Image and Critical Strike; the classic harassing hero.
- Far Seer — Feral Spirit wolves and Chain Lightning; strong for creeping.
- Tauren Chieftain — Shockwave, War Stomp and Endurance Aura.
- Shadow Hunter (The Frozen Throne) — Healing Wave, Hex and Serpent Wards.
Army and style
- Grunts and Headhunters early; Raiders, Shamans with Bloodlust, Spirit Walkers and Tauren later; Wind Riders and Batriders in the air.
- Orcs reward aggression: hero harassment early and a hard-hitting, bloodlusted army in the middle game.
