If you’ve had the same question as me and wanted to know who to choose as the first Leader in Warcraft Rumble, look no further. I’m going to explain everything to have the best start possible.

First things first – the moment you finish the tutorial, you will be prompted to pick one of three Leaders, at random. That’s right, the first three Leaders appear at random, and they cannot be changed. You can possibly uninstall and re-install the game in order to reroll them, but you’ll still have to play through the tutorial.

Secondly, if you want to start playing right away, just pick one of the Leaders from our list below because it won’t matter too much. You will have the possibility to get a new Leader soon enough. So, make the most out of what you have, and try to advance.

Warcraft Rumble Leaders Tier List

Here is the complete tier list of the leaders in Warcraft Rumble. Underneath the tier list, you can find a more detailed list of each Leader and what their skill does. Keep in mind that you can make every Leader work, so don’t stress too much over the S-tier ones.

Who to Choose as the First Leader in Warcraft Rumble

The first Leader you choose can be either Rend Blackhand for the reduced cost of Flying troops, or Tirion Fordring for the additional healing and tanking ability. Baron Rivendare is amazing if you can manage to sustain the damage and keep him alive.

In short, either Leader you pick can be amazing at the start. Soon after you will be able to unlock more Leaders, so don’t fret.
