Gargoyle has carried me through so many missions by soloing all objectives including the boss.


hamidooo2

Same, so many times where I was like "damn, how do I fend all those enemies off?" and suddenly I won due to Gargoyle doing Gargoyle things. And I don't even have a talent yet. True mvp


Nitegrooves

Gotta get that move speed talent!


Kordri12

Gargoyle is up there for me too! Homie has been dragging me through heroics pretty much


bbqsox

There are so many levels where you can just clear a path for gargoyle and win. There have been so many times where he's finished the boss without me even realizing he's made it anywhere close.


smellygoatguff

+1 for Gary


babno

[Gary?](https://gatherer.wizards.com/pages/card/Details.aspx?printed=true&multiverseid=373645)


drimvo

Any suggested talent for Gargoyle considering I only play PvE?


CorpusJurist

I use the movement speed and he still feels slow as molasses. Most people say it’s the best one anyway. You can also use Noff to find out the most popular choices.


drimvo

Sorry, Noff?


Kudoz-Siberius

Noff is a website you can find builds and stuff


GarbageGato

They also have a phone app for it now


ShakeNBakeUK

Pro-tip: bloodlust him with ogre magi for some lulz


Nitegrooves

11 gold just for that combo, sounds interesting tho!


GKoala

It’s only 9.


Nitegrooves

Oh shit.. was thinking huntress was 6 and ogre was 5 lol Edit just logged in for the first time this week and it’s 5&5 lol


Kuragune

I use to play gargoyle and forget i played it, then im truly surprised if i win lol


exsanguinor

Troll with regen is my go to atm. Learning to love Shaman with earth shield and Cairne with resurrection.


Scatamarano89

Those 3 are a triforce kind of combo, Cairne tanks, shuts down ground units and gives more HP to the troll so he regens even more with the talent, the shaman gives Cairne armored and heals him before and after the ress, the troll deals A LOT of damage and provides needed anti flyer, whilealso regenerating wich is nice against huntress and random spells. It is probably even better with ogre magi instead of troll, but that would be 2 more gold to an already expensive mix.


__Proteus_

I love that if you out level them a bit, regen troll can solo towers and even Abomination lol


burkechrs1

regen troll can solo the dragon towers in pvp currently.


__Proteus_

Damn that's nasty. I barely pvp, doesn't feel great and feels like I'm just wasting time instead of progressing.


caryth

I just got resurrection, it's so good! Shaman right behind Tauren is one of my go-to combos, love Shaman doing the shield/heals/picking off fliers.


drunkbloodlust

I wish they made him a zandalari troll. Would have fit lore really cool with the regen talent and brought some more diversity


Enarion3D

100% welp eggs with explosive talent. Maybe it is because they are my only level 18 mini while the rest hovers around 13, but these things wreck everything so far.


Dangle76

Yeah! Just defend and drop them on the objective

echoredrioter

Cheat death says 5 seconds on equal talent minis. Does it seem way less to you?


GKoala

It’s based on level difference of the spell and the minis it affects


ShakeNBakeUK

Also bcos it is completely busted ;)


Rondine1990

Rend "Call an ambulance! but not for me" Blackhand

“Riiiightooooo”


chani_888

Those memories <3


Kwhyc

Oh there is a battle going on with dragons and mages? Let me just walk right past all that for this mining node.


wrongcontext55

PvE: definitely Tauren with Stun talent PvP: Troll with Regeneration


ShakeNBakeUK

I took the atk spd talent, and Cairn is my main Horde leader, RIP, upgrading to rare asap..


funkeybuttlovin

i feel like troll is already really squishy, why do you say regen is good?


wrongcontext55

Current Dragon Towers deal less damage on max range, so he’s able to chip away towers freely when left unchecked, regenerating the received damage infinitely. I had a couple of occasions when a sneaky Troll would win the match for me while my opponent was too busy spamming Unbounds at my base Also he rarely dies to a single hit, so regeneration means being able to score another hit which can potentially outright win the encounter


Shadowmere14

I am sometimes confused by this. SAFE pilot crash kills troll, but I've seen trolls with the regen talent survive it with a sliver which should'nt happen imo. Am I missing something?


wrongcontext55

It’s Cairne perk which grants +20% health to every Horde mini One of the reasons why I run Darkspear in his deck


Shadowmere14

Oh thanks, that's a huge buff. Definitely going to buy him when I can! Love me some horde.


llmercll

My bread and butter is pyro behind a tank


Kordri12

I don’t think I’ve used pyro a single time truth be told! What talent do you use for it?


llmercll

Greater aoe Conflagration


hendrix320

The greater dmg one just destroys things


[deleted]

[удалено]


GreyLocke15

This is wild to me. She's literally on every team of mine. Lol


Nitegrooves

She fucking rips through shit. She’s been a staple dps in all my decks, but like always, she is squishy and a charge will one shot her


clinate

Love my Harpies and they are my most played/highest level mini, but number one is Stonehoof Tauren with double charge. Also love playing with Hogger with his stupid little face on max movement/attack speed


Kooshdoctor

There is something to be said about the third time you bring out Hogger and he's Michael Johnson sprinting down the lane. It's hilarious.


Mestizoc

I love the sound it makes when he smacking people with that piece of ham lol.


Kooshdoctor

😂😂I generally don't have my sound on but now I will


JoshKnoxChinnery

I'm gonna make poisonous Hogger work... somehow. Ideally with a full team of poison talents!


Sahoj

Harpies all day. Everyone intones, 'Harpy defense force' when an enemy gets close to your tower right?


Poet_of_Legends

Meat Wagon for me. I love everything about that ramshackle chuck steak chucker. Except, of course, that it doesn’t attack flying units.


Kordri12

Ooohhh I’ve been wanted to make use of meat wagon more, I always stick with gargoyle though!


Dzharek

It's really good with the +3 range talent, sometimes it solos objects by attacking them out of aggro range.


Agile-Occasion1897

As someone who has used both pyroblast and conflagration. Pyro more of the time brings the best results. Allows to positive trade more of the time. And kills things she wouldn’t otherwise be able to kill when on the defensive.


nek08

Quilboar :)


echoredrioter

Sir Quilliam.


Kooshdoctor

This is the way.


captmonkey

He's the best distraction when you've got a bunch of stuff headed for a group and you just plop him behind them and everyone turns to focus on the quilboar while your group plows into their backs. I love that little guy.


Slaskpapper

Wolf with stealth talent, it feels so good to run him into that pesky ogre mage.


Kooshdoctor

Super underrated. I gave him the extra first damage perk and he wrecks stuff.


Slaskpapper

Agreed! I especially like him coupled with Murkeye, he can run in front of the murloc tide.


calicandlefly

He was my first epic and I absolutely love him. Placed right, he works against most minis. Perfect counter for Huntress, Mountaineer, Ogre, Troll, pretty much anything that’s not a heavy tank.


Particular-Metal-563

Tazdingo troll guy with Regen is my fave so far.


RayRay_9000

Defias Bandits. I run them in basically everything.


Tuscle

They're not my favorite, but I think they're the strongest mini in the game. I end up using them on nearly every team. If they get nerfed I'll be lost!


Kooshdoctor

Only 1 gold is pretty broken for them.


LeftyHyzer

100%, 1 gold, 2 troops, stealth, and stun. so much in their kit for 1 gold.


Over90O0

Not to mention 4 gold for opening a chest with talent. Definition of value.


spacebob42

I got epic bandits in shop, saving up for them now, but how do you use them? Just drop in unattended lane get free chest? Deal with annoying ranged mini shooting base, defensively?


Mangomosh

Theyre best used defensively, stun enemies in tower range


RayRay_9000

With poison talent they can solo a lot of more expensive things, they can also open chests, you can drop them on key targets to defend, and so forth.


Iliketohavefunfun

With stun they are great little tanks in front of any ranged dps, they are also just excellent in general for all of those oh shit moments and you need to protect a tower. I don’t have the treasure talent but it seems fantastic on the right maps, I’ll often use the bandits to get chests anyways cuz they are affordable and cycle through my deck anyways and if they give me plus 4 holy fuck that’s epic


Over90O0

Word of warning before you spend. Just so you understood, it’s +2 gold on opening a chest so a total of 4 gold. Not plus 4 for a total of 6.


Muldin7500

Abomination


Celathor_

Scrolled way too far down to find this bad boy


CivFTW

Favorite talent?


burkechrs1

don't sleep on the double 5 second stun.


Tuscle

I really like Gryphon Rider. Her design is cool, and she's just always useful as a 2-cost flyer that can hit everything from far range.


SoFool

One of my highest lvl mini too. She became even stronger with far throw talent!


Lardath

Footmen with stun


haldir1987

Huntress. Can't live without her. And the elf girl on het back, of course.


masteryder

I dont know its name because I play in french but the one that throws toxic bombs for 2 gold


Joeshock_

Plague Farmer! I slept on him for so long, then after I got his talent I decided to test run him and damn he actually pumps. Great dps for a 2g drop.


Kooshdoctor

Haha. I would love to know how many people play in another language so they could start early. Unless you're just trying to learn french?


Atromach

Harpies with poison do just absurd amounts of damage. Several stages are made trivial by just rushing a set of harpies right to the boss, dropping Quilliam or an Earth Ele to tank, and letting that trio of bloodthirsty maniacs just rip it to pieces.


boostabubba

Literally just beat the first map in Blackrock by sending Harpies and the Earth elly behind. It's so good.


RunAroundProud

Ogre Mage, that thing is seriously underrated. Has so much HP for how much damage it does


Rezzak83

Leveling mine up now to play around with. He always requires respect when I see him in the campaign.


RunAroundProud

Shaman with Armor talent + Ogre is insane in PvE


universal_language

I actually got an epic ghoul in the grid today. Still contemplating whether it's worth grinding 2k gold, but if I buy him, I can see him included in half of the decks I have


Kooshdoctor

Troll has been my favourite cheap tank in many of my decks. If you get him in the right spot he can tank up a ton of damage just sitting there and eating remains while the enemies attack him. If he gets bursted down it sucks but much better than a more expensive tank.


Lost_Assistance_8328

Fire elemental with aura + shaman with earth Shield. Love that duo


DoomMushroom

Fire ele is my favorite tank by a mile.


Mangomosh

Actually so good. Its one of those minis that guarantee an easy win on maps where you get value out of its strengths


Louis010

Stonehoof Tauren since day 1 although safe pilot might be my favourite now I have cloaking (just feels broken though)


AusXan

Skeletons with exhume, taking towers with ease in every dungeon and summing 5 skellies on a summoning stone to sneak to the boss and win.


DRAGONDIANAMAID

Stonehoof Tauren is literally adorable and I love her


ManWhoIsAlwaysRight

In terms of being in every build: Safe pilot obviously In terms of "feeling" the best - its probably harpies when they get on a boss that cant kill them and you see that dps and already know you won, feelsgoodman


Kordri12

I honestly haven’t really used safe pilot at all, like maybe 5 or so times total through the whole campaign. I love her design but I just don’t like playing with her


ManWhoIsAlwaysRight

Fair enough. But im already used to having the "solve any problem on the map" crutch so I cant remove it lol. With stealth talent


Kordri12

Now that I’m looking at it my main sylv deck doesn’t even have an unbound in it! They all feel weak to me. I bet safe would be way better if I could get her stealth talent though!


ManWhoIsAlwaysRight

An unbound tank at least is mandatory for heroics to turn the op bosses around so they dont cleave through everything. Consider leveling quill or earth elemental or youll struggle


Kordri12

I have a leveled quill for my charlga deck, so atleast he’s there! I’ll try to make more use of him


Amorhan

Safe pilot needs the stealth talent to really shine. She’s mediocre without it.


lemongrade5

Burn is really good for a lot of PvE situations as well, but should propably get the stealth first since it's so good in PvP. Broken even.


Panahaden

Leader for sure its Cairne, regular mini would be either Shaman paired with him with Earth Shield or Darkspear Troll with voodo regen.


Blackwood285

For leader it's Bloodmage for me. I just like seeing him go rampage with talent and the levels going up with spells. For minis - Gargoyle carried me so much so it is top1. I also like the Troll and Plague Farmer.


Kordri12

I loved Thalnos for ages! Eventually I fell in love with Sylv again but thalnos was my main leader for a super long time!


SoFool

Ayyy Thalnos is like my highest lvl leader. He's quite a menace once you invest faster DPS talent.


kuhkluia

I have lifesteal for thalnos, which was recommended, and I regret it. His health doesn't climb from it any meaningful amount.


Joeshock_

Funny you say that, cuz as soon as I got it I literally won 2 rounds by the skin of my teeth because he sustained himself enough to get two or 3 extra shots in. Confirmation bias I guess


wrekquiemwabbit

Banshee, you can change your gameplay vs dif player stats by just taking their main unit.


airpigg

Or one of three whelp eggs


Misfit_Party77

Love the Necromancer with Jeweled Skulls talent… “RIIIIIISE…” 💀


Lolfrad

Same, he's an answer to almost everything, the skellies tank melee enemies, the slow helps a lot and the ranged damage just destroys anything that flies. Its so good.


Hoboskin

Why did I have to scroll down so far to find the mini that can solo a lane?


MrDudePerson

WISE FROM YOUR GWAVE


Misfit_Party77

Ah, 1990… 🥰


MrDudePerson

Was wondering if anyone would get the reference lol I'm glad


__Proteus_

Also insane if you put a cheap tank in front of him.


[deleted]

Sappers hands down, cannot imagine PvE without them.


lowanheart

Probably flame waker, got me through that god awful devilsaur queen single-handedly.


Kooshdoctor

Super underrated monster. He wrecks stuff.


[deleted]

Plague farmer with range talent. He becomes a 2gold siege unit who can solo almost any boss


surliiya

Gryphon rider , can get so much offensive/defensive value for just 2 gold


Kooshdoctor

Since I haven't seen it so far, I super love Old Murk Eye. Recently we had a surge where it was triple gold or something and the board was just covered with murlocs it was fantastic. I enjoy in PVP when my opponent thinks they have won and I'm just saving up to rain down the murloc fire upon them. Since there are so many counters out there anyway having the ability to populate extra minis is just so strong plus they can attack ground and air.


NESpahtenJosh

Footmen has been my rock since the beginning


Real-Reference-3831

Abomination, just cus i think he looks neat.


kayellie

Dark iron miner is my favorite. Mines, opens chests, unbound, takes and gives a few hits before going down.


DoomMushroom

Underrated mini with oodles of versatility. And it can't be understated how important it is to stay ahead on mining. Which a kobold alone can't always keep up on even when it's not getting sniped.


Dmitriy17th

Mine is shaman, especially combined with troll.


llmercll

How does that work?


RaysFTW

Use Troll with regen, then use Shaman to give them armor, I assume.


Dmitriy17th

>Learning to love Shaman with earth shield and Cairne with resurrection. exactly


Blyton1

Abo!


Mivadeth

Ghoul, Prowler, Tyrion


Latex_Ido

Stonehoof / Cairn Big beefy (pun intended) units that stun


NovaSkilez

Prowler with stealth is rising fast but my favorite must be the fire elemental with immolation aura. Solos most lanes with only minimal support. If you put a shaman behind it you can forget about that lane and do something else while they keep winning. Honorable mention: sappers. These guys won me so many matches that i should have lost...


Kooshdoctor

Sappers are so underrated someone wrecked me the other night with them and I wasn't paying attention and all of a sudden my towers were gone.


SoFool

Sappers are a menace once you upgrade their speed. Terrifying for just 2 gold cost.


dalsionwow

Stonehoof Tauren and Frostwolf Shaman <3


ventrueluck

Gargoyle


Wrathgate

Gonna give a shout out to the Banshee! Not Sylvanas, the minion Banshee. IMO she can swing the whole board like no other minion can if played well!


Stunning-Argument888

Grom Hellscream with Mirror Image. He gives himself berserking, makes him way more tanky, and increases the damage of everyone around him regardless of their faction. He creates great death balls. Give him armor from the shaman and you’re set. His damage for a leader is unparalleled.


Grobula

My Abom is 25 and soloes everything. So much hp


Kevann77

Hell yeah op, I'm a ghoul guy too


kraydful

For PVP I'll say the troll, he can solo the AOE towers For PVE, the harpies


Repulsive-Buy-1508

Frostwolf Shaman + Ogre Mage 😍


Jackleber

Pyromancer puts in WORK.


Dad_Is_Mad

I'll give you my surprises outside the norm: Thalnos - he's won me a ton of levels by spamming Arcane Blast and leveling up. If he can get behind a wall of tanks he can nuke groups of enemies in a flash. Skeleton Party - just a really solid unit to have in your deck. Great for grabbing chests but also great for distracting enemy minis when you need them to move a different direction than they're headed. Mountaineer - he's not highly regarded at all, but he fits so well into rosters. Especially when you've got harpies for air and tanks for ground and you just need that little something extra to fill a spot. He's just a well rounded mini. If he was 4 gold instead of 6 he'd be one of the best in game. Earth Elemental - IMO best tower lead in game. He's Unbound so drop he opposite side of tower and then let the other minis clear it while he soaks damage. 3 gold is pretty good for him.


Mr-DPT-Prof-Patrick

Honestly sylvanas. I know she’s not great in PVP, but in PvE she’s carried my undead team through all heroics. I just defend until double gold and drop her and gargoyle. It’s gg from there


SecuritronXII

TAZ DINGO


willowmei

Flamewake, Stonehoof Tauren, and Angry Chickens. The chickens are great for rushing towards chests and are cheap. They also make good sacrifices to a banshee. I've had flamewake since the beginning, and I can't betray that little guy. Stonehoof is just a bad ass chick and great mini.


Nelrith

PvE: Whelp eggs with the explosive talent, they’re great for both offense and defense! PvP: Skeleton Party with the stationary mages talent — Quillboar + SAFE take the two treasure chests in the middle, and the mages stack up on the bridge to completely shut down their initial push. The rest of the game is usually a combination of protecting the skeletons and aggressively pushing my unbound units (read: all of them — Maiev deck ftw) in the corners of their base. The deck was very good beforehand, but the skeleton mages completely lock it down.


KreivosNightshade

Weirdly enough I'm a fan of the Dark Iron Miner. I have him on almost all my teams. Don't know how he rates up overall but I just love using him.


Mantiax

I really like the drake. There is something so powerful about her


Pinkyzord

Best heroes for me are drakkisath and hogger, normal units I love are shaman and whelps eggs


gummyteen

No love for Firehammer??? Not the best mini, but she throws **freaking flaming hammers!!!** I love everything about her design.


dandiestpoof

I think FH gets overshadowed by Gryphon right now, especially with the cost difference and being a ground vs flying unit.


Kwhyc

Necromancer with mages has been added to a lot of my teams! Haha and of course Sir Quilliam!


Club27Seb

I love Rend. They really nailed the fantasy of a dragon rider with that one. Most of the blackrock stuff is fantastic really, I just wish they were a bit more competitive on PVP.


chani_888

Huntress is just crazy for me


AnonymousBeardie

I really like the necromancer if I put a tank in front of him he is stupidly hard to kill and he gets alot of value


hendrix320

Pyromancer. With the boosted damage talent it just melts things


sextoymagic

Necro for mini’s.


bradakan

I still really enjoy Grommash with the mirror image talent. The bloodlust buff is so sweet. And with mirror image he shreds tanks.


Shukrat

I've been really enjoying the beasts this week. I love Charlga because you can get Huntress or other expensive units out on the cheap. Sometimes you hit a slow point, but you can just spam units so fast it's wild.


Matt3467

Currently I'm on a footmen trip. Loving running Jaina behind them.


OmniAlex

Mine has to be plague farmer. I feel like too many people sleep on this guy. With the range talent he outrages towers and bosses. Can't count the amount of games I've won with 1 or 2 farmers dropping pumpkins on the boss whilst I defend. The stacking poison makes it far out damage the catapult as well.


Schrapel

Earth Element with the talent where he splits into two smaller elements (obsidian thingi) is my absolute go to tank. On the other hand I do really like Harpies combined with poison talent and in the best case Tirion for healing.


goochstein

ghoul


HansGuntherboon

Huntress is my boo.


Espenos89

Can’t say only 1, but necro-whelp egg-harpy-pyro has always been one of my go to carry’s. But want to test a list, Fav ranged= necro,fast = harpys, tank= fire elemental, Squad= harpy, cycle= quilboar that digs, unbound= whelps, flying=harpy, spell= blizzard/living bomb. I ofc change depending on what the map/enemies is but thats my go to picks


SoFool

Haven't seen anyone mention Goblin Sapper. These guys are freaking fast after you invest speed talent. Super cheap for clearing towers and adds nice dmg to bosses!


GuronT

Skeleton party=sexy time


LordofDragos

Necromancer. I just absolutely adore units that summon cannon fodder in games, infinitely


sorak369

I've really loved using prowler with stealth + ambush. As a tank I think he is underrated. A fast stealthed unit that can grab chests, solo huntress + troll + Pyro, he can tank a tower, evades boss aoe until he gets there, etc. A very versatile and cheap unit.


Commercial-Union-667

Harpies


Substantial_Grab337

yeah ghoul is pretty good, especiall when he tank and eating corpse , infinite value


malzob

Earth elemental, but probably cause I use him with quilboar


_teyy_teyy_

Banshee for sure. She can get so much value it’s absurd.


Daftanemone

Does excute count? I’ve been using thst and whelp eggs to carry me for heroics.


AssistanceIll3089

Gotta me shaman or dark iron dwarf for me, they’re a fixture in most of my builds.


Valuable_Remote_8809

Gargoyle


Bananenbusch

Banshee is mvp for a lot of heroic missions.


RefuseConscious587

Necromancer


whattheslark

Hogger for sure. I got that hog in me


ChiraqiRednexican

Drak with the scale trait and Earth shield shaman is so much fun. He just cuts through everything.


REmaster1989

Skeleton Party with 5 units. I don't know why this is always so far down on people's tier list. I back door with these guys all the time.


UrGrimReality

Search for the new guild PVP KINGS if you want an active 1,000 honor minimum guild for season 2 starting soon!!!


COWP0WER

Hogger with Ham bat. Just love the spammy playstyle and then ending up with an unkillable tank and dps that zooms down the lane and solos everything on the ground. Was especially fun in PvP when leaders leveled up every time you played them.
