Arclight Surge Guide: Mechanics and How to Play

Arclight Surge is a new game mode in Warcraft Rumble where you can earn extra gold and clear maps with unique modifiers. Read on to learn more about Arclight Surge, its mechanics, schedule, how to play it, when it resets, as well as the rewards for clearing an Arclight Surge.

What is Arclight Surge?

Three-Day Arclight Surge of Two Defeated Zones

Arclight Surge is a new repeating game mode that features two maps you've already defeated before that are now on Surge! The Surge lasts for three days and it moves to different zones twice a week.

One map will feature a modifier that alters how the game is played, while the other map will let you play using a pre-made army that's a combination of two families.

Maps that are brimming with Arclight energy pose new challenges for players. In this game mode, you can earn extra gold, get to know other families and Minis, as well as upgrade the troops in your currently equipped army.

Regular Battles on Maps on Surge Will Be Unavailable As Long As They're On Surge

Since an Arclight Surge happens on zones that you've already completed before, regular battles in these zones are postponed until the Arclight Surge has ended.

How to Play Arclight Surge

Look For Zones That Have A Blue Glow

Zones that are affected by Arclight Surge glow blue on your World Map.

You can start completing an Arclight Surge by selecting a zone that's surrounded by a blue glow and selecting a map in it that you want to clear.

Clear One Zone Using a Pre-Made Army With Two Different Leaders

Battles in Arclight Surge don't play by the rules.

While regular battles only allow one leader per army, one Arclight Surge zone allows you to have two leaders at the same time. Each battle comes with a different set of pre-made armies that are a combination of the two different families indicated on the map.

These pre-made armies replace your current army and it's a great way to get to know other Minis that you don't usually use!

Each family and leader have different playstyles as well. Playing Arclight Surge can help you understand how they're used in the battlefield, thus giving you an idea how to launch a counter attack when pitted against them.

Clear One Zone That Has a Map-Wide Modifier

In another Arclight Surge zone, you'll be introduced to various map-wide modifiers that alters how the game will be played out. You need to adapt your strategy to these modifiers quickly to gain the upperhand in battle.

Here are the various modifiers you can encounter in Arclight Surge.

• Bloodsport: All Minis gain Bloodlust (units gain +33% movement and attack speed).
• Ding!: Minis level up each time they are played.
• Dragon's Hoard: Gold Mines and Treasure Chests regenerate Gold very quickly.
• Gilded Armaments: Kobolds gain 10 levels when Mining Gold. Minis gain 5 levels when opening a Chest.
• Glass Cannons: All Minis deal double damage and have half health.
• Overclocked: Triple Income (Passive Gold income increased to 300%.)
• Sappertime: A pair of Sappers spawn at each base every 15 seconds.
• Towers of Power: Towers and Meeting Stones are upgraded! 

When Does Arclight Surge Reset?

Resets Every Sundays and Thursdays

Arclight Surges move to different zones twice a week. They happen to two different maps that you have already completed before and they move to a different zone every Sunday and Thursday.

These Surges will last for three days until they have to move to another zone again. You can see how many days and hours are left for you to play Arclight Surge on a certain zone by looking at the icon
