Dryad will not be available in the guild WarChest in Season 8.

Don't underestimate this nimble little acorn, Dryad is Warcraft Rumble’s newest Cenarion Troop. As one of the children of the forest, Dryad prefers peace but wont hesitate to use her agile ranged attack to poison and ensnare foes, keeping enemies at bay.

Dryad won't be available in the G.R.I.D until Season 9, but don't worry; you can add it to your collection of Minis through the guild WarChest, PvP or three Store offers—one at season start, one mid-season, and another at the end of the season.


  • Name: Dryad
  • Family: Cenarion
  • Deploy Cost: 4 Gold
  • Health: 370
  • Damage: 175
  • Damage Type: Physical with 1 stack of Poison (Elemental) per hit.
  • Root Duration: 2 seconds
  • Traits: Attack Root, Poisonous, Fast
Attack
  • Javelin: A single-target ranged attack. Dryad throws her spear forward, damaging the enemy, Rooting them, and applying Poison.
Talents
Barrage
Favor new targets when possible.
Nature's Swiftness
Grant rapid Movement Speed to an ally.
Thorns
Gain Thorns on kill, dealing damage back to melee attackers. Stacks 10 times.

Dryad will be excellent against big single targets, such as tanks. She can be deployed after a push has already formed, her Fast movement speed will enable her to catch up to the group.

Although she can hit Flying enemies, her Root won't apply, making her slightly more effective at countering ground-based enemies.

Scholomance

The keep which was once a sight to behold, fell to ruin duing the Second War. Now deep beneath the ruined keep of Caer Darrow, within a labyrinth of crypts lay Scholomance. A frightening dungeon full of twisting shadows, dark magic and necromancy.

This dark illusionist will keep you guessing. Which one is the real Jandice? There's only one way to find out!

Disturbing the dead could quickly become overhwhelming when fighting Rattlegore!

Choose carefully when facing Darkmaster Gandling and his clever use of necromancy and trickery.


G.R.I.D Overrides

G.R.I.D overrides are a new feature that give more control over the G.R.I.D, allowing Mini rarity and XP to be changed before purchase.

Types of Overrides
  • Rare-O-Matic
  • Tinker's Gem

The Rare-O-Matic or ROM for short can be placed in any open spot in the G.R.I.D and will override Mini quality in the same row or column, changing it to Rare. The Gold cost of the Mini will also change to match the new rarity.

A Tinker's Gem can be placed in any open spot in the G.R.I.D to grant additional bonus XP to Minis in the same row or column when purchased. This can be used in combination with the already existing XP bonuses found naturally in the G.R.I.D.

Overrides are consumed once a Mini is purchased from the G.R.I.D. Only one type of override can be used at a time.


New Emotes

The Goblin Giggle emote will be available in the guild WarChest and the Stinky Meat Wagon emote is earnable through PvP at 12,000 Honor.
