Son of Arugal Mission Guide

This guide focuses on the Heroic Son of Arugal encounter in Lordaeron but also works for the normal version.

Minis in Son of Arugal’s army

• Angry Chickens - Walking Crate
• Bat Rider - Fiery Surplus
• Blizzard - Brittle Ice
• Footmen - Shield Bash
• Huntress - Shadowmeld
• Pyromancer - Pyroblast
• Skeleton Party - 5-Man

Other minis and map mechanics

Son of Arugal summons a group of three Pyrewood Villagers every 15 seconds. They are fairly weak humans during the day, but turn into Pyrewood Worgen for the night. Day and night alternate every 45 seconds. Night also increases the gold income of Son of Arugal by 1 gold per 4 seconds.

In Heroic, it is always night. The Heroic Son of Arugal actually has a lower gold income than the normal version, as it only gains the 1 gold per 4 seconds night-time bonus and has no other income. However, the Heroic version summons a group of three Worgen every 15 seconds instead of Pyrewood Villagers. These are real Worgen minis with the Frenzy talent, and not the weaker Pyrewood versions.

General strategy

Push up the right lane. Deploy your minis on the right edge and they will be out of reach of the Tower in the middle. Take both Towers on the right and defend the left side as needed. Attack Son of Arugal from the right. The buffed Molten Giant is a phenomenal tank for this.
