Are you new to Warcraft 3 and still wondering how to find your groove in this highly strategic game? Do you think you have some small skills considering yourself an intermediate player, or better still do you consider yourself an expert in the game? Whatever level you rank at, Warcraft 3 is a full strategy game that takes a lot of time and experience to learn. Having mentioned that, do you know that you can still become a MASTER of the game? It’s very simple. Just follow the following lessons and you’ll find yourself becoming a great Warcraft III player in no time.

Lesson 1: Knowledge

Think of Warcraft III as a game of chess where you assume your opponent is just as smart and smart as you are. The ability to understand your enemies is very important in Warcraft 3; you have to be able to understand what your enemies are capable of and what they cannot do. Warcraft 3 is a game with many strategies; you have to understand the unit alignments of these various strategies.

Lesson 2: Time

You have to be time conscious to be a successful Warcraft III player, every second you spend thinking about what to do matters because not taking any action for just a few seconds can cost you a lot. give your enemies space to take control of the arena; a good strategy is to intermittently change lanes into others to break up their formation.

Lesson 3: Learning your maps

Not learning your maps correctly could affect your crawler, a general rule of thumb is to learn maps in custom game mode in another to get familiar with the crawler in the real online experience. It is important to use the “auto-launch” and “click-needed” units effectively. Here’s a secret: never use Bloodrage on creeps and expect it to be ready for you in player conflicts and make sure to expand your base so you can earn extra income.

Lesson 4: Unit Control

Here is a strategy that will not allow you to lose units in a battle, when you are in combat, never forget to remove damaged units to avoid losing them. Another good approach is to attack with the strongest units in front, especially the heavily armored units. When you’re retreating, you first need to push weaker units back, so they’re not behind you on others to risk being picked off by your enemies. I recommend using casters for your stasis trap when attacking or retreating as it helps slow down enemies. Always keep in mind that your enemy is just as smart as you are and is capable of doing anything just like you.

Lesson 5: Microphone, technology and exploration

This combination of techniques is very important in Warcraft 3. Upgrading to tier2 without doing any defense can be a good strategy but it doesn’t guarantee victory. It’s best to upgrade everything at a good pace, while attacking your enemy. Armor upgrades help fight enemies. Any enemies you see upgrading their ghouls should be immediately canceled as they will definitely create abominations and necromancers with summonable skeletons. Scouting is also a good strategy as it helps reveal invincible units in your base; you can do this using air units and invincible units.

Lesson 6: Counter

Scanning helps reveal invincible units and allows you to see casters turned into enemies, thus you can make counters. You can then make counters like spirit walkers, priests, or other units that can remove summonables or debuffs from combat. If your enemy starts to get airborne, you can counter them with anti-aircraft weapons like dragonhawkriders or bat riders. By playing this game even with a better player you could still have your victory, all you need to do is equip yourself with a variety of skills, there are so many tricks you can use, such as using zeppelin to place a long range siege on the trees of your enemies, you can even build towers on their trees or even run towers. The most important thing to keep in mind here is that your enemy is capable of doing the same thing, so you need to approach with deep sense, attack well, and defend. Do everything you can to earn your victory.

Lesson 7: Learn to use hotkeys/keyboard shortcuts

Assigning hotkeys for each move is very important to be able to control multiple things at once. This will help you a lot, especially in battle, since you may need to control a lot of things at the same time; you may not have enough time to use the mouse to trigger an action. With hotkeys, your response time is excellent.

You may even need to upgrade your units’ armor or weapons during battle. Therefore, assign hotkeys to the movements that you perform intermittently. A simple one might be to assign the number “3” as a hotkey for your blacksmith, sawmill, and sawmill, to allow you to upgrade armor and weapons without having to switch your view back to your base.

Warcraft 3 being a strategy game. If you can successfully combine the strategies outlined in these lessons effectively, even the sky won’t be your limit in becoming a pro.
