Arathi Basin Battleground Blitz Guide
A retail WoW Blitz map guide covering win condition, opening plan, and the mistakes that lose games.
Win condition
First team to 1500 resources. Hold more bases than the enemy and bank resources faster to hit the score cap first. Opening splits and base trades decide most Blitz matches.
Primary objective
Control 5 nodes on timers. Open 1 healer + 1 DPS per spin. Match enemy numbers on contested rotates.
Opening focus
Spin Blacksmith and Lumber Mill. Bulk fight Gold Mine.
Common mistake
Over-stacking spin nodes while outnumbered at Stables, Gold Mine or Farm.
Remember these
- Opening Split 1 healer + 1 DPS per spin node (Blacksmith and Lumber Mill). Send the rest to Gold Mine. Stay on your assigned nodes all game.
- Spin First - On a sat node, spin and live as long as possible. Kills are a bonus - spinning > killing.
- Match Numbers - 2 at Farm means 2 of yours, not 6 at Blacksmith. Use BlitzFramesTargets before you leave a node. Leave locked bases and rotate 10-15 seconds before the next unlock.
