Journey across Azeroth
There are over 70 zones at launch with 5 levels divided into zones with the final level of each being a harder mission, which requires a powerful army. Each boss is unique, forcing players to change their strategy. Onyxia, the dragon from the trailer, is the final boss in the game.
Arcade Surge
The Arcade Surge Game mode lets us replay levels with an electric Twist. Completed missions will periodically light up with energy, offering a rotating selection. Players will need to utilize specific minis, some of which they might not own or have never used before. In another Surge mode, players will receive a modifier in a specific map zone.

Heroic Campaign
Upon reaching 50 sygils, players unlock this challenging campaign. It features the regular campaign but with a higher level requirement and a more challenging map. Each level completion grants extra rewards, and completing the entire zone offers an additional bonus, providing extra XP to boost the player's army.
Dungeons
The game features 3 maps with 3 bosses. Each week, the game rotates the family of minis that can enter the dungeon. Before starting the level, the player selects a relic acting like a talent applied to an individual unit, a part of the team, or the entire army. Up to 3 relics can be stacked simultaneously—one for each level of the dungeon. Players have only 2 attempts to complete this mission before starting over. Defeating the final boss rewards special mini upgrades applicable to the leaders.
