Tribu Murlocs
Tribu Murlocs
Bozidar Radulovic
In this guide, we will explain each individual Murloc from the Murloc comp, and go into a bit of
detail on how they interact with the rest of the tribe, whether are they good enough, and how
exactly should you play them. Note that this is not an overall build guide since we have that in
our main Battlegrounds strategy guide Murloc comp. Here, we will go into a bit more detail
about Murloc comp and dissect (no pun intended) them for what they have to offer.

Tier 1 Murlocs
Swampstriker
The 1/5 stats are nice at the beginning of the game for Tempo,
especially if you give him a bit of attack somehow. His ability is okay,
but again, don’t try to force play early Murlocs just to get a few attack
stats in, it never ends well.
Bubble Gunner
Blazing Skyfin
This minion is fine because you will probably find useful Battlecry minions
in the next few turns, plus it is a nice minion to have in the later stages of
the game. If you transition to full battlecry Murlocs, Blazing Skyfin will
gain a lot of stats from it. He can be used in Dragon comps as well,
especially if you are going for full Dragon Battlecry comp.
Tad
Very good in the late stages when you need to just play Murlocs for Bream
Counter, and it’s good for the classic scenario of turn 3, where you have 5
Gold, and you buy Tad, sell him, and buy one more minion. You essentially
get a random Murloc for 2 Gold, which is fine.
Parched Wanderer
Tier 3 Murlocs
Adaptive Ancestor
Puddle Prancer
We go over this minion in our Battlegrounds Duos guide, but we did want to mention him here
too. Basically, he is very good for tempo and for just a few Gold, you can have a strong 20/20+
minion if you are lacking firepower in the mid-game. Do also note that Duos mechanics like
Portal in a Bottle also count as a Pass and trigger his stat-gaining ability, which is very cool.
Fountain Chiller
This Murloc is only good if you really have 3 or more keywords, and we’re
talking about midgame here. He’s obviously nice when you have Brann
and when you get your ball rolling, but other than that, he’s not really
anything special.
Implant Subject
Implant Subject is, all in all, a pretty overpowered minion for its tier. There
are no real downsides in picking him up. He gains momentum pretty
quickly, especially if you have a few other keywords on your other minions
like Divine Shield, Reborn, or Venomous, and he is generally very good in
the late game. Having Implant Subject throughout your game while playing
Murlocs is almost obligatory at this point in the meta.
Reckless Cliffdiver
Hackerfin
Hackerfin is pretty much the bread and butter of the Battlecry build because
he relies on your Murlocs having a decent amount of bonus keywords. This is
why Bubble Gunner is so powerful because you can essentially have up to 5
different keywords on Bubble Gunner and then boost him up with HackerFinn
in combination with Brann and Young Murk-eye. This combo is what will get
you the most stats, but the main problem is that you really need to trigger the
BubbleGunner’s effect a few times in order to get all those keywords. There
isn’t really another way to have a bunch of keywords on one minion.
Fairy Gillmother
There is nothing fancy about this Murloc – Fairy Gillmother gives you one (or
more if Golden or Drakkari buffed) random Murloc unit each turn. It can be
useful early on, but later you really don’t want this on your board, there are
many other murlocs that are far more useful.
‘Loc Prince
Lock Prince es muy bueno porque tiene una palabra clave innata, Divine
Shield, y gana más dos más dos por cada uno de tus elementos que mejoran
las estadísticas. Esto puede hacerlo bastante poderoso, pero ten en cuenta
que esto es principalmente para el juego de mitad a fin y no para las etapas
muy tardías del juego. Bubble Gunner con un montón de palabras clave aún
escala más en combinación con Hackerfin, pero 'Loc Prince está bastante a
la altura y también es mucho más fácil de conseguir (que 4+ palabras clave
en Bubble Gunner)
Murlocs de nivel 5
Rey Bagurgle
El Rey Bagurgle funciona muy bien con Brann y el Joven Ojo Oscuro, de eso
no hay duda. El problema es que puedes quedarte "atascado" fácilmente
en esta ruta de obtención de estadísticas de Grito de batalla, que de
alguna manera siempre termina siendo inferior a la "configuración
manual". Dado que solo tienes un espacio limitado, es más que probable
que obtener Vigilantes Primalfin además del Joven Ojo Oscuro sea una
mejor ruta a seguir. Sin embargo, este es un buen esbirro y deberías
elegirlo, especialmente si tienes a Brann.
Belcher operístico
Los múrlocs parecen carecer del potencial de estafa que alguna vez tuvieron, y Operatic
Belcher es el único múrloc con este poder, con el efecto adicional de Deathrattle para otorgarle
veneno a alguien más. Es malo contra cosas como Divine Shields, Undead y Summoning Beasts.
Por otro lado, es bastante bueno si tienes espacio vacío en el tablero y si el enemigo está
jugando algo como Demons (estadísticas puras, sin invocaciones, Divine Shields, etc.).
Mirador de Primalfin
Este es el esbirro clave para conseguir muchos múrlocs. Por sí solo no es nada
especial, especialmente en el nivel 5 con esas estadísticas, pero al combinarlo
con Ojo de Murk joven y Brann es donde comienza la verdadera diversión.
Podrás tener más de 15 de oro cada turno y mejorar mucho tus contadores
de besugo en tu mano.
