Rexxar, Champion of the Horde, is a ranged Bruiser Hero from the Warcraft universe.[1] Out in the wild, there is only the law of the jungle; survival depends on having a pack, on looking out for one another. Together with his loyal animal companions, the bear Misha and Spirit the hawk, he prowls the Nexus, always looking for the next challenge. The strength of the bear, the hawk's swiftness, and the hunter's cunning make them a formidable (and inseparable) team.[2]

Rexxar is a Bruiser who with his bear, Misha, expertly controls an area of the battleground.

Background[ | ]

Warcraft This section concerns content exclusive to the Warcraft universe.

Despite his fragmented heritage, Rexxar was instrumental in early Horde victories and the establishment of Orgrimmar.

One of the greatest heroes of the Horde was the fruit of an unusual union between orc and ogre. Raised by the Mok'nathal clan on Draenor, Rexxar's massive size and strength made him invaluable during the Horde invasion of Azeroth during the First War, despite his mixed heritage. Yet bloodshed and backstabbing from within his faction (coupled with the death of his companion wolf Haratha at the hands of an orc warlock) eventually diminished Rexxar's will to fight for the Horde, and he left to wander alone. Rexxar disappeared in Azeroth with new companions, including the bear Misha; now, he trusted the wilderness more than the "civilized" world.

During the Third War, while traveling through Kalimdor's Barrens, Rexxar stumbled upon Mogrin, an orc warrior defeated by quilboar, and agreed to take a message to the new warchief of the Horde. Journeying to the recently built city of Orgrimmar, Rexxar met the young warchief Thrall, who schooled him in the attitudes of a reformed Horde. Impressed by what he saw, Rexxar decided to fight alongside the troll scout Rokhan and the pandaren traveler Chen Stormstout to keep Orgrimmar safe from the attacks of Grand Admiral Daelin Proudmoore. Daelin ignored the pleas of his daughter Jaina and attacked the Horde, believing them to be untrustworthy monsters. Rexxar led a counterattack, which led to the death of the grand admiral. With Orgrimmar established, the newly-titled Champion of the Horde returned to his homeland in Outland, the remnants of the world of Draenor. Rexxar remains ever ready to serve the new Horde – his true people – once again.

Gameplay[ | ]

Rexxar is a hybrid character that combines the crowd control of a Bruiser with the strong damage potential of an Assassin. He is followed by his bear companion, named Misha, who fights alongside Rexxar and supports him in various ways throughout the game. Compared to other Bruisers, playing Rexxar is a unique experience since you have to control both him and Misha at the same time. Rexxar requires good micro management in order to unfold his maximum potential and, as such, he sometimes feels quite disappointing for newer players. Controlling Misha feels challenging at first. However, once the initial learning curve has been overcome, Rexxar's strong chasing and kiting capabilities and the ability to stun multiple foes at the same time make him a force to be reckoned with.

Strengths[ | ]

  • Strong solo laner
  • High health pool on Misha
  • Decent crowd control
  • Can easily clear Mercenary Camps on his own
  • Rexxar being able to hold Beacons with Misha makes him very potent pick on Braxis Holdout or Volskaya

Weaknesses[ | ]

  • Very weak if Misha dies
  • Rexxar himself is vulnerable
  • Controlling Misha requires some practise

Trivia[ | ]

  • Rexxar first appeared in Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne (July 2003).
    • His book debut was two and a half years later, in Cycle of Hatred (January 2006).
  • Rexxar is voiced by Steven Blum in Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne and Heroes of the Storm, and Matthew Mercer in Hearthstone, World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor, and World of Warcraft: Legion.
  • Rexxar was previewed at Gamescom 2015.[3][4]
  • Rexxar's design in Heroes was taken from a painting by Wei Wang. Rexxar's design was modeled off the painting, and his axes were made more detailed, and he was given armor in the form of animal skulls and other items.[5]
  • Rexxar was the first ranged bruiser hero.
  • Rexxar's ability Mend Pet is the only basic ability in the game that is not affected by any talent of the hero.
  • Rexxar says his mask isn't supposed to be a bat, but a wolf ("and a dark one at that"). This refers to how his design was inspired by Darkwolf, a character from the 1983 Ralph Bakshi film Fire and Ice.
  • Misha is a Russian diminutive name, derived, in most cases, from the masculine name Mikhail (Michael). In folk tales, it also serves as the diminutive for Medved which means "bear" in Russian. Bears are frequently encountered as characters in Russian folklore.
