=====================Section 1: Introduction/Legal Stuff=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh man. Waiting for The Frozen Throne has been tedious but it has finally
arrived, and me and Emuking have decided to do a joined effort FAQ for
TFT. Sadly, the people I ordered it from were very very slow and I
didn't get TFT until about July 12th. Emuking also took his time in
buying it. So othis FAQ will not be the first or even second FAQ in the
list, but I hope you WC3 fanatics will take ther time to read it anyway.
If you have any questions or comments send them to AcidSlayer1@hotmail.com.

This also means you cannot take credit for any work that was put into

guide out for personal use, becausee we wouldn't want you to have to
minimize TFT everytime you must resort to this now would we?
This Version has finished the Night Elf Campaign and officially finished
the units for Orc, Night Elf, anf The Naga. That is really not too much
progress. Soon I will add the rest of the races.
July 18, 2003
-------------
Version 0.3
The only thing this update does is add one new Night Elf mission. Really,
I only updated because I got a new email adsress that I am going to use
just for FAQs. I didn't want the old one being sent to.
July 17, 2003
-------------
Version 0.2
The Night Elf campaign was updated in this version and I added the Naga
buildings and units into the guide. We're soon to add a massive update
that will include the Undead and Human Units and structures as well. It
is gonna feel very nice to be completely finished with that part and then
focus on the actual walktrough part.
July 14th, 2003
---------------
Version 0.1
This is the base version for the entire FAQ. It includes all of the basic
stuff, intro, obviously the updates, the New to TFT section, the unit and
building descriptions for Orc and Night Elf, and the first three levels
of the Human campaign. The rest of the unit comparisions and some of thier
stats will be coming soon in a future update. More levels will also be
added ASAP. Who knows? Later we might add some multiplayer strategies
for specific races and maybe a big and happy starting build section.
This section wil guide you thorugh a list of abbreiviations that I may
use throughout this guide in order to make it easier to follow (and easier
to type as well) These abbreiviations will mosst likely be seen on Battle.
net commonly, so you waon't have to worry if you are there often.
TFT - The Frozen Throne
RoC - Reign of Chaos
GL - This means "Good Luck" ussually seen before the match starts.
HF - Similarly seen before the match starts. It means "Have fun."
GG - Means "Good Game" It is sain if in fact the match was a good game.
More often then not you will see this. In fact, it is often used
pre-maturely when the game may not be a clear win.
PoTM - Preistess of the Moon
KotG - Keeper of the Grove
DotC - Druid of the Claw
DotT - Druid of the Talon.
AOW - Ancient of War.
Any other Night elf thing that has a long annoying name will most likely
be abbreiviated.
Pally - Paladin
There are many Hero abbreiviations as well such as:
MK - Mountain King
AM - Archmage
TC - Tauren Chieftan
This is ongoing. I will say the hero names without abbreiviations though
because it can get confusing.
I will add more as we need them.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
====================Section 2: New to The Frozen Throne==================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
In The Frozen Throne, Blizzard is going all out on new units, heros,
items, and everything. In fact they have constructed an entirely knew
game with TFT. Here I will list some different things that are different
from ROC to TFT. I will try to dispel some common rumors too.
-Every race has new units and buildings.
-Every race has a buildable shop where they can buy useful items.
-Every race has one new hero.
-There are now neutral heros that can be bought at different nuetral
buildings.
-Reduced gold cost and raised lumber cost for almost everything.
-NO UPKEEP:0-50.
-LOW UPKEPP:51-80.
-HIGH UPKEEP: 81-100.
-New campaigns for every race.
-Naga Units.
-Many units have new armor types.
-Much More!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
====================Section 3: The Warcraft 3 Basics=====================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
To play Warcraft 3, it does take some degree of knowledge for what you
are doing. You will learn what I am going to be telling you in this
sectoin from the tutorial campaign in the original WC3. I know you all
have it because it is required to install TFT. Lets go over some basics
shall we?
Unit Control
------------
To use a unit you will need to left click on it. By doing
so you will see the unit's HP,MP, a little graphic of what it looks like,
and the spells/abilities the unit has. To move the unit right click where
you want the unit to move. You must select it before you can move it.
To attack with a unit, it is as simple as right clicking on the enemy
units. In order to use special skills and abilities click on the icon of
the spell you want to use and left click in the place you want it used.
Hero Control
------------
Heros move and attack in the same fashion as units do, but with one
difference, they can level up and you can choose the Hero's skills. When
your hero level's up they flash very brightly for a second. and you will
see a little 1 near the picture of your hero. This means they have one
skill you can assign. TO assigan a skill, click on a hero and look to the
lower right corner on the screen. There is a box that is a red cross like
a medical sign. Click on that and then you can choose which spell to spend
points in. Easy. Heros also have additional stats such as Strength, Agility,
and Intelligence.
Building a Base
---------------
To build a base, click on your basic worker unit. (Peasents/Peons/Wisps/
Acolytes.) and look to the lower right box. in the ower left in that lower
right box you will see an icon that, if you hover your mouse over for a
scond or two says: construct building, or something to that effect.
Click on that then choose the building you want to construct. A translucent
image of the build will be where your mouse is, and you can place it on the
map wherever you want. Again, easy.
Resources
---------
As in every RTS, you must collect resources to keep your base running
and for you to build units. Gold is found in goldmines and wood is taken
from trees. Always assign 5 of your workers to gold and lumber. Anymore
won't make a difference. For lumber I suggest ou put at least five workers
more will get you additional lumber though.
Supply
------
Supply is a buildable resource meaning that you have direct control over
how much supply you have. Eash unit has a supply cost. and your main
building gives you 10 supply to work with. to get more supply you need
to build your supply building (farms/ziggurats/burrows/moon wells)
The supplys for your units can never go over your total supplys unless
some supply buildings were damaged. YOu can get a maximum at 100 supply.
76/80
Left = Number of supply you are using.
Right = Total Supply.
Upkeep
------
Upkeep is a tax on gold for how many unit you have based upon your supply.
Here is how it works:
No Upkeep (10 Gold per return) - 0-50 used supply
Low Upkeep (7 Gold per return) - 51-80 used supply
High Upkeep (4 Gold per return) - 81-100 used supply
These basic ideas about Warcraft 3 should give you a firm grasp of what to
expect when you play it. It is helpful to know this stuff before you play.
The Blasemaster relies on agility and strength for his power, which
is good because he is one of the most powerful heros when leveled up
fully.
Wind Walk
This spell allows the Blademaster to go invisible and have an increased
movement speed. This spell has very limited uses because, as you can
imagine, it is only good for getting away. This is however quite helpful
in the limited ways you can use it. It is great to harrass the enemy and
then wind walk to get out of their base. Also, because of the increase
in speed, it is useful for catching up to any units that you think you
can take down.
Mirror Image
This spell has the Blademaster split up into 2/3/4(depending on the level)
images of himself that do no damage, but look exactly the same as
the original thing. This increases the longevity that the BM will be
living because chances are that the enemy will go for one of the
mirrored images. These can also be used as an effective scout.
Critical Hit
Critical hit gives the Bladmaster a chance that he will do a massive
attack that does lots of damage with every swing. You shouldn't
rely on this due to it's random nature, but it does give you the edge
in battles. Especcially when fully leveled up.
Blade Storm
The Blademaster will swing in circles with his sword out doing
damage to everybody in his wake. Get this skill ASAP because it is very
useful in tough battles and will absolutely go through casters and tier
1 melee units.
The Tauren Cheiftan has the highest HP in the game, and is immense and
powerful.
Shockwave
Shockwave is a powerful projectile spell that unleashes a large
shockwave over the target. It is powerful and hurts any units in the way
whether they are behind or in front of the target.
War Stomp
Warstop is a similar spell to the Mountain King's counter-part. It releases
a wave of energy around the Tauren Chieftain in a circular pattern. Any
enemy unit caught in the wave will be hurt. This is very effective on groups
of units surrounding the Tauren Chieftan.
Endurance Aura
Endurance Aura makes anything around the Tauren Chieftan get a small speed
boost depending on the level of the spell, the higher the bosst will be.
Reincarnation
This simple ultimate is passive and allows the Chieftan to be revived upon
being killed by the enemy.
The Far Seer has a range of very very useful attacks and relies on intelligence
to fuel it's power.
Chain Lightening
This spell has the Far Seer shoot lightening that rebounds off to other enemies
in a
chain-like fashion. It's damage increases and it bounces additional times when
the
spell levels. The spell is very powerful and should be used whenever the enemym
has
many weak units in a row and to finish off weakened heros.
Far Sight
This Scouting ability reveals a portion of the map and cn be used as a valuable
scouting tool, but with Feral Spirit and Chain lighteneing on your side, it is
hard to
find a good time to put a skill point into this.
Feral Spirit
This summons two wolves to help attack the enemy/scout for you. These are
summons and
will fall to most dispel type attacks so be careful. Also you can ONLY summon
two of
these at a time.
Earthquake
As the Far Seer's ultimate spell, this thing can do massive damage to
buildings, but
only slows down units to a crawl, which can still be useful in certain
situations. I
advise that you use this on enemy towers/expansions.
Healing Wave
This spell is chain lightening that go to friendly units and heals them up
depending on the level of the spell. This is very very useful because Orcs
don't ussually have
great healing early in the game.
Hex
Hex is a hero version of polymorph. It turns any traget into a random critter.
Serpant Ward
This creates a ward that looks like a snake. It stays in place and attacks
ground
units.
Big Bad Voodoo
This makes every unit surrounding the Shadow Hunter turn Invincible.
Unfortunately,
the Shadow Hunter is not invincible during this time, so he will be the enemy's
prime
target for awhile.
_________
|Orc Units|
---------
Peon
----
HP: 250
MP: N/A
Cost:Gold-75; Supply-1
Attack Damage: 7-8 (Normal)
Armor: 0 (Medium)
Prerequisites: Great Hall
You know exactly what the peon does. He builds every building you will ever
have with
Orcs. He also has the ability to repair buildings and go into burrows if your
base is
under attack.
Grunts are the Orc's basic units and they have a ton of HP and a powerful
attack.
These two factors make sure that the grunt is still useful in the mid and late
stages
of the game. If you are not using Taurens for melee, use these because raiders
tend to
be bad against units, plus the have less HP.
Troll headhunters are overlooked, but very useful in the early game. They have
power
but low HP, and since they are ranged should be put behind your melee units so
they
are safe. The extra damage can undoubtably work to your advantage.
Radiers, I'm afraid are sup par units. They are made to be base seige units,
but don't
have the required HP to take the damage. Also, they are ONLY good for base
seige
because they do next to nothing to normal units.
Ensnare
This is very similar to the Spider's Web ability. It takes down an air unit and
puts
it on the ground so your normal units can take swings at it.
Kodo Beasts are useless with the exception of building one or two per match.
This is
because of their very useful aura, War Drums.
War Drums
War Drums increases every unit's attack around the Kodo Beast by 10%, upgraded
20%.
This works very well if Endurance aura and Bloodlust are also used.
Devour
This has the Kodo Beast eat a unit and slowly digest it is his body. If the
beast is
killed before the unit is fully gone, then they will come back. It can
effectivly take
out some of the ememies more effective units. It doesn't work on heros.
Shamens are great Orc casters that give buffs to your units.
Lightening Shield
After using this spell on a target, any units near the target will be hurt
slowly, so
I suggest you use this on enemy casters and ranged units. It can also be used
on your own units. You can cast it on a hero and harass if you wanted.
Purge
Simply, this takes away any buff/debuffs to the enemy and friendlys and makes
the
effected units considerably slower then they were. A downside is that they are
not
autcasted and your units also become slower.
Bloodlust
This is the main spell you are going to want to use with shamans. It increases
any
units affected attack speed by 50% and makes them quicker in general. This is a
must
have for any Orc players.
Troll Witchdoctors are very very useful units that are mainly defensive.
Sentry Ward
Lay this ward down aywhere on the map and for 600 seconds you will see that
area in
which you casted. This spell is useful at the beginning because of scouting,
but soon
is rendered useless due to Stasis Traps.
Stasis Traps
This makes any units that stumble upon it stunned for a short amount of time.
It is
extremely useful in a myriad of situations. It can be used in place of sentry
wards
for a stunning sentry and you should always place these around the enemy when
you
fight a major battle.
Healing Wards
Healing wards regenerate HP of all units in an area of effect. This is useful
in and
out of battle for obvious reasons. I suggest you use these like the stasis
traps.
Often in battle.
Wyverns are an Orc air unit that is sub-par compared to all of the others. If
you are
going to build them build a lot of them. They can be usefull if built in small
numbers
for support as well, but if you are plainning Orc air, make sure your opponent
doesn't
know. If he does he will most likely decimate you.
The Orc's strongest normal unit, as well as the strongest in the game. It has a
lot of
Hp especially with healing wards. An effedctive strategy is to use these in
conjunction with shaman, kodo beast, and tauren chieftain. This makes many
spells and
Auras stack to give you a powerful and fast offensive advantage.
The Demon Hunter is a very good choice for a starting Night Elf Hero.
Although the Demon Hunter is weak at the begginning of the game, if you
raise his level a few times you will find the Demon Hunter to be a
powerful force, and a great asset to your army. He is an agility based
hero whose spells are useful for solo creeping.
Mana Burn
This spell takes away 100/200/300 MP away from the enemy and
cuts that in half as the total damage you do to your opponent. This
is useful in a very significant way. To stop your opponent from casting
spells and to harm them a little bit. nstead of going for evade and
immolation first, why not try this? It can stop harassment with no
problem.
Immolation
This spell is either turned on or off and does 10/15/20 damage to enemies
around the Demon Hunter. Obviously this is very good for solo creeping.
It also makes the Demon Hunter a valuable melee fighter. If you are going
to mana burn, do that first before you use immolation as not to waste you mana.
Evasion
This spell gives a chance (10%/20%/30%) that the Demon Hunter will evade
the attack that is brought onto it. This can be useful, but not
recommended as a first skill.
Metamorhposis
This ultimate spell is one of the best ultimates you can have. It makes
the Demon Hunter go into Demon form and makes the Demon have chaos
damage and a ranged attack. You also get a HP and armor boost as well.
This spell can waste tons of guys before it rus out.
Priestess of The Moon
---------------------
Cost: Gold-425 Wood-100 Supply-5
Strength:18
Agility:19
Intelligence:15
Attack:
Armor:
Instead of the Demon Hunter, you might want to give the Preistess of the
Moon a try for the first hero. She has very sueful early spells and stays
quite useful because of Starfall and her very goood aura.
Scout
This spell allows the Priestess to summon an invinciple owl with no
attack that is a very good scout. Obviusly you should use this for
scouting only. It is realy only useful early game because it doesn't have
it's same usefulness later in the game.
Searing Arrow
This spell offers a powerful ranged attack for the Priestess. It adds
fire damage that goes up in tens per level. This boost in attack is
essential and makes the Preistess a very powerful unit.
Trueshot Sura
This is another reason that the Priestess of the Moon is such a
worthwhile hero. She has this aura that increases the power of all ranged
attackers around her. This is very, very useful and will make the PoTM
a great team hero.
Starfall
The PoTM's ultimate is without a doubt a powerful spell that has a good
time to be used and a bad time. When this powerful spell is active, it
has many stars fall from the sky on all surrounding units. However people
will try to interrupt this spell however they can when it is on. So if
you mana burn anything with stunning spells and use this then it is great
because they will have no way to stop it except for actually killing
the PoTM. If this spell is interrupted it is wasteful.
Keeper of The Grove
-------------------
Cost: Gold-425 Wood-100 Supply-5
Strength: 16
Agility: 15
Intelligence: 18
Attack:
Armor:
The Keeper of the Grove is a great harrassment hero, but loses his
effectiveness somewhat, later in the game. His skills sound solid, but
are really not as great as you expect them to be.
Entangling Roots
This causes vines rise from the ground and keep the target unit in it's
place while causeing a moderate amount of damage. This skill is very
useful for hero kiling, but can only target one unit and therfore is very
limited in use. Another fact is that it is dispellable and doesn't work
as well in later game.
Force of Nature
Target a group of nearby trees to cause a group of 2/3/4 Treants to rise
from them. The Treants are melee units and are in general weak. luckily
the 4 of them you get at later levels will be worht it. Sadly, like all
summonable units, these can be dispelled.
Thorns Aura
Thorns if an aura, which means it affects unit's surrounding your hero.
The aura makes any melee attackers get damage back from their attack's
The amount of damage is insignificant and ony useful if leveled all the
way.
Tranquility
The Keeper of the Grove's ultimate spell is very powerful. It makes the
Keeper of the Grove worth it in the long run. Upon use of this spell,
the Keeper of the Grove will Heal 20 HP per second to all surrounding
units for quite awhile. This makes it very very hard to hurt any of the
NE's force aorund the Keeper. The only downside to this spell is that it
is easily interrupted with stun, sleep ect.
Fan of Knives
This allows the Warden to throw knives in a circular pattern around her.
Blink
This spell is a small telepoertaion device that allows the Warden to get over
small
Ledges/Rivers and you can use it to escape battle.
Shadow Strike
Throws a poinoned dagger at the enemy and makes them get posioned.
Vengence
Summons an avatar of Vengence when the Warden dies to hunt down and kill the
unit that
killed the Warden.
The Warden has the ability to Shadowmeld.
_______________
|Night Elf Units|
---------------
Wisp
----
HP:120
MP:N/A
Cost:Gold-60; Supply-1
Attack Damage: N/A
Armor: 0 (Medium)
Prerequisites: Tree of Life
The wisp is the builidng unit of the Night Elf's. It can then build all
of the structures you will need as Night Elfs. On top of being able to
build structures it can also detonate. Detonate allows the Wisp to take
away mana from the Hero/Units it has detonated upon. This is a great
counter againt hero rushes and casters. Wisps can be only be put into
an entangled gold mine and can ony harvest wood by going onto the tree
without knocking it down. One last thing to note about Wisps is that they
can restore buildings which is essentially the same thing as replaring a
building.
Archer
------
HP:240
MP:N/A
Cost: Gold-130 Wood-10; Supply-2
Attack Damage: 16-18 (Piercing)
Armor:0 (Medium)
Prerequisites: Ancient of War
Archers are the first unit you have access to building and they are very
good units if used correctly. Archers have a ranged piercing attack so use
these if you think that the opponent are going to get a lot of tier three
melee units. Keep in mind that these units are also good anti air units
that can remain useful pretty much throughout the whole game.
Huntresses are powerful units with a significant amount of HP. Use these
as meatshield for other units. Some people find it useful to mass these
things. These units are ranged attackers that do normal damage. Also
they have owl sentrys that are very useful for scouting out the map.
Their upgrades are essential if you are going to have them.
Huntresses have Shadowmeld
Dryads
------
HP:435
MP:200
Cost:Gold-145 Wood-60; Supply-3
Attack Damage:16-18 (Piercing)
Armor: 0 (Unarmored)
Prerequisites: Ancient of Lore
Dryads are a very useful unit. They are ranged attackers that do not do very
much damage, but make up for it with their skills: Dryads are hard to
counter due to their immunity to magic, air units will be destroyed when
faced against an army of dryads and slow poison serves as a valuable hero
killer. Mix this in with Abolish magic and you have one great unit.
Abolish Magic
This is similar to the Priest's Dispel. It takes away any buffs/ statis of
the unit it is casted on. The difference between dipel and abolish is that
abolish only focused on one unit, but is autocasted, while dispel is AOE,
but not autocasted.
Magic Immunity
This is a passive spell that is both bad and good for the Dryads. An example
of bad is that you cannot cast buffs on the dryads. Good would be that dyrads
cannot be Blizzarded. Any spell we do nothing to Dryads.
Slow Poison
This passive skill slows any enemies that are hit with the Dryad's weapon
as well as adding small poison damage to them for a little while.
Druid of the Claw
-----------------
HP:430
MP:400
Cost:Gold-255 Wood-80; Supply-4
Attack Damage: 19-22(Normal)
Armor: 1 (Heavy)
Prerequisites:Ancient of Lore
Druid of the Claw(DoTC) are yet another very valuable unit to the Night
Elfs. This is mainly due to the fact that they are one of NE's only
Melee units (with the Matser training upgrade) There skills are:
Roar
Roar makes every unit around the DoTC who casted it to gain an increase
in power for a limited time. This skill is great when using any type
of unit. so you should utilize it whenever possible.
Revitilize
This spell heals a single unit very quickly. The spell is great and
should be used whenever someone is in need of HP.
Bear Form
Bear Form transforms the DoTC into a bear and gives him increased armor and HP
stats.
Bear Form
---------
HP: 960
MP: 400
Cost: Gold-225 Wood-80 (Pluse Upgrade Costs); Supply - 4
Attack Damage: 29-44 (Normal)
Armor: 3 (Heavy)
Prerequisites: Ancient of Lore
Roar
Roar makes every unit around the DoTC who casted it to gain an increase
in power for a limited time. This skill is great when using any type
of unit. so you should utilize it whenever possible. This can only
be used by the Bear when the upgrade Mark of the Claw is upgraded.
Mountian Giant
--------------
HP:1600
MP:N/A
Cost: Gold-425 Wod-100; Supply-7
Attack Damage
Armor: 4
Prerequisites: Ancient of Lore
Taunt
This makes every unit near the Mountain Giant focus fire onto him. this is
useful
because his high HP and armor could make the enemy take awhile to kill him and
other units can be doing damage to others.
Grab Tree
The Mountain Giant grabs a tree and uses it battering ram staly on buildings.
He
becomes a seige unit.
Hardened Skin
Reduces Physical Damage done to the Mountain Gint.
Resistant Skin
Reduces Magical damage done to the Mountain Giant and make shim immune to
cetain
spells.
Druid of the Talon
------------------
HP: 300
MP: 200
Cost: Gold-135 Wood-20; Supply-2
Attack Damage: 11-13 (Magic)
Armor: 0 (Unarmored)
Prerequisites: Ancient of Wind
Druid of the Talon, The offensive spellcasters, offer two brutal spells
and another trandofrmation.
Fairie Fire
This spell subtracts 5 armor from the unit it is casted upon. This means
that the enemies armor will read 2-5. In this case the enemy will take
extra damage(an extra 3 because of 2-5). This spell also reveals the
shroud around the effected enemies, making this a valuable scouting tool.
Cyclone
This is a bit like stasis field from Starcraft, it takes one unit/hero
and puts them atop of a cyclone and that renders them useless for about
thirty seconds. After that time the unit will fll down from the cyclone
and you will easily be able to kill a few units, right? On heros this
spell only lasts ten seconds.
Storm Crow Form
This allows the DoTT to transform into a storm crow, which is a valuable
anti-air unit. IT can also be used as a good scout.
Storm Crow
----------
HP: 380
MP: 400
Cost: Gold-135 Wood-20 (Plus the Upgrade costs); Supply-2
Attack Damage: 35-41 (Magic)
Armor: 0 (unarmored)
Prerequisites: Ancient of Wind
Fairie Fire
This spell subtracts 5 armor from the unit it is casted upon. This means
that the enemies armor will read 2-5. In this case the enemy will take
extra damage(an extra 3 because of 2-5). This spell also reveals the
shroud around the effected enemies, making this a valuable scouting tool.
This can also only be used by the Storm Crow when the upgrade
Mark of the Talon is researched.
Hippogryph
----------
HP: 525
MP: N/A
Cost:Gold-160 Wood-20; Supply-2
Attack Damage: 50-75 (Normal)
Armor: 0 (Unarmored)
Prerequisites: Ancient of Wind
Hippogryphs are not too useful of a unit. They can only attack air, but
do lots of damage too. Although they may be a great anti-air unit, I
don't use them nuch at all.
Phase Shift
This Makes the Faerie Dragon shift out of existance whenever it takes
damage. This is only for a few seconds.
Mana Flare
This Spell makes the Faerie Dragon curl into a ball and release coem sort
of spell that makes any magic casters harmed whenever they cast a spell.
Spell Immunity
Makes the Faerie Dragon immune to magical attacks and spells.
Hippogryph Rider
----------------
HP:765
MP:N/A
Cost:Gold-340 Wood-20; Supply-4 (The cost of an archer and Hippogryph)
Attack Damage:19-22 (Piercing)
Armor:0(Heavy)
Prerequisites: Ancient of Wind; Barracks
Hippogryph Riders are expensive air units that can attack both, air and
ground units. They are weaker then most other air units and are not very
efficent, therfore I wouldn't recommending building these en masse.
Chimaeras are excellent units that are probably the most feared in the
game. It is understandable why they are feared. Although they can only
attack ground units, they do so much damage that they can destroy tier
melee and casters. The only hope you have of kiling these off is if you
go with ranged units. The amount of HP they have is also respectable, and
therfore they are very good in base assualts, and just to have in
general.
Glaive Throwers are the siege unit, and a very good one at that. With the
upgrade
they can do do damage to buildings and units directly behind the one
being shot. I would, ony use these on a base assualt or if your opponent is
turtling.
This is the building units of Naga units. It is essential for your survival
and as usual, is the weakest unit in your Naga arsenal. They can mine both,
gold and lumber and are pretty cool looking too. Poor slaves. They have the
ability to repair damaged buildings and thats pretty much it.
Reavers are the weak basic units of the Naga. They only take 2 supply, but
the small amount of life is just not worth the build except to scout or
soething. Your better off with Myrmadons anyways. They are melee units,
By the way.
These are gigantic tanks of the Naga's army. They have a load of HP and
armor. and with ensnare they can become partially effectve against air
units as well. Really though, there is not much to say about them.
Ensnare
Use this against air units to take them to the ground. It is non dispellable,
so you shouls find a lot of use to it. Also, it comes in handy against magic
immune air because Sirens are magic only.
Dragon turtles should be build sparingly. They take up five supply
and that is not too good. Being capable seige units, they can be great,
but it is ussually not worth the expense. Use their abilities wisely.
Devour
Eats a land unit and digests it overtime in his stomache. Do not have
the Dragon Turtle killed during this or the digesting unit will return.
Use this on the tier three melee to soften them up.
Spiked Shell
Although I'm not exactly sure what this does, I believe it is like thorns
and makes some damage go to the enemy.
Hardened Skin
Makes the Dragon Turtle more resistant to physical attacks.
Naga Sirens are units you will want to build because of their great spells
They also have a magical attack that does almost nothing, so keep them at
the rear.
Parasite
This is casted on enemy units and makes it so when they die, Naga
Parasites explose out of the unit and continue to attack the enemy. This
is a cool ability and should generally be use as much as possible.
Frost Armor
This spell is highly useful not only for the +3 armor boost, but also
because anyone who attacks any of your units with this spell on them
will become slower due to the cold. Autcast this after a few parasites.
Cyclone
This is the spell for taking out those large heavy units to kill for later.
Use this when the battle starts to important units then after most of the
fighting dies down, kick the crap out of these cycloned units. Works to catch
upoo to heros and surround them too.

7.1 - NIGHT ELF CAMPAIGN: Terror of the Tides
7.1.1: Chapter 1: Rise of the Naga
----------------------------------
QUESTS:
Main:
- The Demon's Trail
- Burning Ships
Optional:
- Search and Rescue
- Enraged Beast
After watching the cinematic sequence you will be put in an in game movie.
You will soon grow quite accustommed to these movies because there are a
lot of them. Anyways, in this campaign you have access to the Warden, the
new Night Elf Hero and she proves to be a useful hero that will help you
in many situations. You start with a few Huntresses and Archers as well.
Bring them all up the path to follow Illidan's trail. Your job is to
catch him because he razed a large Night Elf settlement and for other
reasons not yet know. In his demonform he has appeared to go crazy.
Go through the damaged gate to the north and you will hear Maiev, the
Warden, talk to her right hand women, Naisha about the deaths. Naisha
is not a hero but a Huntress with raised stats. She has more armor and
deals more damage. Continue North and you will be atacked by a few level
one merlocks. This is the time to check out the Warden's spells, mainly
fan of knives. You will easily dispatch of them.
Now follow the footprints to the left gate and another cinematic scene
will pop up showing that the Ferbolgs have gaon absolutely mad. Dispose
of all of the Furbolgs. After you do so, arrange your units in a team that
consists of THe Warden and the huntresses in team one, and the archers in
team two. Always move team one before team two so the archers can
effectively shoot the enemy while the melee crowd does some damage as well.
When you continue down the path, you will be ambushed by a few Satyrs and
wil have to dispose of them as they are in league with Illidan. Again, this
is an easy battle if you use the Warden's spells at your disposal.
Continue to find more Night Elf fighters: A dryad, huntress, and a few
archers. The cinema scen will play and will show their party being attacked.
A new optional quest will be to hunt these wildkin attackers down and kill
them.
Right when you go East down the path you will coincedentally run into the
Wildkin and two of it's followers. They serve to be quite a fight, but you
should come through in the end. (Enraged Beast Complete) Now you go back
to the place where you met your additional Night Elf fighters and head
upwards to yet another cinema scene. Here you will find out the The Naga
did the destruction to the Night Elf city. You will end up fighting them.
After a small brawl with the Naga, head slightly up the beack to the west
following the footprints. You will fight several smaller enemies and then
find yourself at a fountain of health. You better rest here because you will
have to fight a small party of Naga above you and then more creeps above them.
After you fight a few battles you will find yourself going back to the west
again. Here you will find a bunch of imprisoned Night Elves that are in
need of saving. Kill all of the Satyrs and Destroy the gates to do so.
(Search and Rescue Complete)
Now head to the right and destory the demonic gate. Upon doing so you
will see Illidan escape into a ship and The Naga try to destory the
ships you must follow him in. This is a problem. You will end up having to
kill The Naga and save two ships.
To do so, kill the Naga right near you and then focus on the ones
trying to beat down on the closest ship. After that destroy the two
flying Naga units. After you do that, you have probably already won.
Just go down the beach and finish off the rest of the Naga race.
( The Demon's Trail and Burning Ships Complete)
Victory
7.1.2: Chapter 2: the Broken Isles
---------------------------
QUESTS:
Main:
- Locate Illidan
- Destroy Illidan's Guard
Optional:
- Rid Gul'Dan of the Graves
This is the first mission you will be getting to build a base in.
Luckily, you start with a load of resources and enough workers
getting gold and lumber so you have no base building to do. At the
Ancient of Wonders you should purchase two healing potions to ensure
that Maiev stays in good health.
You have access to the ancient of Lore as well so suggest you build
one ASAP in order to crank out Dryads and Druid of the Claw. (DotC)
The only thing you have to do in this mission is get to 100 supply
and then crank out two DotC and get the rest of the supply in
Huntresses and Dryads. Put the Warden and the Huntresses on team one
and the DotC and the Dryads on group two. Whenever you get in a
battle cast Roar from the DotCs and then fight.
I suggest y ou also build about six Ancient Protectors to the left
side of your base for protectoin against the random Naga squads that
will come in your base to harass you every once in a while. Also build
a few above your base as well.
When you bring your units exploring you will find Gul'Dan, the ancient
Orcish shaman, at a camp. Talk to him and you will get a quest that
requires you to rid the land of the tombs slightly above you base, Take
all your units there via ships. This is very very easy to achieve,
just attack the crypts then go for the undead and you will take
care of them. Replace any units you may have lost.(Rid Gul'Dan of the
Graves Complete) You get a nifty new item here too.
After you get a whole army up consisting of those units you will need
about three ships to transport you across
to the other islands. Buy them and then bring them to the island at the
top This will get you into the Naga base. You wil have to finish off
the base by the Roar and fight method I described earlier. Als, be sure
to get their defensive towers as well because they are deadly. Bringing
along a seige weapon here is not a bad idea. (Locate Illidan Complete)
Upon destorying their base up top, you will be challanged by Illidan to
fight off his gaurd. If you have a good amount of units left go for it
because it is not too too hard, but you may want to replace them anyways.
After you dispatch of the Naga near the temple, you win the mission.
(Destroy Illidan's Guard Complete)
Victory
7.1.3: Chapter 3: The Tomb of Sergaras
--------------------------------------
QUESTS
Main:
- The Search for Illidan
-
Optional:
- Find the Shadow Orb
- Barriers
Well here we ares starting another indoors level with no base and only a
handful of units. At the start you can either go up or right. I suggest
you go up for expirience and a few knew items, but if you don't want to
you really dont have to.
When you go right, se Blink to get to the items just above you. Heh
that is a very useful ability as you will see. Head downwards and take
out the two overlords then go through the door.
From the Demonic gate, go left to get a manual of health and then
continue downwards further into the tomb.
In the room below there is a large statue and some fel-stalkers you must
take down. These should serve as easy enemies and you can continue
quickly. Keep on the path and you will come across a square shaped
switch that is glowing blue. Step on it to open a door to the south.
Go through the door and kill the slug-type enemies and you can blink
across the two pits to fins a piece of a shadow orb. If you get all of
the pieces you will be able to get a whole shadow orb. This is optional.
Go back to the switch and then up. Kill the enemies on the bridge and
prepare for a cinema reinacting Gul'Dan's tromp through the temple. Now
go further up and kill the pitiful merlocks.
Go up and fight tons of Hydras and then turn right. You will need to
blink across the gapo and hit the switch to let your team across. After
that take a route down and go right. You will come across a cinematic of
lady Naga who will taunt you. She reveals that the Naga were once Night
Elves.
By now your current team will probably fall against the Naga threat so
run to the right with everyone and through the gate in order to
get reinforcments.
Now head down and right and keep following the extremely-one-way path to
the cinema scene.
The last step of this level is to escape before time runs out. To do so
it is simple. Run as fast as you can and check the mini-map for the
entrance every once in awhile. Blink past enemies when you cross them.
This should give you a sigificant amount of time to win.
Victory
7.1.4: Chapter 4: Wrath of the Betrayer
---------------------------------------
QUESTS:
Main:
- The Runner's Transport
- Escape to Sea
Optional:
- Naga Excavators
This level's main goal is to get the runner to the upper left corner of
the map and oing so can be quite challanging.
You have two things going on for you right at the start: A small band of
Night Elf warriors and a Night Elf base to the right of them. This is all
that you get thorughout this mission which you will find to be quite
significant.
Keep the archers in the back of your party and turn the DotCs into bears
and keep them, along with the Warden in front. Place the runner in the
center and continue.
Go south and curve to the left killing any Naga on the way. You will find
plenty of Naga to keep you busy. When you find yourself at an intersection
that you can go up or down on, continue upwards and turn left then down
again.
At the end of this path you will find a few hippogryph riders and
transport ships. These ships are essential to get the runner across the
water, while the air units are bonus.
On the way to these ships you will find yourself killing a few Naga units
but nothing to worry yourself about. Once you get these ships, you will
complete a quest. (The Runner's Transport completed)
Go back to the intersection and go down. Bring your ships down as well.
Now we are just trying to get the runner in the clear. Now all you must
do is work your way around, transporting when nesacarry and walking when
you need to. Be sure to keep tose hippos rejuvinated because they will be
a valuable asset.
You might need to utilize both ships in the rare event that one dies.
If you find yourself stuck, remember the Warden's Blink ability. Be sure
to destroy the gates in the way of the ship's disembark.
I suggest that you ficus on the gate and ignore everything else with your
units then run your ship up. It should make it.
As for your base, just build enough to defend yourself. It is only needed
for flying units.
Victory
7.1.5: Chapter 5: Balancing the Scales
--------------------------------------
QUESTS:
Main:
- Maiev's Distress
- Destory Bases
Optional
- Reinforcments
At the start, you Maeiv and her base and you have Malfurion and Tyrande
as well. Malfurion and Tyrande are separeted frm your main base and you
need to help them get to Maiev's base in order to help her.
With Malfurions' force, go left and then up, killing the Naga to the
north. After that you will view a short cinematic sequence and continue.
You get a new optional quest as well.
Go right and destory the giant behemoths by using a starfall/tranquility
combination. After that go down and destroy some slightly fewer giants
and kill the two armored knight things as well.
You will want to get the reinforcments in the boats because they will
help you out in this mission. The first ones are below the giant stone
knights, but beware of the skelatal orcs that will be gaurding them.
After that ignore the Naga base and head upward to get the second ship
full of reinforcements. Now the last reinforcements are farther east and
father south.
With these reinforcments, and a few more archers and druids form Maeiv's
base should be enough to destory the threats.
Victory
7.1.6: Chapter 6: Shards of the Alliance
----------------------------------------
QUESTS
Main
- Escort Kael'thas and his caravan.
Optional
- Hidden Stashes
I find this mission to be one of the more enjoyable ones in the Night Elf
campaign. I have no idea why because ussually I think defensive missions
are a pain, maybe it is because it is not really defensive, yet not
really offensive. I digress.
You start the game Meeting Prince Kael'Thas and he is in need of help
to get his supplies across the river to the east.
You will obviously jelp him and his little party get there through means
of escorting the Supply wagons to the river's edge.
The ony threat to this wagon are the Undead attacks. That will constantly
batter the supplies. First go south and destroy the 8-10 ghouls that will
attempt to do you in. They will fall fast because of your mountain giants
and nice and strong forces.
Now go farther south and you will find a largeer group of ghouls, necro-
mancers, a few abominations, and two-three meat wagons as well. This
seems like nothing to laugh about, but it will be manageable because
they don't come all at once.
This is also a great time to point out that every once in a while
a small undead strike force will try to maim your supplies from the rear
you are just going to have to learn to deal with that.
Now continue down and right. Dealing with the undead forces on the way.
This is basically how the mission plays out. Nothing too special until
you get to a intersection that you will eventually get to if you follow
the path correctly.
You have a choice of whether to go northward...the longer route, but the
safer one. Or to the east...the shorter yet more dangerous way.
Taking the longer route was the way I went and it got me there fine with
little action on the way.
If you choose to go thorough the undead "bastion" you could kill a few
units while making your way to the end. You have to decide what the right
ratio of killing/running is. It's your choice.
You also have an optional quest where you can get money to get
mercinaries. I daresay that this is not required, but if you choose
to do it, just follow the points on the map to where they are.
Victory
7.1.7: Chapter 7: The Ruins of Dalaran
--------------------------------------
QUESTS
Main
-Spell of Destruction
Optional
-Paladins
Although this mission is timed, and seems intimidating, I think it is a
very easy mission with a very clear goal and a simple way to win.
When you start out the level you have a very large army consisting of
Your Heros, Mountain Giants, Bears, Archers and Hunts. This army is large
enough for you to build a few more units and attack the enmy base to the
left!
If you go slow in attack ing the base and put the melee up in the front
and the ranged in back, you should be able to take out most of the base
without a probelm. Seriously it's as simple as that.
Taking out the spell is another matter.
Since, with your starting units, you took out large portion of the base,
it sould be easy to get into where the spell is being made to attempt
to take it out.
What I did was I built as many fairie dragons as I could, and at least
12 bears and your heros into that too.
Now bring all of those units up into there base where you destroyed
and then rush everyone in and right when the dragons get above the spell
use the skill mana flare and you will take out the casters very easily
because they will be damaged whenever they use a magical skill.
The bears are there just to get fire away from the dragons. Right when
you get to the spot where the wizards are casting the spell use the
Mana flare and you will beat the mission very effectively.
As for the Paladin side-quest, it is not nessacary.
Victory
7.1.8: Chapter 8: The Brothers Stormrage
----------------------------------------
QUESTS
Main
-Tyrande's Rescue
Optional
-Dam Trolls
This level is very fun, yet seems very hard at the beginning. I assure
you that the lavel is easy. At first, you should use the small party
Illidan has and take them down and kill the Trolls. After that, ignore
all of the sleeping creeps above you when you take the path to the right.
Goi down and kill every creep within that area. With Illidan's
metamorphisis, it should be no problem.
Now you have to kill the undead base closest to Tyrande. Before you do so
you should realize that all of the Night Elf forces are on the other side
of the river and you will be unable to get to them with the Night Elves.
This means that it is the Naga forces alone that you must commandeer to
destory the undead bases.
In the Night Elf base build a large amount of archers and bears. This
will allow you to defend the base rather easily because this base will
have to survive as well as the Naga one.
NOw that the NE base is defended, you should focus on destroying the
upper Undead base, as well as the one next to Tyrande. To do so
build a ton of Sirens for support and magical spells and build lots of
Mermidons to be your main attackers.
The first undead base you attack, being the one above the one you must
destroy, is the easiest one.
With the Naga forces I just told you to build, you should not have a
problem with the first base.
The base closest to Tyrande actually might need some strategy to destroy.
I suggest you aut-cast frost shield and then after all of your wariors
are shieled, to auto-cast parasite and cyclone larger units such as
abominations. While doing that use ensnare on the UD air units and attack
them. If you do that the UD base still might not be destoryed.
If that is the case build more units consisting of the same thing you
just built. You should have no problem with your second run.
Q: Are there new Heros and units in The Frozen Throne?
A: Of course, do you think Blizzard would release an expansion without
any new aspects of the game? There is also a new campaign mode as well.
Q: Can you build transport ships in The Frozen Throne?
A: In single player campaigns, you do get access to transport ships, but
you cannot buy them in custom games/skirmishes.
Q: What other things are there in TFT that were not in ROC?
A: There are neutral heros, more items, item shop for every race, and
more multiplayer maps.
Q: I heard that a new race, The Naga will be playable in TFT. Is that
true?
A: Yep. You can only play as them in camapaign mode however.
