Revenge TCG art

Revenge is a Protection warrior talent. It is a high-damage melee attack that deals damage to all enemies in front of the warrior. Dodging or parrying an attack has a chance to cause the next Revenge to be free.

Tips and tactics

This ability is usually the best way to hold a mob's attention. [Devastate] is available on demand and can be spammed, and [Shield Slam] generates more threat per application, but smart tanking warriors use Revenge at almost every opportunity.

Trivia

• Revenge is a rare Warrior spell in the Blackrock Mountain adventure of Hearthstone. Two copies of the card are rewarded for defeating Razorgore the Untamed in the Blackwing Lair wing. The flavor text reads: "This is better than Arcane Explosion, so I guess warriors are finally getting revenge on mages for Mortal Strike being worse than Fireball."
