![[Updated Aug 15] Keep Enemies at Bay with Dryad in Season 8](http://bnetcmsus-a.akamaihd.net/cms/blog_header/2y/2YJ1T5134JEH1723238051877.png)
[Updated August 15]
Dryad will not be available in the guild WarChest in Season 8.
Don't underestimate this nimble little acorn, Dryad is Warcraft Rumble’s newest Cenarion Troop. As one of the children of the forest, Dryad prefers peace but wont hesitate to use her agile ranged attack to poison and ensnare foes, keeping enemies at bay.
Dryad won't be available in the G.R.I.D until Season 9, but don't worry; you can add it to your collection of Minis through the guild WarChest, PvP or three Store offers—one at season start, one mid-season, and another at the end of the season.
- Name: Dryad
- Family: Cenarion
- Deploy Cost: 4 Gold
- Health: 370
- Damage: 175
- Damage Type: Physical with 1 stack of Poison (Elemental) per hit.
- Root Duration: 2 seconds
- Traits: Attack Root, Poisonous, Fast
Attack
- Javelin: A single-target ranged attack. Dryad throws her spear forward, damaging the enemy, Rooting them, and applying Poison.
Talents
Dryad will be excellent against big single targets, such as tanks. She can be deployed after a push has already formed, her Fast movement speed will enable her to catch up to the group.
Although she can hit Flying enemies, her Root won't apply, making her slightly more effective at countering ground-based enemies.
Scholomance
The keep which was once a sight to behold, fell to ruin duing the Second War. Now deep beneath the ruined keep of Caer Darrow, within a labyrinth of crypts lay Scholomance. A frightening dungeon full of twisting shadows, dark magic and necromancy.
G.R.I.D Overrides
G.R.I.D overrides are a new feature that give more control over the G.R.I.D, allowing Mini rarity and XP to be changed before purchase.
Types of Overrides- Rare-O-Matic
- Tinker's Gem
The Rare-O-Matic or ROM for short can be placed in any open spot in the G.R.I.D and will override Mini quality in the same row or column, changing it to Rare. The Gold cost of the Mini will also change to match the new rarity.
A Tinker's Gem can be placed in any open spot in the G.R.I.D to grant additional bonus XP to Minis in the same row or column when purchased. This can be used in combination with the already existing XP bonuses found naturally in the G.R.I.D.
Overrides are consumed once a Mini is purchased from the G.R.I.D. Only one type of override can be used at a time.
New Emotes
The Goblin Giggle emote will be available in the guild WarChest and the Stinky Meat Wagon emote is earnable through PvP at 12,000 Honor.
Season Schedule
We've added some new combinations to Arclight Surge that include Cenarion Leaders and Sylvanas. We will be updating these again in Season 9 with additional not telling combinations...and a touch of nature's influence.
