Threat Hero Notes
1
 Gazlowe Galz - Because you have extra damage vs merc/minions. A simple Q and misha AA and his turrets are gone.
2
 Kael'thas Kael - Similar to Jaina, easy to burst down with a stun. Keep Misha on him and avoid the fire on the ground.
2
 Abathur Abuthur - Not really an issue to play against. Kill the minions with Q. In team fights use Misha to block the hat.
2
 Chen Chen - Not a threat. Ensure you stun him when he is drinking.
2
 Lt. Morales Morales - Nothing to worry about, stun and kill.
3
 Jaina Jaina - Extremely easy to burst and stun down with a team behind you. She cannot do much vs Misha.
3
 Nova Nova - Keep your bear close, there is not much she can do. Same as Zeratul - At level 13 you have Wildfire Bear, she will take him out of stealth. And even better at level 17 when you get Feign death.
3
 Azmodan Az - His lack of mobility really hurts him. He is not a threat, minions are killed easily if required.
3
 Brightwing Brightwing - Stick Misha on and just laugh.
3
 Kharazim Kha - Do not let him auto atk Misha, it will allow him to regen. Other than that, not an issue.
3
 The Lost Vikings Vikings - similar to murky just annoying.
4
 Zeratul Zera - Play care until level 13. At level 13 you have Wildfire Bear, she will take him out of stealth. And even better at level 17 when you get Feign death.
4
 Arthas Arthas - Is not very mobile, however watch out for his W. he can also burst down Misha pretty quickly.
4
 Johanna Johanna - Not really any issue. Keep your distance and she is very little threat.
4
 Murky Murky - Is just a pain in the butt. Not your job to hunt eggs but if you happen to come across this in the jungle, you know what to do.
4
 Sonya Sonya - She is strong. Stun when she whirlwinds. Do not let Rexxar and misha close to her. A good Sonya player will not like to waste rage on Misha. So get her to hook onto Misha and she is ineffective.
4
 Stitches Stitches - not an issue, you'd be surprised how often misha blocks his hook.
4
 Tassadar Tassadar - Strong support since latest patch. Not a really threat.
4
 Thrall Thrall - Easy to kite and kill, use Misha to block at Stuns.
5
 E.T.C. ETC - Keep your distance. Get caught by his ulti and GG.
5
 Kerrigan Kerrigan - Do not get caught out. If she uses E, stun to avoid further damage.
5
 Muradin Muradin - He will bypass and jump straight on Rexxar. Keep Misha close.
5
 Nazeebo Nazeebo - Not much of a threat since the spiders nerf. Do not caught in zombie wall. You can use your Q or W to escape this (your extra minion damage works on zombie wall)
5
 Rehgar Rehgar - is very mobile and has good slows. Not much to say here, do not chase.
5
 Sylvanas Slyv - Does alot of seige damage but not overally threatening. Will not beat you in 1 v 1but will beat you in a lane push before level 7
5
 Uther Uther. Do not let him get close.
6
 Diablo Diablo - Early laning phase he can grab Misha and throw her to the tower. Keep Misha close and do not overextend. If he speaks in team stun at level 10 be careful. Prioritize Rexxar avoiding the stun.
6
 Illidan Illidan - Play care until level 16, after that you should be able to solo him without issues.
6
 Li Li LiLi - She is strong right now. Keep Misha on her after level 10, when she ultis with heal - stun.
6
 Tychus Tychus - Can be a real pain. Interrupt his Minigun with Misha's stun.
6
 Tyrael Tyreal - His ultimate charge is very effective engage. Keep your distance with Rexxar and do not get caught out.
7
 Anub'arak Anub - Is effective against you, as he is extremely mobile and will bypass Misha. Wait for him to jump on you then stun him.
7
 Sgt. Hammer SGT Hammer - Is very painful to deal with. Keep Misha on SGT where possible. Problem is a well positioned SGT will beat you every time. Stun and Q for the slow, you will need a team with you to deal with her.
7
 Tyrande Tyrande - She is extremely tough since the recent patch. Her heal Ulti is strong. Careful of the stun i has very good range after level 7. Her heal will out sustain Mishas.
7
 Zagara Zagara. Try to fight her off the creep. Her health regen is strong. You can kill her minions quickly as the game scales. At level 13 use Mishas wildfire to kill the creep.
8
 Raynor Raynor - If you can get your stun on him do so and run. You will not beat him in a duel.
8
 The Butcher Butcher - Wait for him to charge you. Then stun and kite. Do not fight alone.
8
 Falstad Fals - he can burst down pretty quickly. Make sure you stun him when he pops W.
8
 Malfurion Malf- Avoid the entangling roots. Keep Misha on him after level 10, when he ultis with heal - stun.
8
 Valla Valla. Will beat you in a duel. Be careful, she has insane burst if specced correctly. If she choses her aoe level 10 ability. It is easy to interupt.
9
 Leoric Leoric - He is extremely strong against you. You cannot lane vs Leoric. He will drain health from Misha. Just avoid him entirely. I would advise not picking Rexxar vs Leoric.

Top

I have been playing Heroes of the Storm since Alpha. I thoroughly enjoy playing the game and more so enjoy playing Rexxar. I am a bit of a lone wolf - I like specialists because I can solo Mercs, clear minion waves quickly and deal the most siege damage whilst dealing sustainable damage to enemy team. Although Rexxar is not a specialist I found Rexxar & Misha can perform this role particularly well if played and built correctly.

Why Rexxar

- Rexxar is the best Merc, jungle killer in the game.
- He can solo bosses at level 7 with ease.
- He can carry a very bad game, by taking objectives solo.
- Amazing wave clear with correct talents.
- Unique playstyle.
- Extremely strong on certain maps

Why not Rexxar

- Requires Mircomangement, can be difficult to master
- His chase and execution is lacking
- Relies on good positioning
- You have to keep an eye on Misha's location, ensure she is by your side when travelling
- Only viable with certain builds & certain maps
- Can be denied camps vs a good team.

Why is Rexxar good for solo queue?

With Rexxar I have won numerous games that seemed to be a dead loss. He is so effective at this because he can do any objective solo. Do not mistake though, you need to assist your team in teamfights and be there at crucial moments.

Strategy

Early game - Focus on staying in lane with your team does not require you. Farm until level 4 then you can hit 4 go Giants or focus on low end merc camps, clear these when it is safe to do so but preferably level 7 with bird of prey as it allows to clear very quickly.

Clear waves of minions when your Q is off cooldown after level 7 and ensure all lanes are pushed.

Although you can solo bosses at level 7 I recommend level 10 for a fast kill with Bestial Wrath.

The maps I have listed above are the maps Rexxar is strong and viable with this build.
