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.
