Life is generally grim for youngest children of Dwarven families. Dwarven inheritance and privilege pass only to the oldest children, with the younger ones left to fend for themselves in Dwarven society. In many cultures this may have led to intense rivalry, with siblings fighting against siblings, but that is not the Dwarven way.
Young Dwarves, with no chance of inheriting their family’s wealth, will take an axe and go seeking a glorious death in battle - it’s seen as preferable to a life of poverty, and if by a miracle one survives, then wealth and fame is theirs for the taking.
New Troop: Northrender
The northern tribesmen, or Northrenders as they prefer to be known, are a hardy race of folk who live near the coasts of Stormheim.
They are dour and taciturn, but also mighty warriors. Many folk believe there is more than a little Dwarven blood in their heritage.

I realize he is just an Ultra-Rare, but 18 mana and self sacrifice for 45 damage vs 24 mana for certain kill (even through barrier) and gain of stats on Maw seems … really weak. If it was True Damage, maybe.
Probably the same thing that happens when you kill off a Gloom Leaf with it’s 3rd trait that does enough thorns damage to kill your last troop (Never seen this however). I have to assume the attacker wins in both scenarios.
I suggest it’s the same as if your Berserker or thrall die gloriously whilst killing the last enemy unit ( via their spells which also damage themselves). You are still counted victorious.
He seems like he would be more useful in Arena, if you keep him alive.
You have my sword. And you have my bow! And my Weekly Feedback Report!
Coming down from the north like a punk from the 80’s, we’re kicking off with the Dwarven Slayer!
With his instrument of destruction, this delinquent dwarf is readily bound to bash his cranium against his axe to smash your face! Possibly being one of the sickest deaths in Krystara history, a one-on-one against this kamikaze short-stack will end in a (brain) matter of seconds!
Our next warrior to take the stage is a coolheaded halfling with a unique approach. Northrender!
This brazen battler prefers helping his water-bound allies along with buffing himself. A cold strike will leave foes frozen while attempting the same against him will leave enemies in the cold. A true blue berserker at heart!
Speaking of blue this week’s leaderboards will be offering the Arcane Stoic Traitstone for the Ranked Rewards. So if that Winter Imp can’t wait any longer, what better time to make it snow than July?
If new horseman, Plague, still eludes you or you can’t afford to trait that costly beast, Moloch can be your budget stat remover! Of course the excitable Goblin Rocket can’t steer you wrong. Finally, Valkyrie can mend that shattered soul of Mythic proportions.
Ward off invaders with the Warden Class, or prep yourself for the oncoming season with the Autumnal Imp. And there’s no better way to worm out of danger than with the Rock Worm
I personally prefer sticking closer to the equator, ice cream is as cold as I can get.
Northrender is surprisingly good for a common. His spell can add a lot of attack, and his traits are all really good for a front troop as well. Since he also creates blue, I believe he’d work wonderfully in front of a Mab/Valk team.
Wait hold up he is a real troop?! I thought he was in there to pull our leg and make us less trusting of the spoilers we were presented. I don’t even know how to handle this now. I mean yes he went from 50 to 40 but that is still a one shot-one kill spell of opness.
