The Undead faction in Warcraft 3 Reforged comprises Ghouls, Fiends, Statues, and Banshees. They rely on powers that possess a unit and corrupt them while doing poison damage.
In this undead build order guide, we will outline the strategy for using undead units against enemies to secure fast and effective victory in Warcraft 3.
1. Undead Beginner
When the game starts, send all three acolytes to the gold mine and train the next acolyte right away. The ghoul will begin collecting wood and take one acolyte from the mine to summon a crypt and graveyard close to the woods.
Once the buildings are summoned, send the acolyte back to the goldmine to collect gold. Now, train another acolyte while the ghoul chops wood and other acolytes collect gold.
2. Altar of Darkness and Zigurrat
When you have 185 gold, build the Altar of Darkness, and when you have 155 gold, summon your first Zigurrat close to the goldmine.
These Zigurrats can be upgraded to protect your base as a tower if required.
3. Train Second Ghoul
Start training your second ghoul at this point to speed up the wood chopping.
4. Tomb of Relics
When the summonings end, get Tomb of Relics from the in-base shop. This shop will allow you to purchase Rod of Necromancy and Orb of Corruption in the late game.
5. Summon Crypt Fiend and Death Knight
When the Zigurrat is complete, summon your first crypt Fiend and hero, Death Knight.
6. Learning Spells
The first spell you must pick is Death Coil, as it will either be used to damage enemy units or heal one of your undead units. The second spell you need is the Unholy Aura.
7. Second Zigurrat
When you have 150 gold, build the second Zigurrat and train the second Crypt Fiend.
8. Rod of Necromancy
Once the Death Knight comes out of the Altar of Darkness, get a Rod of Necromancy from the shop and summon two skeletons from the graveyard. This is when you need to go creep with your army, but make sure to set the crypt waypoint on your hero so all the units will be directly sent to where the army is.
This is when you need to train your third Fiend, upgrade Tech to Tier 2, and build another Zigurrat. It is recommended that one of the Zigurrat be upgraded to Nerubian Tower. Train another ghoul and purchase another Rod of Necromancy if required.
Summon more skeletons and send them to regular scouting in the goldmines close to the enemy base to make sure they are not expanding. If the enemy army expands, you will be more likely to lose.
9. Train More Units and Get Resources
With the army expanding, you will need another Vigurrat to get more food. Train your fourth Crypt Fiend and Ghoul. As you reach tier 2, train your second hero, the Lich. Give Lich all the damage items from Death Knight if you found any from the creep.
10. Learn Spells for Lich
The first spell you should learn for the Lich is Frost Nova to blast enemies with frost waves and slow their movement and attack rate. For the second spell, go for Learn Frost Armor to create shield of frost around friendly unit.
11. Build More
Tier 2 will allow you to build more resources like Slaughterhouse and Temple. Upgrade the Tech to Tier 3 as soon as you can and get a third Rod of Necromancy to continue creeping.
12. Train Statue and Banshee
As soon as the Slaughterhouse and Temple are completed, you can start training one obsidian statue and one banshee in the Undead Build Order in Warcraft 3.
Note that you will need another Zigurrat to get more food and continue army production. This is when you need to train your second Statue and Banshee. If you think the enemy will surprise you with air units, use the Research Web to upgrade the Crypt in order to enable your Fiends to destroy the air units.
13. Tech Tier 3
When you reach tier 3, and purchase the Orb of Corruption from the shop. This is when you need to choose a third hero of your choice; you can either get one from the altar or head to the tavern and choose.
If you feel the battle takes too long to complete, build Abominations in the slaughterhouse.
