About this build

Full guidePit Lord Fast T3 Necro Wagon Push

Created by Nio of Ida (aka SilversGodot). This strategy combines the sustain and attrition of Necromancer Meat Wagons with the Pit Lord's Cleave. It is highly off-meta and likely not viable above 1600 MMR, but it is playable below that. Most feasible versus Human and Night Elf; the Orc matchup is playable but harder.

Intermediate: at lower levels micro is not the deciding factor, but good control of the army and hero are needed to climb.
