| # | Camp | Bring | Notes | Hero after |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Forest Troll Berserker +2Lv 10 | — | Kill the tidewalker -> small troll -> big troll | Lv 1 · 164 xp |
| 2 | Mur'gul Snarecaster +3Lv 12 | — | Kill snarecaster first and make sure you pull this with your mirror image and let it get slowed. Move your BM closer to the snarecaster with move command so that it will be slowed next. After it casts slow on your real BM cast mirror image again and finish off the snarecaster. Kill healing murloc second and the melee murlocs last | Lv 2 · 341 xp |
| 3 | Murloc Nightcrawler +2Lv 7 | — | Pull the camp with headhunter and kill whichever murloc comes in first -> finish the rest | Lv 2 · 439 xp |
| 4 | Ogre Magi +4Lv 17 | — | Kill blue ogre and pick up consumable. Dont move grunt in range since the water elementals will retarget the grunt instead of your mirror image. BM + 2-3HHs easily kill the ogre. Grab the big consumable and run off. The water elementals are not worth the effort to pull out and kill | Lv 3 · 674 xp |

About this route
This route allows you to use your grunt to scout an opponent's expansion attempt while finishing off the ogre and grabbing the consumable. You are immediately free to roam the map to put pressure on the opponent via goblin shop access for circlet/boots and tavern for a cheeky naga or firelord if you wish to do so.
