War Campaign followers

The following is a list of and information about followers in Battle for Azeroth. The followers can be accessed via the Missions report button and the Mission Command Table on your War Campaign Ship. Thematically, they are well-known characters.

Like in the Legion version, Battle for Azeroth's followers are divided into champions and troops.

Champion[]

Champions, also referred to as War Champions, are unlocked during your War Campaign questlines, in a total of 6 per faction. Only five can be active at a time. Each champion has a specialization, abilities, and Equipment Slots.

Champions start at level 120 and uncommon quality and gain experience for better quality by gaining experience from missions. Achieving rare, epic, and legendary quality unlocks abilities and equipment slots, respectively.

Unlike Legion, item level cannot be increased.

Troops and upgrades[]

Troops are additional support followers that can be assigned on missions alongside Champions. They are recruited by placing work orders with recruiters on your War Campaign Ship. The number of maximum troops is 6. What type is obtained is normally chosen randomly. They are important for counters.

Unlike Legion which had the troops divided based on the Class Order, these troops are thematically soldiers of the Alliance and Horde and come from various members of said factions.

After participating in a mission and losing a vitality point, they gain an ability that increases success chance.

Tier 2 of the War Effort Advancements offers upgrade to troops.

Since patch 8.3.0, the following items allow you to choose the type of troops:
