🪓 Thunk guide: Orc cards, heroes and builds

Thunk is the Orc dealer in Arcane Rush. This page covers how Thunk wins, its 2 play styles and all 112 cards across its 20 families, plus 38 heroes and 4 relics. The planner above builds the best Thunk loadout from the cards you own.

How Thunk wins

The engine

Orcs win by snowballing attack triggers. Buff the whole board, force extra attacks, and convert deaths into Avenge payoffs so each swing makes the next one bigger. Rage keeps attackers alive (HP can't drop below 1 while attacking), and Overwhelm spills excess damage onward.

The game plan

Hand out Rage + Multistrike early (Uruk Captain), let Tyrranical Tul'Rag pump the board +12/+4 on every Orc attack, stack Chillin' Orclops (+5/+3 per Attack/Slay trigger), and close with self-scaling attackers like Raging Axer.

Positioning
  • Go wide — fill all 6 slots. Most-units-on-board attacks first, and your per-Orc buffs (Tyrranical Tul'Rag, Grimsnout) scale with a full board.
  • Put board-wide 'on any Orc attack' engines in slots 1–2 so their buff lands before the rest of your line swings this turn.
  • Place Avenge attackers (Twinfang Alpha) in the back / later slots — allied deaths pile up first, maxing the Avenge count before they fire.
  • Front row: Rage and Taunt bodies. Rage keeps them at 1 HP while attacking, so they trade up and shield the back.
