Reckless Rocketeer is a basic neutral minion.

How to get

Prior Year of the Gryphon's rotation on March 30, 2021:

  • Two copies of Reckless Rocketeer were automatically included in all players' collections upon unlocking the shaman class.
  • Two Golden copies of Reckless Rocketeer were a reward for raising a shaman to levels 59 and 60.

Strategy

Reckless Rocketeer is a powerful but vulnerable minion. Its 5 attack combined with Charge makes it perfect for dealing a quick burst of damage. However, its 2 Health means it will often be destroyed in its first strike if used against another minion. In this case, Reckless Rocketeer can be considered similar to a spell dealing 5 damage, although the Rocketeer is still restricted by Taunts.

Rocketeer is generally chosen to provide burst damage, perfect for closing a match before the opponent can rally. While usually destroyed shortly after being played, Rocketeer can therefore win games by providing an additional burst of damage to push the opponent over the edge. Where available, this card is often replaced by higher rarity equivalents such as LegacyLeeroy Jenkins or LegacyDoomguard for warlocks.

The Rocketeer can also be useful for removing large threats such as LegacyFire Elemental, for which purpose it can be a very handy albeit somewhat expensive card.
