Battle for Azeroth

Historical context

Battle for Azeroth

Battle for Azeroth develops the faction conflict through Kul Tiras and Zandalar. Allied races and Azerite progression belong to specific unlock conditions and updates.

Game context

A race’s appearance in the story is not the same as its playable availability. Unlocks, faction membership and eligible classes need evidence from the selected historical period.

Character development

Class talent rows coexist with expansion-specific equipment progression. Azerite effects cannot be inserted into the class talent list as if they were ordinary choices from the same system.
