These elder Tauren warriors lead their Tribes in daily life as well as in battle. Ceremoniously decked with the
ancient totems of their Tribes, Chiefs uphold the honor and simplicity of Tauren culture. When roused by
battle, the gigantic Chiefs employ enormous warblades which are capable of tearing through solid trees with
one mighty swipe. The Chiefs are fascinated by the Orcs, especially their young leader, Thrall. The Chiefs
see an opportunity to help the Orcs return to their traditional roots by providing a strong example of
honor and courage through all Tauren warriors.

The Tauren Chieftain (Marn) is useful for both War Stomp and the Endurance Aura. Due to the
Tauren Chieftain's large size many players have difficulty controlling him. They don't understand
how to use him correctly and fail to use him to his full potential. The key is to either keep Marn
away from the enemy, toward the rear of the battle, or to rush him straight into the middle of
the enemy then use War Stomp. Whenever he becomes "stuck" use War Stomp to clear some room. Top
players have excellent success with Marn.
War Stomp is a great ability. At its highest level War Stomp stuns for as long as 5 seconds and
does 75 damage. This can allow your other units to pick off defenseless units before they can
recover from the stun. Shockwave is also useful against lines of enemy units, including weak units
such as ranged units and spellcasters. It takes some skills to use it effectively and to the
maximum effect. The Endurance Aura is especially helpful to both Orcs and allied units. In large
team games the Endurance Aura can have a noticeable effect. Reincarnation is also useful to bring
the Tauren Chieftain back to life after he has died. This saves the cost of reviving him.
For point spending strategies players often pick War Stomp first followed by Endurance Aura. If
you're a Shockwave fan you can try Shockwave and Endurance Aura. A more rare combination can also
be used with Shock Wave and War Stomp although you're unlikely to have enough Mana for both.
The Tauren Chieftain's Endurance Aura can actually help Peons mine Gold more efficently, and harvest Lumber faster.

Reincarnation
Reincarnation can allow Marn to take a lot of damage and die on purpose because he can come back to
life again. It can also of course allow him to come back to life when he died by mistake too.
Reincarnation can save the cost of reviving the Hero. If the enemy has clearly won and is waiting
for Marn to Resurrect they may kill him again very quickly. When you come back the second time
and find yourself surrounded you may wish to use a Scroll of Teleport to get away since you cannot
resurrect again.
You only receive experience from killing the Tauren Chieftain if he does not use his Reincarnation ability.
