#Hearthstone battlegrounds Patch

You can check the official patch notes for all the upcoming changes to Battlegrounds.Hearthstone Battlegrounds Season 4 is now live, and it promises to stir up the game like never before with an overhaul to the minion roster, keyword changes, and more. But 5 current minions - Champion of Y’Shaarj, Deadly Spore, Amalgadon, Seafood Slinger, and Captain Flat Tusk - are leaving the pool. In addition to the new Naga minions, we’re getting 5 new minions of other types, and 2 old minions will return. Other minion changes include additions and removals Those heroes have dominated the meta a few times in past opportunities, and it wouldn’t be surprising at all if Azshara comes out strong. From previous experiences with heroes that can easily generate other minions of the same type, this is a potentially strong hero power. In her Naga form, Queen Azshara has a 1-cost Hero Power that lets her Discover a Naga. However, once you accrue a total of 30 Attack across all your minions, she turns into her Naga visage. She starts the game in her Highborn Night Elf form, with no actual Hero Power. Queen Azshara is a “transformation” hero, like a few others before her, such as Ragnaros or Aranna Starseeker.

Queen Azshara is a new Hero set to conquer the Battlegrounds with her Naga servants They should have double the effect of their regular versions, which is in line with how everything about golden minions already works. Pun fully intended.įinally, when you get a golden version of a Spellcraft minion, the spell they generate will be more powerful as well.

These spells also have some sort of “full hand protection.” If your hand is full at the time when you would have generated a new spell from a Spellcraft effect, the game will wait until you make room, and try to give you the spell again, until you finally get it. So no accumulating should be possible: you need to use all of the ones you generate on each turn. However, these spells are ephemeral in nature - if you don’t use them on the turn that you get them, you lose them. Minions with the new Spellcraft keyword add a spell card to your hand when they’re summoned, and they repeat that at the start of every new Recruit phase - which means that they provide you with at least one spell to play immediately, and one more every turn they remain in your warband. The new Spellcraft keyword ensures that you’ll keep… crafting spells You may take a look at all of the Naga minions that have been revealed at the official blog. “But wait,” you’re surely asking, “that still seems very limited, since there aren’t many spells at all in Battlegrounds.” Well, that is about to change, because Naga will bring many spells of their own with the new Spellcraft keyword.

Many of these Naga get special effects once you cast spells from your hand - and by “spells,” they also mean things like Coins, Blood Gems, and the rewards from Triple minions. Just like with their Constructed counterparts, the Naga in Battlegrounds will be completely synergetic with spellcasting. Luckily, if you’re excited to try them out, they’ll be appearing in every lobby for the first two weeks after the patch goes live. There are a total of 16 brand-new minions of the Naga type. There’s quite a lot to unpack with this major patch, so let’s cut to the chase.Ī new minion type, Naga, makes playing non-minion cards more important than ever Not only are we getting a brand-new minion type - which means several brand-new minions, and a few other changes - we’re also getting the new Spellcraft keyword. Prepare yourself to face the coming tides, for the Naga are finally arriving in Hearthstone Battlegrounds today, May 10, bringing many spells with them.
