Suddenly, Hearthstone received a whole bunch of new cards that are now in the Battlegrounds mode. Here we show you all of them.
Since its introduction at BlizzCon 2019, the “Battlegrounds” mode of Hearthstone has become quite popular. Inspired by “auto-battlers” like Dota Underlords or Teamfight Tactics, battles here happen in an automated way, and players only need to arrange and upgrade their minions accordingly. Last night (26.02.2019) there was a new update that brought 18 fresh minions into this mode. New heroes were also introduced.
Recently, there were also 35 new cards in the Hearthstone adventure.
18 new minions and 7 new heroes in Hearthstone Battlegrounds
These are the 18 new cards: A total of 18 new minions can be deployed in Battlegrounds. Among them is the new unit type “Dragon”, which allows for many new synergies. Demon fans can rejoice as well, because there is finally a rank-6 demon. Previously, there was a lack of a minion in this category.
These are the 7 new heroes: In addition to the minions, there are also 7 new heroes. Each comes with a hero ability that can significantly influence the outcome of matches. Among them are not only the major dragon aspects but also a somewhat scattered dragon named Renogos – this is the explorer Reno Jackson, who has actually turned out to be a dragon after a long fan theory from the players.
Keep in mind that all the featured cards and heroes only work in Battlegrounds mode. They are not available in other modes.
It seems that Blizzard intends to support this game mode for a long time and continuously provide it with new minions, types, and heroes. Those who enjoy this Hearthstone game mode will likely have fun with it for a long time to come.
What do you think of the new cards and heroes? Do they freshen up the Battlegrounds mode significantly?
