For Hearthstone the release of a new hero is approaching. The Night Elf Tyrande enters the battlefield as a priestess.
The High Priestess of Elune also plays with cards
Blizzard is gradually trying to cater to the fans of Hearthstone who desire more diverse hero skins, as some cannot identify with a particular character. Garrosh, for instance, was not liked by many players, so shortly after, Magni was available as an alternative. A similar fate now awaits Anduin, who is also disliked by some players. In his place, a significantly older lady enters the field: The High Priestess of Elune, Tyrande Whisperwind, will soon be available as a priestess in Hearthstone.
How exactly to obtain Tyrande is still not known. Currently, the condition is only displayed as “Promotion”, but what exactly that means is still a mystery. Presumably, Blizzard will announce some overarching event in the coming days.
The dataminers have already been busy searching the game data and have done some test matches with Tyrande to filter out her animations and various quotes. In the following video, you can hear her English phrases:
Additionally, Tyrande has some emotes that no other hero has used yet. For example, she has a “Be Right Back” emote, which hints at a possible “BRB” emote. There are also several references to various events, such as the Hallow’s End or Brewfest. It is likely that this will coincide with some card chaos games.
