-
New Heroes and Minions: Three brand-new heroes join the fray, with Farseer Nobundo already generating considerable buzz. Nearly 90 minions and Tavern spells are either entering or leaving the pool, ensuring a dynamic meta.
-
Solo Battlegrounds Damage Cap Adjustment: A new damage cap is implemented in solo games only: 5 damage early game, increasing to 10 on turn 4 and 15 on turn 8. The cap is removed once you reach the top 4.
-
Phased Minion Release: The patch launches with Beasts, Dragons, Quilboar, Pirates, Naga, and Mechs on December 3rd. Murlocs and Demons arrive on December 5th, followed by Undead and Elementals on December 9th.
