Hearthstone Update Delivers Battlegrounds Armor Changes, Duels and Quest Journal Fixes

The newest Hearthstone update introduces a series of changes and improvements, focusing on Battlegrounds Armor adjustments, Duels and Quest Journal fixes, and various game enhancements. These updates aim to provide players with a smoother and more balanced gameplay experience.

In the Battlegrounds, several heroes have received Armor adjustments. Heroes such as Ysera, Millificent Manastorm, Lord Jaraxxus, and George the Fallen have seen an increase in Armor, while others like Mutanus the Devourer, C’Thun, Ini Stormcoil, and Fungalmancer Flurgl now have reduced Armor values. These changes vary based on the player’s MMR (Matchmaking Rating). Furthermore, the Buddies Barov’s Apprentice, Karl the Lost, and Unearthed Underling have been removed from E.T.C., Band Manager’s Hero Power pool.

• Ysera now has 6 Armor, but Ysera still has 10 Armor at high MMR.

The update also addresses several bugs and game improvements. In Battlegrounds, issues with Sly Raptor’s Deathrattle, Greta Gold Gun, and general performance have been resolved. Duels players will no longer experience the bug where the From Golden Light Hero Power was resurrecting two minions instead of one.

Additionally, the update fixes a bug in the Shop related to the implementation of the Hong Kong Dollar (HKD), which left the shop closed for some players. The progression system has also seen improvements, with a bug fix that allows players to open the Quest Journal even if they have completed all Daily, Weekly, and Event Quests, as well as all Battlegrounds Missions.

These updates to Hearthstone demonstrate the ongoing commitment to enhancing the game and addressing player feedback. With these changes, players can expect a more refined and enjoyable gaming experience in both the Battlegrounds and Duels modes.
