Hearthstone Battlegrounds Season 8: A Fresh Take on the Arena

Season 8 of Hearthstone Battlegrounds is here, bringing a wave of exciting new content! Expect new heroes, minions, cards, and game-changing mechanics that will shake up your strategies. Let's dive into the details.

Trinkets: The New Power-Ups

The biggest addition is Trinkets – powerful new buffs available on turns 6 and 9. With 56 Lesser and 60 Greater Trinkets, and the possibility of duplicates, there's a vast array of strategic options influencing your hero and board state. Whether you're playing Elementals, Dragons, or Murlocs, you'll find Trinkets to synergize with your strategy.

Meet Marin the Manager: The Newest Hero

Marin the Manager joins the fray, offering a significant advantage: access to a Trinket one turn earlier than other heroes. This gives Marin a head start in optimizing his board and securing victory.

Minions: A Roster Refresh

Season 8 sees a rotation of minions. While 41 minions are leaving the game, 22 fan favorites return, joined by 27 brand-new minions and 2 exciting Tavern spells. This ensures a fresh and dynamic meta.

New Cards to Collect

Four new cards add even more depth to gameplay:

  • Free Travel Winner (Tier 2): A 2/2 minion that disappears after combat, rewarding you with a Triple.
  • Inspiring Underdog (Tier 4): Strengthens your lower-tier minions.
  • Lucky Egg (Tier 5): Transforms a Tier 3 minion into a Golden minion.
  • Sun Screener (Tier 6): A 10/1 minion granting Divine Shield to your three leftmost minions and your opponent's.

Marin Resort's Treasure Hunt Event

From August 27th to September 17th, participate in the Marin Resort's Treasure Hunt event. Complete event quests to earn a total of 14 packs, including those from the Perils in Paradise and Whizbang's Workshop expansions.
