Despite all the noise in other areas, Blizzard Entertainment has now released the new add-on “United in Stormwind” for the Hearthstone trading card game.
Although cult developer Blizzard Entertainment is getting haywire because of allegations of sexual harassment in the workplace, the new Hearthstone add-on called “United in Stormwind” has now been released as planned and previously announced. The extension is now live.
What can you expect from it? As part of the Year of the Griffin, you can let off steam with 135 new cards and breathe new life into the capital of the Alliance. The set also brings a new keyword, new game mechanics and also a new inn pass. In the coming weeks, the new chapter will be in the Book of Heroes, Book of Mercenaries, and more.
The most important innovations in the context of the add-on according to official information:
New keywords
- Questreihen: Each class has its own quest line, a three-part quest that explores the exciting adventures of Hearthstone’s new mercenaries. When all three quests are completed, there is a legendary mercenary reward, whose battle cry may decide the game.
- Tradable: Cards with this new keyword are particularly flexible – they are very strong in certain situations and when they are not needed you can send them back into the deck for one mana and draw another card.
New mechanics
- Mounts: The fastest way to get through the capital is on a mount, as all adventurers agree. Mount spells grant servants a special effect: if the rider is defeated, his mount is summoned and has the same stats and effects that were originally given to the rider.
- Professional tools: If a tool is needed instead of a weapon, we have just the thing. You can’t attack with it, but with the special effects, players can prove that they are true masters of their craft.
Gasthaus-Pass
- The new Inn Pass includes access to a bunch of rewards, including 12 new hero skins, the alternate paladin heroine Yrel, the Varian diamond card, King Stormwind, as well as the new Stormwind cosmetic coin, the non-craftable golden legendary card Dungar, the new Stormwind card, and XP Boosts.
