| 0s | hello everybody and welcome to the |
|---|---|
| 2s | second Dev talk for Battlegrounds season |
| 4s | four my name is Gio and I'm Mitchell and |
| 6s | today is launch day we've got six out of |
| 9s | our 10 minion types ready to roll beasts |
| 12s | dragons Elementals Undead murloc and |
| 14s | Naga Mitchell how did we do all this I I |
| 17s | don't |
| 18s | know but we've got a lot of mini types |
| 20s | to talk about so let's jump into it |
| 21s | right away with murlocs that's right |
| 23s | murlocs have been around since the very |
| 25s | beginning of Battlegrounds with a pretty |
| 27s | consistent identity of Battle Cry |
| 29s | cycling cards and also poisonous and |
| 31s | we've already talked about how we're |
| 33s | replacing the latter with venomous so |
| 35s | let's jump into what else murlocs are |
| 37s | doing now and that is the hand buff |
| 39s | space starting with upbeat flutist which |
| 42s | is one of those cards that goes off |
| 43s | every externs and in this case it will |
| 46s | give a random minion in your hand plus |
| 47s | nine Health yeah and it's not the only |
| 49s | way that you can buff your minions in |
| 51s | your hand but there's also scour fan |
| 52s | which on death rattle will give a random |
| 54s | minion in your hand plus five plus five |
| 55s | and this can work really well because |
| 57s | there's lots of ways you can get extra |
| 58s | Synergy you can use it with Titus Riven |
| 60s | air to double it up you can use macaw so |
| 63s | to be able to get extra triggers you can |
| 65s | also taunt it to reliably make sure that |
| 66s | it always dies that's right and one of |
| 68s | the best minions to buff is bream |
| 70s | counter because that's a minion that |
| 72s | also scales itself whenever you play a |
| 74s | murloc and that means it's great cross |
| 77s | Synergy between the Battle Cry icon and |
| 79s | the Hand buff comp and when your dream |
| 81s | counter gets very big in hand the best |
| 83s | thing to do with it is play base skill |
| 85s | yeah base skill is a way that you can |
| 86s | summon a Minion from your hand uh the |
| 88s | highest health minion in your hand for |
| 90s | just that combat only so you can use |
| 92s | that gigantic dream kill counter that |
| 94s | you've been building up all game and get |
| 95s | it into play but you can also use this |
| 97s | to essentially be access to an eighth |
| 99s | minion on your board getting tons of |
| 102s | swarms of minions is something that |
| 103s | murlocs are doing new as well as |
| 105s | operatic Belcher but we've already |
| 107s | mentioned that in a previous video so |
| 109s | let's put the spotlight on Coral burglar |
| 111s | which is going to gain the stats of all |
| 113s | the Minions in your hand at the start of |
| 115s | combat so if you've got a huge bream |
| 117s | counter in there it's also working |
| 118s | towards buffing your burglar we're also |
| 121s | making a couple changes to murlocs |
| 122s | existing minions the one I really want |
| 124s | to highlight though is Young murkai |
| 126s | previously it would just buff it would |
| 128s | trigger the Battle Cry of the murloc to |
| 130s | the left of this but now it is the |
| 132s | minion to the left of this which opens a |
| 133s | lot of new Synergy opportunities for any |
| 136s | other minion types that you normally |
| 138s | wouldn't be able to get multi triggers |
| 139s | out of speaking of other minion types |
| 141s | about time we moved on to Naga now which |
| 144s | have a very dynamic duo in zesty Shaker |
| 147s | and deep blue crooner yeah and actually |
| 149s | the best way to understand this one is |
| 150s | actually to see it in action so deep |
| 153s | blues uh is a new spell craft attached |
| 155s | to deep blue crooner uh and it will give |
| 158s | a Minion plus one plus one until next |
| 159s | combat but every time you play it your |
| 162s | future deep blues get better this |
| 163s | applies to all deep blues the ones |
| 165s | generated off of this minion the ones |
| 167s | you find in the future the ones off the |
| 169s | Golden they all will continue to scale |
| 171s | uh so the first one you play the gives |
| 173s | plus one plus one then it gives plus two |
| 174s | plus two then three three four four five |
| 177s | five twenty twenty it can scale to the |
| 179s | skies absolutely it's got great art and |
| 181s | a great voice line to match so very |
| 183s | excited to play with that one moving on |
| 185s | to beasts now we have an even bigger |
| 188s | Focus than before on summoning during |
| 190s | combat yeah so the star of the show here |
| 192s | is banana Slammer which will double the |
| 194s | stats of any Beast you summon in combat |
| 196s | so those little 2-2 rats are now coming |
| 198s | out as four fours are a little bit more |
| 200s | threatening but on top of that there's |
| 202s | octasari Rap God on tier VI which will |
| 206s | continue which when it dies it will |
| 208s | summon a tentacle that gets bigger every |
| 210s | time you summon uh minions in combat so |
| 213s | as you can see it can might drop down a |
| 216s | huge 30 30 but it can then get doubled |
| 219s | on top of that by banana Slammer and |
| 221s | then it's a 60 60. and those Buffs will |
| 223s | persist between combats so there's |
| 226s | really no limit to how hard you drop the |
| 228s | mic with beasts moving on now to dragons |
| 232s | though we have a change to calagos |
| 234s | instead of only triggering when you play |
| 236s | a Battle Cry minion now it will give |
| 238s | your dragons plus one plus one whenever |
| 240s | you trigger a Battle Cry meaning that |
| 242s | with brown bronzebeard on board you get |
| 243s | double as much effect you can also use |
| 246s | things that trigger extra battle cries |
| 248s | such as shutterwalk's hero power or |
| 250s | merkai change that we just mentioned as |
| 252s | well as the new dragon disco shuffler uh |
| 254s | as additional ways to trigger your |
| 256s | battle cries to get even more stats out |
| 258s | of your caligo very exciting stuff there |
| 260s | but moving on to Elementals now we've |
| 262s | got a little surprise for everyone on |
| 264s | tier six it is Elemental of surprise |
| 266s | which can triple with any Elemental |
| 268s | meaning you just need to have a pair of |
| 270s | any other Elemental you buy your |
| 272s | Elemental surprise and it will combine |
| 274s | into the base minion but with the |
| 276s | surprises Divine Shield applied on top |
| 279s | of it it can be really powerful for |
| 280s | being able to get these big stats onto |
| 282s | your minions but then the Divine shield |
| 283s | on top of that can open up some new |
| 285s | synergies as well as protecting those |
| 287s | stats from things like venomous very |
| 289s | exciting stuff and last but not least we |
| 292s | have Undead here with a modest shake-up |
| 294s | but a card that I know you're very proud |
| 296s | of I know I'm very proud of Radio Star I |
| 297s | think it's a really fun little reference |
| 299s | uh but for Undead we decided to kind of |
| 301s | play it a little bit safe this time you |
| 303s | know there's still the new kid on the |
| 304s | Block and we're really happy with how |
| 305s | they they turned out so we're giving |
| 307s | them a couple new toys to play with uh |
| 309s | such as xyla bones that will uh gain |
| 313s | Health every time you summon a minion in |
| 314s | combat which can also work well as a |
| 316s | nice cross Synergy with all the beasts |
| 317s | summoning that's right right and I |
| 320s | believe that covers it Mitchell can we |
| 323s | just go play now yeah actually you can |
| 325s | if you go on live right now you can go |
| 326s | play with these six minion types we |
| 328s | talked about but that's not the end of |
| 329s | the fun we are actually unrolling out |
| 331s | four more minion types over the next few |
| 333s | weeks uh so if you actually tune back in |
| 335s | in two days on May 11th you can hear us |
| 338s | talking about Pirates |
| 340s | all right |
| 342s | okay bye |
