| 0s | hello everybody and welcome to the |
|---|---|
| 2s | fourth Dev talk for Battleground season |
| 4s | four my name is Gia I'm Dominic and |
| 6s | today we're talking about demons that's |
| 8s | right demons enter the Battlegrounds |
| 10s | today with quite a few changes currently |
| 12s | they're known for two main archetypes |
| 14s | consuming minions from Bob's tavern or |
| 17s | token based strategies with soul juggler |
| 19s | which was more of a Tempo thing to do |
| 21s | and not really a late game viable |
| 23s | strategy so we're going to give that a |
| 25s | little bit of a break and replace it |
| 27s | with a whole new self-damage archetype |
| 29s | and that was inspired by an old minion |
| 32s | in floating Watcher but the problem with |
| 34s | that one was once you got an immune |
| 37s | minion online like catherineatier to |
| 39s | stop you from dying you couldn't further |
| 41s | scale it so we found a new way to |
| 43s | prevent the damage but still trigger |
| 45s | those Minions that want you to |
| 46s | self-dimage this is soul rewinder after |
| 48s | your hero takes damage rewind it and |
| 51s | give this plus one Health so in the |
| 53s | Minions that we'll talk about in a |
| 54s | second that damage your hero you'll take |
| 56s | that damage for just a second and then |
| 58s | undo it so you don't have to worry about |
| 59s | getting too low on health but everything |
| 61s | is still activated absolutely on tier |
| 64s | two we also have backstage security |
| 66s | which is very good stats for the tier |
| 69s | not the cost but of course if you have |
| 72s | soul rewinder it's even better because |
| 74s | you don't even get any of that downside |
| 76s | backstate security is also a really easy |
| 78s | way to activate your keyboard igniter |
| 80s | which is a new tier 3 demon battle |
| 82s | credit if you've taken damage since last |
| 84s | turn give your other demons plus one |
| 85s | plus two and it's important to note that |
| 88s | if you haven't dealt any damage to your |
| 90s | hero this turn from demons it might |
| 93s | still be active from taking damage from |
| 94s | combat last turn and another one on tier |
| 97s | three is malthazar Prince of dance which |
| 99s | uses that same costs Health instead of |
| 102s | Gold Line of the text box as leeching |
| 104s | felhound except now instead of buying it |
| 106s | is for refreshing so you can get two |
| 109s | extra refreshes per turn if you're |
| 111s | willing to pay the price or you got the |
| 113s | soul rewinder which means you can find |
| 114s | demons more consistently and play those |
| 117s | to trigger your wrathweaver which will |
| 119s | then trigger your tichondrias that's |
| 121s | right tichondrias is the new tier V |
| 122s | demon which scales all your other demons |
| 125s | every time your hero takes damage this |
| 127s | works great with malcazar soul rewinder |
| 129s | will make sure that you don't take |
| 131s | damage as you're scaling when you get |
| 132s | all those pieces together it feels great |
| 134s | and as the cherry on top we have |
| 136s | imposing percussionist which is a two |
| 139s | for one trigger on your wrath Weaver |
| 140s | slash tichondrias it allows you to |
| 143s | discover a demon and while you do take |
| 145s | damage equal to its tier that shouldn't |
| 148s | really matter when you got the sole |
| 149s | rewinder online and on top of all of |
| 152s | these new minions we've also made a few |
| 154s | changes to existing cards the first of |
| 157s | which is wrathweaver which we've already |
| 159s | mentioned quite a few times is a |
| 161s | powerful engine for this new archetype |
| 163s | which means that we had to pull back on |
| 165s | the scaling a little bit but it gets one |
| 167s | extra base Health to compensate we also |
| 169s | lowered a nylon Battlemaster to tier 4 |
| 171s | so that you can get to that advantage of |
| 173s | hero damage a little bit earlier in the |
| 174s | game and our final change is to famished |
| 177s | falbot which is of a different archetype |
| 179s | within demons but one that we feel was a |
| 183s | good one to pull back on to let the |
| 185s | self-damaged demons shine a little bit |
| 187s | more but speaking of consumed demons |
| 189s | while famish felbat no longer Buffs |
| 192s | itself one of them that still does is |
| 194s | insatiable ursul on tier 5 which is a |
| 197s | great bridge between the self-damage |
| 200s | composition and the consume one because |
| 202s | whenever you play a demon it's going to |
| 204s | keep growing and it's also going to |
| 206s | trigger wrathweaver tichondrias and |
| 208s | everything gets out of hand pretty |
| 209s | quickly well that's all the new content |
| 212s | for demons you can play them all right |
| 214s | now in the Battlegrounds and you can |
| 215s | also tune in next week on May 22nd for |
| 218s | our final Dev talk with Mex and quilbore |
| 220s | very excited hope to see you in the |
| 222s | battlegrounds |
