| 0s | hello and welcome back to the final Dev |
|---|---|
| 2s | talk in our series talking about |
| 4s | Battleground season four I'm Mitchell |
| 6s | I'm Dominic and we're designers on the |
| 8s | Battlegrounds Hearthstone team uh |
| 10s | talking about all the new content that's |
| 11s | coming out today we're going to talk |
| 12s | about the last two mini types being |
| 14s | added which are quilbore and Max so |
| 16s | let's just jump right into it with |
| 17s | billboard so this uh season what cool |
| 20s | Board gets to do is more blood gem |
| 21s | manipulation so in the past you would be |
| 23s | able to get a lot of blood gems and |
| 24s | there's some videos that cared about |
| 25s | playing blood gems on them but the blood |
| 27s | gems itself just kind of stayed as the |
| 29s | static plus one plus ones now you have |
| 31s | ways to grow your blood gems way bigger |
| 32s | than that one minion you can use is Moon |
| 34s | bacon jazzer which is Battle Cry For the |
| 36s | Rest of game your blood Gins give an |
| 38s | extra plus one health or prickly Piper |
| 40s | which is death rattle for the rest of |
| 41s | your game your blood gems give an extra |
| 43s | plus one attack but these you can scale |
| 45s | your blood gems to these ginormous stat |
| 48s | givers uh way bigger than your Baseline |
| 50s | plus one plus one I think in some places |
| 51s | I've seen together as big as about plus |
| 53s | 17 plus 17 which is really big yeah I |
| 57s | really love the variety that these |
| 58s | minions give to cool board games because |
| 60s | sometimes sometimes you'll get lots of |
| 61s | attack and be playing Divine Shield |
| 63s | minions and other times you'll get tons |
| 64s | of health and get to put that on Minions |
| 66s | that you want to survive like rivendare |
| 68s | one of the new minions we also have |
| 69s | coming is bongo bopper which is a great |
| 71s | way for you to generate additional blood |
| 73s | gems as well as something that scales |
| 75s | itself because it plays more blood gems |
| 77s | on it each turn this is also a fun one |
| 79s | to play with Jakari enchanter which will |
| 80s | double your end of turn effects the last |
| 82s | thing we also have coming to quilboar is |
| 83s | bristleback on tier VI which is Avenged |
| 86s | one playing blood gem on all your |
| 88s | quilbore this is the first time we're |
| 89s | playing Legends during the combat phase |
| 91s | which let you take advantage of some |
| 92s | synergies that you normally couldn't do |
| 94s | such as refreshing a Divine shields on |
| 96s | tough toss or giving your puffer quills |
| 98s | venomous again we'll also making a |
| 99s | couple small tweaks to existing cool |
| 102s | board minions including a change to |
| 104s | Thorn collar which was previously on |
| 106s | tier 3 and is now being moved down to |
| 108s | tier two uh with just the death rattle |
| 110s | we want to make sure that there was a |
| 111s | reliable way that you can generate blood |
| 112s | gems on a lower tier that wasn't quite |
| 115s | as swingy as something like roadbore |
| 117s | which especially in the late game just |
| 118s | kind of dropped off really hard we also |
| 120s | have a change coming to Charla which is |
| 122s | uh now no longer going to play Blood |
| 124s | gems on itself in the past it was fine |
| 126s | when bludgeons are always giving plus |
| 128s | one plus one but when you can scale them |
| 129s | way bigger than that Charles had started |
| 132s | getting a little bit too big yeah I |
| 133s | think it's time that we jump into mechs |
| 135s | now they've got a new focus on magnetic |
| 138s | we can start here with Lola bot nice and |
| 140s | simple at the end of your turn gain plus |
| 142s | one plus one it's a great way to start |
| 143s | your scaling early and it doesn't need |
| 145s | to take up a board slot to do it we also |
| 147s | have a chordatron which is mech's unique |
| 149s | way to get an extra gold every turn |
| 151s | you'll get more gold and you can also |
| 153s | stack this one a whole bunch and before |
| 154s | you know it you'll be getting 20 gold |
| 156s | every turn scrap scraper is a great way |
| 158s | to get more magnetics over the course of |
| 160s | the game as you work your way towards |
| 162s | utility drone on tier V which is a |
| 165s | really good way to keep your scaling |
| 167s | competitive later in the game because |
| 169s | for every magnetic minion that you've |
| 171s | attached those mechs will keep scaling |
| 173s | every turn and finally polarizing |
| 175s | beatboxer whenever you magnetize another |
| 178s | Minion it also magnetizes this so as |
| 180s | you're buying more magnetics and scrap |
| 182s | scraper is giving you more then you'll |
| 184s | get an extra magnetization every time |
| 186s | you attach it it's also worth mentioning |
| 188s | a change that we're making to Magnetic |
| 190s | which is previously you needed a board |
| 192s | space to be able to play a magnetic |
| 193s | minion now you can play magnetic even if |
| 195s | your board is full of all seven minions |
| 197s | this actually came out of play testing |
| 199s | because there's a lot of frustration uh |
| 201s | when you're getting all of these extra |
| 202s | magnetic minions off your scrap scraper |
| 204s | but then you had to sell something you |
| 206s | cared about to be able to make room to |
| 207s | play it and it just didn't feel so good |
| 209s | so we made this change so that it's a |
| 211s | lot easier for you to engage with the |
| 212s | system while still getting that tough |
| 214s | decision making about where you want to |
| 215s | put your strong magnetic effects well |
| 217s | that's all the new content now all 10 |
| 220s | minion types are live on Battlegrounds |
| 222s | you can check them all out new synergies |
| 224s | new stuff uh go play yeah thank you so |
| 227s | much for watching and have fun on the |
| 229s | battlegrounds |
