Hero: Queen Azshara πΈ
Buddy: Imperial Defender
Dev Fact: This Buddy can help you quickly reach the 30-Attack threshold of Azshara's Ambition and also synergizes with Eventide Brute, Critter Wrangler, and Tidemistress Athissa. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fqou6PCWIAAbxwM.jpg
Hero: Lady Vashj π§
Buddy: Coilfang Elite
Dev Fact: This was one of Lady Vashj's initial Hero Power designs. The first "whenever X appears in Bob's Tavern" effect! http://pbs.twimg.com/media/FqoxBrNaMAY5M-d.jpg
Hero: Sylvanas Windrunner πΉ
Buddy: Nathanos Blightcaller
Dev Fact: This is a callback to Sylvanas' original Hero Power, and one of the few Tier 5 Buddies due to its powerful effect. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fqoz6TGaMAEKfAN.jpg
Hero: The Jailer β
Buddy: Mawsworn Soulkeeper
Dev Fact: Initial ideas included filling the board with 1/1 Undead tokens, but concerns arose due to power level. Random Tier 1s provided more variety while maintaining the core concept of an engine for the Jailer's Hero Power. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fqo0jmoagAAFHTg.jpg
Hero: Enhance-o Mechano π€
Buddy: Enhance-o Medico
Dev Fact: Initially this was a flat stat bonus if the minion in shop had any of these Keywords, but scaling for each lets it be extra fun to pick up minions like Bronze Warden. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fqo2GjVaQAcl5ro.jpg
Hero: Professor Putricide π§ͺ
Buddy: Festergut
Dev Fact: Festergut will work by the same rules even if you are not playing as Putricide - that is, the Creation will pull from the same pools with the same Tier restrictions as the Professor's Hero Power. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fqo3VEtaIAAwefH.jpg
Hero: Teron Gorefiend π§
Buddy: Shadowy Construct
Dev Fact: This is a throwback for Qiraji Harbinger enjoyers that makes you consider the positioning of Teron's Hero Power target a bit more. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fqo4L8maMAAPuSo.jpg
