Patch 27.0.1 is a server-side hotfix rolling out now with the following updates and bug fixes:

Battlegrounds Updates
General Quest and Quest Reward Updates

• New Quests no longer appear more frequently than normal.
• Victim’s Specter, Burn the Evidence, and Pressure the Authorities have been returned to the Quest/Quest Reward Pools.

Quest Updates
The following Quest has been made easier to complete:

• Burn the Evidence

Quest Reward Updates
The following Quest Rewards have been more difficult to complete (this means that requirements of the Quests paired with these Rewards will be harder to fulfill):

• Endless Blood Moon
• Sturdy Shard
• Doppelganger’s Locket (this Quest Reward is also now rarer)

The following Quest Rewards have been easier to complete (the requirements will be easier to fulfill):

The decks awarded to new and returning players have been updated with Patch 27.0! New players are eligible for their free deck after completing the tutorial, the Starter Quest chain, graduating from the New Player Ranks (Ranks 40-1), and then returning to the main menu. Returning players who have been away for 90 or more days are eligible for a free deck just for logging in. Returning players can claim these returning decks each time they are eligible.

Players borrow all these decks for one week following their eligibility, so they can try them out before making their choice. It’s possible players may not see their chosen deck in their deck lists if they do not have an open deck slot when they choose their free deck. The cards in the deck (aside from the Core Set cards) will still be added to their Collections. They can clear a deck slot and use the deck codes below to construct the decks.

Each deck includes the cards listed, except for the Core Set cards in them. Core...

Patch 27.0 is now live, and TITANS is launching on August 1! The following are some of the issues we’re tracking this patch:

• [Resolved 7/28] [Hearthstone] Always a Bigger Jormungar is not working correctly with cleave effects like Hollow Hound’s. It is expected to be updated in a patch prior to the launch of TITANS.
• [Resolved 7/28] [Hearthstone] Imprisoned Horror’s cost is being reduced by Blood Treant. Due to a recent rules change, paying Health is not intended to count as “damage.” This interaction is expected to be updated in a patch prior to the launch of TITANS.
• [Resolved 7/28] [Hearthstone] Forest Seedlings and Frost Lotus Seedling will decrease their cost on turn 1 if kept in the mulligan. This is unintended and is expected to be updated in a patch prior to the launch of TITANS.
• [Resolved 7/28] [Hearthstone] The team is investigating reports that cards that go into the secret zone (Secrets, Auras, Love Everlasting, etc.) cast by School ...

Patch 26.6.3 is a server-side patch, launching today, that brings Quests back to Battlegrounds along with a few bug fixes.

Battleground Quests
Quests are back in Battlegrounds! Just like last time, three Quest-Reward pairs are offered on turn 4 (the 6 Gold turn) for you to choose from. The Quests require you to take certain specified game actions to earn progress towards your game-changing Reward! You can learn more about how Quests work and all the new and returning Quests and Quest Rewards in our dedicated Battlegrounds Quests blog.

Hi all,

New Titan minions were revealed last week when we announced TITANS, our next expansion! Soon, the rest of the Titans will be revealed and we thought it would be a great time to answer some questions and really get into the nitty-gritty about how Titans work in Hearthstone. So we brought an expert along to give us the scoop—check it out if you want to know all the details of the new Titan keyword, and don’t forget to follow along with our Titan card reveals from July 3 to July 7!

The following is being posted on behalf of Clay Howell, a Senior Software Engineer on the Hearthstone team.

New Keyword: Titan!

Hello! The next expansion, TITANS, has been announced and along with it comes the brand-new Keyword: Titan! I’m here to break down exactly how this new keyword works, so let’s dive deep into the rules and edge cases.

We’ll start with the basics, and then get more nuanced. Titan is a new keyword found only on minion...

Just added his one, thanks. They’ll heal you up when we get an opening to do so.

Patch 26.6 is now live on desktop. This massive patch includes the pre-purchase for Hearthstone’s next expansion, TITANS; the launch of Hearthstone’s latest mode, Twist; and the first part of Battlegrounds’ mid-season update!

Clarification: Twist ladder bonuses are based on your Wild ladder multiplier (aka bonus stars). This is not a bug and was intentionally done as a way to try to efficiently tier the new Mode’s matchmaking. In the future, Twist will have its own multiplier, just like Standard and Wild have their own multipliers.

Here are some issues we’re tracking with this patch:

• [Resolved 6/30] [Hearthstone]: Prison of Yogg-Saron doesn’t show the cards cast to both players while casting them. This will be resolved in a hotfix update soon. In the meantime, both players can see the cards cast by checking the history tile.
• [Resolved 7/6] [Twist/Shop]: The Druid Battle-Ready Deck for Twist is not quite as battle-ready as...

Patch 26.4.2 is a server-side hotfix patch rolling out now with the following game updates and bug fixes:

Battlegrounds Updates
The following heroes now have less armor:

• Cookie the Cook now has 6 Armor
• Inge, the Iron Hymn now has 6 Armor, and 8 Armor at higher levels
• Murloc Holmes now has 8 Armor
• Rock Master Voone now has 10 Armor, and 8 Armor at higher levels
• Tamsin Roame now has 12 Armor

The following heroes now have more armor:

• Galakrond now has 16 Armor
• Alexstrasza now has 17 Armor
• Zephrys, the Great now has 18 Armor
• Illidan Stormrage now has 20 Armor

Duels Updates

• Daring Fire-Eater, Amplified Snowflurry, Popular Pixie, Felfire Deadeye, Waterboy, Idol’s Adoration, Sneaky Scout, and Fanottem Lord of the Opera are now banned from deckbuilding and all card pools.

26.4.1 is a small server-side hotfix releasing today with back-end updates and the following player-facing updates and bug fixes:

• [Hearthstone] We’re temporarily disabling the “New Cards” button in the Collection, due to bugs it caused. We’re investigating a permanent solution to bring the button back in a later patch.
• [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where decks that did not have an assigned card back were treated as having been assigned the “Classic” card back.
• [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where Magatha, Bane of Music revealed all the cards she drew.
• [Battlegrounds] Fixed a bug where using Upbeat Duo on Putricide’s Creation would only grant the base Undead, not a copy of the creation.
• [Progression] Fixed a bug where the “Sun and Moon to Me” Achievement did not count the Core Set versions of the cards.

Blood Treant not working is intended due to the rules change from a few patches back that “paying health instead of mana” is not counted as damage.

Patch 26.4 is now live, bringing with it the end of all music or your opportunity to save the sound! Find out with the new 38-card Audiopocalypse Mini-Set. Follow this page for updates on list issues we’re tracking with this patch.

The issues we’re tracking this patch include:

• [Resolved 6/2] We’re investigating an issue where decks that do not have a card back assigned are treated as being assigned the Classic card back. You can assign a card back to a particular deck or uncheck “limit to favorites” as workarounds.
• [Resolved 6/15] We’re aware that ongoing Duels runs did not retire with the patch. Instead, the season reset will happen when players finish the run on their own (either by retiring or playing all their games). Players who had an active that would have been retired with the Patch 26.4 reset will be granted one Tavern Ticket in an update soon.
• In Duels, Uber Diablo’s effect is shown as a “Battlecry” effect, but it actually triggers upo...

Hey there brawlers,

The Heroic Brawliseum is kicking off tomorrow and we know many of you are excited for the high-stakes competition and prizes! The Legendary Quest chain for the Heroic Brawliseum went live today, in preparation for tomorrow’s kick-off. That Legendary Quest chain awards two new Death Knight skins for people who compete and do well in the Heroic Brawliseum.

Some of you may have noticed that the first step of the Legendary Quest chain now only requires you to play 3 Heroic Brawliseum games, instead of win 3 Heroic Brawliseum games. Simply put, this was a mistake on our part. As initially announced, the intent was that the Frostmonger Sai Death Knight skin would be earned by winning 3 Heroic Brawliseum games.

We’ve decided not to change the Legendary Quest back to the original version this time. Frostmonger Sai will now be able to be earned by playing 3 Heroic Brawliseum games during this Heroic Brawliseum period...

Hello all,

Patch 26.2 is launching May 9, kicking off Battlegrounds Season 4 with a massive minion remix! Follow this page for updates on issues we’re tracking this patch.

Patch 26.2 will launch with the following known issues:

• [Battlegrounds] Monstrous Macaw will be temporarily removed from the minion pool at launch due to a bugged interaction. Macaw will be returned to the minion pool once that interaction has been addressed in an upcoming hotfix patch.
• [Battlegrounds] Fireworks Fanatic will be removed from the minion pool at launch due to an unintended play pattern outlier. We are still assessing this play pattern and the best solutions to it, so the card may or may not be returned to the minion pool any time soon.
• [Tavern Brawl] This week’s Tavern Brawl will be ending one day earlier than usual to avoid an issue with the Heroic Tavern Brawl next week. We are working on another solution for this issue for future instan...

The decks awarded to new and returning players have been updated with the Festival of Legends! Returning players who have been away for 90 or more days are eligible for a free deck just for logging in. Returning players can claim these returning decks each time they are eligible. New players are eligible for their free deck after completing the tutorial, the Starter Quest chain, graduating from the New Player Ranks (Ranks 40-1), and then returning to the main menu.

Players borrow all these decks for one week following their eligibility, so they can try them out before making their choice. There was a bug with the new/returning player decks period with Patch 26.0 where the decks were not available between the Patch date and the expansion launch date—players who would have been eligible for the loaner deck period during that time will instead start their one week loaner deck period with expansion launch. We apologize for the confusion and any inconvenience.

• [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where Demon Hunter bots on ladder were getting 1 Armor instead of 1 Attack from their Hero Power.
• [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where Solid Alibi would block Abyssal Curse damage the next turn.
