Blizzard are finally releasing Monster Hunts. the brand new single-player mode for Hearthstone expansion The Witchwood! Players can choose one of four heroes made specially for Monster Hunts: Tracker, Cannoneer, Houndmaster, and Time-Tinker.
Each new hero has its own unique boss so you better build a good enough deck! Players build and improve their decks as they progress through a series of increasingly difficult encounters. When you’ve completed a Monster Hunt with all four heroes, it’s then time to face Hagatha the Witch in an epic final encounter. If you’re able to defeat Hagatha, you’ll earn the Monster Hunt card back!
Here are the four new heroes:
- The Tracker
- Tess Greymane, daughter of Genn Greymane, is an elite—and well-equipped—rogue who excels at tracking down her enemies and using their own tricks against them. Her Hero Power, “Scavenge”, allows her to Discover a spell played earlier in the game and add it to her hand.
- The Cannoneer
- Darius Crowley is a fierce warrior and capable military commander who protected the citizens of Gilneas during the outbreak of the Worgen curse. Now, he’s bringing in the heavy artillery to overwhelm the twisted creatures of the forest with sheer firepower. When used, his Hero Power – “Fire!” – will launch a menacing volley at his foe!
- The Houndmaster
- Houndmaster Shaw has spent his life training the finest hounds in the land. Before the curse, he was an avid fox hunter . . . but now, he sets his dogs loose in pursuit of far more dangerous prey. Houndmaster Shaw’s Hero Power, “Dog Whistle,” summons a 1/1 Bloodhound with Rush that he can sic on his opponents.
- The Time Tinker
- Toki the Traveler is a clever gnome who has mastered the forbidden arcane art of time manipulation; she plans to use her unique ability to enact pre-emptive revenge against Hagatha the Witch, who will cause her family great harm if not stopped. Toki’s Hero Power, “Temporal Loop”, allows her to restart her turn at no cost.
You also earn The Witchwood card packs as you fight through the cursed forest! Defeat 10 monsters with each new Hero in Monster Hunt to earn a total of four free card packs.
So what are you waiting for! You can play Hearthstone on Windows, Mac, Android or iOS.
