Hearthstone Battlegrounds Season 8: A Deep Dive into New Features
Hearthstone's Season 8 has arrived, bringing exciting updates to Battlegrounds. This includes new heroes, minions, cards, and a revamped system featuring Trinkets. Let's explore the key changes!
The Big News: Trinkets!
Trinkets are the new power-ups, available on turns 6 and 9, offering four choices each time. There are 56 Lesser Trinkets and 60 Greater Trinkets, with some offering multiple benefits. Trinket selection is influenced by your hero and current board composition (Elementals, Dragons, Murlocs, etc.), ensuring diverse options for every strategy.
Meet Marin the Manager: The New Hero
Marin the Manager joins the roster, providing a significant advantage: he allows you to acquire a Trinket a turn earlier than usual. This strategic boost can significantly impact gameplay.
