Gul'dan

Fel Bolt is hella slow, but the damage output ramps considerably and requires nothing but the time invested. I also appreciate the Lifesteal-nature of Siphon Life, increasing as the damage goes up. Healing Orcs and Demons could be seen as …

Guff Runetotem

Guff is all about those Nature abilities, but he goes about it in a weird way. He Attacks, buffs and Taunts like a Protector would, but then he has Living Brambles which is just straight damage. He has to compete …

Bru'kan

Bru'kan is mostly damage, but he can certainly help pump out a lot of it. Ramp with Lightning Bolt before you spam Chain Lightning, or focus-fire with Muddy Footing to keep one particular enemy from ever going quickly. From what …

Brightwing

Ugh, Brightwing. I hate this little shit, in Mercenaries or otherwise. Faerie Breath + Phase Shift seems like they're meant to go together, buffing up your bench before you swap with one to finish the fight. On brand for this …

Blink Fox

Blink Fox looks like a "combo" character, and not just because of the Arcane Combo on Arcane Fling. Mana Blink allows for some crazy stuff, double-tapping enemies with your best abilities. The Speed bonus is certainly appreciated, as well. It'll …

Baron Geddon

As I said in my Antonidas post, there are currently 4 Mercs with multiple Fire abilities, but a couple more with a one-off Fire ability (like Voone, Tavish, etc.). You'll want some to set off the Fire Combo, and I …

Antonidas

Not including Antonidas himself, there appear to be 4 four Mercs with multiple Fire abilities, and a couple more who have a one-off Fire ability. That's not bad, and they're covered across the Role spectrum so you have coverage when …

Anduin Wrynn

There are nine Human characters at present, which is roughly a fifth of the total pool. However, they're not spread out evenly among the Roles, with only 1 Fighter and 3 Protectors. This could lead to a problem for Anduin: …

Hearthstone Gets Many New Mercenaries Card Keywords - What Are Deathblow, Bleed, Root, Spell Combo, and Critical Damage?

Certainly possible, but Frozen keeping them from acting at all seems incredibly strong and sort of bucks against what Freeze normally does (which is just stopping attacks). I guess we'll have to wait and see.

For what it's worth, …

We're Getting 2 Free Hearthstone Mercenaries Packs to Celebrate Launch Day

PvP appears to be for those who want it, although there will also be rewards for playing (first wins of the day, perhaps, and end-of-Season stuff). You can still earn rewards by just playing PvE bounties, though, so I wouldn't …

It Looks Like Hearthstone Battlegrounds' Heroes Are Getting Halloween Skins!

That fish is fucking terrifying.

Hearthstone Gets Many New Mercenaries Card Keywords - What Are Deathblow, Bleed, Root, Spell Combo, and Critical Damage?

There doesn't appear to be, so it seems mostly for "flavor" reasons; as in, you wouldn't want to see Malfurion Freezing people 'cause that would be weird. Gameplay-wise, currently the only difference it will make is with Jaina: Jaina's first …

We're Getting 2 Free Hearthstone Mercenaries Packs to Celebrate Launch Day

To go along with what FortyDust said, you get 8 of the 52 Mercs for free just from playing the tutorial, so you're already given a decent starting point beyond what a traditional "gacha" tends to give.

Who Are the Fighter Hearthstone Mercenaries? All 18 Collectible Mercenaries

If you click on Diablo you can see all of his abilities, equipment, and portraits. One of them is the Dark Wanderer portrait; it will be available from packs, presumably.

Edit: Or do you mean you want the art …

All the initial Mercenary choices already revealed?

Weird that Medivh, ETC, and Lorewalker Cho are in the reveal trailer, but not in the game itself *shrugs* Got to save something for later, I guess.

Who Are the Caster Hearthstone Mercenaries? All 18 Collectible Mercenaries

My favorite Casters from this list:

  • Blink Fox - Mind Thief is just too cool to ignore. Considering there are boss abilities and the like that players wouldn't normally have access to, this could be a really fun …

Who Are the Fighter Hearthstone Mercenaries? All 18 Collectible Mercenaries

My favorite Fighters from this list:

  • Diablo - Speed kills, and Diablo can seriously slow down an opponent with Doom Charge, then punish everyone with Fire Stomp. Apocalypse could allow for a 100-to-0 nuke against a target, which …

Who Are the Protector Hearthstone Mercenaries? All 16 Collectible Launch Mercenaries

My favorite Protectors from this list:

  • Cairne Bloodhoof - I think Speed will be King in a lot of ways, so improving your team's Speed or slowing down the enemy will be strong. Cairne can do both, while …

Datamined Changes Coming in Hearthstone's Next Battlegrounds Update - Leapfrogger Nerfed

The Leapfrogger combo might be completely dead after this; hard to say. The nerf to the Frog was one thing, but removing Macaw's ability to self-target kills the infinite loop.

Glad to see the Doomsayer got hit as well.

The radio silence is deafening
Quote From Alfi
Quote From linkblade91
Right? I would have included Ragnaros instead of Sylvanas. I might have went for the trifecta, then, as Sylvanas' abilities are not compelling to me.
