Add Mercenaries party tag for events

None of the existing tags really fit for events (like the current Yogg event): I considered "farming" or "achievement hunting", but neither really applies. It would be nice if a party could be tagged as designed for an event. Ideally …

Mercenaries deck builder shows Valeera's equipment in addition to Kazakus'

In the Mercenaries deck builder, if I add [merc]Kazakus, Golem Shaper[/merc] to the party, I get to choose from 6 pieces of equipment instead of 3. It looks like 3 of them actually belong to Kazakus, while the other 3 …

How to Complete Yogg-Saron Mercenaries Event Task 5 "Shallow Waters" - Tips & Parties Inside

I used the dragon comp. While there were a few close calls during the climb (only 2 health remaining in one case), it worked reliably in the boss fight.

If you haven't unlocked [merc]Tidemistress Athissa[/merc]'s equipment yet, that's another …

How to Complete Yogg-Saron Mercenaries Event Task 4 "Stay Cool" - Tips & Parties Inside

[merc]Brann Bronzebeard[/merc] actually works quite well for this task, as long as you never click his second ability (Fire). After a few cracks of his whip (first ability), my mercs were effectively immune to Frost damage.

I tried to …

How to Complete Yogg-Saron Mercenaries Event Task 3 "Sacred Groove" - Tips & Parties Inside

I used Old Guardian's Orc comp, which swaps out the Holy mercs for even more Orcs. It makes the climb a bit quicker, but it's not a budget comp.

I recommend to reroll the map until you get a …

I hope there is a relatively low cap on the amount of power you can add, otherwise balance might go into pay2win …

Hearthstone Is Getting New Daily & Weekly Quests; Questline & Tradeable Quests Being Removed

They're a weird compromise: the numbers are very low for Mercenaries, as you can finish such a quest in about 2 minutes, while in Constructed it takes way too long. For example using [card]Flamestrike[/card] in Constructed you have to wait …

Get a Free Legendary Hearthstone Card & 7 Battlegrounds Skins Through Prime Gaming as the Promotion Returns for June

Usually they're available for one month, at which point the next month's offer replaces them. I don't expect the next set before August, so this promotion has probably ended before then.

By the way, they give a Standard legendary, …

Special Y’Shaarj Event for Hearthstone Mercenaries Is Coming to an End - Last Chance To Complete Some Tasks!

I completed the last task this weekend. Thanks for the guides, they were a great help on some of the tougher challenges.

I didn't complete the first two events. For the first I was too much behind on completing …

How to Complete Y'Shaarj Mercenaries Event Task 8 "You're a Kid Now" - Tips & Parties Inside

Thanks for the comp and video! I tried to mirror the video exactly and use the trick of casting the freeze on Psychus to bypass N'Zoth's immunity. Unfortunately my mercs didn't do quite enough damage to finish off Psychus, so …

Our Thoughts on Hearthstone's Recent Balance Changes - Control Warrior and Fel DH Hit, Big Shaman Bites the Dust

Why craft legendaries from the mini set? When you're interested in multiple legendaries from the set, it's more efficient to buy the full set with gold: 2000 gold vs 3200+ dust, while they are roughly 1:1 in value.

How to Complete Y'Shaarj Mercenaries Event Task 4 "Fight Fire with Fire" - Tips & Parties Inside

I didn't realize how much Mass Hysteria can wreck your mercs if you have a few with high attack. You should really stick to only spell casters.

How to Complete Y'Shaarj Mercenaries Event Task 1 "Mountain Hikers" - Tips & Parties Inside

I tried all pirates, but mine aren't fully upgraded yet and I didn't get great treasures, so that was a loss at the boss.

Second time I used [merc]Gruul[/merc] with the fire resistance equipment, as that's always a good …

Tasks for the Y'Shaarj Mercenaries Event Datamined - Prepare Yourself for the Challenge!

I hope pirate synergies are strong, because I haven't been impressed with most pirates individually and a heroic bounty with 5 pirates sounds tough.

A secret cow level popped up in Mercenaries. I guess it's an unannounced promo for Diablo Immortal.

Special N’Zoth Event for Hearthstone Mercenaries Is Almost Over - Last Chance to Complete Some Tasks!

Three New Demon Hunter Cards Revealed For Hearthstone's Throne of the Tides Mini-Set

The risk of not finding a big card is a good point; you would indeed need a pretty top-heavy deck to make it likely to hit a good card. On the other hand, the mulligan does help a bit in …

How to Complete N'Zoth Mercenaries Event Task 10 "Visions of Conquest" - Tips & Parties Inside

I used the fire comp, although with Antonidas instead of Chi-Ji because I haven't leveled the latter as far. Climbing was easy, but the boss battle is pretty tricky. You can't really take it slow because the Maw's ability will …
