We've got two new heroes entering Battlegrounds this week when Patch 20.4 drops - Mutanus the Devourer and Guff Runetotem! The two heroes are being added while Maiev goes on a vacation as she has been temporarily removed from the hero pool.
We've also got a new Demon minion being added, Hexruin Marauder, and some other changes which include the removal of Quilboar being guaranteed in the minion pool.
- Quilboar are no longer guaranteed to be in every Battlegrounds match.
- Siegebreaker has been removed from Battlegrounds.
- Cap’n Hoggarr’s text has been reworded to say “whenever” instead of “after” (no functional change).
Patch 20.4 arrives tomorrow, June 3, alongside the Wailing Caverns mini-set for Forged in the Barrens. Read on to see what the new heroes and minion do.
New Hero: Mutanus the Devourer
It can now pay to buff up some less than ideal early-game minions since their stats can be transferred over to your better minions. Top contender for sure!
- Devour [Costs 0]
- Remove a friendly minion. Spit its stats onto another. Gain 1 Gold.
New Hero: Guff Runetotem
Interesting synergies with Tavern Tiers of cards!
- Natural Balance [Costs 1]
- Give a friendly minion of each Tavern Tier +2/+1.
New Minion: Hexruin Marauder
It looks like the rush to tier 4 is on!
- [Tier 4, Demon] 3 Attack, 5 Health. At the end of your turn, if you have 6 or fewer minions, gain +3/+3.
