The tightly packed reveal schedule for Hearthstone Mercenaries continued with the crew of The Fighting Pit Podcast - ZombiesGoNomNom, Mullahoo, and WizardBeast - unveiling the next four upcoming characters. Once again, you should be able to recognize every featured individual (okay, at least three of them) through their past Warcraft & Hearthstone appearances!
All of the new Mercenaries are set to join the game mode on September 27, along with the entire Maw and Disorder Mini-Set. In case you haven't caught any of the previous news, we also talked about the recent development update, and six other new Mercs: revealed by the dedicated Discord and Grumpi, respectively.
Four New Mercenaries
A curious group consisting of: Dragon, Murloc, Troll, and Human (or Worgen, if you prefer). Two Protectors and two Fighters, to balance the roles somewhat with the previous 5 Casters already shown to us. Once again it's two Epics and two Legendaries, so now it's the time to let out a heavy sigh if Mercenaries packs don't usually bless you with good odds.
Courtesy of the hosts, we also have the associated graphics for abilities and equipment pieces available. They did mention that due to having to use custom templates, some of the art for items might not overlap with what we're going to see in the live version of the game. As ZombiesGoNomNom elaborated on Twitter, making these can take more time than people might think. So it's all the more appreciated!

The Fighting Pit's Reveal Video
The following reveals were included as part of a larger podcast recording happening over on Twitch, but the crew has also distilled them into a separate YouTube video that you can find shared below. It's well worth a watch and listen for all the extra details and insights contained within!
What are your thoughts on this set of upcoming Mercenaries?

Loving every single one that's been revealed and enjoying the gimmicks they're playing around with.
Also some of the mercs coming with a Battlecry effect right out the gate is neat. Can't wait to see what adjustments are coming to old mercs, either.
