In the early morning of November 2, Hearthstone ushered in a press conference. This press conference is not just a simple promotion of new expansion packages, but the new profession that everyone is looking forward to is here! Hearthstone's 11th profession - Death Knight!
As early this year, foreign journalists revealed that there was a new professional DK at the end of the year. There were various hints in the past week that Blizzard even launched the Hearthstone statue of the Lich King. They chose to join a new career in the third expansion pack of the long snake year, which means that the new content in the next version is very many years, otherwise the strength of the DK is far less than that of the blind man. The name of the new expansion pack of
is March of the Lich King, translated in Chinese as "The Lich King's Advance", 145 new cards, including the first neutral legendary magic Sunwell, 10 old professions and neutral are 135 cards, and the new version of DK has 10 cards, and the total expansion pack is 145 new cards. In addition, there are 32 core cards of DK and 26 long-headed snake year cards. There are 68 cards when DK is launched. The new cards in the core series are free, so this card pool should be able to form several ideas.
DK profession is unlocked through a free prologue called PVE of the Road of Alsace. It is similar to the way the blind man started when he first went online, directly unlocking new professions and DK profession cards. DK's heroic skill is Ghoul Charge, spending 2 mana points to summon a 1/1 charge Ghoul, and Ghoul dies at the end of the round. DK profession features include body recycling mechanisms and a brand new rune system.
First talk about the corpse recycling mechanism. DK obtains corpses when a friend’s minion dies. It can strengthen the cards by consuming corpses, which is equivalent to a new game resource. The second mechanism is the rune system. DK has three runes, Blood Frost Evil, which represent a specialized power and brings special construction rules.
DK brings a new minion type "Dead". They add race tags to hundreds of minions in the previous expansion package, and even some minions will obtain dual minion types, which become the race before the Undead. If there is a dead soul in the last round or this round, some additional effects may be triggered. The regeneration mechanism reverts to the standard environment and, as a resident keyword, can bring more corpses. The new keyword of this version of
is mana craving. Simply put, when your mana crystal reaches a certain amount, cards with mana craving mechanism will trigger additional effects, and the card can be strengthened in the corresponding turn.
Each new expansion pack will get 1 orange card for free. This version is Well of the Sun, which is Hearthstone's first neutral magic card. Similar to awakening, you can use spells to fill your hands. Although it costs up to 9 yuan, it comes with a fee reduction mechanism.
Blizzard has launched a new card type from the 25.0 patch, that is, the strange drawing card, and the border of the strange drawing card changes with the theme of the expansion package. The strange drawing cards cannot be made or decomposed, and can only be obtained through card packs and special channels. After the new version is launched, 18 unique cards are brought, 15 are orange cards, 2 of which are obtained through passes, and 3 non-orange cards are free for the event. There are 2 random orange cards for the novel paintings in the pre-order of
488, and the golden bag of tranquil paintings also has the opportunity to issue a novel painting card. It is worth mentioning that whether it is 488 or 388 pre-order, it can be purchased within one week of the new card being launched. You will not miss the pre-order card pack. The pre-order skin is the hunter hero Lothema.
New jewelry types also have legendary skins, the characters in the legendary skin are 3D moving, and various customized character animations. The first legendary hero skin is Death Knight, the familiar Alsace skin, which will be available on November 9, but it will not be available until the version will be updated on December 7.
To celebrate the Lich King's joining the game, the "Knight of the Frozen Throne" expansion pack will return to standard mode for a limited time and will be part of the core series until "The Lich King's Advance" is launched. With Halloween themed activities, more quest rewards will be provided, and the exclusive quest panel is very clear.
Overall, the design of the new profession is still more interesting than the blind man. It is more restored to the theme of the Death Knight. You have to play with the balance before you know it. The theme of the new version is that the Lich King makes a comeback and leads the army of undead to raid Silver Moon City. The elves fight against undead will be the focus.
