Hearthstone’s new version will be updated with the Death Knight profession. I believe many old buddies who have played Warcraft will definitely be familiar with it. However, for players who have only played Hearthstone, their impression of Death Knight may only be based on Hearthstone-derived content such as Lich King and Ice Crown Fortress. So today I will talk to you about the background story of Death Knight from the perspective of the Death Knight's profession design. It is considered a newcomer's literacy and help you have a simple understanding of Death Knight.
Death Knight is called dk (Death knight), a warrior who uses rune weapons and has a skeleton warrior mount and masters dark spells in the World of Warcraft setting.
Death Knight was first created by Gul'dan to Orgrim Destruction Hammer to act as a powerful tribal warrior. These death knights are creatures similar to puppets born to place the souls of the killed Shadow Council warlock into the body of the Stormwind Knight who died in battle.
Heartstone's Blood Demon is the first death knight to appear in the history of the monster. Unlike the Death Knights of the Disaster Legion today, these Death Knights belong to the category of psychic mages. The main attack method is to fight for the undead servants by resurrecting the bodies of the dead soldiers of the enemy.
However, most of these death knights were destroyed by humans during and after World War II, and some were transformed into lichs.
The Death Knights I see now are more of the fallen Silver Hand Knights, Archerus' Death Knights and other members, and they are also the core of the Death Knights of Warcraft.
Back to Hearthstone, this new Death Knight profession update gives the profession's exclusive rune mechanisms, namely Blood, Frost and Evil. These three runes correspond to the three specialties of the Death Knight in World of Warcraft.
is first of all, blood. The blood specialization belongs to the Death Knight's tank specialization. It mainly strengthens the Death Knight's melee spells, weapons and skills, and is characterized by excellent recovery ability.
Like this Death Knight's new card, Vampire Blood, belongs to this type of recovery card.
and Frost Specialty is the enhancement of the Death Knight's offensive route, focusing on strengthening critical strikes and various damages, and also has certain control effects.
So like Hearthstone's updated Death Knight Frost spells have stable damage and have a certain freezing effect. At the same time, the Frost Dragon is also a representative card of the Death Knight series, and its characteristics are quite significant.
The final evil specialization is mainly a series strengthened by AOE spell damage and summoning ghouls such as key combat puppets.
So Hearthstone's evil series cards updated this time mostly fight by summoning ghouls and matching corpses. The corpse is basically a derivative produced by the minion after death, which corresponds to the characteristic of the Death Knight gaining new life after death. Powerful corpses will become death knights, while those who are not qualified will become ghoul food.
corpses will also be accumulated in special resources, and can play more tricks with skills. In general, the design of the Death Knight this time is quite good. The new corpse mechanism combined with the card with the resurrection corpse trigger effect should be quite reasonable. It is also very similar to the Death Knight in Warcraft. I look forward to the launch of a new profession~
