Bosses

Blackrock Mountain logo.png
See more: Boss

Each boss is a computer opponent with their own unique cards and hero powers, designed to be "tough, unique, and interesting" encounters that introduce new strategic elements, forcing you to "change how you play". Blackrock Mountain will feature 17 bosses in total, spread across 5 wings. For a list of confirmed boss encounters, see the above table.

Bosses use a combination of unique hero powers, regular collectible cards (including class cards from any or multiple classes), and special boss cards which are not available for players to collect, equipped with unbalanced effects described as "totally unfair ... totally brutal". Boss decks are built from the standard 30 cards, but like Arena decks are not subject to the 2-copies-per-card limit found in constructed play, in some cases containing as many as 10 copies of a given card.

Blackrock Mountain bosses can be faced in Normal or Heroic mode, and in some cases as part of Class Challenges. Normal mode is the default for playing adventures, designed to allow players of all abilities to participate in and complete the adventure. Bosses in Heroic mode use the Heroic Blackrock Mountain card back.

List

Most of the bosses are listed in the above table, along with their place in the adventure`s structure. Be that as it may, the table does not list the names of several bosses, either because their names are not used as the title for their encounter, or because they are secondary bosses within their encounter. The missing bosses are:

Initially assumed to be a boss, the adventure`s data also includes a removed Chromatic Dragonkin replacement hero, part of an earlier version of the Chromaggus encounter.

Heroic mode

"Turn around mortal! You are testing powers you do not understand."
"The denizens of Blackrock Mountain are back, but this time they`re bringing their A-game. Heroic missions are VERY difficult! Not for the faint of heart."

Blackrock Mountain includes a Heroic mode, featuring "ridiculously unfair and overpowered" versions of the adventure`s bosses. Heroic bosses generally require the crafting of very specific decks with the singular aim of defeating that particular boss, and even then may take several attempts and some very lucky draws in order to be defeated.

Heroic mode can be unlocked for each wing through defeating all bosses in that wing in normal mode. Defeating all Heroic bosses will earn the player a special card back The Collection s Card Backs tab Some of the game s card backs Card backs are a feature which allows players to replace the standard design on the reverse of their cards with alternate designs. Players can hearthstone .

Class Challenges

See more: Blackrock Mountain Class Challenges

Blackrock Mountain features 9 new Class Challenges, one for each class. Like those in Curse of Naxxramas, each sees the player pitted against a specific boss, using a special pre-made deck tailored to that class. Completing each Class Challenge rewards the player with 2 copies of a new class-specific card for that class. Class Challenges are unlocked by defeating all bosses in the corresponding wing in normal mode. Class Challenges do not have Heroic mode versions.

Class Challenges use predetermined decks, which are not revealed in full to the player at any point. These decks are the usual 30 cards, but like the Arena, are not subject to the 2-copies-per-card limit found in constructed play. Each Class Challenge (with the exception of the Mage Class Challenge) features the card rewarded, and may also use other cards from the adventure which are not yet available to the player.

Class Challenge decks usually have specific themes, and often serve to specifically demonstrate how the reward card can be used to great effect, such as by including several other cards with which it has good synergy. This synergy often extends to the hero powers and cards used by the Challenge`s boss.

For decklists and strategies for each Class Challenge, see Blackrock Mountain Class Challenges.

Access

Each wing of the adventure must be purchased with gold The gold counter, found in the bottom right corner of most menu screens Gold is a type of in-game currency that can be exchanged for card packs, or entry into either Arena or Heroic Tavern hearthstone or real money. Once a player has purchased a wing, that wing will stay available unlocked, and can be replayed as frequently and as many times as desired. Blackrock Mountain is also only accessible to players who have unlocked all 9 classes.

While the adventure itself must be purchased before it can be played, all cards from the adventure are automatically available for selection in Arena, and through effects like Unstable Portal and Piloted Sky Golem, regardless of whether the player has yet collected them or purchased the related wing.

Pricing

Players can purchase wings using either gold The gold counter, found in the bottom right corner of most menu screens Gold is a type of in-game currency that can be exchanged for card packs, or entry into either Arena or Heroic Tavern hearthstone or real money. "Bundle" discounts are offered if purchasing all remaining locked wings at one time using real money.

Note while players can purchase a variable number of wings, all options above a single wing involve buying all remaining wings. For instance, it is not possible to use real money to purchase the first 3 wings, and then buy the final 2 wings later; in order to buy multiple wings using real money, the player must buy all remaining wings. It is however possible to buy individual wings, and later buy all remaining wings at once.

Players can hearthstone . As pre-ordering has now closed, that card back is no longer obtainable by players.

Cards

Blackrock Mountain features 31 new collectible Collectible cards are cards which are available for players to collect and use in their decks. The majority of all playable cards are collectible cards. Players can view their collectible card collection through the collection cards, including 18 collectible class cards (2 for each class) and 13 collectible neutral cards, as well as 7 uncollectible cards (Fandral Staghelm later added an 8th) and a new replacement hero and Hero Power. Blackrock Mountain cards can be recognised by a special marking (a series of peaks, separated by jagged lava flows) behind the card text, not found on other cards.

Neutral Blackrock Mountain cards and half of the class cards are obtained by defeating individual bosses in Normal mode, while the other half of the Blackrock Mountain class cards are obtained through completing Class Challenges.

Once the player has obtained the regular version of a Blackrock Mountain card, they will be able to craft and disenchant both regular and golden versions of that card for regular crafting amounts.

All cards are available for selection in the Arena, regardless of whether the player has purchased or completed the corresponding wing.

Themes

Blackrock Mountain key art

Blackrock Mountain features a number of themes. Some are major elements of the adventure, while others are simply new traits found on a handful cards.

Rise of the Dragons

The adventure introduced the first synergies with the Dragon minion type:

All Dragon-synergies featured in the adventure involve effects which are triggered by the player holding a Dragon minion card in their hand when the card in question is played. A strategic point is that the successful activation of these effects will signal to the opponent that the player has a Dragon in their hand, although which Dragon or Dragons will not be revealed.

The adventure features several Dragon minions:

Fire elementals

In Blackrock Mountain: A Hearthstone Adventure, heroes can challenge some of Molten Core⃢₀ₙs most notorious elemental malcontents and recruit elemental minions into service for their own collections. Elementals are powerful beings closely linked to the power of the elemental plane they hail from, and when one of these beings is on your Hearthstone board, they⃢₀ₙre sure to have a potent effect.

Fire elementals are a strong presence in Blackrock Mountain, especially in the adventure`s second wing, the Molten Core.

Volcanic Lumberer appears to be a non-fire-based elemental which is on fire.

Cards

Blackrock Mountain added a total of 31 new cards. Blackrock Mountain is the first time subtype Dragon has synergy cards such as Rend Blackhand.
