League of Explorers Wing 2 Launches Tomorrow - Boss Info & Cards, Season 2 CDC Finalist Voting

League of Explorers Wing 2 Launches Tomorrow

The second wing of The League of Explorers, Hearthstone's third Adventure, launches tomorrow (Thursday, possibly Friday in EU) and although we don't know the exact release time of it, we can certainly check out what we're going to be up against!

If you don't want to be spoiled, don't read on! The information below on the second wing bosses can be helpful in the creation of decks to combat them quickly if you're aiming to beat all your friends, and the ladder, to the new cards.

Boss Abilities

Each fight has different specific cards assigned to them. Unfortunately, we won't know all the details going in, but at least you can get a glimpse of some of the mechanics we'll be playing against for each fight to help tune your initial decks.

Chieftain Scarvash has two Hero Powers, which cycle at the start of his turn. He will increase the cost of either your minions or spells depending on the turn. Normal difficulty this adds 2 mana to the base mana cost of the card type, but on heroic, it will set that cards mana cost to 11 regardless of the base cost.

The Mine Cart fight is much like last week's Temple Escape fight where you needed to defeat an encounter by surviving a number of turns. Below we've got all the fun cards you'll encounter within this scenario. 

It doesn't look like this fight will give you decisions, unless they come in through some sort of Discover mechanic that isn't tied to a special in-game card. We'll have more information on the fight tomorrow.

Archaedas summons statues for both players each turn. On Normal, this statue is defined as a 0/2 Earthen Statue, but on Heroic, it simply states Statue.  Any type of buff which can give these minions attack or taunt will allow you to make something out of nothing.

Oh, and not only will you need to watch out for stats he buffs his own board with, but you also need to be aware he can hit you in the face with damage based off how many statues are on the entire field.
