Zephrys Fixes Revealed.
Celestalon, Developer on Team 5 for Hearthstone, recently went on the Angry Chicken Podcast to speak about Zephrys the Great. Not only did he have a lot of interesting things to say about how the card came to be and the inner workings, but he also shared a few things about upcoming fixes. With the Balance Changes coming next Monday, August 26th there are going to be several fixes to Zephrys as well. He has learned how to better deal with Weapons and Hero Powers and several cards that were not showing up in specific situations will do so now.
Celestalon's comments about the Zephrys changes start at 5:33 in the full podcast linked below, for those wanting to hear them from the man himself, but here's the bullet points we've summarized:
- They are smartening Zephrys the Great up in a few different ways.
- He's getting way smarter on the Weapon Removal. Give him 2 mana leftover and the opponent has a weapon, he'll probably offer you Acidic Swamp Ooze now.
- The Weapon Removal was supposed to work that way already, there were just bugs involved.
- He knows that he should get rid of 0 attack weapons now.
- There were a bunch of cards that were not offered in the appropriate situation, like Holy Fire, Avenging Wrath, Bloodsail Corsair
- There's quite a few cards that are fixed that will get offered now when the time is right. They still won't be super common.
- Zephrys is a little bit more interested in board control now.
Near the end of the podcast, during the viewer questions segment, Celestalon also hints that there might be a Tavern Brawl coming, based on the technology that makes Zephrys work!
Here's the podcast in full. It's definitely worth watch/listen, as Celestalon goes into detail about the creation process of the card in ways that had not been revealed before.
Agree. Realize its a game and you are doing it in your spare time. No one cares about you bitching on these boards. Certainly no one comes wanting to read it.
Worst card concept design ever!
Look at all these salty ass wipes complaining about the game in general, on a post about one of the most fun cards to have been created since launch. The game is over 5 years old now, and if you still play it and get thís angry at it, just find a game that's better for you.
For the love of Old Gods, let us be in peace on this forum, instead of spitting out your toxicity every chance you get.
I love how in GM Hunterace manipulated Zephrys with 1 mana left to get Inner Fire for his Kalecgos. 1 mana + 8 damage this turn. I was miles from thinking about this option ! This card is so fun to mess with.
Zephyrs the Smart
Jesus Christ, learn some fucking grammar, and get the fuck outta here with your bs. "Top 4 legend, im a heartstone god, look at me, i know better than you". You are either a master baiter or just straight up retarded mate. In any case, you should stop.
Will he keep missing lethal though? There's been various occasions where's he's missed a savage roar, or blood lust lethal.
He's also terrible at offering you a silence (0 mana, 2 mana, 3 mana), even when there's a minion buffed with over +10/+10.
really? i never missed a lethal with him, if the life total is on range, it always gives BL
He always give lethal. but he also only look at the card/info that both players know about. so if for example you have a fireball in hand for lethal after the roar he won't give you savage roar since it doesn't know you have it so it better to fireball 1st. even if he give you roar and you openent have flame trap that kills your board to stop lethal he will still give roar or flare. it also doesn't consider effects like a taunt with lifesteal in lethal, he will see the taunt but not the lifesteal.
he also does not know the effect of all the card. he only know what weapon, secret,taunt, charge, and deathrattle is and he doesn't know what deathrattle, weapons and secrets do only that a card is it. but he can see a weapons durability and attack value. It also seem that he doesn't know if you already attacked that turn.
what did you expect from Hearthstone? Chess? Its a kids card game with RNG that we all LOVE and HATE. NObody cares if you go, but stop pretending you are, cuz your obviously just salty at the time you posted this, and we all know your not really leaving. Theres a forum for that salt on here you know.
You think it's a kids game because it had a mobile version?
It's a kids game because they're changing the art for children
And rating is 6+ :).
I'm tempted to dust my golden Luna's Pocket Galaxy to craft a golden Zephrys the Great. Should I?
Man, perfect card every single time.
wait for the nerfs, Luna's Pocket Galaxy will give full refund soon.
Yo its the guy that plays World of Warcraft on a tablet
for me, zephry is most of the time a nether at turn 10^^
Except that they won’t activate since your deck will be filled with dups
then dissable decks and add a zep to your hand at the end of each turn, brawl.
