Announcing Battlegrounds Season 6: Spellslinger's Saloon - Spells Are Coming to Battlegrounds!

After several teases we now know the next big thing in Battlegrounds: Spells! Read all about it!

Bonus: 3 New Heroes Announced!

Quote from Blizzard

Battlegrounds Season 6, Spellslinger’s Saloon, is almost here. The Spellslinger’s Saloon is brimming with magic and new Battlegrounds Spells! Belly up to the saloon for your first look at what’s on tap in Patch 28.2.

 

New Mechanic: Spells in the Tavern

Magic flows like water in the Spellslinger’s Saloon, where Spells can now be purchased directly from the Tavern! Spells have Tavern Tiers just like minions do, but, unlike minions, they also have variable costs! Spells have their own card frame while in the Tavern, displaying both the Cost and Tavern Tier.

42 new spells will be added in Patch 28.2, across all six Tavern Tiers! Each time you Refresh the Tavern, it will include a spell of your Tier or lower on top of your normal number of minion offerings for your Tier. Just like existing spells in Battlegrounds (like Blood Gems and Triple Rewards), spells can’t be tripled and are spent once you play them. Sling your spells wisely!

 

New Minions with New Synergies

The Spellslingers Saloon is bustling with 32 all new minions! Some of these thirsty patrons have special synergies with spells.

The Undead minion type also continues to explore the power of death—including destroying minions during the Recruit phase! Use these effects for immediate bursts of power and warband updates that last from turn to turn.

 

Days of Exciting Reveals

In addition to the 32 new minions, and 42 new spells, 3 new heroes will be entering the fray! We’re also bringing back 5 returning minions and removing 33 existing minions to make room for all these new recruits. Reveals start RIGHT NOW, culminating in a special preview event the day before the patch goes live!
