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.
Slitherspear
This fight is bonkers. Slitherspear has numerous hero powers, plenty of token minions, and he appears to have an army of Naga that are starving.
- His hero powers seem evolve to summon more deadly Naga over time. This may not be the case on Heroic, where it will just be randomized.
- He has an Enrage effect which may appear when he reaches low health, but it also have something to do with how starving he is - aka turn based.
- Naga Repellent appears to be a spell you will gain during the fight to help deal with the Naga.
- You need to save Finley by killing a Cauldron which will appear at some point.
The cards associated with this fight are:
- Normal Hero Power: Enraged!
- Normal Hero Power: Getting Hungry

- Heroic: Slithering Guard
- Heroic: Naga Repellent
Giantfin
Mrglglglgl! Giantfin is a Giant Murloc! His hero power is a Murloc-flavored Divine Favor, but costs 0 mana to play. This could be used to your advantage by forcing him into fatigue fairly quickly, but Murlocs do have some pretty good synergy so things could get tough. On Heroic difficulty though, he will only draw 2 cards - how unfortunate.
Whether an Aggro deck or a Fatigue deck will be king on heroic is yet to be determined, but we do know of a disgusting ability he has available, which brings Murlocs back from the dead.
- Normal Hero Power: Mrglmrgl MRGL!
- Normal: Mrgl Mrgl Nyah Nyah
- Heroic Hero Power: Mrglmrgl MRGL!
- Heroic: Mrgl Mrgl Nyah Nyah
Lady Nazj'ar
We don't know too much about Lady Nazj'ar, but we do know she is going to be replacing all minions with brand new ones, which cost 1 more mana. RNG is going to be a major factor in this fight, and you're going to want to swarm the board early on to take advantage of the free upgrades - well on normal at least.
The fight changes on Heroic difficulty, where only her minions are going to be replaced with ones that cost 1 more mana each turn.. so you're going to want to come prepared with some form of board clear.
- Normal Hero Power: Pearl of the Tides
- Heroic Hero Power: Pearl of the Tides
EU gets the short straw again :(
As EU player I feel cheated 3rd time in a row... I payed for it same way as US players did and got to wait day more, yea seems reasonable and fair
Do timezones mean nothing to people? Did they stop teaching it in school!?
Oh look! It is the useless wing of this adventure.
you know nothing, Trolldar!
Except for Entomband Finley and maybe gorillabot , the rest are not that great.
Do I understand correctly when reading that Entomb will effectively remove any opponent's minion from the board and put it in our deck (not just a copy but the actual minion)?
yes
Looks like a very good hard removal card :)
does anyone now how Justicar will work with Mrrgglton? it would upgrade the NEW hero power, right?
if so, then imagine the possibilities when you got the warriors hero power
Why would you want Rogue Hero Power in Aggro Warrior?
I am glad Rogue finally got a beast..... ..... ...
