Arthas is Your Lich King! Knights of the Frozen Throne Missions Information Roundup
We're seeing some information trickle out about the upcoming Expansion's Mission/Adventure content! Check out everything from this weekend so far down below.
- The Lich King will be manned by Arthas, not Bolvar.
- Some bosses or villians you fight during the Missions will also be featured in collectible cards.
- Missions will be harder than usual, but not every fight will be on the same level as Heroic bosses were.
- The prologue will see you fight with a pre-made deck.
- You'll see 2 wings with 6 bosses total after the Prologue. The Lich King is then in the third and final wing.
- The final battle against The Lich King will be different based on which class you choose to play.
- If you defeat The Lich King with all 9 classes, you will receive a special reward.
- They haven't meme'd up The Lich King. He's cold and cruel just like in Warcraft.

Quote from Ben BrodeHow hard will Ice Crown Citadel "adventure" be compared with old adventures? E.g normal is 0% and Heroic is 100%. 25% 50%? 75%?
Depends on the mission. Should be more of a challenge than old normal.
But not as hard as heroic?
Not for most of the fights. (Source)
Will the Lich King in Hearthstone be Bolvar or Arthas?
Arthas (Source)
Yeah, Kel'Thuzzad was just stupid.
Hearthstone become noticeably more Light-hearted after Blackrock though, can't really contest that except for maybe WoToG, but there were still some silly elements
Well he was kind of fun. But I for one am glad we won't see one of WOW's most intimidating villian being turned into a joke.
My body is ready!
I hope Lord Marrowgar will be a collectible card... BONESTOOOOOORM!!!
And also The Lich King & Sindragosa please!
So to get 1 pack per wing you have to beat AI that is almost as "unfair" as heroic level, because they still didnt manage to fix the AI?
I mean i enjoy packs...but only 1 per wing? Thats almost as awesome as the "100g for a complete classic set".
And before those "you cry about free stuff" people come in...
How does that help new players to get their free packs?
How how is 1 pack per wing a great reward? I get more when i just pick the right person to win a turnament giveaway
The post states the prologue is done with premade decks.
That means noobs & pros play with a deck that has been tested and thus qualified to beat the bosses. Also if you beat the whole thing you get a random legendary hero card. Also we currently have double gold which means you can save up twice as much for the next week still. ALSO you're guaranteed to get a legendary in the first 10 cardpacks.
why is everyone so unbelievably greedy?
I just cant wait for all those legendaries whoch were famous characters. Just be it the Lich King!! Prince Keleseth was a lready a dungeon and raid boss, that gives us hopes
Having a special reward for defeating Lich King with all classes is a smart move on their part it adds longevity to the content and is more rewarding to players that put in the time. They should continue down this path for future expansions.
But it is probably another cardback.
I don't think it's a cardback. They said that it's really something very special, and they couldn't spoil it in the interview. I expect a new hero skin
It'll be the equivalent of the Heroic mode card back for adventures in all likelihood. But it might be something useful, like an additional Death Knight or maybe some packs.
It'd be great if they gave out every Hero Card for this content.
I love the way they are doing the new adventure content. Rewarding players for playing the single player stuff and providing it to everyone is the best.
