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)
hopefully something more useful like a Arthas the lich king card.
But yes probably a card back.
Glad they kept the theme close to the original World of Warcraft raid.
Hope that Arthas will be a card, and a good one, not a Bolvar or Illidan one, that would be... Sad.
Yea I hope he will be a good card. I'd really love to play it.
HYPE!!!
Makes sense that the Lich King is Arthas as they are basing it off of the icecrown raid
