Defeating the Lich King with all Classes Gives You the Playable Hero Arthas
Today, Dave Kosak had a quick Hearthside Chat with the community and not only did he reveal three cards, but he also revealed some new information in the video. Check out the three card reveals, which includes Bolvar, Fireblood, in our dedicated post.
- If you defeat the Lich King with every class, you will unlock Prince Arthas as a playable Paladin hero.
- Instead of making the Lich King goofy, they went for the "breaking the fourth" wall approach.
- He cheats! Every class has a different kind of encounter with the Lich King.
- Mages are set to 1 Health at the start.
- Paladins, he's got a grudge against you. If your minions die, they end up on his side of the field.
- Not confirmed but the Priest hero is silent in the video. Possibly you can't cast spells as Priest during the encounter?
- The Lich King is really good at Hearthstone and his dialog reflects it.
- "You play cards the way my Father ran his kingdom. Weakly."
- "Hahaha - THAT's my opener!"
I want my darn Warlock sin alreadyyyy!!!!!!!
Warrior's have an alt hero. Bronzebeard.
Medivh is both card and a hero so can Varian be.
Um, so I think I might know how to beat the Lich King boss fight with Mage really easily. From what we saw in the video, the Lich King casts a spell known as "The True Lich" for 1 mana that sets the opponents (you) to 1. If you played Kabal Lackey into Mana Bind before he plays the spell, you could potentially use the same spell against him and win on turn 2.
30 armor hello ???
You can't win on turn 2. Because Lichking has 30 Armor. If you use it against him, he will be 1 hp with 30 armor
still ded
I had my doubts with the early presentations but this looks awesome. First time being hyped for an expansion in a long time.
Wish they showed Arthas animated. Will he be once you get him or only when you've reached golden pally?
Glad you could bake it, Uther.
Definitely one of my favourite threads. For those not in the know:

Arthas: Glad you could bake it, Uther.
Uther: Watch your tone with me, boy. You may be the waiter, but I'm still your superior as a chef.
Arthas: As if I could forget. Listen, Uther, there's something about the cake you should know.
Arthas: Oh no. It's too late. These muffins have all been overgrazed. They may look fine now, but it's a matter of time before they turn into paperweights.
Uther: What?
Arthas: This entire buffet must be purged.
Uther: How can you even consider that? There's got to be some other way.
Arthas: Damn it, Uther. As your future sous-chef I order you to purge this buffet.
Uther: You are not my sous-chef yet, boy. Nor would I obey that command if you were!
Arthas: Then I must consider this an act of work misconduct.
Uther: Misconduct? Have you lost your mind, Arthas?
Arthas: Have I? Lord Uther, by my right of succession and sovereignty of my spatula, I hereby relieve you from your command and suspend your chefs from service.
Jaina: Arthas, you can't just...
Arthas: It's done! Those of you who have the will to save this restaurant, follow me. The rest of you... get out of my sight.
Uther: You've just crossed a terrible union, Arthas
Arthas: Jaina?
Jaina: I'm sorry, Arthas. I can't watch you cook this.
Which is derived from Warcraft III when Arthas goes to purge Stratholme
Which makes an appearance in World of Warcraft in one of the best dungeons ever just because of this scene. (Starts at 3:30, music is way too loud though imo)
Ticking abomination is gong to be the new mvp as paladin vs the lich king.
yeah its cool and free and everything, but why paladin. we already got one alternative hero
Arthas is one of the most iconic paladin out there. If we speak about the Lich King it is obvious to mention Arthas too. :) They told earlier that they work on a druid and a warock hero so it is nice to have an extra one.
Arthas was a young paladin of no real renown besides his lineage, he gained infamy as a death knight, not a paladin. That being said I think this is better than having him as a minion because players would want Arthas to stick around longer than a standard format lifespan.
