A Co-Op Brawl This Week - A New Year Bash
The party is here! Work together with another player to decorate the tavern and kickoff a New Year's party!
No idea why we're celebrating a new year... in August. Oh well, enjoy your free Classic pack.
Trivia
- This is a brand new brawl in name.
- This brawl is the same as "A Mammoth of a New Year" which we saw late March 2017.
- Party Crasher auto-attacks contribute to progress on the Deal 100 Damage to Enemy Heroes daily quest.
How it Works
- No deck creation this time, you get to play as either Valeera the Rogue or Malfurion the Druid - chosen at random when the game starts.
- If either of you get low, try and toss some heals out. Use them wisely!
- The game ends when one of you die. Don't die!
Phase 1
- Your initial goal is for you and your partner to decorate the party. You do this by using your Hero Power to add decorations.
- The Hero Power uses all your currently available Mana to go towards the decorations. In total, you must spend 25 mana together.
- In this phase, Party Crashers (4 mana 3/5 with Taunt) will spawn each turn. They attack face so deal with them.
- Once the party has been decorated, a Boss (Pinata Golem) will spawn. He cannot be targeted by spells.
- Don't use all your hard removal in this phase. The crashers are pretty easy to deal with and don't hurt as hard as they do in Phase 2!
Phase 2
- The boss spawns! He has 85 Health that you must take out together with your partner.
- Your hero power has changed! You can now spend 2 mana to deal 3 damage to the boss.
- The Party Crashers continue to spawn but now.. now they gain +2/+2!
- Do not under any circumstance fill your board. You want to have a slot open, otherwise, you get board cleared to make room the boss.
- Sometimes you will receive a treat when attacking the Pinata. These can help you draw cards, heal, or destroy Party Crashers.
- There is an AoE that goes out which deals 2 damage to everything that isn't a Party Crasher. Seems to happen either early on or later.
Discuss This Week's Brawl
We've got a thread up on our Tavern Brawl forums if you want to discuss strategies and such!
There's a special place for you ... ^^
Wait, you can go face in this brawl? How?
Stop lying. You can't attack the opponent.
But you can use removal on his board and watch him die slowly and painfully.
Same here. Added him to friends just to say I’m sorry.
I should have done that.
FYI to all...to complete Phase 1, 1 person needs to reach 25 decorations. Sometimes you'll hit the button and see it go lower...that lower number is your PARTNER's total. So basically, it really only pays for one of you to hit the decorations buttons as whoever hits it first, spawns the pinata for both.
It took me 2 matches to figure that out.
Am I the only one who hates this kind of Brawl? I have people on the friendlist just to do the occasional Quest and 90% of the time I play the Brawl only to get the pack so having not only to play a long game but also to deal with people that seem to be unable to read is just frustrating.... I really wish these Brawls awarded you the pack even if you lost....
I agree. Pack should be awarded for dealing w/ another player that is clueless!!
Druids, try to hold off on Healing Touch to give Rogue a chance to get Galliwyx down to copy it. Try to mana-ramp both players and push the Jades hard. 8/8's or better get to swing twice at the boss which is huge.
I was hoping for Mechazod. You know Blizzard, because of the whole mech expansion thing? No? Ok then.
"Oh well, enjoy your free Classic pack."
At least we get 40 dust.
Happy Xmas everyone. Don't forget to take well care of those eggs.
And please don't try to wipe out those 4 leaf clovers.
And my first 'partner' didn't realize it's a co-op brawl....
Edit: looks like that's a common issue today!
Free pack is always welcome though it would have been nice if it had been a BDP pack :)
King Mukla and "partner" puts bananas on Party Crashers... sigh...
Yep. Same with me. Thought I would stick it out but then he Naturalized my Beast and I just conceded. So frustrating
I realize the decoration was lower than it should be. First i tought it was a bug, then i realize it was getting lower by 3 each time the taunt deal damage to a hero. Idk if blizz wanted to be like this or was just a bug

Wouldn't you think it'd be stated at all? Or hinted at? There's nothing in-game or about it that says that the Party Crashers would lower the decorations. It sure wasn't like that in the previous iteration.
I find co-op brawls quite frustrating so I'm not happy to see this popping up again. Why not give us the deck recipe brawl instead (like people wish at the start of every expansion)?
