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!
you can!
I feel like other coop brawls were cooler, and most importantly, more coop
PLEASE BLIZZARD...NEVER AGAIN!!!
I hope they put this brawl to rest and never bring it back.
Soooo painful to waste time waiting for just the right card draw and an intelligent partner for 5 matches.
Lul, single account plebs.
So, my opponent and I worked together and I got the kill hit in on the Pinata... And my opponent's face exploded.
Did he lose? I don't understand...
Same experience here, no explanation either...
Well, I did this brawl with friend. At end after win he saw me losing and I saw his face destroyed, so i guess its prank
We both got our packs so no one lost since we worked together to win
i think opponent face exploding is hard coded into winning animation
asked my opponent. each sees the other "die" but both win.
I HATE those co-op brawls! The first guy i've faced didn't used their Hp to complete the first phase and the second one throws Healing at the 3/5 minions for some reason.
Jesus Christ! Some in game explanation at least..
Been impossible to find a real co-op game
So as Rogue I play the card, "At the start of your opponents turn they have a 50% chance to draw an extra card" followed by "Gain 1+1 whenever your opponent draws a card".
The druid has 4 cards in hand at this point.
So what does he do?
Naturalizes me!
I'm not sure if it's the brawl that's stupid this week, or the players? Jeez Louise!
Did it on the second try but oh my God was this an awful brawl.
Oh man I was going after my partner for at least four turns before I realized what I was doing. :-/ thank god he was smart and we still won. Sorry IlluMin!!!
It's literally impossible in EU, everyone keeps destroying my minions and doing face damage
Just done it on EU - 1st try ... you were unlucky ;)
I was, for 8 times in a row.
Then i played with a Russian guy and he knew what to do.
Utter garbage for this weeks brawl... This is just another example of team 5 failing to use the brawl to hype/promote the latest expansion... we should be playing brawls with new cards all month. Although maybe the marketing team was turned into chickens like Peter Whalen.
Speak the truth fellow Hearthstoner! We havent had a proper introduction brawl since TGT
I beat the crap out of the Druid.
Then realized as we both died that it was co-op.
