Zephrys Fixes Coming Aug 26th! Weapon Removal & Hero Powers




Zephrys Fixes Revealed.

Celestalon, Developer on Team 5 for Hearthstone, recently went on the Angry Chicken Podcast to speak about Zephrys the Great. Not only did he have a lot of interesting things to say about how the card came to be and the inner workings, but he also shared a few things about upcoming fixes. With the Balance Changes coming next Monday, August 26th there are going to be several fixes to Zephrys as well. He has learned how to better deal with Weapons and Hero Powers and several cards that were not showing up in specific situations will do so now.


Celestalon's comments about the Zephrys changes start at 5:33 in the full podcast linked below, for those wanting to hear them from the man himself, but here's the bullet points we've summarized:

  • They are smartening Zephrys the Great up in a few different ways.
  • He's getting way smarter on the Weapon Removal. Give him 2 mana leftover and the opponent has a weapon, he'll probably offer you Acidic Swamp Ooze now.
  • The Weapon Removal was supposed to work that way already, there were just bugs involved.
  • He knows that he should get rid of 0 attack weapons now.
  • There were a bunch of cards that were not offered in the appropriate situation, like Holy Fire, Avenging Wrath, Bloodsail Corsair
  • There's quite a few cards that are fixed that will get offered now when the time is right. They still won't be super common.
  • Zephrys is a little bit more interested in board control now.

Near the end of the podcast, during the viewer questions segment, Celestalon also hints that there might be a Tavern Brawl coming, based on the technology that makes Zephrys work!


Here's the podcast in full. It's definitely worth watch/listen, as Celestalon goes into detail about the creation process of the card in ways that had not been revealed before.
