The Prologue: Playthrough and Screenshots
The Prologue consists of 4 separate fights against:
- Azzinoth as Illidan Stormrage, the Mage.
- Xavius as Illidan Stormrage, Mage with Demon Hunter Hero Power.
- Mannoroth as Illidan Stormrage, Demon Hunter.
- Cenarius as Illidan Stormrage, Demon Hunter and Outcast.
Playthrough
Fight 1: Azzinoth as Illidan Stormrage, the Mage. Azzinoth has a basic Demon deck and can equip the Warglaives of Azzinoth. He has a Manaburn spell like Demon Hunters get. Fairly straightforward fight, use your freezes smartly to prevent him from attacking and you should have no problem with him.
Fight 2: Xavius as Illidan Stormrage, Mage with DH Hero Power. For this fight you have to kill 30 minions in Co-op style with Xavius. It's a co-op fight with 1 side playing cards and the other side having the active Demonic Elementals, with at End of Turn the roles switching. Xavius plays some useful Lifesteal minions. Using those should keep you alive long enough to tag team the Demonic Elementals with Xavius. Once the fight is done Sargeras, the leader of the Burning Legion Demonic army, turns you into a half Demon with Spectral Sight as a "reward".
Fight 3: Mannoroth as Illidan Stormrage, DH. You have to kill a 40 health Mannoroth, who brings out ever bigger and badder demons, mostly with your weapons and attack synergy cards. You do get some help from Malfurion Stormrage, the Druid hero and your brother, who gives you some Treants in the starting few turns. Once done you pick up a Vial of water from the Well of Eternity, turning Malfurion against you.
Fight 4: Cenarius as Illidan Stormrage, DH and Outcast. You have to kill Cenarius who uses a host of Druid spells and minions, and creates some huge, tricky to deal with taunt minions. You have no removal so you will have to carefully use your weapons, spells and lifesteal effects to both stay alive and kill Cenarius. Once done, Illidan smirks that this is how it SHOULD have gone, but that instead he got imprisoned for TEN. THOUSAND. YEARS.
Rewards
After defeating all 4 fights, you get the rewards. The ability to start using the Demon Hunter Hero when the expansion releases, 30 Demon Hunter cards total and a Demon Hunter deck, if you had a deck slot open.

Yes after I made the decks. I now know that DH is still locked, but I want to make space in the meanwhile and delete those decks again which is impossible on mobile
Edit: They should just lock creating decks until the 7th.
I made 16 demon hunter decks and I cant use or erase them :D what do I do?
maybe go to a doctor ..? ;P
You can make the 17th. It will works for sure.
This is why they made battlegrounds! They pulled a trick on ya. You have no choice now.
At least You are prepared XD
I had the same. If you fill all 18 slots with DH, the game will delete all decks and release all slots again.
So I should fill-out my 2 remaining deckslot with DH and maybe I'll get all my deckslots back? Im not sure I should trust that...
You can either trust me or you can be stuck with only two remaining slots. I really don't care what you choose ;)
"There was an error starting your game. Please wait a few minutes and try again."
YAY!!!! /s
Ouch that's fewer missions in the prologue than I hoped for. But at least it seems we'll get a story mode later, hoping it's as good as dalaran heist was.
It's live!
Can we get demon hunter cards from classic packs from now on? Or that's after day 7?
No. There are no cards in the Classic set for Demon Hunter.
There are 3 sets:
10 card Basic Set: Get today witht he Prologue
20 card Initiate Set: Kind of the Classic set for DH. Get today with the Prologue.
15 cards from Ashes of Outlands expansion. Can open from packs on the 7th of April around the same time the Prologue launches today
You wont get DH cards from classic packs until the next year. This time around you either get them for free from the prologue or from AoO packs.
The initiate cards belong to the year of the dragon, meaning they will rotate in a year from now. Some of them might move to the classic set upon 2021 rotation assuming we're still alive by that time.
It begins.. Almost... Soon.. Hold me bros
Maybe I'm being overly optimistic but it seems like it'll be 15 total, with each of the 5 buttons leading to 3-mission pages kinda like in Galakrond's Awakening.
As far as i know you can still play him in adventures. Son you can level up those basic cards to golden ones in the meantime.
that.. would be something :D yeah
Because we get the prologue early. If not, we would get the prologue on 7th too. Be happy that we get something early, instead of moaning that we didn't get the entire expansion early lol.
