Hearthstone Mercenaries is now live! Log in now to see one of Hearthstone’s biggest updates ever, and play Hearthstone like you’ve never played it before! Mercenaries is Hearthstone’s newest game mode! Mercenaries combines permanent RPG progression, roguelike elements, and iconic Hearthstone characters into a new, free-to-play Hearthstone experience. Form a Party of your favorite characters and set out on a Bounty, adventure awaits! In Mercenaries, you form a Party of up to 6 Mercenaries instead of a deck of cards. You can then take that Party in to the Travel Point in order to hunt a Bounty, or to the Fighting Pit for single-fight combat. When fighting, up to 3 of Mercenaries are active while the rest wait on the Bench, ready to jump in when one of your active Mercs falls. In combat, lock-in your team’s moves and then watch as both teams automatically battle it out! With different Roles, Abilities, and Equipment for over 50 launch Mercenaries (and more to come), there are countless ways to personalize and empower your Party! You can learn more about Mercenaries combat in the Gameplay Blog, and more about the game’s progression systems in the Village/Gameplay Blog. Complete the Mercenaries tutorial and introductory missions and get eight free Mercenaries to start your journey. That’s more than enough to form your first Party and start chasing Bounties! You will also get login rewards and access to a Legendary Quest chain that will award a total of six free Mercenaries Packs! But that’s not all! Twitch Drops are back to celebrate the launch of Mercenaries! Watch 2 hours of any Hearthstone stream between 10 a.m. October 15 and 10 p.m. October 17 and you’ll earn a free Mercenaries Pack! Watch two more hours (four total) to earn another! Remember, every Mercenaries Pack comes with at least one new Mercenary until you’ve collected all Mercenaries from that rarity tier, so your collection will grow quickly with those first packs! Play through the Mercenaries introductory missions and start up a Bounty to earn a free Sarge mount for your World of Warcraft account! Ride around Azeroth on this cute critter to show your Hearthstone pride! Learn more. Finally, to celebrate the launch of Hearthstone Mercenaries, we have two great new bundles, available at launch! The Mercenaries Welcome Bundle is a small introductory bundle, including 10 Mercenaries Pack and one random Legendary Mercenary.

Frequently Asked Questions
One Big Minus for Blizzard, that we did not get 1 extra booster for Standart expansion. If player are not interested in Merchanties mode.
Good thing the drops are merc packs, saved me 4 hours!
I mean... I for one am very much enjoying Mercenaries despite my scepticism.
I even threw 2 quid Blizzards way for a legendary and 10 packs (I've not spent anything since Goblins vs Gnomes).
And I know I could play one of the many other game modes (for free) if I didn't enjoy it. So there's that.
Good thing we have a billion bundles, but quests don't proc. I played three games with Nozdormu for nothing.
Bundles. Bundles everywhere!
So far, I don't like the fact that the vast majority of PVE battles are completely unbalanced. I either win without any challenge or I lose without any chance.
Perhaps starting from 3 dungeons, at level 30, the situation is different. But first you need to bring all the mercenaries to level 30, and this is a stupid grind.
Gezz pvp mode sucks for this. The matches are never even close, it's always a stomp.
Won my first 7 rounds with F2P heroes (rares). Dawn, Cornel, Tawish, Kurt, the Witch and Samuro. You know that when "Your opponent" is your enemy its vs a bot right?
The Mercenaries button is still not clickable (just glows blue) on any region, 18 hours after it was supposed to be "Live". PC. Don't even care for this game-mode, but neither do the team5, apparently.
Had the same issue, had to go through the tutorial on mobile, then i could start it on PC as well, but before it the button was useless.
Dont downwote him, its a real issue...
Had the same issue on mobile, needed to uninstall and reinstall app for it to work
Actually it's not live on Android.
It is live, and has been for a while, but you have to go to the app store and update it there manually.
How long can it take to press the LIVE Button for every Region? For me in germany it still says soon. Last time i preordered
Now it is working. Had to manuelly Update. Couldn't they tell.
Couldn’t pay me to play this trash, packs from this game mode better not end up replacing real packs.
You get coins for mercenaries you don't even own yet! It feels absolutely terrible.
those are to craft those, i thought that is obvious, duh.
You would never want to craft them with the coins, because then they're behind the curve on ability upgrades. THAT is obvious.
We wrote in every article on this website that coins were not explained well for consumers. This is the first issue. Only the first.
