Purchasing the Battle Bash will immediately unlock 2 Hammers you can use to bash for random prizes in the collection. Each Top 4 finish during the Battle Bash period unlocks another Hammer.
As a special Winter Veil gift, Bob is giving all players one free Bash. That means that everyone has a random chance to get their favorite prize for free! It also means that players purchasing the Battle Bash will only need seven Top 4 finishes during the Battle Bash period to unlock all the prizes.

Enjoy and have a happy holiday season!
Battle Bash is super lame when it keeps hitting the same rewards over and over that you have already collected.
It doesn't though. You get 10 hammers and have collected everything. Then you don't get more hammers.
I just got a duplicate hit and yes it was happening in the last one and they acknowledged it.
Hmm, that's interesting. It didn't happen for me. I wonder if it is a bug that only happens sometimes or if the chance increases the more you have unlocked.
It's bad nevertheless.
Nice! 2 legendaries! Are these packs cheated? :D
Same!
That's sus..
Same here, one golden
yep, rigged af, got 1 epic in 10 packs lmao I really begin to hate this game
Meh, nothing worthwhile
Well that was a disappointing pack opening. Not a single epic or legendary. Nevertheless, 10 free packs is a nice gift.
nice!
1 legendary, 3 epics and one of them golden, nice.
Already have all cards from these sets so little bit dust but it was free so...
Typical Blizzard horseshittery.
10 free packs, but since it's just 2 of each, they won't trigger that pesky pity timer....
So you want 40 packs? The 10 only counts for the first time you are opening an expansion.
I wouldn't know. I'm not like one of these dipshits who actually plays this fucktard of a game. But I do comment on reality, and reality is that 2 packs from 5 different sets are useless, to both newcomers and old-timers alike.
40 packs WOULD be nice, but Blizzard doesn't have to do nice when you have braindead cheesedicks throwing money at them for nothing.
why are u commenting on a forum of a retarded game then? empty life? no fulfillment? typical internet troll in mommy's basement
In the hope that people would fucking learn.
But they don't. They never do.
I don't realy like Blizzard/Hearthstone's policy, but damn, they can't even give away free packs without being called out?
Got Golden Darkbishop Benedictus out of one of the packs. Already had the diamond version of him. Was expecting a free reroll but it never happened. Yes I know first world problems because these packs were free but at least they could have did reroll duplicate protection on older packs or let diamond versions count as golden so it would pop up.
Duplicate protection is active, but diamond Darkbishop was the reward for collecting 25 Stormwind legendaries.
So unless you didn't buy the Deadmines miniset, you would have no uncollected legendaries.
Could they have done the reverse reroll, where you get to reroll if you open a lower quality? Yeah, that's a bit weird. I guess they don't care, as you need to have collected everything for that to happen.
