New heroes and balance updates set to arrive in Hearthstone: Battlegrounds

It feels like Hearthstone: Battlegrounds only launched yesterday, and already the auto batter addition to Blizzard's megahit card game is set to receive new heroes and balance updates.

The legendary Sindragosa, Elise Starseeker, Brann Bronzebeard, and Sir Finley Mrrgglton are the latest heroes to enter the battlefield. Each of these characters boasts a fresh hero power, which means you may well have to mix up your established playstyle.

Some of the skills/perks on offer include Sindragosa's Stay Frosty, which when used at the end of your turn can give Frozen minions +1/+1, and Elise Starseeker's handy Recruitment Map.

To make some room for these latest heroes, some characters have had to up and leave Battlegrounds. These include King Mukla, Giantfin, Millificent Manastorm, and Lich Baz’hial. That said, these guys may return in a future update, so don’t worry too much if they were among your favourites.

Further updates, including minion and hero balance changes, are set to arrive fairly soon. You can expect another update in early December. There are currently two new minions in the works, as well as an updated version of the Stats feature.

If you're yet to give Hearthstone: Battlegrounds a go, you'll find the base game available for download now from both the App Store and Google Play.
