Slay in Trial of the Hearth
You may be experienced, but you’ve never tried anything like this before. In Trial of the Hearth, you’ll need to rely on your newfound power in chosen cards to emerge victorious.
Prior to playing, you’ll be able to choose two cards. One card will be an active buff that takes effect from the start of the match, while the second card will become a combat orb that will drop with priority during the match.
But keep your wits about you, for other combat orbs with random card effects can emerge to sow great chaos. Use these to your advantage to claim victory.
Survive the Enchanted Planes
The Fractured Plane may be a reflection of your mind, but it now reflects another thing entirely.
Using a previous version of Fractured Plane prior to the Writhing Wilds update, you’ll select three cards to aid your fight within this vicious gauntlet. One card will be activated from the start of the match, while the other two will drop from Chaotic Altars and Treasure Chests while playing.
Build your deck and fight back the Burning Hells legions to emerge triumphant in the Enchanted Planes.
Wield the 2-Star Manaflux Legendary Gem
Deep within the magical archives of the Horadrim lies a wondrous artifact known only as the Manaflux Legendary Gem. Legends speak of its radiant glow, pulsing with raw power beneath its crystalline surface. Mysterious energies stir when you claim this gem, granting you an extra surge of mana in your hands. The description below reflects the legendary gem at Rank 10.
Generate 10 Mana over 20 seconds and upon reaching 10 Mana, using a Skill will consume all your Mana to play a card. If you are above 50% maximum Life, you play Ragnaros, who hurls a fireball at nearby enemies, as long as there are enemies nearby. If you are below 50% maximum Life you play Acidic Swamp Ooze, who spits acid at nearby enemies. Both attacks deal 310% base damage plus 1217 to enemies within the area. Additionally, Ragnaros’ attack Burns enemies for 30% base damage per second for 4 seconds and Acidic Swamp Ooze’s attack Silences enemies, preventing their use of Skills for 4 seconds.
Modify Your Gem Drop Table
From July 30, 3 a.m.—August 26, 3 a.m. local server time, players will have the option to enable a modified drop table for their Legendary Crests when running Elder Rifts. Once enabled, whenever you receive a Two-Star Legendary Gem as a drop, there’s a 50% chance it will be Manaflux.
Blaze your Enemies with new Familiars
Storming in from classic Hearthstone cards to join the fight by your side, two Familiar skins enter the fray. Core Rager and Lil’ Ragnaros Familiar Skins will be yours to try and collect for a limited time.
Purchasing any bundle in the in-game Shop while the event is live will get you the Core Rager skin, while Lil’ Ragnaros will be granted on your 8th draw from the Moon Scion Phantom Market.
Gleam with the Moon Scion Phantom Market
Cleanse your fears in moonlight and go forth with unclouded eyes. This iconic Phantom Market brings two characters from Hearthstone to Sanctuary. Don their garb and take up the famed mantle of these heroes.
Unlock the legendary Malfurion Stormrage and Tyrande Whisperwind in the Moon Scion Phantom Market, materializing soon. This is our first duo Phantom Market cosmetic, which offers Male characters the cosmetic for Malfurion Stormrage, and Female characters the Tyrande Whisperwind cosmetic. When changing your character’s gender, you’ll automatically swap over to the skin in the gender you’ve selected.
