Hearthstone's Season 8 has arrived, bringing exciting updates to Battlegrounds. This includes new heroes, minions, cards, and a revamped system—Trinkets! Let's explore the highlights.
Trinkets: The New Power-Ups
Trinkets are the star of the show, offering powerful buffs. There are 56 Lesser Trinkets and 60 Greater Trinkets, with some offering multiple benefits. Players receive four Trinket options on turns 6 and 9, tailored to their hero and current board composition (Elementals, Dragons, Murlocs, etc.).
Marin the Manager: The New Hero
Meet Marin the Manager, the newest Battlegrounds hero! Marin's unique ability allows players to acquire a Trinket a turn earlier than usual, providing a significant strategic advantage.
