Explore the Lost City of Un’Goro with the new Rally keyword, the return of Quests, a major minion refresh, a new Guide feature, and more! All in Battlegrounds Season 11: Echoes of Un'Goro, going live August 5 at 10:00 a.m. PT.
When Season 11 starts, Anomalies and Trinkets will be removed from the Tavern.
New Keyword: Rally
Get ready to Rally your minions! Rally is a brand-new keyword in Battlegrounds that triggers an effect whenever a Rally minion attacks. This season, Rally is primarily featured in Quilboar and Dragons, but you’ll see some across every minion type:
In addition, several existing minions, such as Monstrous Macaw and Yrel, have been updated to have the Rally keyword.
Returning Mechanic: Quests
Battlegrounds Quests are returning for Season 11, and the core system remains intact: on Turn 4 (the 6-Gold turn), players choose one of three Quests. Completing a Quest unlocks a powerful Reward that lasts the rest of the game!
We’ve brought back 35 Quest Rewards, carefully selected based on player feedback and how they fit with the updated minion pool. You’ll also find 13 brand-new Quest Rewards, including some that reference the Rally keyword.
New Hero: Loh, the Living Legend
Get your Hero’s Welcome with Loh, the Living Legend. After 15 friendly minions attack, his Hero Power upgrades to let you Discover a Rally minion for 1 Gold!
New Keyword for Pirates: Bounty
Shiver me timbers, there’s another new keyword on the horizon! A Bounty is a Tier 3 Tavern spell that is exclusive to Pirate lobbies. There are five different Bounties—put together, they have a pool appearance rate equivalent to two regular Tavern spells. However, several new Pirates this season can generate them, and Proud Privateer pays them off big time.
A Major Minion Refresh
This season features over 100 new and returning minions and Tavern spells. Have a look at some of the heavy hitters:
Over the next week, we’ll be sharing more information about all the new, returning, removed, and updated cards. You can see all the card updates as they’re revealed in the official Card Library. Details about the reveal schedule are towards the bottom of this post.
Quality of Life Improvement: Guide
We're debuting a new feature called the Battlegrounds Guide. In a game, open the Guide in the lower-right corner of your screen to see what minions and Tavern spells are available in your lobby, organized by Tier and type. Use it to familiarize yourself with new cards or browse what you might need to power up your warband!
Battlegrounds Track Refresh
On August 5, Battlegrounds Season 10 will end and Season 11 will begin! With that, Battlegrounds Ratings will reset, and the Battlegrounds Track will update. Any rewards that were already earned from the Season 10 Rewards Track, but not yet claimed, will be automatically claimed for you.
The Season 11 Battlegrounds Track includes Underfel- and Dragon-themed cosmetics. Pick up the Season Pass to instantly unlock +2 Hero options at the start of each game. Then, progress through the Season Pass track to earn the new Underfel Legendary Strike, 13 additional Hero Skins, a new Bartender, and more! Or upgrade to the Season Pass + to get all the rewards from the Season Pass plus one included Hero re-roll per game.
