Announcing Battlegrounds Season 11—Echoes of Un'Goro!

Battlegrounds Season 11 introduces the new Rally keyword, the return of Quests, and a major minion refresh, significantly altering gameplay dynamics.

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:

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!

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.

This season features over 100 new and returning minions and Tavern spells. Have a look at some of the heavy hitters:

Oranomonos the Wilted Oranomonos the Wilted Golden Yorik Smite Yorik Smite Golden Beacon of Hope Beacon of Hope Golden P-0UL-TR-0N P-0UL-TR-0N Golden All-Seeing Elder All-Seeing Elder Golden

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!
