Hearthstone Update – September 10 – Tombs of Terror!
Enter the tombs… if you dare. The Tombs of Terror are opening soon, and we’re relying on the League of Explorers to put a stop to the misguided miscreants and powerful plague lords unleashed upon the world by Arch-Villain Rafaam and his League of E.V.I.L.
Read on for details on everything that’s coming in this update, including the new solo adventure, card changes, game updates, and more!
Tombs of Terror! – Chapters 1&2 Launching September 17
Hearthstone’s newest Solo Adventure is just over the next dune! Here’s what’s in store for you in the Tombs of Terror:
- Dual-Class Heroes!
Even if you’re a legendary Hero, defeating world-threatening plague lords and powerful evil leagues takes a little extra effort. Whether by redoubling their educational efforts, wrestling with the martial arts, honing their holy pursuits, or pilfering some powerful magical machinery, Elise, Brann, Finley, and Reno have spent their time in the desert honing new crafts and preparing for the people’s cry for heroes to save the day. Choose one Hero and have access to cards from two classes, along with some brand-new Hero Powers and treasures!
- Plague Lords!
Massive murloc amalgamations, maelstroms of whirling madness, and just… Straight. Up. Death. The League of E.V.I.L. has unleashed powerful plague lords onto the world, and it’s up to you to stop them! These larger-than-life monstrosities have gigantic persistent health pools. So, while you probably won’t take them down on your first attempt, you’ll pick up where you left off on the next run!
- Powerful Signature Treasures!
A good explorer always comes prepared. Dig into your pack of tools and start your run with a powerful treasure of your choice. Unlocked by completing challenges and bosses during your runs, your pack will fill out with tons of magical loot and powerful cards as you progress through the Tombs of Terror.

- Darkmoon Faire: Acquired by winning 5 games in ranked mode during the October 2019 season.

- Cards that Discover from a random pool no longer apply a class bonus. As Discover pools have gotten more specific, some are too narrow and repetitive. This change will increase the variety of cards from random Discover pools.
