It’s just been over a month since the new Mercenaries Mode was introduced to Hearthstone. Since then, a lot has happened, and more has arrived with Patch 22.0. We get to meet four new mercenaries and new bounties.
The Mercenaries Mode arrived sometime in October 2021 and offered everyone a new way to play Hearthstone. It had players assemble parties with mercenaries and then take down bounties. Read more about that here.
Of the four new heroes, three join the game at the same time as Patch 22.0. The mercenaries and their abilities are:
- Valeera Sanguinar (Legendary Fighter)
- Sinister Strike 5: (Speed 3) Gain +10 Attack this turn and Attack the lowest Health enemy. Combo: Gain Stealth.
- Ambush 5: (Speed 6) Deal 10 damage. If this Mercs was Stealthed, deal 25 instead.
