Hearthstone Update 22.2 Patch notes
Hearthstone’s update 22.2.2 includes a huge Battlegrounds update and Duels changes. There are also balance changes for Standard, Wild and Wild. Mercenaries Village received its 2022 first content update. The balance updates should bring an end the Pirate Warrior meta, which was the most powerful deck in the game for most of 2021.
What’s new in Hearthstone Update 22?
Battlegrounds Buddies are now available in the latest update. A Battlegrounds Buddy, a minion that is unique to each Hero and designed to work in concert with the Hero’s gameplan, is a special minion. The new friends should bring more synergy to older heroes and help balance the power level.
The Training Grounds are a new area for your Village. It allows your Mercenaries passively to gain experience while they do Bounties with other Mercs, play different game modes, and even while you’re sleeping! Simply enter the Training Grounds and select the Mercenary that you wish to train. You can leave them there as long as they are available.
