Hearthstone Battlegrounds Season 8: A Deep Dive into New Features and Updates

Hearthstone's Season 8 has arrived, bringing exciting changes to Battlegrounds! This update introduces new features, heroes, and cards, along with some much-needed adjustments for veteran players. Let's explore the highlights.

The Big News: Trinkets!

Trinkets are the star of this update, acting as powerful new buffs. Players can acquire 56 Lesser Trinkets and 60 Greater Trinkets, with the possibility of obtaining duplicates. These are offered on turns 6 and 9, presenting four options each time. Importantly, Trinket availability is influenced by your chosen hero and your current board composition (Elementals, Dragons, Murlocs, etc.), ensuring variety and strategic depth.

Meet Marin the Manager: The New Hero

Marin the Manager joins the roster, offering a significant advantage: he allows you to acquire a Trinket a turn earlier than usual. This strategic edge can significantly impact your gameplay.
