Introduction
Hearthstone players, get ready for some exciting updates! The latest patch notes bring a few changes to the game, including card updates and adjustments to Battlegrounds Buddies. In the Construct Quarter, players will notice a decrease in durability for some cards, such as Vengeful Walloper and Lightray. Meanwhile, Battlegrounds players will see some Buddies become more powerful, like Snow Elemental and Vaelastrasz, while others, such as Nightmare Ectoplasm and Shady Aristocrat, will become less powerful.
In addition to these updates, the patch notes also include bug fixes and game improvements. For example, a bug causing mouse-over tooltips to disappear has been fixed, and new Core Set cards are now eligible in the Arena card pool. So, whether you're a seasoned Hearthstone player or just starting out, these updates are sure to add some excitement to your gameplay.
