There is now more information and maps available new Hearthstone Extension Kobolds & Catacombs.

The one on the BlizzCon announced expansion brings a new solo mode, a new card mechanic: recruiting and the Legendary weapons.

Hearthstone - Legendary weapons for every class

There will be nine of them, one for each class, and they offer extremely powerful effects. These reflect the effects of their classes. The Mage weapon Aluneth for example, the player draws 3 cards at the beginning of the turn. The weapons of the previously unarmed classes such as magician, warlock and priest have 0 attack, so they are not intended to beat up the enemy.

Since you cannot get rid of the weapon yourself without the possibility of attacking it, you should, however, be careful not to die of exhaustion.

As a small gift from Blizzard, every player who logs in after the release of Kobolds & Catacombs will receive a legendary weapon for free.

With that, the acidic mud and other cards could destroy the weapons, come back in vogue.

Unidentified items

Another novelty are unidentified items. These get a random effect when dragged. There should be a total of 3 of these in the expansion.

Magic stones is the next big news. 9 of them are hidden in the catacombs and offer their respective class special bonuses. The trick is that the effect can be amplified. The shaman stone can be improved by overloading the map. Normally the spell copies a friendly servant, after 3 overloaded mana crystals, we get 2 copies of the servant. After another 3 overloaded mana crystals there are 3 copies. Just stand in front of Malygos + 3 copies ... after that, even a pyro strike looks puny, compared to the +20 spell damage lightning strike with 23 damage.

The Hearthstone Kobolds & Catacombs expansion will be released in December. The pre-sale with the 50 card packages for 49.99 €, which also includes an exclusive card back, has already started.
