We’ve categorized Heroes into four tiers. That said, this tier list guide can help you choose your Hero based on how useful various Hero Powers are in general. If you’re having fun with a specific Hero, don’t worry about its tier. Nonetheless, it is possible to win games even on leaderboard ranks with any Hero. Some Heroes are stronger than others, even significantly so. The Battlegrounds Season Pass is currently available only for real money through Runestones. The number of Heroes you can choose from goes up to four if you purchase the Battlegrounds Season Pass that unlocks additional Hero picks and cosmetics. No two players will ever share the same Hero – no one will be offered duplicates. When you start a match, you get two Hero choices and pick one. However, sometimes the right strategy is to ignore your Hero Power altogether and go with strong minions that are offered to you: use your Hero Power to your advantage when you can, but also be ready to choose a different route when you are not offered minions that have synergy with your Hero Power. Some of the Heroes are stronger in the early game, whereas some have good late-game scaling, so you can adapt your strategy to the Hero you’ve picked. While they do not affect the minions offered in the Tavern, each Hero comes with a different Hero Power – a special ability that is either completely passive or an active ability that you can use in the Tavern (between combat phases). Players currently have access to 95 Heroes: the pool changes from time to time with some Heroes being changed, new Heroes being added, and some of the old ones being removed in balance patches.

The general idea behind it was to take the popular Auto Battler genre and translate it into Hearthstone. You could even say that it’s a new game built into Hearthstone. Battlegrounds is a different game mode in Hearthstone that completely changes the way you play the game.
