Hearthstone’s first new class since launch is a game-changer
The next expansion, Ashes of Outlands, is a big onewww.polygon.com
Oh my god, Polygon fucked up and published a day early. Huge Priest changes, and Demon Hunter as an entirely new class to Hearthstone. "Ashes of Outland" coming April 7th, Demon Hunter class journey starting April 2nd.
"[Demon Hunters] don't have much in the way of card generation, but you can run them out of resources," says Chadd Nervig, game designer on Hearthstone. "They have card draw, but not generation, so you can fatigue them. They're susceptible to hard removal. They also just don't have much in the way of hard removal themselves; if they want to clear a big minion of yours, they have to use their face to do it. They don't have any assassinate or polymorph cards."
Oh, I wonder how long that'll hold true---
Much like the Warlock, they use demons in their arsenal — but the Demon Hunter tends to use big, beefy allies rather than a swarm of smaller minions.
Blizzard expects one of the immediate Demon Hunter strategies will be to try and swarm the board with early overwhelming force
