Hearthstone 27.0.2 Patch Notes – Battlegrounds Updates + Bug Fixes

Blizzard is rolling out a pretty major hotfix patch right now. Those kinds of patches generally don’t appear on all servers instantaneously, so you might still be playing on the old version for a while, but it should be out everywhere within the next few hours.

The patch is mostly centered around Battlegrounds, with multiple changes to Hero Armor tiers and Quests. On top of those, it introduces a lot of bug fixes (most of the known issues got fixed).

It’s a server-side hotfix, so you don’t need to download anything. Check out full patch notes below:

Bug Fixes and Game Improvements

  • [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where Overkilling a hero with a minion buffed by Always a Bigger Jormungar resulted in only the Overkill being dealt, not the total damage.
  • [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where Aman’Thul’s “Vision of Heroes” ability could summon Colossal minions.
  • [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where Mimiron’s Cloakfield (generated by Mimiron, the Mastermind) did not grant attack if used on a minion that already had Stealth.
  • [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where your opponent was also able to see cards revealed in Algalon’s Vision.
  • [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where Magatha gave away Cast When Drawn spells (like the Death Knight Plagues).
  • [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where Signature cards from the TITANS Reward Track were able to be disenchanted. After this fix, there will remain some user interface that looks like you can disenchant these cards, but it won’t be functional. This misleading interface will be cleaned up in a later patch.
  • [Battlegrounds] Cariel Roame and Edwin VanCleef’s Hero Powers have been removed from Master Nguyen’s Hero Power pool.
  • [Duels] The Outlander Hero Power will now check for Outcast cards that were played this turn when you didn’t have the Hero Power (such as, if you cast Metamorphosis, played an Outcast card, and then used your last Metamorphosis charge to flip back to the Outlander Hero Power).
  • [Duels] Beckoning Bicorn will now shuffle a Patches the Pirate into your deck, instead of putting it on top.
  • [Duels] Fixed a bug where Pit Stop didn’t trigger Staking a Claim.
  • [Duels] Fixed a bug where Tempest’s Fury could still activate if there were no enemy characters present (because the attack killed the enemy hero).
  • [Duels] Fixed a bug where Herald of the Scaled Ones always gave Legendary Dragons.
  • [Progression] Fixed a bug where the “Express Order Argunite” Achievement could not be progressed.
