Road to Northrend Chalkboard

General Information

  • You get one Classic Pack for clearing the first encounter this week.
  • This is the first time we see this Brawl… well, technically second, because it was briefly available last week before it was replaced with “Pick a Hand, Any Hand”. It seems that your progress from last week was saved, though.
  • It’s a PvE Brawl.
  • The Brawl’s format is Wild.
  • It’s a Dungeon Run style Brawl, so you build your deck from available card packages as you go.
  • The Brawl is an “introduction” to the Galakrond’s Awakening adventure, which launches next week.
  • You can pick one of the four classes (League of Explorers, so Druid, Hunter, Mage and Paladin).
  • You then face 8 different encounters, just like you normally would in Dungeon Run. The final boss seems to be one of the other explorers, depending on which one you play as.
  • Being defeated doesn’t mean losing this Brawl immediately – when you die, you get sent back to Bob’s Tavern, which means that technically you don’t need to win every encounter.

    It’s cool that this time the background changes with every encounter. Also, I think the last time the last fight didn’t have shrines.

    Hey is this happening to anyone else? When I faced aviator bob, I crashed, now I can’t open hearthstone because I immediately reconnect to the game with aviator bob and crash. Does anyone have a fix for this? Thanks!

      Same issue, you have to concede as quick as you can to get out of it. But you cant go back into the brawl or else it will start crashing again. Other types of play will work

    Beat it with Reno, last boss was finley, and was on 65 minutes (had to stop to do chores). so probably there’s rewards for finishing it before 60 and 40 minutes again?

    I don’t know if this bug or intended.
    If you lose once, your enemy will be replaced by Tavern “Aviator Bob”, just like Bob in the adventure.
    It’s an autowin. so, technically, you only face 7 bosses.

    (Final boss is Elise, 60 Health). using Sir Finley.

        I was confused too, whether different hero takes elise too.
        what if we took elise as hero?

        meh, doesn’t want to run it twice. only play for pack.

    Elisse is the final boss with 80 Health.
