You Can Open “Maiev Shadowsong” Hero in Rogue Card Packs… and Yes, It’s a Bug (Update: Fixed)

Rogue Card Packs became available as a part of the Gladiator Valeera bundle, as well as for completing the just-released Book of Heroes (Valeera). However, players are reporting something strange. Apparently, you can open Maiev Shadowsong Hero in the Rogue card packs. No, she’s not added to your collection – neither as a card, nor a Hero skin. Sadly it’s not a way for people who missed the skin to get it now. Either way, it looks pretty hilarious.

Devs are already aware of the bug and are working on a fix!

Update:

Rogue packs were temporarily locked because of the issue. Players will be able to open them again when the issue is resolved.

Update #2:

The issue got resolved and you can now open your Rogue packs just fine! Players who opened them will get compensated – 400 for regular version and 1600 for Golden (since they took an Epic slot from packs). (Source)

    Haha, not so fun bug.

    I can’t open the packs. I drag them to the ‘opening field’, press space, swipe with my finger (on mobile device)… no pack opened. Pack counter goes from 5 to 4 while doing this … and switches back to 5.

    Any ideas? Do I need to open a support ticket? o.0

      Just updated the post – they’ve temporarily locked the packs until they fix this bug!

        Whoa, such a fast answer this late in the night. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Thanks for that, and okay, I’ll wait until it is fixed.

    How can I beat last opponent?

      Yeah, that’s one of the stupidest matches.

      As I understand it, it is a long and complex puzzle with (only?) one right chain of events.

      You might have noticed, that you always get the same cards – opening hand, mulligan, cards drawn … you name it. And opponent is doing roughly the same (playing 1st shadow on 4, playing his blade and ‘poisoning it’ etc.) BUT it differs depending on your line of play.

      I was able to kill 4 shadows once, only to face 4 legendaries that killed me then because I was on 3 life. That game ended in a draw.

      So, imho, you need to find a way to defeat 4 shadows and preserve as much of your life as possible to endure the damage you get from those 4 legendaries in the end. It was over very quickly in my match (the 1st attack killed me), but what I saw was maybe a combined attack power of 10, maybe a little bit more.

      I guess we just have to wait a day or so until someone figures out the way to play that match. ๐Ÿ˜‰

      Until then, I hope I get to open my Rogue packs (not working, see above ๐Ÿ™ ).

        What you faced the legendries? I killed all four shadows and I won. The legendries only showed up to greet you.

        Also you can trade some of your starting cards with others, I recommend trading away the give a minion poision card. Since stealth for your hero is much better.

        First two shadows I used the kill random minion on, the two others I destroyed my weapon and dealt it’s damage to both of them.

          Hm. So maybe health just needs to stay above a certain level. Do you remember how much health you got left over?

          Yes, the leftmost Legend (dunno which one it was, it was over so fast) ‘shot’ at me with a swing-like animation that resulted in me taking some damage and the ‘Draw’ screen. *shrug*

          Regarding the route of play: How did you handle the 7/5 Ravenholt Assassin and that legendary that deals 5 with it’s deathrattle?

            Ooh didn’t notice that, I think I had three health left when I was done. However I had a few minions on the field, so maybe they took the damage?

            The 7/5 I let one of my 3 attack minions handle and the deal two damage to a undamaged minion spell.
            However it did hit me in the face once first, I think.

            The deathrattle one I also just killed as fast as possible.

            However the rest of the minions didn’t touch me so it worked out fine.

            Only tip is keep killing his minions and have minions on your board, save a weapon and weapon boost for a weapon destruction combo.

            Also again I traded the one of the start cards and it gives you a card that gives your hero stealth, and that is good at tight spots. I was stupid and traded the double weapon damage card instead of poison minion (that I never got around to using), but it worked out.

              Lol I followed Old Guardian’s instructions on YT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rX0VvJrdGv8 and ended on 5 health. Rest was exactly as you described and concluded in a victory … no creatures on my side as they were killed eot by 3 Shadows.

              So maybe I was at 2 life yesterday (Legendary on left, the one that ‘swung’ at me, had 2 attack)!? Very strange …

    Haha, fun bug xD
    Maybe they will add a super rare chance to open hero skins in pack in the future.
    Wonder if it will actually unlock the skin for someone who is missing it.
