Launched last August, season 5 of Battlegrounds ends to make way for season 6 and its new mechanics on December 5. New heroes, new minions and new mechanics await players. Patch 28.2 will be an opportunity to cast spells in the tavern to turn the tide of a game. And new synergies are emerging to further diversify the approach to adopt.
Magic flows freely in the Saloon
For season 6 of Battlegrounds, Bob has restocked his minions, but also offers new options. This time, he authorizes magic by selling spells directly to competitors. Each time its offer is updated, a spell of the same level as the tavern will be present. But while they all have different effects, they also have very specific costs. To match the power of their effects, each spell has a unique cost indicated below its level.
In update 28.2, 42 spells will be added to the rotation. None of them can be tripled, and they are consumed once played.
It’s time to take over
With the launch of a new season, it’s also a good time to change up the tavern servants a bit. In addition to the 42 expected spells, 32 new minions are being added to the battlefields. The synergies are thus revised, while some take the opportunity to highlight the mechanics of spells. There will therefore be quite a few elements to discover at launch to know what will stand out. However, the undead see their power increase. Accustomed to non-life, some can now use this to offer an advantage to their hero.
A new route to discover
Obviously, the launch of a new season also means the launch of a new rewards path. From December 5, when season 6 begins, a new journey can be started on Battlegrounds. Unclaimed rewards from the previous journey will be sent automatically at the next login. During this season, the rewards will revolve around settling scores in the Badlands.
