Hearthstone‘s latest expansion, Descent of Dragons, has arrived, bringing with it the start of the Year of the Dragon. Galakrond, the mightiest dragon of all time, is here to raze Azeroth should no one stop him! Log in and receive free rewards: all five Galakrond Hero Cards, two Shield of Galakrond minions, and three Descent of Dragons card packs.
Ascend to the skies above Dragonblight for a thrilling aerial battle between our heroic League of Explorers and Archvillain Rafaam’s League of E.V.I.L. As you might expect, you’ll be tapping into plenty of draconic powers. Legendary Dragons, breath weapons and heroic Sidequests are all open to you. The five “E.V.I.L.” classes – Priest, Rogue, Shaman, Warlock and Warrior – can transform into Galakrond himself using one of five new Hero cards, bearing class-appropriate Battlecry and Hero Power.
A new Invoke keyword comes into play to trigger Galakrond’s Hero Power effects. Multiple invokes upgrades Galakrond into his deadlier forms. Dare you invoke the mightiest “Galakrond, Azeroth’s End”, with his quadruple-strength Battlecry and powerful claw attack?
The adventures continue in the corresponding Descent of Dragons Solo Adventure. This will be a story-driven, epic finale to Hearthstone‘s first-ever year-long storyline. Find out what happens in January.
Log in to get three Descent of Dragons card packs, all five Galakrond Hero cards FREE, and two neutral Shield of Galakrond minions with the Invoke keyword. Get even more rewards by completing a series of six new Legendary daily quests for:
- Five additional Descent of Dragons card packs
- Two Rise of Shadows card packs
- Two Saviors of Uldum card packs
- 200 gold
“Descent of Dragons is full-blown fire-breathing fun, and filled with the vibrant personality and strategic decision-making Hearthstone is known for.”
“We think players will have a blast building decks around the five powerful new Galakrond Hero cards—or finding clever ways to keep him from taking over the game.”
President of Blizzard Entertainment, J. Allen Brack
