We’ve gotten a couple of updates today from Blizzard on Reddit. One is discussing the new Lifesteal mechanic and how it will interact with Auchenai Soulpriest.
Greetings!
In Knights of the Frozen Throne, we’re introducing a new keyword, Lifesteal, that summarizes the previously existing card text “damage dealt by this also heals your hero”. We’re looking forward to showing off more new cards with the Lifesteal keyword in the coming weeks.
Two cards currently exist with the Lifesteal ability in their text box: Wickerflame Burnbristle and Mistress of Pain. In Knights of the Frozen Throne, we’ll be updating their card text to say “Lifesteal” rather than their current “damage dealt by this minion also heals your hero” text. You can check out what that will look like by clicking the links above!
Stop Hitting Yourself
Auchenai Soulpriest and Mistress of Pain have had a very interesting relationship. Their current interaction results in a continuous loop of healing and damage that results in a rather grisly end to the current game. In Knights of the Frozen Throne, we will be changing the interaction between Auchenai Soulpriest and all minions with Lifesteal so that the Auchenai Soulpriest ability will only trigger once.
We hope you are looking forward to our next chilling expansion!

The other update is on rewards from the double gold event going on right now. Players weren’t receiving double the gold amount when completing the “Play a Friend!” quest. Blizzard has added a hotfix that should rectify this issue, and anyone who lost out on gold should get it back! Keep in mind that the UI will still display 80 gold, but you will actually receive 160 until the event is over.
The Midsummer Fire Festival is hot, hot, HOT! However, bugs are not, not, not. 🙁
Recently, we discovered an issue with the Midsummer Fire Festival’s double gold feature not properly granting the friend participating in the “Play a Friend!” Quest double gold. We have rolled out a hotfix for this issue and the Quest is now working properly in all regions. Both the player that has the “Play a Friend!” Quest and the friend they are playing against will receive the Midsummer Fire Festival double gold bonus.
Friends that only received 80 gold from the “Play a Friend!” Quest rather than the intended 160 gold for the Midsummer Fire Festival event will receive their missing 80 gold. A pop-up will appear in-game that will notify the affected players that 80 gold has been added from outside the game.
Please note that the UI will still display that 80 gold has been awarded to the challenged friend, but the awarded gold will correctly be 160 gold. We apologize that we are unable to adjust the UI at this time.
Thank you for your understanding, and enjoy the Midsummer Fire Festivities!
