The days when Hearthstone’s alternate Heroes were scarce are long gone. Right now, they’re quickly becoming the most popular cosmetic item. In fact, lately, we’ve been getting more new Hero portraits than card backs (which were by far the most common form of cosmetic previously).
In this post, I’ll round up all of the Demon Hunter alternate Heroes in the game and give you some more information about them, including how you can (or could) get them and whether they’re still obtainable or not. Keep in mind that Heroes that are labeled as unobtainable can still become available in the future – old Hero portraits go on sale pretty regularly. I won’t update this post every time something goes on a sale (since it’s temporary), only when its availability changes permanently.
Currently, there is a total of 9 Demon Hunter hero portraits, 3 of which are obtainable.
