Hearthstone 26.4.2 Patch Notes – Small Hotfix With Battlegrounds & Duels Changes + Bug Fixes

Blizzard has just pushed out a small hotfix patch. It’s mostly focused on Battlegrounds with a bunch of minor balance changes in form of Armor updates. Those rarely make a huge difference, but they’re a good fine-tuning tool for outliers.

There’s a small Duels update with a bunch of overperforming cards getting banned from deck building and all card pools, which should make early drafts more balanced.

And finally, we got a few bug fixes, including one to the “Doin’ Somethin’ Unholy” event Quest that didn’t count its progress.

Check out full patch notes below:
