Quilboars will be the next tribe joining Battlegrounds. They’re only teased now, but we’ve learned that their mechanics will be built around 0 mana spells giving +1/+1 called “Blood Gems”.
We’ll learn more about them in the patch notes tomorrow.
The first is a preview of the next major Battlegrounds update: Quilboar! The Quilboar update will include the new Quilboar minion type, 17 new minions, 3 new heroes, and a new mechanic: Blood Gems!
Blood Gems are spells that give a friendly minion +1/+1. Some Quilboar give you Blood Gems, while others have special interactions when Blood Gems are played.
There will still be five minion types per Battlegrounds game once Quilboar are added, meaning that three minion types will be excluded from each game. Just like when Dragons, Pirates, and Elementals were added, Quilboar will show up in every Battlegrounds match until our next major content patch.
The full details of the Quilboar update will be shared in the 20.2 patch notes, tomorrow.
