Elementals are invading Hearthstone Battlegrounds with the new patch 18.4 minion set. With these new minions on the Battleground, a new composition is born, composed of 16 elementals. But this new family is not the only one to invite itself on Battlegrounds. Four heroes accompany them in this new adventure.
The Elementals, new Battlegrounds set
As you probably already know, Hearthstone patch 18.4 introduced new minions to HS Battlegrounds. The latter, the elementals, bring a breath of fresh air to the Battlegrounds. Their arrival also allows a new rotation in the game mode. Thus, 2 families of minions will be released with each new game.

The meta in patch 18.4
Hearthstone Battlegrounds patch 18.4 is hard to predict. The meta is completely turned upside down by the arrival of the elementals. These seem strong, but easily controllable. We think in particular of Nefarian who could sign his big comeback.
