Hearthstone Battlegrounds Season 7 Brings New ‘Duos’ Mode

Two heads are better than one in Hearthstone’s new Battlegrounds mode!

Blizzard Entertainment has announced Duos, the new Hearthstone Battlegrounds mode, coming on April 17.


Here’s what you need to know about Battlegrounds Duos.:

What is Battlegrounds Duos?

Season 7 is bringing a new new mode called Duos to Battlegrounds:

  • Grab a friend or make a new one! You and a partner queue together in a game against three other teams of two players. Teams have shared life totals, pass each other cards through the Portal (for 1 Gold), and fight in tag-team combat to take the crown! 
  • Swapping between solo Battlegrounds and Battlegrounds Duos is found on the main Battlegrounds menu. From the Duos menu, you can invite a friend to play as your teammate, or you queue on your own to get paired with a random player.   
  • With Season 7, Battlegrounds Ratings will reset and Battlegrounds Quests will rotate out of the Tavern. Tavern Spells will stay in the Tavern for both traditional Battlegrounds and Battlegrounds Duos going forward. There will be separate ratings for solo Battlegrounds and Battlegrounds Duos, and separate leaderboards.

Minion and Mechanics Updates

  • New Heros and Minions: With the launch of Duos comes new Duos-specific Heroes and cards that take advantage of the mode’s new gameplay: 4 heroes, 16 minions, and 3 tavern spells. These will only be available in Battlegrounds Duos, not the regular Battlegrounds mode.
  • Once Upon a Tavern: Season 7 includes a massive minion update for both Duos and solo Battlegrounds, including 50 new minions, over a dozen returning minions, and a couple new Tavern Spells. There are also big changes including a rework to Beasts, refreshes to Dragons and Mechs, and balance adjustments to tons of minions and heroes.
