Hearthstone Patch 36.2 Dials Up Battlegrounds Season 14 and New Events
Patch 36.2 for Hearthstone kicks off Battlegrounds Season 14: Dark Gifts of Dalaran with the Activate keyword, new minions, a larger Trinket pool, new heroes, Lockbox and Fishbait mechanics, and a refreshed rewards track; it also reverts Demon Hunter’s Vicious Voidscale nerf after discovering it was over‑powered, while Soul Immolation becomes available through Zuramat's Rampage event (with a two‑week dust refund on the card). The update brings back Heroic Tavern Brawl (Aug 12–19) and adds Darkmoon Faire Treasures featuring Qixi Turalyon and Qixi Alleria skins; free rewards in the Battle.net Shop during Aug 4–25, plus Season Pass perks. A wide slate of bug fixes and a Unity upgrade accompany the patch across all modes, from standard play to Arena, Battlegrounds, and collections.
