As we all know, there are not only 24 mission rewards in Hearthstone Tavern Battle, but there is also a hidden mission reward: Accomplice. To get this mission reward, you need a certain amount of luck, and Wa Niang discovered that it turns out that in this hidden mission reward There is also a magical hidden easter egg, which is even more difficult to trigger.
Later, the designer also confirmed this easter egg. According to the designer, if a hero has no partner, then the friend of a friend is his default partner . Therefore, whether it is knife oil or Tess, you can steal friends before and after beating the corpse. friends. Having said that, this was not included in the accomplice mechanism released by Mitchell before, and Qingfeng also saw on the forum that someone got the accomplice mission reward when the emperor cast in seconds at the beginning. If Qingfeng remembers correctly, that forum at that time The post states that you won’t get anything, so this easter egg looks like a new mechanic added after a patch.
Next, let’s summarize the detailed requirements for getting a friend of a friend: first, after entering the game, this one needs to have at least one hero without a partner, and he needs to leave the game early before the third round , so as to ensure that accomplices can still be spawned. There are mission rewards, and the probability of spawning an accomplice is 1%, so this step is quite difficult. In addition, you must choose Sword Oil or Tess, because only the partners of these two heroes can steal the partners of other heroes. Next, Daoyou/Tess must be able to find a corpse of a hero without a partner after completing the mission . All the conditions add up to let a friend of a friend reappear in the tavern. This is quite difficult, because many people are in the tavern in the first place. You get stuck at one step. For example, Qingfeng himself is...
It is really difficult to choose an accomplice with hidden rewards. Of course, it is much better now than when the companion mechanism was first launched, because at that time, the Emperor and Moloch had appearance rate buffs, and the Emperor could be seen in almost every game . After all, there is really no way to refuse the temptation of the Emperor's two missions. After the appearance rate buff ends, the Emperor is rarely seen because the hero pool is too deep. It is difficult to choose, but there will still be back-up partners in each one. The new heroes of the era, and they are all fun and powerful, and generally rarely surrender in the first three rounds. Even if the conditions for being a hero with all partners are met, there is still a 1% chance of being stuck . Maybe, like Qingfeng, just wants to be able to play a handful of accomplices before the mission mechanism is offline.
Of course, it would be even better if you can play with friends of friends. Friends who have experienced the days of friends of friends all know how fun it is to play . With Bronzebeard, you can often play magical combos, such as discovering and mentioning Kertes' partner is a lottery collector, and then makes a crazy counterattack. Another example is discovering Felin's underwater chef, discovering horse-faced partner Tagwag's refreshed skills, etc. Although there is a high probability that he can only get two friends. Friends, but if the blood volume is relatively low, there may be crazy byes.
Having said that, I feel that the overall difficulty of the mission rewards in Tavern Battle is much more difficult than before, especially some of the more powerful or interesting missions. Sometimes you will die suddenly on the way to complete the mission, although it seems to be more balanced than before. It’s a lot, but it doesn’t feel like as much fun as before.
Of course, this may just be a matter of freshness. After all, excluding accomplices, there are only 24 mission rewards in total . There are not that many that can cooperate with hero skills to perform special operations. I still hope to have some fresh mission rewards to play. Play, the 24.6 patch should be coming soon. The theme of the next version should be announced by then. I wonder if some new mission rewards will be added by the way?
