Naga are spell-thirsty minions that are drawn to magic, and can give players spells or get more powerful when spells are played around them. Certain Naga also possesses the Spellcraft keyword, which grants a temporary spell each turn, which can be used to buff them until the start of the next Recruit phase.
As for the new hero, Queen Azshara will arrive in Hearthstone Battlegrounds, ready to lead her people to victory. Her passive, Azshara’s Ambition, allows her to begin her Naga Conquest when the player’s warband reaches 30 total attack, this, in turn, allows her to spend one mana to discover a Naga each turn.
If you need some help mastering the Naga, here are some tips from Blizzard:
Each Spellcraft minion generates a Spellcraft spell every turn.Spellcraft effects only last until your next Recruit phase. That means that each turn you get to choose where you put your spells for the next Combat.Spellcraft spells leave your hand at the end of your turn—if you don’t use them, you lose them!Spellcraft spells are generated as soon as you play the Spellcraft minion, and at the start of each Recruit phase.If your hand is full, Spellcraft spells will “wait” until there is a free space in your hand, instead of getting destroyed or being delayed a turn.Golden Spellcraft minions will generate Golden versions of the Spellcraft spells, with double the effect.Some Naga care about when you play spells. That includes Spellcraft spells as well as things like Coins, Blood Gems, and triple rewards.
Rise of the Naga will come alongside patch 23.2, which brings other changes to the game as well. Five minions will be removed from the pool, and replaced with 16 new Naga minions, 5 other new minions, and 2 returning minions. If you hope to see a full reveal, Blizzard will have more to share on May 9.
