Hearthstone's newest game mode is Mercenaries! I've really been enjoying this game mode and there's a ton of depth and different things to do! This video will go over the fastest way I have found to level. I can't wait to level up my characters more and find different/better synergies!

An important thing to know is that -- if you have the coins for it -- you can make a full low-level party and upgrade all their abilities to 3. This will allow you to take on Heroic bounties of the same level as your party, for huge amounts of XP. Maybe take one level 30 for safety's sake, but you really don't need to.

I certainly wouldn't consider this an exploit, higher level characters power leveling lower level is the most Warcraft thing ever 😂

It's also something the developers explicitly encouraged in the reveal video.

@DirEnGay 2 жыл бұрын

@@Watdee The biggest issue with this though is that the reward gives the same coins every time. You get coins for Morgl, Xyrella, Guff only from this run and the other coins are randomly from your characters in party. It's probably best to spread out content because coins are the real grind, not levels.

@@djf881 I think you and I would have designed it so the Stranger is less likely to show up if your level is much higher than the bounty's, but I'm not convinced Blizzard shares that concern. They seem content to let people powerlevel in any way they want to because they recognize that some players just want to max out ASAP. Developers seem to universally fear the "grind" criticism.

@DirEnGay 2 жыл бұрын

It's a grind, sure, and pay to win people still need to level their characters, but leveling is really not difficult in this game, but what is difficult is accumulating coins for each character, and grinding definitely helps but it's slow. The daily PvP rewards (until 5 wins) and the visitors to your town (plus the ones you find on adventure board) seem to offer enough to give people something to play for. I think more people should be treating this mode as something you can play for 30 mins or an hour or two a few times per week, but everybody wants fully maximised competitive teams immediately and it's soured the experience. Especially knowing it takes like 300 packs to get every character, and even then you won't have every ability maxed.

@petergulvas6553 2 жыл бұрын

Its even more expensive than hearthstone which i thought its not possible, in hearthstone you buy 1 bundle or 20 packs and you can already craft full competetive deck with one legendary or two if you got lucky , here i bought 2 bundles have lvl 30 heroes and still have only 100 coins from 500 for heroes i need

@DirEnGay 2 жыл бұрын

@@petergulvas6553 Well I posted that 4 days ago, but I've been playing the game quite a lot. I am getting bored of it already though, but I unlocked every merc except 3 legendaries but I actually could unlock them if I want to I just don't need them yet and I am farming tasks which can give 154 free packs (3 per merc from task 16, 17 and 18). I have all of my mercs to 30 and I have 4 competitive teams that I have maxed all of their abilities on roughly 20 Mercs (I use some in multiple decks). It's boring but if you need coins for a merc you need to grind like crazy to get them, and if you want that merc to be good you probably need that task 7 equip also which means doing the boring air elemental reset runs for hours. It's funny because even people that bought hundreds of packs still need to farm for that task level 7 equip on their mercs and grind their stuff to 30, but the only difference is the whales that spent a lot of money will have so many excess coins, like thousands of them unspendable because the game system is so broken and stupid. Blizz didn't think about this at all...

I mean... if I get the maximum exp I can get from a 13 hrc mission for example... why bother with higher?

If you intentionally choose to play in a repetitive way, then yeah, it's going to feel like a grind. I level up six mercs at a time (rather than 3) by just playing through each mission in order. I'm sure it takes a little longer -- because it's more challenging -- but to me, the whole point of the game is that challenge. In the end, we'll all have 51 mercs at level 30, but I will have enjoyed the process. THAT'S how you win PvE content.

@DirEnGay 2 жыл бұрын

I prefer this way too. Leveling doesn't take long at all honestly and the coins are the biggest grind, and doing a repetitive mission with the same front 3 dozens or hundreds of times is going to really mess up the coin ratio. At least Guff, Morgl and Xyrella will be maxed, but they're rares anyway and will max in no time regardless from free packs.

1 normal lvl 30 run takes a lvl 1 merc to lvl 15 and you can do it with 3 level 1 mercs as well...

@DirEnGay 2 жыл бұрын

Probably worth noting that the real grind will be the coins, and if you just spam the same level you will get the same coins. I don't think people need this many coins for Morgl, Xyrella and Guff especially considering they're only rare heroes and will max much quicker than epic/legendary. You should probably mix up gameplay and let them level in various ways. For example why not take on a level 20+ heroic challenge but have 4 powerful front minions, or take on a 30 you're confident you can beat with 5 and leave the 6th slot for a level 1. I dunno, this seems good at first but levels don't mean much without coins. I wonder if there's a coins exploit for running a level 30 character solo through easy content. You're guaranteed coins from a member of your group and if you pass the adventure thing on the way and get a mission on top it's win/win. You could also run this with two or three mercs too for speeding up the run and splitting the coins gains between them. This may allow you to take on various lower level content and get bonus coins for other merc you own.

Endgame? You mean nonstop PvP? You don't have to have maxed-out mercs to do PvP. You're matched against a party of the same level and upgrade status, so I don't see why level 30 is any better than level 15 for that.

@gugugugu3371 2 жыл бұрын

The big appeal is that it allows you to get a bunch of new abilities (with the equipments you get at level 30), or upgrade the speed of some stuff. For example, if you want to play an arcane synergy with tyrande and Milhouse, max leveling her lvl 15 attack (elune's grace) to the max upgrades its speed and opens new synergies. Same with her 7th quest equipment, which opens the way to nature spell synergies.

Yeah so far I'm really not liking the monetization in this game mode. In order to actually get anything, you'll need packs to accumulate either getting the card or the specific tokens. And with 40ish tokens with each pack, it's going to take a while if you don't spend money on the game.

The grind is the game. There is nothing to chase after you have maxxed all mercs. The PvP pays out coins. The end of the month PvP rating reward is more coins and packs. There's no legend card back. There's not even endgame achievements other than beating all the heroic modes. If you don't find the grind satisfying, then this isn't your kind of game.
