Hearthstone players can “double major” in Scholomance Academy
with 40 Dual-Class cards designed around ten unique class
combinations and the powerful synergies they share. Whether you’re
a Druid looking to tame savage beasts like a Hunter, or a Rogue
eager to steal a few Mage tricks, Scholomance Academy has something
new to teach everyone.
Scholomance Academy takes spell-slinging to the next level with
the new Spellburst keyword, which triggers a one-time-only
effect the next time the player casts a spell. Players can also
benefit from hitting the books with new Studies cards that
allow them to Discover a card immediately and also reduce
the mana cost of the next card they play of that type.
“Following our reveal of this expansion last month, it was clear
that the vibrant theme and new game mechanics resonated with
millions of Hearthstone players around the world,” said J. Allen
Brack, president of Blizzard Entertainment. “We’re excited to now
be able to open up Scholomance Academy and put the magic in
players’ hands.”
Scholomance Academy is available today on Windows® and Mac PCs;
iOS, and Android™ tablets; and mobile phones. Scholomance Academy
card packs are currently winnable in Hearthstone’s Arena mode, and
players can purchase them with in-game gold or real money at the
same prices as Hearthstone’s other card packs.
