Announcing Battlegrounds Season 8
No vacation is complete without a stop at the souvenir shop. But this is a unique boutique: it sells magical Trinkets—the new Battlegrounds seasonal mechanic! Come see what’s in store for Battlegrounds Season 8, Trinkets & Travels, launching on August 20!
With Season 8, Battlegrounds Ratings will reset (for both regular Battlegrounds and Duos) and Buddies will rotate out of the Tavern to make room for new Trinkets.
Trinkets are special passive power-ups that you buy with Gold and use for the rest of the game—kind of like Quest Rewards. Trinkets are offered twice per game: on turns 6 and 9. Each offering, you’ll get 4 Trinkets to choose from.
In total, there are 56 Lesser Trinkets (turn 6) and 60 Greater Trinkets (turn 9) coming in Season 8! Some Trinkets have a Lesser and a Greater version--letting you diversify or double-up on your effects!
Your Trinket offerings and their Costs are influenced by your Hero, the Minion Types in the game, and your Warband to ensure you’ll always be offered something exciting to build from.
Want a special Trinket offer? Speak to the Manager! Marin the Manager is coming to Battlegrounds in Season 8, bringing you an extra Trinket—and one turn early, to boot!
When Season 8 begins, 38 minions will be removed from the minion pool and 18 old favorites will return, plus 27 new minions and 2 new Tavern spells will be added. Follow your favorite content creators as they check out all the sights on each reveal layover ahead of Patch 30.2 at these times:
