Playing arena and shooting arrows at the target, I found out if two arrows hit in the same spot it splits one of the arrows in half. Pretty cool!

Someone on reddit supposedly decompiled and found the code dictating the arrow logic, showing that the archer's accuracy improves if you click the target more. (Resets between each game, so you won't notice unless you click it a lot.)

I noticed that too just by shooting a lot. I hit the center way more after a while.

Ya'll ever get the one where the arrow sticks through from the backside of the target?

Yeah. It almost looks like a bug.

I played an Arena that drafted 4 Brave Archers. I only finished 5-3, but dropping all 4 and Hero Powering is awfully fun. Especially when it's avoiding double Master Jouster (both won) drops (Opponent had Coin + Pint-Sized Summoner). Pyro for 6 Mana! ..... Except so much more disgusting.

That made me throw up. I've only drafted Brave Hunter once. I think it's way better if you get tons of them, but as a 1 of it's bad.

I don't actually know what that 6/9 is.

Whenever this minion takes damage, double it's attack. It's a hunter card, so elven archer + hero power is 24 dmg.

EDIT: Important note, I got it off a webspinner that I got off Unstable Portal.

Unstable Portal is by far my new favorite card of all time.

It makes up for all the times I got wisp from it.

So I don't think Hearthstone wants me to play arena anymore... This is my first arena in a few weeks:

http://www.heartharena.com/arena-run/egt6f9

I don't think the deck is terrible, but it's still Shaman.  The heroes it let me choose from: Shaman, Warlock, Warrior...  Then in the draft it only gave me nothing better than rare, and only one off the 1/10/20/30 picks...

Don't mind me, just using my Control Warrior in arena.



The Shaman was at 28 health on this turn. At one point I was at 2 health, but he had no removal for my Armorsmith and I slowly climbed all the way back up. It was pretty silly.

The pretty ridiculous draft (as of now 6-2)

So, how did my opponent get a golden card in arena?  I killed his Chillmaw which triggered effigy, summoning a golden Antonidas (FML).  Is there just a chance that effigy summons a golden card or something?

I thought you could occasionally get a nongolden weapon.

Anyway, I've definitely heard about an Effigy bug similar to what you said.

Blingtron is supposed to give golden weapons. It's your blingbling. Effigy gives golden cards, but I don't think it's intentional.

Then it's a bug that you get normal weapons, because I swear I've seen both.

I wouldn't complain too much about mostly getting common cards. Some of the best cards in Arena are Commons. Rarity is actually weird in Arena like that where strong class Commons are viewed as better than many Rares, Epics and Legendaries. (Epics in particular are often terrible, there's lots of bad Epics that you can be offered.)

*Actually looks at draft.*

On the other hand, it looks like you were hardly offered any class cards so maybe Hearthstone doesn't want you to play Arena.

I didn't say there weren't good Epics, just that there's lots of bad ones.

Went 12-1 with druid today. I think Druid rocks because of all the paladins. Most of them can't deal with the large minions as long as you play a good tempo game.

Oh I know rarity isn't a good metric in arena, but still. I still playbarena to play with interesting rares/epics/legendaries I don't own. It just felt like a slap in the face :P happy I went 4-3 though
