Hearthstone Mercenaries Bug Compilation - 25.4

Vanessa Vancleef Burgle Barrage not procing properly, Yulon Jadfire spear upgrades not taking into effect during boss rush. Prophet Velen tome of inspiration lists as new equipment indefinetely. I miss the voice acting which I guess they removed because it was bugging sometimes.

Mutanus / Pearlescent Scales 2nd Equipment has Level 10 instead of 4 when Renown View is Off, and Renown upgrading starts at Level 10 and costs 10 Renown to upgrade.
Non-bugged Upgrade cost from level 10 to 11 is 20 Renown.

Ragnaros combo not working, unable to complete task 10.

i’ve got one for valeera for you to add to the list – ambush does not “appear” to be affected by any damage enhancement (spell damage) —> edit: it actually does get affected by spell damage, however, the text is fixed to show the base damage, and not the adjusted values

A few bugs I encountered to add to the list:

Nemsy:

  • Bogged down treasure gives Boggy and other friendly characters the debuff too.

Lich King:

  • Kettle on the Coil doesn’t repeat on deathblow.

Other:

  • Checkmate treasure doesn’t do 120 damage when you have all 3. There seems to be an animation, but no damage.

The bug on Khadgar’s missions is (at least partly) fixed, mission 9 (give 70 atk or hp) can complete even if Hearthfire is upgraded with Bakin’ Bacon. I assume it’s the same with mission 14, but I don’t know if others mercs can help.

Kel’Thuzad’s blood surge equipment is badly bugged. If you have a minion on your side, usually the bomb from the mystery node, and then it switches to the opposing side, it will continue to get buffed even though it is no longer a friendly minion. Also, if you have Sylvanus on your team using mourneblade, your undead minions will randomly permanently lose attack equal to the mourneblade attack when they attack or are attacked. Curiously, if you have the improved mourneblade treasure, that extra attack is not lost.

It’s been a while since I did any systematic and thorough collecting and documenting of bugs, but I’ll leave a few here that haven’t been discussed widely yet, as far as I’m aware.

  1. I already reported a bug with Kresh a while ago, the turtle lord targeting himself with the ‘Turtle Down’ ability. Here’s video evidence of it present in the current patch (in Mythic, but abilities are the same there): https://youtu.be/Oztu29HSF34?t=1597

  2. After the big update with factions and so on (well, the final one), some bosses are broken. Namely:

  • Lord Banehollow and his fellows are missing their Legion faction, meaning that their abilities ‘Blitzing Legion’ and ‘Terror Charge’ don’t have their full effect, like they used to.
  • Captain Shivers no longer increases the speed of other Pirates (possible root cause: ‘Pirate’ is now a faction and not a minion type, and they forgot to change that).

Mostly tested in mythic, but should be the same for regular bosses. I might have missed something, but nothing comes to mind readily.

Not sure if it has been noted already… but Ysera seems rather broken right now (specifically, her “emerald dream”). The only part of the ability that seems to work right is the summon, the other two do not seem to be working correctly at certain upgrade levels.

I was noticing some odd behavior from Ysera Awakens at rank 2/3 (it would do the listed damage to my own mercs, but only do something like 3 or 5 damage to enemies despite the listed damage, so I ranked it up to 4 to see if it maybe that was the problem Not only did it further break Ysera Awakens (it no longer does damage to anyone after being cast), Nightmare also stopped giving its damage boon (although I had not thoroughly tested it before this point, so it may have also been broken and I simply did not notice). It may fix itself at 5, but I do not have the coins to upgrade it and test that yet… Quite discouraging as it stands though.

To follow up the previous report: I have done a Banehollow run recently (actually, it was before the patch that has just hit), and he had the same aforementioned problem as in mythic, however, the old ‘zone unlocked’ bug has apparently been fixed.

Not sure if its still worth reporting anything in this mode… But I encountered this bugs in PvP:

Arfus - when Poisonous (given by Mr. Bigglesworth Ability 2) and using Equipment 3, then Deathrattle on death (not sure Mr. Bigglesworth Ability 3) will kill everything on board (despite the deathrattle Equipment actually not supposed to be doing any damage).
Mr. Bigglesworth - when Poisonous (given by Mr. Bigglesworth Ability 2) any damage deatl does not seem to trigger the Poisonous effect

Confirmed that on normal difficulty.

Can’t confirm that at level 5. Ysera’s Vengeance level 4 is broken (simply doesn’t work), though, as has been reported elsewhere.

I’ll also add this: [Mercenaries] Missing types or factions .

PS I have a feeling that I’m missing or forgetting something, but perhaps it’s not a big deal, especially considering this:
