Remind me why this hero is in the game again. And why it has been 1 of my 2 options in 2 out of my last 3 games.
A hero you can never ever pick because the hp interfers with way to many builds.
it also helps a ton of builds, onyxia is great with quilboar

Its a tempo hero where the hero power is usually stronger in the early game to help you level early.
It falls off in the late game, but hero powers vary at what point in the game they are strongest.
Onyxia is broken as hell with avenge builds, like beasts and undead. Its so strong they had to ban the avenge beetle trinkets on her.
But she’s still amazing with anything avenge related.

Does it no longer ruin your other summons?
It used to do that.
The hero power has never been changed to my knowledge, but I do not understand what you think the issue was.
How did you feel it ruined your summons?
The Onyxia Hero Power was actually nerfed a while back. As scary as this might sound. At one point it was Avenge (3). You can only imagine how OP Onyxia was before it went to 4.
Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn’t. Order from left to right and if the spot is a Deathrattle or Reborn will be the deciding factors.
This is the order of operations of how BG’s work.
- Start of Combat Effects: Hero Powers and passive effects like those of Ragnaros the Firelord.
- Minions from left to right attack.
- Deathrattles: If a minion dies, its Deathrattle activates.
- Reborn: If a minion has Reborn, it will respawn after its Deathrattle triggers.

I meant how it spawns, not the avenge portion.
It was never modified in a way that would make it no longer interrupt summons as was implied by their comment.

Hmm i see ty.
Then i dont see why anyone would pick this hero. And voluntarily lock themselves out of a few endgame builds. Or at the minimum make them weaker.
For what is a very small and rather insignificant bonus to avenge farming.
Beasts nor undeads really need extra summons for avenge farming,its nice but not at the cost of risking losing real summons. The t5 avenge beast (not the useless beetle but the new wolf that scales lol) is op anyway.
Its a bit of tempo which is nice and it seems to have high armor as well. Maybe its a sign of how bad the hp and hero really is. Still needing so much armor with a tempo hero.
It’s not bad when there are tangible avenge effects to benefit from it. Kind of like how you use Bru’Kan’s ability to spawn more tokens into play. The best use currently would be in a beast lobby and getting beetles going. There’s also a couple of trinkets you could hit that would make it an okay pick. In most cases it’s a C tier hero.
