Druid

Play Alarm-o-Bot druid The  Druid is one of the nine classes in Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft, represented by Malfurion Stormrage Heroes edit | edit source] Contents 1 Heroes 2 Background 3 Hero Power 4 Unique mechanics 5 Strategy hearthstone .

The general rule of thumb is to keep the deck free of any minions you do not want Alarm-o-Bot to put into play. Battlecry Battlecry is an ability where a particular effect activates when the card with the Battlecry is played directly from the hand. Although mostly limited to minions, some weapons also have Battlecries. Activation of Battlecries are is completely ruined when a card is moved from your hand into the field, and minions that have 2 Health -- but no Charge -- will die on Grobbulus` turn. Alarm-o-Bots can often be played out safely even with several opposing minions out; the player is frequently considered the greater threat.

Include the maximum number of the following cards in the deck: Innervate Innervate Set: Basic Type: Spell Class: Druid Cost: 0 Tags: Mana-related Gain 2 Mana Crystals this turn only.Some druids still have flashbacks from strangers yelling "Innervate me!!" at them.See this card on Hearthpwn data page] hearthstone , Alarm-o-Bot, minions with game-tilting abilities, less-expensive cards that keep you alive.

Priest

Include the maximum number of the following cards in the deck: Silence, Holy Smite, Inner Fire, Power Word: Shield, Northshire Cleric, Divine Spirit, Shadow Word: Death, at least one pair of Dark Cultist or Temple Enforcer, Stoneskin Gargoyle, Lightspawn, Spellbreaker, Holy Nova, Holy Fire.

While Northshire Cleric may seem like a liability at 3 HP, it proves to be the best card for the starting hand. Grobbulus has many small removal cards that are aimed square at your Turn Three Stoneskin Gargoyle, and the Cleric will fish those out. Heal her on Turn Two, but do not trade with an early Loot Hoarder Loot Hoarder Set: Classic Type: Minion Rarity: Common Cost: 2 Attack: 2 Health: 1 Abilities: Deathrattle, Draw cards Deathrattle: Draw a card.Always roll need.See this card on Hearthpwn data page] Loot Hoarder is a common hearthstone -- Grobbulus will do that for you and deny itself a slime in the process.

A true mistake would be to include Lightwell. With the damage your army takes due to the hero ability, Lightwell rarely targets you or your most important minion.

The ultimate goal is to get a Gargoyle out and make it gi-normous. All of Power Word: Shield, Divine Spirit, Dark Cultist, and Temple Enforcer contribute towards this end. Do not stop buffing one Gargoyle until it is at least seven health; Heroic Strike Heroic Strike Set: Basic Type: Spell Class: Warrior Cost: 2 Give your hero +4 Attack this turn.Really, if you re a hero, this is every strike.See this card on Hearthpwn data page] Heroic Strike is a hearthstone can kill it on any turn otherwise. Inner Fire at six health will contend with every threat Grobbulus tries to make. Keep the second Gargoyle in hand as a backup or, if Gargoyle Prime is endangered, play number two with no (or few) buffs to act as a removal magnet.

Other minions are disposable wingmen to your Gargoyle. Spellbreakers should be hurled at Abominations a turn after they silence an injected Echoing Ooze. Don`t bother healing Lightspawn, unless +2 attack trades favorably or provides lethal.

One last card for consideration is Shadow Madness. It falls just shy of `good` due to Echoing Ooze, which is both incapable of killing its twin, and frequently-immune due to buffs. It is still quite effective against Loot Hoarder Loot Hoarder Set: Classic Type: Minion Rarity: Common Cost: 2 Attack: 2 Health: 1 Abilities: Deathrattle, Draw cards Deathrattle: Draw a card.Always roll need.See this card on Hearthpwn data page] Loot Hoarder is a common hearthstone and Sludge Belcher Sludge Belcher Set: Naxxramas Type: Minion Rarity: Rare Cost: 5 Attack: 3 Health: 5 Abilities: Deathrattle, Summon, Taunt Tags: Taunt-generating Taunt.

Curse of Naxxramas

Grobbulus lurks deeper in the Construct Quarter, carrying the same ooze that flows through Naxxramas within its hulking form. Grobbulus is a flesh giant, the first successful one of its kind, created to build a formidable army capable of quickly spreading the undead plague. One of Grobbulus⃢₀ₙ limbs has been replaced with a syringe, which it uses to inject the plague slime of Naxxramas into its enemies.

In World of Warcraft

"Grobbulus, the first of what was to be an army of flesh giants. It carried the plague slime of Naxxramas within its body, injecting the living ooze into the bodies of its foe. The recipient of this foul injection would usually flee to his allies, bringing them down with him."
- Commander Eligor Dawnbringer

Trivia

Senior UI Designer Derek Sakamoto shared the following pieces of unused flavor text for Grobbulus:

"Grobbulus: He was mild mannered until he lost his family and friends. They were all balloons."

Voice

Grobbulus was voiced by Darin De Paul, who also voiced cards including Rend Blackhand, Grim Patron and Baron Geddon.
