Ongoing effects are distinguished from regular minion abilities such as Taunt The shield-like Taunt visual effect Taunt is a minion ability which forces the opposing player to direct any melee attacks toward enemy targets with this ability. Minions with Taunt (commonly referred to as Taunts) serve in that their effects directly affect the state of other game elements, and/or are toggled on and off in response to the state of other game elements. This makes ongoing effects dynamic and synergistic abilities, capable of directly altering the function of the game, or manifesting additional abilities in response to the wider state of the game. Ongoing effects are also distinguished from abilities such as Enrage An Enraged minion Enrage is a minion ability where the stated effect becomes active only when the minion is damaged.

Ongoing effects which grant temporary enchantments An enchantment, or buff or debuff, is a special effect gained by a minion. Enchantments may be generated by spells, minion texts or abilities such as Battlecries, or other sources, may be temporary or permanent, or buffs to other minions are referred to as auras. Some notable examples of cards which provide persistent auras are Stormwind Champion Stormwind Champion Set: Basic Type: Minion Cost: 7 Attack: 6 Health: 6 Tags: Area of effect, Ongoing effect Your other minions have +1/+1.When Deathwing assaulted the capital, this soldier was the only member of his and Murloc Warleader Murloc Warleader Set: Classic Type: Minion Subtype: Murloc Rarity: Epic Cost: 3 Attack: 3 Health: 3 Tags: Area of effect, Murloc-related, Ongoing effect Your other Murlocs have +2/+1.Do Murlocs ever get tired of making the . Auras may affect all friendly minions, or all minions of a specific type. Auras usually take effect on the player`s entire side of the board, but some auras only affect adjacent Positional effects are effects which are partly determined by the position of minions on the battlefield. Notes edit | edit source] The vast majority of effects are not affected by minion position.

The key distinction between aura buffs and minion-specific buffs is that auras grant their effects only for as long as the aura-generating card remains in play. For instance, Defender of Argus Defender of Argus Set: Classic Type: Minion Rarity: Rare Cost: 4 Attack: 2 Health: 3 Abilities: Battlecry Tags: Positional effect, Taunt-granting Battlecry: Give adjacent minions +1/+1 and Taunt.You wouldn’t think that Argus would need this and Shattered Sun Cleric Shattered Sun Cleric Set: Basic Type: Minion Cost: 3 Attack: 3 Health: 2 Abilities: Battlecry Battlecry: Give a friendly minion +1/+1.They always have a spare flask of Sunwell Energy Drink™!See this card on Hearthpwn data are examples of minions that give minion-specific buffs, but not auras. In Hearthstone The Hearthstone icon Hearthstone (formerly known as Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft 1] 2]) is a free-to-play digital collectible card game from Blizzard Entertainment. It was first announced in a presentation by Rob Pardo at the , auras can be defined as continuously ongoing effects that are provided only by the presence of another card in play.

Auras, unlike permanent enchantments, cannot be removed by silencing For the card of the same name, see Silence (card). Silence is an ability which removes all current card text, enchantments, and abilities from the targeted minion. It does not remove damage or minion type. the minion being affected by the aura, but only by neutralizing the minion generating the aura. Silencing or removing an aura-generating minion will remove its aura generation, and remove its aura effect from all affected minions. Be that as it may, silencing the same minion will not prevent it from being affected by the auras of other minions.

If an aura minion meets the requirements for its own aura, it will benefit from it. For instance, Tundra Rhino Tundra Rhino Set: Basic Type: Minion Subtype: Beast Class: Hunter Cost: 5 Attack: 2 Health: 5 Abilities: Charge Tags: Beast-related, Ongoing effect Your Beasts have Charge.Tundra rhinos are often mistaken for kodos. Or am I will gain Charge For the card of the same name, see Charge (card) Charge is an ability allowing a minion to attack the same turn it is summoned. Charge is available to all classes, but is most strongly due to its own aura, and Warsong Commander Warsong Commander Set: Basic Type: Minion Class: Warrior Cost: 3 Attack: 2 Health: 3 Tags: Charge-related, Ongoing effect Your Charge minions have +1 Attack.The Warsong clan is such drama.

Notes

While enchantments are normally applied to minions in the order in which they were granted, enchantments from auras and ongoing effects appear to be granted after all other enchantments have been applied, even if the aura was in place prior to the other buffs being gained. For the most part this prevents auras from being included in the calculations of other enchantments, but still allows them to be included in effect calculations such as Reversing Switch Reversing Switch Set: Goblins vs Gnomes Type: Spell Cost: 1 Swap a minion s Attack and Health.See this card on Hearthpwn data page] Reversing Switch is an uncollectible neutral spell card, from the Goblins vs Gnomes . For more details, see Advanced rulebook#Enchantments.
