Shaman

Info

Strategy

Shamans are a very board control orientated class with a lot of cheap removal. They have a unique game mechanic called Overload, allowing you to play a card at a discount while paying the remainder the turn after. As a result, mana management and planning are crucial. They are also the only class that can bestow Windfury using Windfury or Windspeaker onto a minion allowing it to have incredible burst damage. Shamans have a wide array of spells that compliment both burst (Lava Burst, Rockbiter Weapon) and control play styles (Hex, Earth Shock).

Shaman`s Hero Power, Totemic Call, summons a random totem out of four possible choices: Stoneclaw Totem, Wrath of Air Totem, Searing Totem and Healing Totem. While each totem has their strengths, due to the random nature of the ability Shamans have to rely on a bit of good luck to get the right totem for the situation.

Shaman are spiritual guides and practitioners, not of the divine, but of the very elements. Unlike some other mystics, shaman commune with forces that are not strictly benevolent. The elements are chaotic, and left to their own devices, they rage against one another in unending primal fury. It is the call of the shaman to bring balance to this chaos. Acting as moderators among earth, fire, water, and air, shaman summon totems that focus the elements to support the shaman⃢₀ₙs allies or punish those who threaten them.

These masters of the elements can also call upon elemental forces directly, unleashing torrents of lava and bolts of lightning against foes. The elements can create, destroy, support, and hinder. The experienced shaman balances the vast spectrum of these primordial forces into an array of diverse abilities, making shaman versatile heroes and valued members of any group.

Strategy and gameplay

Shamans are highly flexible, boasting a wide variety of class cards that lend themselves to many different methods of achieving victory. With their unique mechanic Overload A player with 1 mana Overloaded this turn, and 2 mana Overloaded for next turn. Overload is an ability which reduces the amount of mana available the next turn by the stated amount, indicated in , Shamans can also play very strong spell and minion cards for little mana, at the cost of losing available mana the subsequent turn. Their board control is excellent with removal Removal is the term used to refer to the elimination of minions from the battlefield. Hard removal describes cards and effects that can neutralize minions regardless of most defenses, such as high Health or Divine and transform Transform is an ability which irreversibly transforms a minion into something else.

As wielders of the elemental forces, Shamans have an affinity with Elementals Elemental is a type of minion, depicting elemental spirits who have attained raw physical form. Elemental synergy effects typically require an Elemental minion to have been played on the previous turn. Elementals are available to , possessing more Elemental synergy effects out of any other classes. Shamans have access to both early-game Elementals with tons of utility like Fire Plume Harbinger Fire Plume Harbinger Set: Journey to Un Goro Type: Minion Subtype: Elemental Class: Shaman Rarity: Rare Cost: 2 Attack: 1 Health: 1 Abilities: Battlecry Tags: Cost-related, Elemental-related Battlecry: Reduce the Cost of Elementals in your hand and Hot Spring Elemental and late-game Elemental finishers like Stone Sentinel and Kalimos, Primal Lord for a huge tempo swing.

Another element unique to Shamans are cards that transform minions into an entirely new and random minion. Evolve and Master of Evolution transforms their own minions into a more costly minion, while Devolve does the opposite to their enemies. Although the effects are random, with proper setup their multiple high-cost, low-stat minions can turn into something else with stats and possible effects to better match their costs.

Counters

• Totems will be a continuous part of the game when playing against a shaman, especially the slower kinds. Try to control the number of totems, since they can give the shaman strong beneficial effects along with minion count. This is especially important when playing against Totem Shaman/Bloodlust decks. The totems can range from being 1/1, 0/2, or 0/3 so they are quite fragile and nonthreatening by themselves, but totems like Mana Tide Totem which allow an extra draw per turn will give an enormous advantage if left unchecked. Totems are treated as minions and can be buffed with increased Attack as well as Health so leaving too many on the field at once may become dangerous if the shaman plays cards like Raid Leader Raid Leader Set: Basic Type: Minion Cost: 3 Attack: 2 Health: 2 Tags: Area of effect, Ongoing effect Your other minions have +1 Attack."That s a 50 DKP minus!"See this card on Hearthpwn data page] Raid or Bloodlust Bloodlust Set: Basic Type: Spell Class: Shaman Cost: 5 Tags: Area of effect Give your minions +3 Attack this turn.blaarghghLLGHRHARAAHAHHH!!See this card on Hearthpwn data page] Bloodlust is a shaman spell card, from the Basic , or even Flametongue Totem Flametongue Totem Set: Basic Type: Minion Subtype: Totem Class: Shaman Cost: 2 Attack: 0 Health: 3 Tags: Ongoing effect, Positional effect Adjacent minions have +2 Attack.Totemsmiths like to use the rarest woods for their totems. for unexpected trades. You may even be able to use the totems against the shaman if you play cards like Sea Giant or Flesheating Ghoul which benefit with more minions on the field, but this is rarely worth the risk of leaving them in place. Good methods of removing totems include AoE damage like Hellfire or Holy Nova, or low-Attack minions that can trade with them without wasting too much face damage. The druid`s Swipe can also be extremely effective against totems, especially when paired with Spell Damage.

• Bloodlust Bloodlust Set: Basic Type: Spell Class: Shaman Cost: 5 Tags: Area of effect Give your minions +3 Attack this turn.blaarghghLLGHRHARAAHAHHH!!See this card on Hearthpwn data page] Bloodlust is a shaman spell card, from the Basic and totem buffs like Thunder Bluff Valiant Thunder Bluff Valiant Set: The Grand Tournament Type: Minion Class: Shaman Rarity: Rare Cost: 5 Attack: 3 Health: 6 Abilities: Inspire Tags: Hero Power-related, Totem-related Inspire: Give your Totems +2 Attack.Allowing totems to attack is can allow the shaman to abruptly win the game if they have lots of minions on the field, so make sure to keep the number of minions the shaman has to a minimum. This includes 0-Attack Totems and other seemingly unthreatening minions. Remember that shamans often include a lot of burst damage spells like Lava Burst Lava Burst Set: Classic Type: Spell Class: Shaman Rarity: Rare Cost: 3 Abilities: Deal damage, Overload Deal 5 damage.

Overload is an ability which reduces the amount of mana available the next turn by the stated amount, indicated in is an ability which reduces the amount of mana available the next turn by the stated amount. Most cards with Overload have a lower printed mana cost than similar cards from other classes (for instance, compare Forked Lightning and Cleave).

• Flametongue Totem can be used to get a lot of value out of totems created by the Shaman`s hero power.
• Unbound Elemental can very quickly get out of control when combined with cards with Overload.
• Rockbiter Weapon will effectively deal twice as much damage when combined with Windfury. Common examples include Al`Akir the Windlord or Doomhammer for a powerful finisher or board clear.
• Mana Tide Totem is best used when it can be protected by Taunt minions such as Stoneclaw Totem and Feral Spirit.
• Shaman`s low cost spells such as Lightning Bolt and Lightning Storm become very powerful when combined with Spell Damage minions such as Wrath of Air Totem, Azure Drake and Bloodmage Thalnos.
• Shaman`s Bloodlust spell combos well with many low cost minions in order to deal large amounts of damage on one turn.

Common Weaknesses

• Hunter`s Unleash the Hounds can often make having multiple totems a liability in the matchup.
• Shamans lack of healing often leaves them vulnerable to burn decks and finisher combos. Direct damage-based decks and combos are most effective against Shaman as Stoneclaw Totem and Feral Spirit can make it hard to push through minion-based damage.

Free Cards Acquisition

All of the cards that are of rarity Free can be won through normal play in the tutorial and Practice Mode. You always get two of them simultaneously because that`s the limit you can have in one deck. This is how you get them:

In addition, Golden versions of the free cards can be unlocked by leveling further than level 10. For Golden versions, though, the cards are unlocked one by one and not in pairs. These are the levels and the associated unlocks.
