Captain Hooktusk’s hero power is “Remove a friendly minion. Discover one from a Tavern Tier lower”.

What’s great about Captain Hooktusk:

  • She is very flexible
  • She doesn’t need to refresh the tavern as often
  • Her hero power costs 0 mana

How to play Captain Hooktusk effectively:

Captain Eudora’s hero power is “Dig for a golden minion! (4 digs left.)” and it costs 1 gold.             

What’s great about Captain Eudora:

  • The golden minions you get from her hero power are added to your hand, which means that when you play them, you will be able to discover a minion from a higher tier
  • Her hero power is very cheap and can easily fit in every turn

How to play Captain Eudora effectively:

  • Don’t use your hero power on the first turn
  • After your first turn use your hero power as often as possible
  • Taking a token generator like Alley Cat on the first turn can be very good because it allows you to tier up and use your hero power on turn 2

Dancin’ Deryl’s hero power is “After you sell a minion, randomly give two minions in Bob’s Tavern +1/+1”

What’s great about Dancin’ Deryl:

  • He is one of the hardest heroes in the game and it can be very interesting and challenging to learn to play him
  • He can give minions +20/+20 with his hero power once he makes his combo

How to play Dancin’ Deryl effectively:

  • Prioritize buying token generators like Murloc Tidehunter because you will be able to use your hero power twice with them
  • Try to get a lot of minions in hand and sell them all at once to buff the minions in Bob’s Tavern as much as possible
  • When selling your minions try to buy the minions you don’t want to buff from Bob’s Tavern so that all buffs land on the minions you want
  • Usually, divine shield minions, as well as cleave minions like Cave Hydra, are the best options to buff
  • Don’t play Dancin’ Deryl on mobile phone because you will often mess up your combos on the small screen
