NAXX RELEASES DEBUT SINGLE

"Call Us Crazy” is the debut release from Naxx – the solo project of Chilliwack-based songwriter Michal Kvicinsky.

Its swaying, campfire pop tempo contrasts a more restless narrative: living in a city with no opportunities (“This town’s got no bright eyes and I'm too young to stay”) but seeing them all in another person (“I hate all the limelight, but I wish you’d give me more”). The harmonies are succinct and powerful, with softer piano and guitar that leave traces of driftwood, blush pink—the excitement of building a home around a heartfelt idea.

Heartlessed’s Favourite HS Boss Fights!

Today we’ll see the release of another Hearthstone Adventure, One Night in Karazhan. So let’s talk about what I most look forward to: BOSS FIGHTS!

That’s right. Adventure Boss Fights are one of my favorite things about Hearthstone. I love to see what kind of crazy challenge Blizzard can throw at me, and how hard it will make me rage. The relief and accomplishment you feel beating a particularly nasty Heroic boss means more to me than stomping another hapless human on ladder with Aggro Shaman. Moreover, these adventures often act as a semi-”testing ground” for Blizzard to try out some of their newest designs.

So without further ado, my favorite Adventure Boss Fights in Hearthstone!

Curse of Naxxramas: The Four Horsemen

Looking back, The Curse of Naxxramas has a lot of flaws. But surely no one can forget the wonder as those stone gates to the infamous Necropolis opened. Among the enemies you fought, the most interesting one is The Four Horsemen, led by its leader Baron Rivendare. Rivendare only has 7 health (14 in Heroic), but is completely immune as long as any of his three fellow Horsemen-who are minions on board-is alive.

This boss fight is interesting just because of the various you can do to mess with it. Although two cards——Doomsayer and Equality——are banned, there are still many ways to just mess with Baron Rivendare, mostly involving stealing one of his horsemen and/or his spells. 

Honorable Mentions: Maexxna; Loatheb; Gothik the Harvester.

Blackrock Mountain: Nefarian, First Fight

With Blackrock Mountain coming out, Blizzard started to add a lot more crazy things in the boss fights. One of the best examples of that is the first fight against Nefarian, whose hero power is this:

His own deck is nothing special, pretty much a standard Dragon synergy deck. But that hero power means every turn potential something crazy can, and WILL happen. And it only gets crazier as more expansions roll in, which actually gives Nefarian more spells in his arsenal. It also may have paved way for cards like Spellslinger and Burgle in later expansions. Of all Hearthstone’s boss fights, this one is one you’ll sure to want to return to.

Honorable Mentions: Emperor Thaurissan; Razrgore; Chromaggus.

League of Explorers: Rafaam Unleashed

League of Explorers is certainly a new height in terms of Boss Fights, with many crazy and original concepts. You have a “Choose Your Adventure” style fight in Temple Escape, A wild ride with pre-set decks in Minecart Fight, Lady Nzjar’s Evolve Powers, and Rafaam straight up stealing your deck! But my favourite LoE Boss Fight is actually the literal final boss, where you have to deal with Rafaam once and for all:

With the power of the Staff of Origination in his hands, Rafaam is near invincible. Not only is he immune when the staff charges up, he summons a powerful boss minion when he finishes charging, which happens to be the only window of opportunity for you to attack.

However, you are not without help, as your friends in the League will fight alongside you, using the artifacts the League collected over the years:

Needless to say, this is one heck of a boss fights, You’re constantly on edge, planning your next move and making sure you can survive, while taking Rafaam down bit by bit. This feels like a final boss fight, with all its pomp and hype. Truly amazing.

Honorable Mentions: Zinaar; Lady Naz’jar; Skelesaurus Hex

Well, that it on my favourite HS Boss Fights! With this expansion based on the infamous Karazhan raid, plus a party theme indicating some wild and unexpected encounters, just what kind of surprise are we in store here? Time to find out!
