Overview[edit | edit source]
Hearthguards is an epic dwarf unit that gains strength if it is played next to a structure. The initial strength of Hearthguards and the amount of strength it gains can be increased by leveling it up. Hearthguards works well in structure decks.
Strategies[edit | edit source]
Without structures in your deck, Hearthguards can be just a costlier version of Bluesail Raiders.
- Cheap structures like Fort of Ebonrock can be combined with Hearthguards to create a 9 mana, 6 strength combo. It's comparable to Olf the Hammer, but missing an important ability.
- Hearthguards is good at protecting important structures with its ability by gaining strength and having 2 movement.
- You can also play Hearthguards to set up a strong front with its combination of 2 movement and high strength.
- If there are a lot of units near your base, playing Hearthguards can take care of it well.

Notes[edit | edit source]
While Hearthguards' art contains the outline of The Hearth, it does not represent spawning a structure. The outline represents the structure that Hearthguards triggers its ability on.
