The Warrior archetype is getting a new Mech in the upcoming Hearthstone expansion, The Boomsday Project.
Eternium Rover is a one-mana Mech with one attack and three health. It also has an effect that grants you two Armor each time this minion takes damage.
Obviously a bunch of classes are getting Mech in the upcoming expansion, but Warrior players will be especially happy to get one that can be easily summoned in the early game. And it definitely seems like Eternium Rover has the potential to be a great early-game card.
Eternium Rover is somewhat similar to another Warrior Mech called Warbot—although it has a different effect, both of these cards are one-mana minions with 1/3 stats.
Since Eternium Rover is a Mech, it’ll have synergy with the new Warrior Hero card, Dr. Boom, Mad Genius. This Hero card gives your Mechs Rush for the rest of the game.
The reveal of Eternium Rover could mean that a Mech control Warrior deck might be a part of the meta after The Boomsday Project is released—but it’s still too early to tell since all of the expansion’s cards haven’t been revealed yet.
The Boomsday Project is the second expansion of the current Standard year, the Year of the Raven. This expansion is set to add 135 new cards to the game, including new keywords like Magnetic. Hearthstone players can now preorder this expansion—and all of the cards will be available on Aug. 7.
