How To Get All Alternate Heroes In Hearthstone

How does one get new Hero Portraits in Hearthstone? It's a bit hard to give one simple explanation, because at that place are many different ways to get portraits. There's been no standard: Instead, over the years, different portraits have been obtainable through unlike sources.

Hearthstone's first alternating hero portraits were available for purchase, with Magni Bronzebeard, Alleria Windrunner, and Medivh released for the Warrior, Hunter, and Mage classes, respectively. But the idea of buying these portraits from the shop wasn't universally well-received, and Blizzard has since come up with a variety of new ways to earn customized hero looks. You could earn portraits past taking part in the Recruit a Friend system, or attend a Fireside Gathering, or sign upwardly to Twitch Prime number and link your Battle.net account there. It was all pretty arcane, and some of those portraits (like Nemsy and Tyrande) were out of reach for most players — which was, mayhap, even more than infuriating than when they were simply added to the store.

Recently, most portraits come from purchasing the high-priced Mega Parcel for upcoming expansions, or from leveling up your Rewards Runway — as long as yous purchase the Tavern Pass to earn those extra rewards. But older portraits from by promotions sometimes return to the store, and can be purchased for a brief period of time.

If y'all're looking to customize your Hearthstone feel, here's how to get every Hero Portrait available in the game.
