It's time to venture back underground in this week's Brawl dubbed, The Mines Reopen. The brawl showcases a Shuffle Pick hero selection followed by a standard match on the newly re-worked and re-released Haunted Mines! You'll have to collect Skulls within the mines to summon a Grave Golem in order for it to help you and your team destroy the enemy camp. To learn more check out the official release below.

Rules:

---

• Shuffle Pick
  • Pick one of three randomly selected Heroes before entering the Haunted Mines. Be quick about it, though —you only have 30 seconds to choose!
• Haunted Mines Basics
  • It has been quite a while since we last stepped foot into the Haunted Mines, so here's a refresher on the Battleground's primary objectives:
    • Venture Underground: The Haunted Mines will periodically open with an Undead Army underneath.
    • Collect the Skulls: Destroy the Undead and collect their Skulls to summon a powerful Golem. The more Skulls each team collects, of the total 100 contained within the mines, the stronger their Golems become.
    • Unleash the Golems: After the Undead have been defeated, a Golem will rise for each team and plow through a lane in search of Structures to destroy.
• Haunted Mines Updates
  • The Haunted Mines Battleground has undergone significant changes since it was last available for play, and we've turned it into this week's Heroes Brawl so everyone can get familiar with the adjustments we've made. Here are the key changes:
    • Grave Golems now spawn in fixed positions in each lane, and switch lanes each time they are summoned.
    • The layout of the Underground Mines has been reworked, and the Neutral Grave Golem can now be found at its center.
    • The upper level’s center area has been reworked.
      • Additional Mine Entrances have been placed to the East and West of the Battleground’s center area, for a total of 4.
      • A Mercenary Camp has been placed near each Mine Entrance, featuring Siege Giants at the East and West Entrances, and Sappers in the North and South.
