Introduction
Last month, the latest Battlegrounds season was released! It brought us an unseen Hero, more mechanics, and a new reward track.
We, at Cards Realm, decided to compile the best comps around, and also go through every change announced in the new update. So, if you have just started playing Battlegrounds, this article is for you.
What Changed in Battlegrounds Season 8?
If you are already familiar with these changes, feel free to jump ahead.
Trinkets
Twice per match, on turns 6 and 9, a Trinket shop will appear. It will offer you four passive bonuses, and they each will cost a different amount of Gold.
Ad
There are 56 Lesser Trinkets, which are sold on turn six, and 60 Greater Trinkets, which are sold on turn nine. Please note that the shop will offer different Trinkets based on your Hero, your board, and which Tribes are available in the match, so they're not completely random.
New Hero: Marin, the Manager
Marin, the Manager is the new Battlegrounds Hero! His effect gives you an extra Lesser Trinket at turn five, so you'll have three Trinkets at the end of the match.
New Reward Track
A new battle pass was also added to the game, alongside premium and free rewards. It features a "vacation" theme, and most of the cosmetics included in it have something to do with the shore and the beachside, so it's very similar to the Perils in Paradise
set.
Here are the rewards:
We managed to get our hands on all the rewards included in this track, so here are the ones that stood out to us the most!
Best Skins in the Battlegrounds Season 8 Battle Pass
Beach Chenvaala (free):
Future Vacation Nozdormu:
Surfer Kael’thas:
Griftah (Bartender Skin):
Ogrimmar Rakanishu:
Sunburned C’thun:
Shark Patchwerk (free):
The Legendary Beach Blast Strike is not a Hero or Bartender Skin, but is also pretty cool. It is also the last reward in the entire track, and is definitely worth the effort; I, myself, for instance, will use it for a long time:
Battlegrounds: Best Comps in Season 8
Now, let's turn our attention to the new season meta, which has already changed a lot and is no longer dominated by Pirates or Mechs, like earlier this season. Let's go through each comp that currently occupies HSBG Guide's Tier S.
Beasts - Leapfroggers
This is a simple comp. The goal is to activate Leapfrogger's effect as much as possible. So, you'll focus on summoning your Beasts at the right time and on activating Deathrattle at the right time.

Macaw, Manasaber, and Titus Rivendare are essential. You should position them this way: Macaw, then Leapfrogger, Manasaber, and Titus.
Your weakness will be the fact you don't have any minions with Taunt, so I highly recommend you get a Sprightly Scarab as soon as possible. It grants +3/+3 and Taunt to one of your Beasts, and you should use it on a Manasaber.
If you don't have a Manasaber, or if you have any empty slots, pick one of the Beasts below. They are other ways to summon a minion with Deathrattle, or have Reborn themselves.
When to Go For This Comp
Only commit to this comp if you have Leapfrogger and Titus Rivendare.
Murlocs
With the comp above, the focus was doubling our Deathrattles, but, with this one, the focus is Battlecries, in particular Primalfin Lookout's. The idea is to use it to create many Murlocs, so Brann is essential.
So, look for other Murlocs with Battlecries and make your board even stronger. You'll double these effects with Brann and recast them at the end of the turn with Young Murk-Eye.
Some other cards are also essential, like Bream Counter. While it is in your hand, you'll buff it with Mrglin' Burglar and play it on the board through Bassgill's Deathrattle.
Another great addition, if you can, is Choral Mrrglr. He is a great minion in this composition.
When To Go For This Comp
Building this comp takes a while, so only focus on it when you find Brann and Young Murk-Eye, or Brann and the Nerglish Phrasebook Trinket.
Self Damage Demons
Finally, last but not least, we have a Demon comp. They're very strong, but there's a price: your life!
So, Soul Rewinder's effect is a must. He will both rewind the damage your hero took and gain +1 health whenever this happens.
Your goal, after putting it in play, is to deal as much damage to your own hero as you can. To do that, look for Malchezaar and Pilgrimp. If possible, get Wrath Weaver as well.
Percussionist's Battlecry deals a lot of damage to your hero, and you can also double it with Brann.
With so many self-damage tools, Tichondrius is essential. It will make your entire board stronger.

When to Go For This Comp
Soul Rewinder and Malchezaar are already enough to commit to this comp. Another great addition is the Rewinder Portrait Trinket.
