Learn how to conquer Hearthstone's tutorial missions, including strategies for facing bosses like Hogger and Illidan Stormrage, and understand key gameplay differences.

The Hearthstone tutorial is the initial experience designed to introduce players to the game. It consists of six missions that must be completed before players can engage in standard play. This tutorial functions as an introductory game mode with simplified gameplay and guided instructions.

Upon completion, players are directed to the main menu and receive quests to play in practice or constructed modes. While the tutorial ends, further guidance is provided on new screens and during the first matches, explaining mechanics like the mulligan and The Coin, effectively extending the tutorial within the game's environment. It is the first and most crucial part of the new player experience.

The tutorial is presented the first time a player launches the game in any region. Although intended for a single playthrough, it can be replayed by accessing the (?) icon within the practice mode of the Solo Adventures menu.
