Notes

• The Shaman boss' Hero Power, Pearl of the Tides transforms minions into other collectible minions. As a result, Deathrattles are not activated and all damage and enchantments are removed. Furthermore, the Hero Power also acts as a summoning trigger for cards such as "Unlicensed Apothecary", even though the Hero Power is described as a "Transform" effect. Transforming friendly minions (such as with Polymorph: Boar) does not trigger minions similar to Unlicensed Apothecary.
• In the Razorgore the Untamed mirror match the hero power The Rookery will buff not only your own Corrupted Egg, but also those of your opponent.

Results

The developers shared the following official information on the Brawl's debut in January 2017:

Today, we wanted to share some of the results from the Boss Battle Royale, and get some feedback from you regarding the Brawl. Take a look at the Boss Battle Royale leaderboard to see which bosses had the highest win rates globally!

1. Grobbulus

2. Coren Direbrew

3. Lady Naz’jar

4. White King

5. The Curator

6. Razorgore

7. Skelesaurus Hex

8. Noth

9. Gothik

Some matchups were a bit tougher on some bosses than others! The monstrous Grobbulus had a dominating win rate against the undead-resurrecting Noth, while seasoned pitfighter Coren Direbrew was more than a match for the White King. Players couldn’t escape the churning tide of minions from Lady Naz’jar; she was the most played Hero in the Brawl!

Trivia

• The White King isn't actually a boss but the hero that is used by the player in the Black King encounter in the One Night in Karazhan adventure.
