Weapons are special cards Cards are the basic pieces that make up the game of Hearthstone. Each card represents an action that the player can take by playing that card. There are three main types of cards: spell cards, 
which can be equipped by heroes A hero is a character in the Warcraft universe representing the player. In Hearthstone, this concept is expressed in three interrelated but distinct ways: Heroes are gameplay characters representing players or bosses within a match.

- Weapons are only active or `unsheathed` during the possessing hero`s turn Hearthstone takes place in turns. Each turn gives a player the opportunity to act. At the end of each turn, play is passed back to the other player. A round describes one turn for each .

- If a hero with an active weapon attacks another character, the weapon will lose 1 Durability. Be that as it may, if a hero with an active weapon is attacked by another character, their weapon will not lose Durability. The latter case generally only occurs through special effects, such as Misdirection Misdirection Set: Classic Type: Spell Class: Hunter Rarity: Rare Cost: 2 Abilities: Secret Tags: Combat-related, Triggered effect Secret: When a character attacks your hero, instead he attacks another random character.Sometimes it s as simple as putting

While weapon Attack is `sheathed` at the end of the player`s turn, it is automatically regained next turn.
