Bolvar, Fireblood (Battlegrounds)

Bolvar, Fireblood is a Tier 4 minion in the Battlegrounds game mode.

Strategy
Bolvar needs a composition with multiple Divine Shield minions in order to be effective. In the early stages, he can suffice even if you have two or three other Divine Shield minions. However, if you wish to use him at the late game, you will need all the Divine Shields you can get, and tripling him is highly recommended. Bronze Warden, Selfless Hero, and Deflect-o-Bot with a few Mechs are powerful allies for Bolvar.

Bolvar's lack of tribe makes him difficult to buff, so heroes who can buff Bolvar like Edwin VanCleef, King Mukla, C'Thun (Battlegrounds) are much more effective at using Bolavar. Overlord Saurfang (Battlegrounds) synergizes well with Bolvar, as his hero power For the Horde! (Battlegrounds) has typically scaled to +10 attack or greater by the time Bolvar is available. Also Bolvar should not be given Taunt so that he can get buffed from other removed Divine Shields as much as possible first.

Compared to Drakonid Enforcer, the former is a Dragon and can scale stats more effectively and also gains Health, which makes it better to use in general, but one advantage Bolvar has is that he comes with Divine Shield, which can occasionally be better against massive or Poisonous minions, not to mention Dragons are somewhat difficult to buff until Tier 5+ and Bolvar is always available since he's tribeless.
