Notes[]
- This Secret triggers in the Inspire Phase after the player's Hero Power is used.[1]
- Example: If the opponent uses
Reinforce, the Dart Trap will have a chance to target the summoned
Silver Hand Recruit.
- Example: A minion mortally wounded by Dart Trap can still trigger its Inspire effect.[2]
- Dart Trap, like all other Secrets that directly deal damage, is affected by Spell Damage and
Prophet Velen.[3]
- Dart Trap will not trigger when a Passive Hero Power such as
Bewitch or
What Does This Do? is triggered.
Strategy[]
As the game goes on, it generally becomes more likely for the opponent to trigger this Secret, due to increasing mana as well as depleted hands, making Hero Power use more likely. Be aware that control decks such as Handlock and Control Warrior may activate this Secret early on with no minions on the board. Inspire decks will activate this readily, but more likely with useful minions on the board.
Lore[]
Dart Trap is original to Hearthstone.
The dart trap appears to be guarding the way to the Golden Monkey.

Patch changes[]
Patch 6.1.1.14406 (2016-09-15): Dart Trap will no longer be offered for selection in Arena.[4] However, until it left Standard, it was still obtainable in Arena matches through random effects (such as
Spellslinger).
Patch 5.0.0.12574 (2016-04-24): Now reads "After an opposing Hero Power is used..." instead of "When an opposing Hero Power is used...". The function appears to be unchanged.
Patch 4.0.0.10833 (2015-11-10): Added.
