Hello guys, patch 2.0.4 is coming soon and Blizzard are updated profile pages, where we can see new portraits, achievements, rewards and other things. Now we got 50+ new portraits and tons of new story achievements, which are very interesting to read if you're not afraid of spoilering story. Here are all new and some old portraits from Collector's Editions, leveling and campaign.

Leveling portraits

Here is my small fanart. This is recreated portrait of Emil Narud, using small 100x100 pixels portrait and basic Narud portrait from Wings of Liberty. I've decided to design it similar to Kerrigan's purple artifacts on the face, or Illusive Man's blue artifacts from Mass Effect 3.

What we know from Starcraft: Flashpoint is that Emil Narud have Xel'Naga artifact which dezergified Queen of Blades back to Sarah Kerrigan. This artifact also can kill any Zerg and Protoss DNA and can be massive weapon against those two races. How it will go - we will see, but I hope, it will be really great or just epic story.

Click to see bigger version.

Here is other part of datamine materials under following spoiler

+ Show Spoiler +
All new unit skins. As you can see, Protoss got only two skins because of no Collector's Edition skin from Legacy of the Void. Also Overlords will have antennas, zerglings - bigger wings, Marines - Mercenary attachments, Zealot will have dark zealot skin, Pylon and Supply Depot will have something new too.

All new dances you will recieve when reaching different levels:
  • Marauder (available by default)
  • Ghost
  • MULE
  • Viking
  • Queen (available by default)
  • Roach
  • Overlord
  • Infestor
  • Immortal (available by default)
  • Stalker
  • Oracle
  • Colossus


All new decals that you will recieve when leveling, purchasing Collector's Edition, or other achievements like Blizzcon or something like that.

Remember. Some of that information can be a bit uncorrect and outdated.


  • All the story information below is based on achievements from this page http://sea.battle.net/sc2/en/profile/508240/1/pebriniel/achievements/category/3211287
  • Infested Stukov is back and will lead Infested Swarm in one of the Swarm missions.
  • We will have 20 missions: beginning on Umoja and ending on Korhal:
    • Umoja - 3 missions
    • Char - 3 missions
    • Kaldir - 3 missions
    • Zerus - 3 missions
    • Skygeirr platform - 3 missions
    • Space missions - 2
    • Korhal - 3 missions

  • In Umoja missions we will fight against Dominion. We also will try to escape Umoja Labs. What we've seen in trailer with Nova invasion is the campaign beginning. In Rendezvous mission we must destroy Dominion structures before Naktul Brood arrives. Valerian portrait is the reward for completing these missions.

  • On Char we will fight against Za'Gara, second mission - against Terrans on Char and special Gorgon Battlecruiser. Third mission is against Warfield himself on Char too. Za'Gara portrait is the reward for Char missions.

  • On Kaldir we will play mission with freezing structures and units (you saw in preview), next mission - Shoot the Messenger (we will try to kill all escaping Protoss ships), and third mission will allow us to control Giant Ursadon. Reward for Kaldir missions - Lasarra portrait (woman Protoss which infested by larva in trailer)

  • On Zerus we will fight against Primal Zergs. First mission will be around killing Primal Hives. Second one - Kerrigan's cocoon defending and fight against Tyrannozor, and in third mission - fullscale invasion with achievement "Kill 500 units". Reward for Zerus missions - Dehak portrait.

  • Skygeirr Platform - these three missions with Infested Stukov portrait as reward, will tell us about leading Infested Swarm. In second and third missions in this category we will fight against Hybrids.

  • Space missions will be with hyperion Battlecruiser. First mission is about collecting minerals and avoiding mines. Second mission - I don't understand what it will be, but one of achievements is don't lose more than 50% of Kerrigan's health.

  • And last portion of 3 missions will be on Korhal. In first mission we must destroy Augustgrad gates, in second mission we will control Dehak monster, third mission achievements are about saving Hyperion from death (achievement called "Swarm Guardain") and killing Odin before Mengsk sends it to Raynor's forces.

That second spoiler warning inside the first one saved me from spoils. Thank you for knowing that we are all stupid enough to autoclick stuff.

Weird to see what could be infested Stukov considering he was already cured of his Zerg infestation earlier according to lore.

And of course, the Duran-Narud thing is even more confirmed now, if the name thing wasn't obvious enough.

How stupid are you not to put this in Spoiler-Tags after everyone else put this information there?!?!

Are the first 30(10 for each race) portraits new 1v1 Heart of the swarm portraits? They look sweet :D
Furthermore, I think the Collosi should be removed! (Zorgaz -Terran/AbrA-Random/Zorg-Dota2) Guineapigs <3
