It's been a while since the last patch. Unfortunately the second set of the Sister cards need more time in the oven, so in the meantime we're releasing a few simple balance changes that aims to shake up the meta slightly and keep things interesting.
You can also read the patch notes on the Duelyst II website, it has pictures!
The patch will go live October 12th at around 7pm EST.
New Keyword: Fading
Cards with Fading cannot be replaced and disappear at the end of your turn.
The following token cards now have Fading:
- Afterglow
- Blink
- Malice
Balance Changes
Note that any given balance change falls under 1) a feel-good change that makes the card better to play with 2) a change to make the card less frustrating to play against or 3) a change to increase the card's play rate. As a result, there wont be explanations for each card as to why it was changed.
