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 [url=https://news.duelyst2.com/duelyst-ii-patch-0-2-33/]website[/url], it has pictures! The patch will go live October 12th at around 7pm EST. [h1]New Keyword: Fading[/h1] Cards with Fading cannot be replaced and disappear at the end of your turn. The following token cards now have Fading: - Afterglow - Blink - Malice [h1]Balance Changes[/h1] 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. [h2]Divine Bond[/h2] [Old] Lyonar | Spell | [b]3[/b] | [b]Give a minion +Attack[/b] equal to its Health.
