Patch v3.1.10 (6/08/2025) ​

Hello Blitzers! ​

Great moments last weeks for our community - stream by beloved @Ch0c0bu and another first time stream by @ZombiesGoNomNom. There were more marketing efforts behind the scenes and we're happy to see week-to-week user growth. This patch has card balance changes and few new ones.

Background

Client Changes ​

  1. Blitz Streams are visible in WATCH tab. Any Twitch user with Duelyst: Blitz as category will be shown there (unless blacklisted).
  2. Fixed second Tutorial mission crashing on iOS.
  3. Fixed last Solo Challenge mission to be solvable.

Card Changes ​

We want to see more 5-6 mana cards played, but we don't want to make them absolute table-flippers. In Blitz early advantages should still account to high win chance. Therefore, optimal way to incentivize playing high-curve cards was to tune down card draw options where possible.

Vetruvian ​

BeforeAfter
Wind ShrikeWind Shrike 2

It could benefit from changing the effect entirely, but we're going with this adjustment first.


BeforeAfter
Lavastorm ObelyskLavastorm Obelysk 2

Wasn't played at all. Good Obelysk vs Obelysk card. There is a concern of full Obelysk deck, but it dictates low mana curve. Vetruvian seems to need to mix some 5-6 mana cards - and luckily none of them has a strong Dervish synergy. We will monitor if Obelysks end up being OP.

Magmar ​

BeforeAfter
Diretide FrenzyDiretide Frenzy 2

It's very situational positioning-wise and requires minion sticking on the board. Definitely 0 mana.


BeforeAfter
Embryotic InsightEmbryotic Insight 2

Using 1 mana to get 1 card (because you lose the one you casted) - and only when very specific condition is met? Terrible. Now it looks better.


BeforeAfter
Evolutionary ApexEvolutionary Apex 2

Looks scary, but let's hope enemy has Provoke minion in action bar.


BeforeAfter
Primordial GazerPrimordial Gazer 2

3/2 looks fine.


BeforeAfter
Twin FangTwin Fang 2

Legendary cards are most contemplated. This change gives Magmar big & scary identity he deserves and removes overlooked OTK.

Abyssian ​

BeforeAfter
Shadow WatcherShadow Watcher 2

Accidental 2 mana looks good - had a lot of success with translating swarm minions into a bulky one. But 3/3 seems fair.


BeforeAfter
Void PulseVoid Pulse 2

Spell gets more skill cap and relies on hand usage/draw prediction. Deck building may favor putting less than 3 copies. Has anti-synergy with Alcuin and Rite. Basically solves every Abyssian problem - and is still very strong.

Neutral ​

BeforeAfter
NecroseerNecroseer 2

As before, to limit card draw.


BeforeAfter
SojournerSojourner 2

As above.


BeforeAfter
Void HunterVoid Hunter 2

As above.


BeforeAfter
AethermasterAethermaster 2

Amazing card, and I'm glad it doesn't have White Widow. Should be useful on it's own and I'm curious to see it in Blitz veteran's hands.

New Cards ​

Neutral ​

New
Araki Headhunter

Added from OG Duelyst.


New
Prophet Of The White Palm

Added from OG Duelyst. 0-1 mana slots are very busy, so giving it a body.


New
Ember Nymph

New card. Also deals damage to itself on spawn. Could be helpful in certain decks and versus certain decks.

Summary ​

Thanks for going through 3.1.10 Patch Notes. Will Magmar finally go above 30% Win Ratio? Join Duelyst: Blitz Discord to let us know.
