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.
