Duelyst Patch 1.91 is expected to deploy later on October 24th, 2017

Witness the new horizon of the next expansion - Immortal Vanguard!

Immortal Vanguard Keyart

If you haven't caught the news yet, the next expansion Immortal Vanguard is coming soon!

For the first time since Duelyst launch, we are introducing new Generals!

Want more exciting news? Those Generals will also be available with this patch!

You can unlock them in one of two ways

  • Pre-order the Immortal Vanguard Bundle and you will unlock all six new Generals
  • Winning 10 Ranked games with a faction will unlock that faction's new General

Immortal Vanguard Pre-orders

IV Preorder

To celebrate our next expansion, we have a special pre-order in place: get 35 Orbs for 3500 Diamonds!

As mentioned above, this pre-order will also unlock all six new Generals in your collection immediately.

So stock up on some expansion orbs and start playing with the new faces of your favorite factions!

Balance Changes

We have some tweaks we'd like to include with this patch pertaining to some Unearthed Prophecy cards. As always, our goal is not to redefine the meta by introducing balance changes. Our hopes are that you the players will develop counter strategies over time and evolve a new meta without our influence. However, we will still monitor the state of the game and step in whenever we deem absolutely necessary.

Azure Summoning Changes

Azure Summoning - Cost changed from 0 to 1

Azure Summoning creates explosive turns by combining Skywing with low-cost Flying minions such as Dragonlark. We like the unique deckbuilding and gameplay aspects of this card, but these moments have proven to happen a little too early and a little too often. By increasing the cost of Azure Summoning from 0 to 1 mana, these moments can remain unique and powerful at a more reasonable pace and frequency.

Phantasm Changes

Phantasm - Ability changed to “Whenever your opponent summons a minion, give a minion in your action bar +1 Attack”

Phantasm has a powerful ability that can get out of hand if left unchecked. The mounting tension this card brings to the game can be exciting, but not having an immediate response causes this 2-drop to have a disproportionately large impact on the game. By lowering the attack bonus from 2 to 1, you may not need an immediate answer to this threat while still needing to respect its presence on the board.

For roughly one week after these changes, Azure Summoning and Phantasm will be disenchantable for full spirit value.

New Bosses & Schedule

If you're a Boss Battle fan or just looking to snag a free orb, we have more new bosses coming your way!

On a smaller note, we are also experimenting with a new schedule for bosses.

Boss Battles will now run from Thursdays to Tuesdays every week, starting and ending at 2pm PDT.

Don’t Forget Your Free Keys!

Pretty respectable changes, and a reasonably affordable pre order. Really looking forward for these weeks leading up to the expansion!

Eh, kinda sad bout the Phantasm nerf, but the Azure nerf makes me happy, because now I can vial that card and get full vale, because I ain`t using it anyways.

I hate to be that guy, and while both these changes are reasonable, I am really disappointed.

Azure to one mana was certainly the easiest way to solve the problem, there were more elegant solutions but this does the job.

Phantasm needed to exist to counter azure, but phantasm also needed to exist to counter flawless Vanar, and Azure needed to be there to outpace it. While the azure solution solves the problem, this one doesent, phantasm is now still a miserable hard counter to oblysks and swarm but now to weak to really carry decks or force answers vs most things. The problem with phantasm was it proccing on non token minions, and less its numbers. This will work but I am not a fan.

But the real problem here is now we have fixed two of the problem cards, but they were what helped counter the biggest problem that is flawless Vanar.

All three needed to be changed at once leaving any of them untouched means we will now be in for, in this case, another Vanar dominance, combined with the most toxic deck in the format 8gates/mantra, metagame.

Thank you for this, but flawless/luminous desperately need attention more so then ever now that it has lost its competition, and as usual gates/mantra do to. Please revert flawless to pre change and make luminous three walls that do four damage each.

And pleaseeeeeeeee at the very least make boulder hurl minion only and abjucator reduce one selected card or one random one per turn to reign in 8gates/mantra.


Very hyped for the new generals! They all look great.

These nerfs look okay, there may be a few more needed, but nothing against them.

Can someone tell me how may euros / dollars are 3500 diamonds?

4200 = 40USD, 15char

You could also buy a $15 and 2 $5 packages

Wait. I just realized that we’re actually getting the newgenerals this patch. Guess we will finally know what the egg, husk, and spellswords really do then!

Still waiting for the steam side update. The Bandai Namco client is updated fine.

Isnt the update coming mid November?

Also we should not forget to check Maehv’s AWESOME BBS!!!

Some of it has already been spoiled. The ‘ripper’ minion is a 3/1 with celerity and rebirth.

No gambler nerf means the patch is incomplete. This card is stupid, and all-too-frequently invalidates gauntlet games in a single turn. Similar to Grimes, but worse. Roll high enough and win.

Answering myself.

Maehv’s awesome BBS summons a quantity of 4/4 husks equal to sacrificed minion’s attack. And no self dmg. Sacrificing Variax makes 8 4/4 husks. It’s AWESOME!!!

First time we can have preorder through Diamond only … coincidence … first expansion I’m not going to pay for. You won’t shove these diamonds up my throat :wink:

New generals and the current nerfs are updating today

Diamonds I do not mind, its only as long as they don’t match the price of my purchase that I will likely boycott them.

If there is a way to buy the exact number of diamonds to equal the preorder and or a couple of orb packages added on I will gladly do it, otherwise I will likely avoid it.
