New Mechanic coming with Immortal Vanguard
Hey Duelyst fans! We have a new mechanic coming with the next expansion: Build.
Build is a keyword that will appear on minions followed by a number, for example - Build: (2)
When you summon a minion with the Build keyword, it comes into play as a 0/10 Structure.
At the beginning of your turn, your minion's build counter decrements by one: this occurs every turn until the build counter reaches zero.
Once the build counter reaches zero, the Structure will transform into the minion you played from your action bar!
At this point, the minion is fully active and can begin to move and attack.
Learn more about Build
As you may have noticed, there are different colors for Build Structures.
In fact, every faction will sport its own unique color scheme for their Build minions!
But wait, there's still more to learn!
While a minion is "Building," you cannot dispel the fact that it is building and will transform at the end of its build countdown.
This means that you can treat buildings as regular Structures - you can target them with spells, heal them, damage them, transform them, destroy them, etc.
They will however eventually transform into their final form if not destroyed or removed (edit: this includes transform effects).
In the case that a Build structure is returned to the action bar, the owner will receive a copy of the original minion - not a 0/10 Structure. This means you can play your minion again and start the Build process from the beginning.
Any buffs that are applied to a Build minion while the card is in your action bar will apply to the final/transformed version after it is done Building.
And finally, a "Building" is considered a token, so it is not a viable target for revive effects (you can, however, revive the final product).
Now that you've learned about how Build works, let's get ready for some Build spoilers coming out this week!
