Minion Masters!
This week marks the start of our Team Battle event, where you can play with friends or strangers and finally try out that ridiculous combo you came up with but needed 16 cards to make work.
There are now three ladders:

Each rank only resets when the Season does, so your premade rank is the same no matter which friend you play with.
You can also play Friend Team Battles by inviting 3 friends to the same lobby. There is no ranking in friend battles, just like in the Battle mode.
But how does it actually work in the game?
It’s actually really simple; There’s two Masters on the Master Tower. Health is increased and each Master has their own mana and hand, although mana is reduced a little.
XP is shared, so both Masters on a team level up together.
The event will run for two weeks, but Team Battles will stay afterwards - perhaps being disabled for short periods while in Beta.
Free Legendary card - Musketeer
Those who completed the Best of Brawny event will automatically get the new Legendary card - Musketeer for their collection. It’s also available for crafting by anyone.

He’s an elite fighter of the Slither Servants, trained for decades in the art of fencing and agile maneuvers.
The Musketeer has the ability to avoid an attack with a parry, though he is still vulnerable to spells.
If an enemy is nearby after a parry, he can riposte for critical damage.
After parrying, it takes a short time for him to be able to parry again.
