B84 and B85 went live on October 12, 2026 on desktop. They extend the Wizard City crossover beyond The Commons with a street to explore and card duels to fight. Web and mobile are unchanged by these two releases.
New in B84
- Unicorn Way. The gate in The Commons leads to a haunted street with wandering wisps and patrolling monsters.
- Places to enter. Doors along the street lead into Lady Blackhope's Tower, Rattlebones' Tower, the thief's house and the Hedge Maze. The towers have bosses.
- Card duels. Walk into a monster and a duel starts on a battle circle:
- each round you have 30 seconds to pick a card from your hand, pass or flee;
- spells cost pips, which build up each round, and have a chance to fizzle;
- there are seven schools of magic;
- up to four players can fight on one side, and you can join a duel that is already running nearby.
- Starter deck. Every player gets a starter deck. The Spell Deck window shows your cards.
- Rewards. Each defeated monster pays Fusion Matter and taros, and counts for your quests.
- Eight quests. The Unicorn Way quests appear as missions, with a marker to the next objective.
- Defeat. If you lose a duel you revive where you entered with half health. Defeated monsters and collected wisps return after 30 seconds.
New in B85
- Wizard interface. Health and mana globes, your card hand, chat and deck are drawn in their own style and scale with the window. Type
/w101uito switch that interface on or off. - Mouse control. The cursor is free in these zones. Click a card, then click a target. Drag with the right mouse button to turn the camera.
- Quest guidance. An objective marker leads you through the right doors, a guide sends first-time visitors to Merle Ambrose, and the journal shows only Wizard City quests while you are there.
- No normal combat. Regular FusionFall combat is switched off in these zones.
Fixes in B85
- The gate in The Commons stands open.
- Floor fog and the duel circle on Unicorn Way draw correctly.
- Interface buttons that did nothing now work.
