The game mode that was so electrifying, it demanded an encore.

In High Voltage, you will start the game with 2 cards, and draw 2 new cards each round. On each of the 3 turns, you and your opponent will gain the same amount of randomized energy to try and play out your best strategies. And to make sure it stays fast, certain locations and characters will be restricted, so no playing Magik to slow things down!

And don’t forget, playing High Voltage during the event is the ONLY way to unlock our newest card, Lasher, for FREE! The event ends on January 4th at 10:59am PST so don’t miss out or you’ll have to find Lasher in the token shop as a Series 4 card, available after the event ends on January 4th.
