Duo Mode

A 2v2 Duo mode has been permanently added to the game. According to Drodo’s in game announcement, a Ranked Duo mode is also to be introduced in the future.

Removed Stone Spirit

Although not in the patch notes, it appears that Stone Spirit has also been removed from the game (likely part of Drodo’s usual unit cycling that they have been doing).

However this is the first time where the removal of a unit has also meant a change to the available synergies. With the remove of Stone Spirit means that it is no longer possible to unlock the (4) Spirit synergy.
