Revenge Deck: every hit on the Dragon Duke hits back

The Dragon Duke's second Epic equipment counters every defense that damages him, healing him with each card it throws. Here are the stats, the rules it plays by and how it compares.

Revenge Deck

4 / 5

Revenge Deck came out on August 12, 2026 in the Awesome Medal Event. It is the Dragon Duke's second Epic equipment, and a passive one: there is no button to press. Whenever a defense or enemy unit damages the Duke, he throws a card back at it, dealing damage and healing himself a little.

The rules of the counter

  • Each attacker can be countered at most once every 0.8 seconds. Several attackers are countered independently, each with its own cooldown.
  • Traps, defensive spells and non-damaging effects such as an Air Sweeper's push are never countered.
  • Attacks from very far away, such as an Eagle Artillery across the map, are out of reach.
  • Units that die as they attack, such as Yetimites, and chain or aura damage are not countered either.
  • Difficulty modifiers do not change the counter's damage or healing.

Where it shines

The counter scales with how many things are shooting at the Duke. Against a lone Inferno Tower it is a modest trickle of healing. Flying into a dense core, where Scattershots, Multi-Gear Towers and Firespitters all target him at once, each of them gets its own card and its own heal. The busier the fight, the more the Deck returns.

The flat bonuses carry it in the quiet moments: +3,200 hitpoints and +86 damage per second at max level are worth a slot on their own. That makes it an easy pick, because it is never dead weight even when the counters are not firing.

Our evaluation

Revenge Deck is the opposite of a skill piece. It asks nothing of you and rewards aggressive pathing into heavy defense. Its weakness is burst damage: a counter heals 75 at best, which does not save a Duke caught by a single huge hit.
