Staff's Avatar by Staff

With this week’s scheduled maintenance, Blizzard is rolling out an update to the Challenger’s Peril affix to create a more balanced experience in Mythic Keystones.

Starting October 29, Challenger’s Peril will add an extra 90 seconds to the timer alongside the existing 15-second death penalty.


With scheduled weekly maintenance (tomorrow, October 29 in this region), we will update the Challenger’s Peril affix.

  • Challenger’s Peril now adds an additional 90 seconds to the timer of Mythic Keystones in addition to the 15 second death penalty.

We wish for Challenger’s Peril to emphasize precise play and place a greater risk on players’ decisions as they progress through higher Keystone levels. With this goal in mind, we want to give players a bit more breathing room for these decisions by adding a bonus to Challenger’s Peril, while maintaining the penalty aspect of the affix.
