Four prize cards, and none of them are legal in New Division
The Duelist's Summer Holiday II Heroes Set is back on sale, and the official notice carries a detail the storefront does not lead with: all four of its prize cards are barred from New Division. Not some of them. All of them.
What a Heroes Set is
A paid bundle, not a card pack. Each one contains five packs of the current set, one random prize card from that set's pool, and one skin chip. Four chips exchange for a character skin. Prize cards are alternate-art versions featuring PLAY'S characters, and skins change the cut-in animation that plays when you trigger a Shield Trigger.
This one, 『決闘者の夏休み 第2弾』 — SUMMER VACATION OF DUELIST II — returned to sale on 6 August at 18:00 JST. Being a rerun, its five skins are labelled 2025 summer: Kasumi, Glenn, Kaito, Q.E.D. and Wedding. Note that there are five skins but only four prize cards — they do not pair up one to one.
The four revealed so far
Three of the four were posted on 18–19 August, roughly one every few hours, each with a line from its character. The fourth, Kachua, is listed in the official notice but has not been given a reveal post.
The part that actually matters
This is not a nerf or a ban. Prize cards are alternate printings of older cards, and New Division only contains recent sets — so a prize card reprinting something from outside that window stays outside it. All four are fully legal in All Division.
It is worth knowing before spending, because the storefront does not lead with it. The restriction appears as a footnote under the prize card list, not on the purchase screen.
What you are actually buying
| Component | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Packs of the current set | 5 |
| Prize card, random from the pool | 1 |
| Skin chip | 1 |
Composition below is the standard Heroes Set format, documented on the Duel Masters wiki. This particular notice lists the prize cards and skins but does not restate the pack contents or price.
Four chips exchange for one skin. With five skins in this set, a full collection means twenty chips — twenty purchases. Skins are cosmetic: they change your avatar, add a Shield Trigger cut-in, and give the character a voiced presence on the home screen, including lines that fire on new set releases, events, and incoming presents.
