[2021.10.15] “Tower Defense” — Pumpkinmoon 2021

[Ollie]

We'll tell you about the thematic updates to the format of the battle at the Tower Defense Arena for the duration of the seasonal event.

We remind you that the battle in this format takes place as follows: two towers are located opposite each other on the location, each belonging to one of the teams, and the main task is to destroy the enemy tower faster than the opponents will destroy yours.

In honor of the holiday, the location has changed not only visually, but also received new mechanics that will help make the battle even more interesting and dynamic.

Let's see!

 

Pumpkins

The main symbol of Halloween — the pumpkin — is not just a part of the location’s decor, but also another way to destroy the opponents’ tower!

The location has 4 pumpkin monsers, that periodically respawn after death. Destroy them to deal damage to the opponents’ tower and demolish it first.

Keep in mind! You will need to deal the last hit to the monster, only in that case the kill will be credited to your team and the opponents’ tower will be damaged.

 

Power-ups

Supernatural activity surges in Archeon during the celebration of Pumpkinmoon, so unrested spirits have been sighted on the Cackling Graveyard! These creatures are obsessed with revenge and are ready to possess the players to boost their damage and health.

There will be three such spirits: one near each tower and one more in the center of the location.

Only one possession effect can be applied to a character at a time.

When the possessed character dies, the spirit remains at the place of his death, and another hero can immediately interact with him.

However, remember that the interaction process takes some time, during which the character should not receive damage.

Unleash the power of possession and crush your enemies!

 

Reward chests

And of course we did not forget about the thematic chests for winning in this Arena format!

For winning this format, you can get the Gloomy, Obsessed, or Ghost Pumpkins. In these chests, in addition to gold and standard equipment with PvP bonuses, you can find Halloween consumables:

• Sinister Pact - allows you to fight even after death.
• Horror Oil - will bring a curse upon your enemies.
• Amberian Gardener - a pretty explosive thing!

These items will not only help you in PvP, but also bring fun and holiday spirit into it.

P.S. Only one of the existing arena formats will be available at the same time, including Bounty Hunt and Knockout, but pumpkin chests will only be rewards for the new format.

In the schedule for changing the active format, we will try to take into account most players' time zones so that everyone can try Tower Defense and receive holiday consumables.

***

The battle format with the changes and rewards will appear in the game mode until the end of the month, and after that we will return it to its normal form. If you like the innovations, then we will definitely finalize them and introduce them into the game on an ongoing basis, modifying the theme.

As a reminder, the consumables obtained from Pumpkin Chests can be used until the middle of November.

Happy Pumpkinmoon!
