Greetings, Defenders! Today—among the reactivation of Player Shops and a slew of bug fixes—we're introducing a new seasonal event; the Festival of Hearts!
This modest, but nevertheless lovely limited-time event sees the introduction of Violet Marygold, a new vendor who sells event-unique consumables, as well as the introduction of the Cupid Hunter costume and Valentine accessories!
The Festival of Hearts will run through March 11th.
Additionally, with the reintroduction of Player Shops, we'll be holding a tax-free event until February 16th AND double Defender Pass XP over the weekend; February 15th and 16th.
Violet Marygold's Valentine Shop
Etheria is like a box of chocolates—you never know what you're gonna get. One moment it could be raining loot, and the next, exploding Kobolds! Thankfully, with the aid of Violet Marygold's concussive cupcakes and speed-boosting chocolate strawberries, Defenders will be well-equipped to conquer any opposition that besets them this Valentine's season.
Event Consumables
Violet Marygold can be found in the Tavern and Town Hub selling Festival of Hearts Crates. These can be purchased once each day for 100 gold, and contain a variety of consumables that—for 60 minutes—grant a powerful effect;
- Chocolate Strawberry - The impending sugar rush after consuming one of these increases movement speed by 25% and ability power by 10%.
- Chocolate Heart - Instantly revives the hero after death. Can only occur once every 80 seconds.
- Cupcake - Causes basic Attacks to have a 25% chance to stun, and you deal 25% more damage to enemies effected by crowd control.
- Rose - Upon taking damage, reflects 100% of you max heath back to the attacker.
- Teddy Bear - The comfort this bear brings increases Heath by 10%, armor by 25%, and when struck, increase your hero damage by 15% for 3 seconds.
