Elemental Rumble

Overview

From blaze balloons to poison pufferfish, Defenders have long since harnessed the elements to combat Etheria’s enemies—so much so that the corrupt magi of the Old One’s Army have taken a keen interest in the craft themselves! They’ve bound Etheria’s primal forces to stone, attuned their foot soldiers en masse, and set their sights on the Gates of Dragonfall. Brace yourself, Defender, for an all-out Elemental Rumble!

Elemental Rumble enters Dungeon Defenders 2 as a new gamemode that seeks to challenge Defenders’ elemental expertise and adaptability. Five maps will be available to play in Elemental Rumble at any given time, and these maps will rotate every week as the Old One’s war parties march across the kingdom. Successfully defend Eternia Crystals from earthen orcs, water-attuned warboars, and goblins that might actually just be on fire for a chance to discover ancient armor, new pets, and more!

The ‘Easy’ difficulty of Elemental Rumble can be unlocked by completing an expedition in Chaos VII or greater. ‘Medium’ and ‘Hard’ difficulties can be unlocked by completing an expedition in Chaos X.
