{{stub}}[[File:New_Main_Costume_Image.png|thumb|Costumes gives your heroes a brand new thematic look from the standard garbs. Weapons not included.]] Costumes are different visual skins that are available for your heroes instead of using the Standard Garbs. They can be equipped through the Seamstress at the Emporium in the Tavern/Town Hub or through the Cosmetics section which can be accessed through the player's inventory. Along with Accessories, [[Flairs ]] and Accessories[[Tower Skins]], they make up DD2's cosmetics system.
All costumes have minimum an accessory to fill in each accessory slot.
== Acquiring Costumes ==
Most costumes are acquired through premium currency ([[gems]]) is currently one of the ways Chromatic Games (formerly Trendy Entertainment ) hopes to make money through DD2 which is a Free-to-Play game. As such in order to avoid a pay-to-win scenario, costumes are only cosmetic, affecting animations and graphics but not providing stat benefits.
* There are certain costumes that are obtainable without using premium currency. Those are only through Defender Pack (which will have a certain chance to drop in Onslaught or acquired through premium currency). However, there are two that can only be acquired through obtaining codes by social media (liking DD2's Facebook Page and following DD2's Twitter page).* And there are also certain costumes that is alternatively available obtainable through buying certain DLCs too, though its content may vary.
== What Does Costumes Provides ==
Each costumes provides a unique visual card for your deck and accessories that makes the character different. However, those accessories cannot be mixed between other costumes' accessories. Some costumes have multiple accessories for certain slots that you can switch between for unique looks, hence the same costume may look different in certain configurations.
Certain costumes does provide unique healing, death and , victory or spawn animations instead of regular ones.
== Costume Themes ==
Costumes that are thematic may denote an event and/or a fashion collection. There are different themes available for the current heroes. However, not all themes currently do have costumes available for all heroes.
* There are currently 7 8 themes that are currently availableto purchase or obtainable from defender packs.# Galactic costumes* '''[[The Awakening Costumes]]'''# * '''[[Dragonfall Carnival costumes (Dragonfall Carnival)Costumes]]''' * '''[[Burning Souls Skeletons Costumes]]'''# * '''[[Shadow costumes (Dragonfall Carnival)Costumes]]''' # * '''[[Galaxy skins Costumes]]'''# * '''[[Permafrost costumesCostumes]]'''# Plexus costumes# * '''[[Jade Guardian skinsCostumes]]'''* '''[[Plexus Costumes]]'''
=== Exclusives Themes ===However, there is two themes that is only available during seasonal periods.
These are themes that are exclusive as they signify past events * '''[[Grave Danger Skeletons Costumes]]''' (available only at that particular timeHalloween)* '''[[Humbug Holiday Costumes]]''' (Winter Event) or other circumstances. Those will never be available ever again.
* There These are currently 5 also themes that are exclusives.# Dragonfall Defenders costumes exclusive as they signify past events (Defense Council)# Survivor costumes (Survivor Event 2015)# Skeleton skins (Halloween Event 2015)# Humbug Holiday costume (Christmas Event 2015)# Burning Souls skins (Halloween Event 2016available only at that particular time)or other circumstances. Those will never be available ever again as to not break the promise on them being Limited Editions or being exclusive to that event.
== Acquiring Costumes for Cheaper Prices == === Waiting for Costume Sales=== === Buying Costume Bundles === These are costumes that aren't exactly made to be a set but conceptually related enough to create a thematic bundle to sell them. * '''Technological Upgrade Bundle''' (EV2 MK3, Techwitch and Cybermancer.)* '''Heating Up Bundle''' (Molten Master, Molten Juggernaut and Doomfire Regalia.)* '''Legendary Guardian Supporter Bundle'In alphabetical order''(Guardian of the Dead, Guardian of the Molten Citadel, Guardian of Fire and Guardian of the Storm.)* '''Among Gods Bundle''' (The Snake God's Vessel, Bone Dragon's Battlegear and Firelord Adept.)* '''Death Dealers Bundle''' (Forbidden Magic Apprentice, Cursed Lord of the Desert and Zombiemancer.)* '''Dragon Kingdom Bundle''' (Dragon Captain and Dragon Commander)* '''Desert Conquerors Bundle''' (Marauder Apprentice and Clockwork Squire)* '''Ancient Sands Bundle''' (Scarab Lord and Wind Guardian)* '''Anime Bundle''' (Anime Gunwitch, Anime Huntress, Anime Countess, Anime Adept and Anime Mystic) == Apprentice Costumes =='''List of costumes for the Apprentice.'''{| class="wikitable sortablemw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width: 100%;"|+ style="text-align: left; position: relative; top: -30px; left: 240px; width: 70px;" |
