In Dungeon Defenders II, players must defend their Main Cores and Sub Objectives from various creatures. These creatures are the minions of the Old Ones, an overarching evil presence in the world of Etheria.

Multiplayer Scaling

In Multiplayer some key items increase slightly per player who joins, Excluding the Host.
You can expect the following changes in Multiplayer:

  • Enemies gain, (+20%, +40%, +60%) Health, and (+10-15%, +20-30%, +30-45%) Tenacity.
  • A barely perceptible Enemy Movement Speed increase.
