Costumes
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 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 also certain costumes that is alternatively obtainable through buying certain DLCs, 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, victory or spawn animations instead of regular ones.
