* <u>Special Weapon MOD</u> - '''Celebration!!!''', "fires two homing projectiles that detonate in a festive explosion dealing 72% Hero Damage as magical damage over a small area." The values are fixed, so it does not matter what level the weapon is or what level the MOD is. The explosion flair is fireworks, and hits for a very limited AOE attack. The projectiles are two homing rockets that fire in separate horizontal arcs, making an oval pattern, with the size of the arc is based on how far away the target you are aiming at when you fire. If it misses, the rocket will spin around the target and attempt to hit it again, and eventually explode. Since the projectiles arc, there is a void spot directly in front of EV2 that it cannot hit at very close range, so this weapon is best used at any distance. The projectile will apply any crowd control or elemental values of the hero upon contact with the enemy.

As play commences on the first wave, the ground spawns will all commence with their schedules and the air lanes will produce a set number of Altar Assassins each wave[[File:Altar_of_the_Athame_Mechanic_Locations. Altar Assassins are a version png|The Locations of the Dark Assassin with a unique flair that are invulnerable to any attacks. Altar Assassins will hunt down and attack the hero, and will follow them the entire wavestage mechanics - (Clockwise) I. They do not latch onto the hero, like Dark Assassins do. After they spawn, they follow their air lane to the crystal, and then seek out the hero the rest of the wave. If you come near one that just spawned, it will begin following you right away. They do not attack the crystal, so there is no need to try and stop them. They do not intentionally attack any defenses, however they will sometimes possibly attack a barricade on their path, so all you need to do is come near one and it will then chase you the rest of that wave. When attacking you, Realm Altar Assassins can damage you along with what you are next to, so be mindful about standing on the crystal or next to a defenseII. They are covered in a dark skin flair while they are invulnerableNorth Assassin's Bell, and they can be seen on the minimap as an air enemyIII. While you cannot damage then, you can still attack them and all crowd control effects will workAssassin's Potion Table & IV. Slow, Stun, and Freeze can be applied and will have an effect. Defenses do not target these enemies, but Altar Assassins will be affected by any attack they are in the path of. This means that Tower based defenses are hard to hit them with, but Aura and AOE based ones are much easier to use against them. They move slow, and their attacks also push your hero slightly, moving them. You cannot pass under or jump through them. That can make getting around them a tad tricky at times, especially in large numbers that all follow you constantly throughout the wave. Be careful not to stand in a corner or next to a ledge when they find and attack you, as they can push you over the side or you can get trapped in a corner. To lead them away, just go stand anywhere else and wait for them to follow youSouth Assassin's Bell. |thumb]]
There are also stage mechanics that have been added to this incursion to assist you[[File:HbryKcX. On the East end jpg|First part of the map in the long horseshoe shaped hallway that ritual - Collect the heroes first spawn in, there is a table with a blue flask on it. You can interact with this flask to receive a blue potion debuff and gain invulnerability for 20 seconds. Ritual Items (left) dropped by defeating Dark Assassins can still attach to you, and you can still not jump through Altar Assassins, but you will take no damage from any enemy attacks. If you switch heroes or fall down a hole on the map, you will lose the debuff. Also found in the hallway on the North and South ends are a single bell in both locations. Interact with the bell or attack it to ring it. Ringing the bell will stun all Altar Assassins on the stage for a few seconds. You can ring each bell once every 20 secondsProphets (right). |thumb]]
<u>Special Weapon</u> - '''Shadowflame''' (dagger for the [[Mystic]]). Has 1 spread, 2 speed, and can be Medium or Light type. <u>Special Weapon MOD</u> - '''Shadowflame Knife''', "Secondary Attucks fire a Shadowflame Knife dealing XX% Hero Damage as Magical Damage. Daggers bounce up to X times." Chaos 5 values [25-61%, 3-? times], Chaos 7 values [31-67%, 3-8 times]. Primary attacks are unaffected. The dagger is a slow projectile that shoots one at a time, straight forward. It is slow, and with a quick Hero Speed you can outrun it. When it hits an enemy, it will then bounce to the next random enemy that is within close proximity. The daggers do not reflect off of surfaces or pierce. The projectile will apply any crowd control or elemental values of the hero upon contact with the enemy. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|}
'''<u>Special Weapon Reward</u>''' - [[File:Glaive_of_the_Storm_Icon.png|35px]] '''Glaive of the Storms''' ([[Weapons#Polearms|polearm]] for the [[Monk]]/[[Initiate]]). Has 1-5 spread, 2-4 speed, and can be Heavy or Medium type.
* <u>Special Weapon MOD</u> - '''Storm Rider''', "Ride a cloud that changes your attacks to lightning dealing XXX% Ability Power as Storm Damage for XX seconds. Enemies under get drenched and are hit for XXX% of Ability Power as Storm Damage every 2 seconds." Chaos 5 values [132-190%, 15-15s, 264-?%], Chaos 7 values [172-230%, 15-15s, 344-460%]. This MOD deals both drench and Storm Attack, so it has the ability to stun enemies. It has no Secondary attack, but instead gives the hero the ability of flight. On the ground, the Primary attack is unaffected by the MOD. When the cloud is activated, the hero will raise up a small amount vertically, even after a double jump, which allows the hero to reach some hard to get to locations on maps. Your Primary attack while on the cloud changes to a stream of lightning that fires to where you aim it, and you can hold down the fire button for a continuous stream attack. The projectile will apply any crowd control values of the hero upon contact with the enemy. Your Secondary attack button while on the cloud ends your flight right away.

All normal minibosses may spawn, but typically just one spawns on Wave 3 from the "Gazebo Tower" spawn in the NW corner. Sniper Warbleed (large version of a [[Hex_Throwers|Hex Thrower]]) also commonly spawns on Wave 5 from any lane. A miniboss named Malthius (large version of a [[Dark_Mages|Dark Mage]]) is present as an NPC in the center of the map, hovering above the skeleton spawn point, right where the two lanes mergeFile:Malthius_the_Learned. He does not do anything on Waves 1-4, but on Wave 5, he will drop down and become a miniboss about mid-way through the battle. Also on Wave 5, 2 [[Ogrepng|Ogres]] will spawn from the 2 lanes on either side of Malthius. The Orges will spawn first, and then Malthius drops soon after that.

They target towers, and will fly quickly forward once attacked, and explode on impact disabling everything these fliers are much faster in the explosion area for almost a half minute.

The Horde lane will consist of large numbers of three enemy types - [[Kobolds_(Regular)|Kobolds]] (Tier 2 - skate version), mini versions of [[Quibly]], and mini versions of [[Griblok]]. This map has no air lanes on any waves. The Horde comes in groups of tight packs with Kobolds in front, mini-Gribloks next, and followed by mini-Quiblys.

A 3rd air lane is added on the north end of the map (Birch Path - above Ruin Cave lane). Each air lane has up to three different types of enemies ([[Wyverns]], [[Kobolds_(Flying)|Flying Kobolds]], and [[Lightning Bugs]]). Cyborks will target auras, nodes, and traps but do not target towers. The more range your towers have, the better. Air lanes will number from 30-50 in each lane as waves progress, and typically all spawn late in the wave. On Wave 4, one air lane will drop to only 12 enemies, and on Wave 5 all three drop to only 12. This means you can readjust your air defenses on the last waves, and possibly move some towers into position to help with minibosses instead.

They are a more powerful version of kobolds which also have the ability to fire rockets everywhere in a medium radius around them. The rockets are very deadly as they could result in a one hit death to a hero.

Once a nugget is given to '''The Kobold Bling King''' at a lit up circle near his feet, a small brown gold bag will appear to represent that completed nugget (image above). The map is dark, so the gold nuggets can be hard to see, but they do sparkle. You can only hold 1 gold nugget at a time, and must return it to the Kobold King within 20 seconds, or you will lose that nugget. If you switch heroes or die while you have a nugget, you will lose it.

Gold can be found in 12 or so hidden locations on the map (see the map beside), of which about 2-4 are generated at the beginning of the wave at random and a couple more nuggets will generate as the stage progresses. On Wave 5, up to 7 hidden nuggets can randomly spawn as the stage progresses. Gold is also dropped by special minibosses that constantly spawn from lanes called Golden Crystal Beasts (a large gold flair [[Witherbeasts|Witherbeast]]). Each of these minibosses will drop one gold nugget. The dropped nuggets can stack on the ground in the same wave. Once the required amount of nuggets has been given to the Kobold King in a wave, that wave will end. All dropped, held, and hidden gold nuggets will vanish at the end of each wave. Be careful not to place or aim defenses too close to a spawn point so that when the Golden Crystal Beasts drops the nugget, it falls outside of the spawn point and you can reach it.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">Chaos Four enemies have hefty defenses against attacks that cause slow, so be sure to adjust your layout to account for the [[Berserker_Orc|Berserker Orcs]] that will rush out from the ground lanes. They can be stunned, frozen, and launched into the air though, so those are good tactics to stall them. Well placed barricades will also help to keep them from the crystal.
[[File:Cleansing_Swords_and_Location.png|A Cleansing Sword and their locations.|thumb]]
Once each wave begins, at some point during the wave a Spectral Knight will spawn from any of the ground lanes. Spectral Knights are large, floating [[Squire]]-like transparent ghosts that cannot be damaged by any weapons or stopped by any defense or barricade. They slowly move on the enemy path they spawn from directly towards the crystal, and do not stop until they get there. Once there, they attack the crystal doing 500 points of damage a second, which is a relatively small amount. They do not harm any defenses or heroes. Each Knight is either colored Red, Green or Purple, and when they spawn the game message will tell you what color they are in text, and the message text itself will also be in that same color as well. The Knights are not shown on the mini-map, but are represented on the actual map by a skull and crossbones icon of the same color that they are. Keep this in mind as you cannot tell by looking at the minimap how close they are to the crystal.
To cleanse the Knights from the stage, you must use an environmental mechanism found on only this incursion. Under the center of the map, there is a lower level in the shape of a horseshoe that exits out at each of the 3 major spawn sections. On either side of each exit inside the lower level, you will find an altar with a sword, with 4 total altars. You can interact with the altar, which will cause it to change color from red, to green, and then purple - always in that sequence, and only one color change per an interaction. To cleanse a knight, you must set all four altars to the same color as the knight you want to cleanse. Once all 4 are the same color, approach any of the 4 altars to receive a color debuff, as shown on the screen as an attack symbol in the color of the altar, and it will last 45 seconds. You should get it automatically when you set the 4th altar, but you can reset the 45 sec timer at any time by just approaching any of the 4 altars, as long as they are all still the same color. Each knight floats in the air, but has an aura underneath it shown as a large colored circle. To cleanse the Knight, simply place your hero inside of that circle, or jump into the Knight, while you have a debuff that matches the same color. If successful, the Knight will vanish and a message will say "The Spectral Knight has been cleansed". You will lose the debuff once a Knight is cleansed, so if you have another Knight of the same color you also want to also cleanse, you will need to approach one of the 4 altars again to get the debuff, and then approach that Knight. You can only carry one color debuff at a time, so if another Knight of a different color is also on the map, you must set all 4 altars to that color, get the debuff, and go inside its aura to cleanse it. You will lose your current debuff if you switch heroes or die after acquiring it.
The amount of Knights that spawn, when they spawn, and what color they spawn as are all random, but spawn rates do increase in frequency as you advance to each next wave. At the end of each wave, all 4 altars reset back to no color. You can interact with altars on the building phase, so it can be helpful to set one color before the wave starts. Each wave ends when the total amount of scheduled enemies are destroyed, and there is no requirement to cleanse any knights. All Knights on the map will vanish when the wave ends. Slow spawning enemies, slow moving minibosses, or stuck units can make the wave continue on, so ensure to clean-up all enemy units quickly to bring the wave to an end. It can be faster to clean up units, rather than adjusting 4 altars and cleansing a knight, so plan a strategy to finish each wave accordingly. The Knights do not damage the crystal very much, but several Knights can multiply the effect, so keep an eye on them. A Knight may spawn after the map is over, but it is of no consequence if it does. </div>

This is a stage fight against the boss - Demon Lord. Each wave will spawn infinite enemies until a third of his health has been taken away, on each wave. At the start of a wave, you cannot attack the Demon Lord, but he will attack you. He will ignite you, causing fire damage over time, and this attack hits all heroes and is unavoidable. The Demon Lord will also repeatedly throw lava balls at or near each hero, and do splash damage when they hit. This attack will hurt your towers and the crystal, so be mindful of where you are standing, and be prepared to dodge. The lava balls he throws at you can also snap you out of a jump animation, and can cause you to fall to your death if you are over a lava pool when you are hit by one. Gnash the Flame Lance (large [[Berserker Orc]] miniboss) will often spawn at the beginning of any wave.
[[File:Lava_Guardians_and_Lava_Ball.png|A Lava Guardian and a lava ball that it drops.|thumb]]
In order to damage the Demon Lord, you must first stun him. Once each wave begins, at some point during the wave a Lava Guardian will spawn from any of the ground lanes at random. A white exclamation mark will be shown above the area he will spawn from, but will vanish once he actually spawns, and no icon showing their location will exist after that. These units will spawn repeatedly over time, but are spaced out in frequency. Upon defeating a Lava Guardian, it will drop a lava ball on the ground. This is a Hero debuff that you can acquire by having your hero touch it. Once you touch a lava ball, it will vanish and you will see a lava ball debuff icon on your screen, and the hero will have a red glow to them. There is no timer on this debuff, and you can only carry one lava ball debuff at a time. More than one lava ball can be on the ground at one time. If you swap heroes once you have the debuff or die, you will lose it and need to get another lava ball. The lava balls the Demon Lord throws do not end up as debuffs on the ground in any way.
[[File:Catapult_Location_with_a_loaded_catapult.png|The route to the catapult from spawn point. It then has to be loaded with a lava ball to stun The Demon Lord.|thumb]]
Once you have the debuff, return to the area where your hero spawned when the map started and where you spawn when your hero dies. In that room, there is a hallway on the side that leads up some stairs to a long rampart that oversees most of the map. On that rampart you will see a catapult. If you approach the catapult while you have the lava ball debuff, the debuff will be removed from you and a lava ball will then become loaded onto the catapult for use. When the catapult is loaded with the lava ball and the debuff is removed, all other existing lava balls on the map or held by other heroes are also removed at that time. Before you use the loaded catapult, jump onto it. You cannot stand on the actual lava ball, but you can stand on the catapult where the ball is, and the graphics will just overlap. You can then activate the catapult, which will also launch you with it.
[[File:Demon_Lord_Stunned_cropped.png|The Demon Lord stunned and is now able to be attacked.|thumb]]
The lava ball will then stun the Demon Lord. When you activate the catapult, a lightning debuff symbol will appear on the screen for 20 seconds, representing the total time the Demon Lord is stunned for. However, he must first fall down in range to be hit, and you cannot do any damage to him until his health bar shows up on the top of the screen. The actual time you have to damage him once he is in range is about 13 seconds. This is why you want to stand on the catapult, as it will launch you at the Demon Lord, and put you quickly within range. When you get launched, you can move your hero in mid-air. Try to land to the left of the Demon lord, near the Western double spawn point, so that you do not land on any lava patches and die. The Demon Lord will always fall over in the same location, and he can be damaged the Hero as well as by any defenses you build that are within range. Once the debuff timer is up, the Demon Lord will rise up again, and you will need to get another lava ball and stun him again. This process will continue until you lower his health by a total of one third of his total health. Once you lower his health by that much, that wave will end. When the wave ends, all lava balls and debuffs will be removed. On Wave 2, repeat the exact same process until you lower his health by another third, to end that wave. On Wave 3, you must then get his health to zero to end the wave and win the stage.</div>

<u>'''''Playing Tips ('for Altar of the Athame''WARNING - SPOILERS''')</u>:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content"> Chaos Five enemies see the return of Cyborks once again and then the addition of Dark Assassins. Be sure the defenses you select can combat both of these units. Dark Assassins can be instantly removed by Huntress Geyser Traps and Mystic Viper Fangs. They are also susceptible to stun attacks, so after they latch on, just stand in front of or near any defense that stuns to remove them. Having a high hero HP value is also advantageous to surviving their attacks. Normal minibosses will spawn in lanes with the [[Goblin Siege Roller]] and Skarnash the Terrible (large version of a Dark Assassin) being the most common ones.
[[File:ScreenShot03578.png|The Dark Realm Altar|thumb]]
In the West center of the map there is a raised rectangular area with a coffin in the middle of it surrounded by 4 pillars. This is the Altar and the pillars are each hiding a Dark Realm Statue miniboss. The Altar will be motionless and does not do anything at first. You must summon a Dark Realm Statue miniboss by collecting 4 Ritual Items (purple books) dropped by defeating Dark Prophets. After a Dark Realm Statue miniboss has been summoned and defeated, the the Altar Assassins can then be damaged. You must defeat all of the Altar Assassins on the map to end that wave, and enemies will spawn infinitely until then.
[[File:Altar_Assassins_differences.png|Left - Invulnerable Altar Assassins. ''(Before beating the ritual)'', Right - Vulnerable Altar Assassins. ''(After beating the ritual)''|thumb]]
On Wave 1, 3 Altar Assassins will spawn. On Wave 2, 4 Altar Assassins will spawn. On Wave 3, 6 Altar Assassins will spawn. On Wave 4, 8 Altar Assassins will spawn.
As play commences on the first wave, the ground spawns will all commence with their schedules and the air lanes will produce a set number of Altar Assassins each wave. Altar Assassins are a version of the Dark Assassin with a unique flair that are invulnerable to any attacks. Altar Assassins will hunt down and attack the hero, and will follow them the entire wave. They do not latch onto the hero, like Dark Assassins do. After they spawn, they follow their air lane to the crystal, and then seek out the hero the rest of the wave. If you come near one that just spawned, it will begin following you right away. They do not attack the crystal, so there is no need to try and stop them. They do not intentionally attack any defenses, however they will sometimes possibly attack a barricade on their path, so all you need to do is come near one and it will then chase you the rest of that wave. When attacking you, Altar Assassins can damage you along with what you are next to, so be mindful about standing on the crystal or next to a defense. They are covered in a dark skin flair while they are invulnerable, and they can be seen on the minimap as an air enemy. While you cannot damage then, you can still attack them and all crowd control effects will work. Slow, Stun, and Freeze can be applied and will have an effect. Defenses do not target these enemies, but Altar Assassins will be affected by any attack they are in the path of. This means that Tower based defenses are hard to hit them with, but Aura and AOE based ones are much easier to use against them. They move slow, and their attacks also push your hero slightly, moving them. You cannot pass under or jump through them. That can make getting around them a tad tricky at times, especially in large numbers that all follow you constantly throughout the wave. Be careful not to stand in a corner or next to a ledge when they find and attack you, as they can push you over the side or you can get trapped in a corner. To lead them away, just go stand anywhere else and wait for them to follow you.
There are also stage mechanics that have been added to this incursion to assist you. On the East end of the map in the long horseshoe shaped hallway that the heroes first spawn in, there is the '''Assassin's Potion''' which is a table with a blue flask on it. You can interact with this flask to receive a blue potion debuff and gain invulnerability for 20 seconds. Dark Assassins can still attach to you, and you can still not jump through Altar Assassins, but you will take no damage from any enemy attacks. If you switch heroes or fall down a hole on the map, you will lose the debuff. Also found in the hallway on the North and South ends are a single bell (Known as '''Assassin's Bell''') in both locations. Interact with the bell or attack it to ring it. Ringing the bell will stun all Altar Assassins on the stage for a few seconds. You can ring each bell once every 20 seconds.
[[File:ScreenShot03608.png|Next, place the Ritual Item at the Dark Realm Altar. Defeat Dark Prophets, collect the item, place again and repeat until the altar has 4 Ritual Items.|thumb]]
To stop and ultimately kill an Altar Assassin, you must first defeat one of the Dark Realm Statue miniboss at the Altar through a ritual to remove their invulnerability. As play commences on the first wave, the ground spawns will also intermittently produce Dark Prophets (an enlarged version of a [[Warboars|Warboar]], with light grey skin flair) on random lanes, but usually a different one each time cycling through the 4 ground lanes. A white exclamation mark will be shown above the area each will spawn from, but will vanish once it actually spawns, and no icon showing their location will exist after that apart from a regular enemy on the minimap. Once defeated, the Dark Prophets will drop a purple book on the ground called a Ritual Item. Be careful not to place or aim defenses too close to a spawn point so that when the Dark Prophets drops the Ritual Item, it falls outside of the spawn point and you can reach it. When you collect the Ritual Item by touching it, it will disappear and then show as a light grey debuff icon on your screen, and your hero will glow purple.
[[File:ScreenShot03618.png|When ready, you may activate the ritual.|thumb]]
Once you have a Ritual Item debuff, give it to the altar by touching the coffin anywhere with your hero. The Ritual Item debuff has no timer, but if you switch heroes or die, it will be lost. You can only hold one Ritual Item debuff at a time. You must collect and bring 4 Ritual Items to the altar to activate the summoning Ritual. There is no time limit for getting all 4 Ritual Items, and they will remain there until all four are collected. The altar will display a message after each Ritual Item is given successfully, and you can also see them placed on each corner of the coffin as you progress. The game will announce when the Ritual can be used to summon the Dark Realm Statue ("Dark Realm Ritual is Ready"), which will be immediately after the 4th Ritual Item is placed. Once the 4th Ritual Item is placed, all other Ritual Items currently on the map or in the possession of a hero will disappear, although more may spawn after this event as Dark Prophets continue to spawn. To activate the Ritual, you must interact with the coffin. When you do this, you will call forward a single Dark Realm Statue miniboss that is located in place of one of the 4 pillars, with the Northeast, Northwest, Southwest, and Southeast pillars always activating in that order, with only one being summoned on each of the 4 waves. The Dark Realm Statue does not move from its location, but will attack you. The ritual only lasts 10 seconds. When the ritual is activated, the entire altar area is covered in a purple glow. If the Dark Realm Statue is not defeated during the ritual, it will vanish and any heroes inside the altar area will be killed instantly, no matter your defense or health level. You will then need to collect 4 more Ritual Items to summon it once again. If you summon it again, the Dark Realm Statue will have the same remaining health as when it disappeared.
[[File:Dark_Realm_Statues_Boss_Phases.png|The Phases of the Dark Realm Statue: Left - Dormant, Middle - Ritual Activated, Right - Destroyed. Defeat the statue when the ritual is active to render the Altar Assassins vulnerable.|thumb]]
When the Dark Realm Statue has been defeated, all of the Altar Assassins on the stage will lose their dark skin flair and they can then finally be damaged and killed. Each wave is over once all Altar Assassins on the map have been defeated. Defeated Dark Realm Statue pillars will be shown as broken in half afterwards. Once Wave 1 is over, repeat the whole process over again on each remaining wave.</div>

[[File:Power_Surge_boom.png|Defenses disappears 35 seconds after placement.|500px|thumb]]
The timer defenses disappears by starts from when the defense is placed, no matter what phase it is, so it is recommend to ready-up the stage as quickly as you can on each build phase. If you sell a defense before it disappears, you get the mana back. If the defense disappears due to the timer, you will not get any mana from it. You can still upgrade defenses if you choose to, but the mana may be better saved to build more towers with instead. The increased power and speed make it so that upgrading is not really necessary.
Dryad Trees do not ever disappear, so that all Dryad defenses can be used. This is the only defense that does not disappear. You can spam this blockade and build many of them in every lane as a way to block enemies. Abyss Lord defenses still have a 4 second lag from placement until activation, so these defenses may not be a good choice for this incursion. EV2 Reflect Beams fire constantly at a fixed rate, no matter what size the beam is, and the node only travels along the bottom of the beam. So if you use EV2, you don't have to worry about what size you make your nodes. Don't forget to defend the air lanes as well.
This incursion is one of the hardest ones to play solo. If you are not in a coordinated team, you may consider waiting to play this incursion until you have chaos 7 gear. Playing in a team of 4 has the best chance at success as 3 players can DPS support each of the three lanes, and one hero can be the designated builder. The supporting heroes should give all mana to the builder each round. Be mindful not to let the Subcore go down if you can, so that you are not facing 4 ground lanes then.</div>

What makes this incursion unique are the enemy healing marks placed on the map. There are red and purple auras that heal enemy units at a rate of 100% every 1 second. Each wave, the number of auras will increase in predesignated locations on the map. '''(See the pictures to the right and below for the locations.)''' On Wave 1, only 1 aura is present, on the north double lane right where the two upper staircases end. On Wave 2, 2 more auras are added (3 total) just outside each of the archways on either side of the doorway control crystals. On Wave 3, 2 more auras are added (5 total) part of the way down on both the West and East lanes. On Wave 4, 2 more auras are added (7 total) near the control crystals, at the bottom of each staircase. On Wave 5, no more additional auras are added. The auras heal the enemies, but do not cure ailments or statuses. They have no effect on the hero or your defenses.
All normal minibosses may spawn, but typically just one spawns on Wave 3 from the "Gazebo Tower" spawn in the NW corner. Sniper Warbleed (large version of a [[Hex_Throwers|Hex Thrower]]) also commonly spawns on Wave 5 from any lane. A miniboss named Malthius (large version of a [[Dark_Mages|Dark Mage]]) is present as an NPC in the center of the map, hovering above the skeleton spawn point, right where the two lanes merge. He does not do anything on Waves 1-4, but on Wave 5, he will drop down and become a miniboss about mid-way through the battle. Once he is killed, all Healing Marks dissapears. Also on Wave 5, 2 [[Ogre|Ogres]] will spawn from the 2 lanes on either side of Malthius. The Orges will spawn first, and then Malthius drops soon after that. There are no air lanes for Waves 1 and 2, and then both air lanes are active for Waves 3-5.

Set one up in front of the defense you want to protect, with about one hero length away from it as the spears they throw penetrate the shield slightly and will hit your defense if it is placed too close. Dark Assassins also spawn, so be prepared to remove those as necessary.
What makes this incursion unique are the Death Marks that Maldonis summons throughout each wave, placed randomly on the map. Maldonis will do an animation, and then somewhere on the map, a small green area on the ground will light up, and that small area will then be a Death Mark for the rest of that wave. Death Marks cause hero damage over time when you stand upon them, similar to how poison or fire might damage you. They do not damage defenses or cores. The damage will cease as soon as you step outside of the mark area. The mark only does damage if you are standing on the ground, and does not affect those who are standing on elevated objects within the mark or those in the air above one. Maldonis continues to summon marks as long as play continues on each wave, and the frequency of the summons increases on each wave. On Wave 1 you may see 6 or more marks, and by Wave 5 you can see 18 or more. Marks can overlap, and do only minor damage. When marks are summoned, they are not visible on the minimap, but a white skull and crossbones icon will show on the screen for each one, as long it exists. All current marks on the map vanish at the end of each wave. On Wave 5, Maldonis summons a huge amount of Marks all at once, right before he descends as a miniboss, and no more Marks will spawn after that.
A stage mechanic has been added to this incursion so that you can remove Death Marks. In the Southeast part of the map, the Subcore is called the Holy Artifact. Touching the Subcore with your hero will gain you a sparkling golden glow debuff around your hero, known as the Holy Aura. The debuff will last 45 seconds, but no icon will show it on the screen apart from the cosmetic. To vanquish a Death Mark, have your hero walk anywhere on the ground inside a Death Mark while you have the Holy Aura, and it will then instantly disappear. You cannot do this from the air or on an elevated surface. You will not lose the debuff when you vanquish a mark, so you can eliminate as many Death Marks as you can touch in the 45 second time frame. If you swap heroes while you have the debuff or die, you will lose it. To get the debuff again, touch the Holy Artifact for another 45 second debuff. There is no requirement to remove any marks apart from the fact that it will make playing the stage easier.
All normal minibosses may spawn from any lane, and they spawn at a high rate on each wave. There is a [[Slekeleon]] miniboss named Trikk that spawns on the left side of Maldonis on Wave 3, then regenerates at the beginning of each subsequent wave, and has a unique purple flair. There is also a [[Orcs|Orc]] miniboss named Treet (i.e. both are a Halloween theme, as in "Trikk" or "Treet") that spawns on Wave 4 to the right of Maldonis, and has a unique zombie skin flair. A new miniboss named Maldonis the Dark (large version of a [[Dark_Mages|Dark Mage]]) is present as an NPC in the North center of the map, in front of the Temple entrances. He does not attack as a miniboss on Waves 1-4, and on Wave 5 he will drop down and become a miniboss you must defeat mid-way through the wave. Sniper Warbleed (large version of a [[Hex_Throwers|Hex Thrower]]) also commonly spawns on any wave, from any lane, and more than one lane at a time is possible. On Wave 5, you will often face 3 random miniboss spawns, Trikk regenerating, Maldonis the Dark, and possibly one or more Sniper Warbleeds.</div>

<u>'''''Playing Tips ('for Bastille Master''WARNING - SPOILERS''')</u>:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content"> Chaos seven enemies add [[Kobolts]] to schedules. These are flying units that spawn from ground lanes and follow those paths. They target towers, and will fly quickly forward once attacked, and explode on impact disabling everything in the explosion area for almost a half minute. It is recommended not to build any towers near spawn points. You can build a Weapon Manufacturer near the spawn point, as the Kobolt will dive to attack it, but will not disable it. Auras work very well to damage them as they are nor targeted or disabled. You can also put up high health towers or barricades between the spawn point and your towers to protect them. Mystic Obelisks work very well for this task.
What makes this incursion unique is that you are given a pool of 4 lives that all heroes on the map share. A Life Counter is shown in the center of the screen at all times so that you know how many lives you have left. If any hero dies during combat phase, that number will be reduced by one, for each death. Deaths on build phase or after the map is complete do not subtract from this total. If the last hero on the map dies during combat and the life counter is set to zero, you will fail the incursion. You begin Wave 1 with only 1500 Defense Units, whereas on Expedition you start with 2400. All normal minibosses may spawn. 1 will spawn on Wave 2, 2 on Waves 3 and 4, and 3 will spawn on Wave 5. The minibosses on Waves 2-4 all come from the Southeast and Southwest spawn points, and then on Wave 5 those two locations spawn again as well as the North spawn point will also spawn an additional normal miniboss along with the Bastille Master. No minibosses will come from the Central Southeast and Central Southwest spawn points. When you begin Wave 1 you will have infinite building time. However, once you begin combat phase on Wave 1, a timer begins with 1300 seconds (a little over 21 min) on it. This timer continuously counts down from that point forward, and includes all of the following build and combat phases until the stage is over. This stage only has 1 crystal to defend in the center of the map, close to where you spawn, as opposed to the expedition version that has 4 crystals.
This incursion also introduces a new miniboss, the Bastille Master. This is a unique miniboss to the game, and can spawn as a miniboss in other game modes. The Bastille Master appears as a NPC on the North end of the long bridge on Waves 1-4, and then on Wave 5 she disappears and then spawns from the North spawn point, usually along with another normal miniboss near the same time. What makes this miniboss unique is her ability to summon shield around her and any surrounding enemies that reflects all damage back to its source and instantly kill it. If one of your defenses attacks her while this shield is up, it will be lost. Same for your hero, if you attack any enemy with this shield active, you will lose a life. The shield is not affected by traps, auras or nodes though. The shield can still be activated while the Bastille Master is stunned. </div>

'''Chaos VII'''
Since this incursion is in Chaos 7 difficulty which features [[Kobolts]], you'll need to spawn-camp with some aura-type defenses to deal with them. However, it is best to not use all Defense Units for spawn camping as you'll also need to allocate some defenses around the crystal core to defend it from enemies unleashed from Jester Boxes which are spawned from areas that spawn-camped defenses won't be able to reach.
It is also possible to use full-on turtle strategies around the crystal core but a good amount of crowd control effects will be required to mitigate the risk of Kobolts being agrroed to the core.
The first main gimmick of this incursion. There are 7 different spots that Jester Boxes can appear during the start of the combat phase. The first and second wave will always start with 3 boxes while the third wave have 4 boxes, 5 for fourth wave and 6 for fifth wave - if any of the boxes are destroyed, they will be replaced in the next combat phase. Jester Boxes are quite tanky but can be destroyed when enough damage is dealt to them. They will also be invulnerable during build phase but any damage sustained during the last combat phase will carry over to the next combat phase.
Here's the list of enemy Squads Jester Boxes can spawn;
* '''Carnival Goblins''' and '''Carnival Bomb Goblins''' - These carnival goblins are bigger variants of their regular counterparts. However aside from size, there isn't any other notable differences.
* '''Pie Throwers''' - Javelin Throwers wielding pies instead of javelins. The pies applies Ogre's Snot Ball slow effect when a hero is struck by it.
* '''Elemental Mages''' (with regular [[Goblins_(Regular)|Goblins]] and [[Bomb_Goblin|Bomb Goblins]] or [[Orcs]]) - Dark Mages imbued with an element. There are four variant of them (''Fire Mage, Poison Mage, Frost Mage'' and ''Electric Mage''). The most notable aspect of them are the mages sometimes applying crowd control effect on themselves and their enemy allies.
* '''Tiny (tier 1) Kobolds''' - These tiny kobolds spawns in squads and when all Jester Boxes spawns these, their numbers can be frightening. And since they are in tier 1 form, these kobolds can be quite fast too.
* '''Tiny (tier 3) Ogres''' - While these ogres may be small, it still might be a good idea to watch out and try not to trigger their stomp attacks when engaging them near the core.
'''Air lanes: Carnival Kobold Fliers'''
The second main gimmick of this incursion features a boss wave. Once all 5 waves has been cleared, the major miniboss called ''MR. SKWISH'N SMASH'' will be introduced, a giant clown ogre with a high health pool (about 269 Million HP for C7) that is spawned outside of the main stage which in quite a short distance from the core. All active Jester Boxes will despawn in this boss fight.

==Prime Incursions==
<big>'''What are they?'''</big>
[[Prime Incursions]] are the next tier of Incursions after Chaos VII Incursions. Instead of having new incursions, this This tier consist consists of a harder version versions of all the current Incursions from previous Chaos difficulty tiers , along with a few maps from [[Adventures]], like [[The_Wyvern_Den|Wyvern's Den]], and [[Harbinger's Warship]]. Some of these incursions have a boss fight at the end. The Prime Incursions are divided into six seven groups with each group getting harder than the last.
<big>'''Rewards'''</big>
'''1. Victory Chest loot'''
Aside from the Victory Chest having a chance to drop the incursion's respective special weapon, the chest also have has a chance to drop two one more itemsitem:
<u> ''Prime Weapons'' </u> -
These weapon weapons with unique new models drops with Chaos VIII or Chaos IX stats fully upgraded, depending on which difficulty you do. Furthermore, they are also rolled with curated "fan-favorites" shot/swing types and M.O.D.S. Each Prime group would have a pool of 4 different prime weapons. <u>''Chaos VIII Ampoules'' </u> -Like Chaos VIII Onslaught, each Prime Incursion also have a chance of dropping a Chaos VIII ampoules from its victory chest. The higher difficulty the incursions are, the higher the drop rates for the ampoules are.
'''2. Hyper Shards -'''
Each Prime Incursion group cleared for the first time would reward a [[Shards#Hyper_Shards|Hyper Shard]]. And after clearing all six seven groups, you'll earn the seventh Hyper Shard as a capstone reward. These hyper shards are identical to the ones earned from [[Mastery#Rewards|Mastery]], meaning you'll be able to have two sets of them when you complete both Mastery and Prime Incursions.
