===The Demon's Lair===

[[File:The_Demon%27s_Lair_Banner_ver_2.png|600px|thumb]]

'''Map - ''' [[Molten Citadel]] (Lost Dungeons), 3 waves.

'''Playing Condition - ''' This is a Boss fight against the Demon Lord. This map has the same enemy schedules for all lanes as found in a Chaos 4 expedition of this map, with the addition of Lava Guardians. All normal minibosses can spawn. This incursion assigns two mutators to each lane and miniboss from the common pool of mutators.

'''Victory Condition - ''' On Wave 3, the main crystal core still has health, and the Demon Lord's health is brought down to zero.

Playing Tips ('''WARNING - SPOILERS'''):

<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. Remember that you do not need to defeat any enemies on this map apart from the Demon Lord, so plan accordingly.

[[File:Demon_Lord.png|The Demon Lord|thumb]]

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>

'''Special Weapon Reward -''' [[File:Bone_Glove_Icon.png|35px]] '''Bone Glove''' (fist for the [[Lavamancer]]). This weapon does not drop in the victory chest and can only be gotten from the Wayfarer.

~~Special Weapon - '''Bone Glove''' (fist for the [[Lavamancer]]). This weapon does not drop in the victory chest and can only be gotten from the Wayfarer.~~ * Special Weapon MOD - '''Fist of Bones''', "Attacks fire piercing bones that deal XX.X% Hero Damage as Magical Damage. Bones can hit for XX times and reflect off of surfaces." Chaos 4 values [?-?%, ?-? times], Chaos 7 values [42.45-55.5%, 10-13 times]. The Lavamancer's primary melee attack pattern still plays out, along with the fire attack, but while doing his combo, these spinning cross-shaped bones will shoot out, one at a time, in a linear horizontal path. The bones will pierce quite a lot of enemies and reflect off of most surfaces. The projectile will apply any crowd control or elemental values of the hero upon contact with the enemy. This attack pierces, but that does not include Chaos enemy's defenses such as [[Shield_Geode|Geode]] or [[Vanguard]] shields.

===Altar of the Athame===

[[File:Altar_of_the_Athame_banner.png|600px|thumb]]

'''Map - ''' Crumbled Bulwark (Lost Dungeons), 4 waves.

'''Playing Condition - ''' This is a miniboss battle against Dark Realm Statues and Altar Assassins. Collect Ritual Items to perform the ritual that will summon the Dark Realm Statues, and then kill of all Altar Assassins. This map has the same enemy schedules for all ground lanes as found in a Chaos 5 expedition of this map but with higher Dark Assassin spawn rates, and the addition of Dark Prophets. Air lanes spawn only Altar Assassins. All normal minibosses may spawn. This incursion uses no mutators.

'''Victory Condition - ''' On Wave 4, all main crystal cores still have health, and all Altar Assassins are defeated.

Playing Tips ('''WARNING - SPOILERS'''):

<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.

~~There are also stage mechanics that have been added to this incursion to assist you~~[[File:Altar_of_the_Athame_Mechanic_Locations. ~~On the East end~~ png|The Locations of the map in the long horseshoe shaped hallway that the heroes first spawn in, there is a table with a blue flask on it.

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.

To stop and ultimately kill an Altar Assassin, you must first defeat one of the Dark Realm Statue miniboss at the Altar 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:HbryKcX.jpg|First part of the ritual - Collect the Ritual Items (left) dropped by defeating Dark Prophets (right).|thumb]]

[[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]]

[[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>

Special Weapon - [[File:Shadowflame_Knife_Icon.png|35px]] '''Shadowflame''' (dagger for the [[Mystic]]). Has 1 spread, 2 speed, and can be Medium or Light type.

~~Special Weapon - '''Shadowflame''' (dagger for the [[Mystic]]). Has 1 spread, 2 speed, and can be Medium or Light type.~~ * Special Weapon MOD - '''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.

[[File:Power_Surge_Banner.png|600px|thumb]]

'''Map-''' - [[Dragonfall Bazaar]] (Dragonfall Town), 5 waves.

'''Playing Condition-''' - All defenses are built with zero build time, with increased attack and speed stats, but disappear from the map after 35 seconds. This map has the same enemy schedules for all lanes as found in a Chaos 5 expedition of this map. All normal minibosses may spawn from any lane. No mutators are applied to any lanes.

'''Victory Condition-''' - On Wave 5, the main crystal core still has health, and all enemies are defeated.

[[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.

==Prime Incursions==

~~<big>What are they?</big>~~ They are the highest and newest tier of incursions, selectable from the Incursions tab on the War Table. There are six different groups of incursions to play through that are releasing over time. You are able to play them as they are unleashed, the only thing that can hold you back is your own skill! ~~<big>What are the rewards?</big>~~ ~~Prime Incursions have three different rewards associated with them.~~ ~~'''1. Chaos VIII Ampoules'''~~ Each Prime Incursion has the chance to drop a Chaos VIII Ampoule. As you continuously progress, the Incursions get more and more difficult. As such, we wanted to increase the drop rate of Chaos VIII Ampoules to match that increase in difficulty. These Incursions can get pretty tough, which led us to making the hardest of these challenges have the highest drop chance for Chaos VIII Ampoules. ~~'''2. Chaos VIII Weapons'''~~ ~~We’ve added a whole new slew of weapons with new weapon models that are only available through Prime Incursions. There’s over 25 new weapons to collect, sure to scratch that collector’s itch!~~ That’s not all there is to these weapons. Each weapon is upgraded to Chaos VIII, at the full 5/5 upgrade quality! That means they are perfectly upgraded, letting you focus on using Chaos VIII Amps to upgrade your relics and armor instead. Alongside these upgrades, we’ve curated these weapons to be what you really want. They have some of the most alluring shot and swing types many of you enjoy. ALONGSIDE THAT, included are curated mods specific to these weapons that really ensure these drops feel good and pack a punch! ~~'''3. Hyper Shards'''~~ Hyper Shards are something every player wants to boost up their arsenal. Previously, they were only acquired through Mastery completion, requiring a specific amount of Mastery Stars. Now, in Prime Incursions, you earn a Hyper Shard for every group you complete[[File:Prime_Incursions_Icon. There are six groups total, so if you complete all six of the groupings, you earn the seventh Hyper Shard as a capstone reward! This means you can now have up to TWO of each Hyper Shard in your ranks, pushing back the Old Ones forces more hyper-er than before. ~~<big>Prime Incursion Release Dates</big>~~ Today (August 28th 2019) we released the first two groups of Prime Incursions, Prime I and Prime II. Each of these groups contains 3 incursions, for a total of 6 to conquer. Every week, on Wednesday @ 9AM ET, we are releasing a new incursion. This is going until early November, giving you content to come back each week to enjoy. Here’s the schedule ~~Prime I & II: August 28th Prime III Malthius: September 4th Prime III Power Surge: September 11th Prime IV Dark Awakening: September 18th Prime IV Return to Maldonis: September 25th Prime IV Bastille Master: October 2nd Prime V Altar of the Athame: October 9th Prime V Revenge of the Yetis: October 16th Prime V Spectral Assault: October 23rd Prime VI Dawn of the Blood Moon: October 30th Prime VI BETSY: November 5th~~ png|thumb]]

~~===~~[[Prime I Incursions~~===~~]] are the next tier of Incursions after Chaos VII Incursions. Instead of having new incursions, this tier consist of a harder version of all the current Incursions from previous Chaos difficulty tiers and a boss fight at the end. The Prime Incursions are divided into six groups with each group getting harder than the last.

<big>'''Rewards'''</big>

'''1. Victory Chest loot'''

~~Maps Griblok~~Aside from the Victory Chest having a chance to drop the incursion's ~~Horde - [[The Gates of Dragonfall]] (Dragonfall Town)~~respective special weapon, ~~5 waves. Chrome Enemies - [[Forgotten Ruins]] (Ancient Ruins), 5 waves. Kobold Bling King - [[Little-Horn Valley]] (Dragonfall Town), 5 waves.~~ the chest also have a chance to drop two more items:

''Prime Weapons'' -

These weapon with unique new models drops with Chaos VIII stats fully upgraded. 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.

''Chaos VIII Ampoules'' -

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 Hyper Shard. And after clearing all six groups, you'll earn the seventh Hyper Shard as a capstone reward. These hyper shards are identical to the ones earned from Mastery, meaning you'll be able to have two sets of them when you complete both Mastery and Prime II Incursions~~===~~.
