==[[Chaos#Chaos_VIFile:Malthius_Stage_Mechanics_Locations.png|Chaos 6Malthius Incursion's stage mechanics locations.|thumb]] Incursions==
===Malthius Incursion===Chaos six enemies add Hex Throwers to schedules. These units have very long range and target towers and barricades. It is best to try and kill them with traps, nodes, and auras before they get in range of anything they target. If you need to protect a defense against them, the best way is to use EV2's Reflect beam. 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.
<u>Map</u> - [[The Ramparts]] 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 (Dragonfall Castle7 total)near the control crystals, at the bottom of each staircase. On Wave 5 waves, 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.
<u>Playing Condition</u> - the schedules on this map will produce enemies similar to a Chaos 5 expedition of the same map. The ground lanes are the same, except that one additional lane has been added as a [[Skeletons|skeleton]] spawn point in the north of the map under Malthius. There are no air lanes for Waves 1 and 2, and then both air lanes are active for Waves 3-5. No mutators are applied to any lanes. 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, and you can actually jump but on top of him. 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.
What makes this incursion unique are the enemy healing pads placed on the map. There are red 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 picture below for the locations (pic coming soon). 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. This map has 2 different Special Weapons it unlocks and getting them both in the victory chest at the same time is possible[[File:Malthius_Incursion_stages_vertical. png|750px]]</div></div>|}

<u>Victory Condition</u> 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 5those 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 main of the following build and combat phases until the stage is over. This stage only has 1 crystal cores still have healthto defend in the center of the map, close to where you spawn, and all enemies are defeatedas opposed to the expedition version that has 4 crystals.
==The new enemies include the following. The Frost Goblin, which is a frost skin version of a [[Chaos#Chaos_VIIGoblins_(Regular)|Chaos 7Goblin]] Incursions==who uses melee attacks up close. The Frost Goblin Bomber, which is a frost skin version of a [[Goblins_(Bomb)|Goblin Bomber]], who uses bombs from range. The Frost Orc, which is a frost skin version of a [[Orcs|Orc]] who emits a cold aura around them (similar to the [[Drakenlord]] ice shield) that slows any hero or defense it comes in contact with and the auras can stack. The Frost Mage, which is a frost skin version of a [[Dark_Mages|Dark Mage]], who attacks towers from a distance, heals enemies, and summons regular [[skeletons]]. The Frost Drakin, a frost skin version of a [[Drakins|Drakin]], who fires frost balls from range. The Frost Goblin Bombs, Frost Mage attacks, and the Drakin Ice Balls can all be reflected by the [[Reflect Beam]] without becoming slowed. The new miniboss is the Yeti.

These are flying units that spawn from ground lanes and follow those paths. They target towers, the Haunted Halbredand will fly quickly forward once attacked, and also 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 Demon Scythe (from [[Incursions#Revenge_of_the_Yeti|Revenge of Weapon Manufacturer near the spawn point, as the Yeti]]) 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 possibly dropput up high health towers or barricades between the spawn point and your towers to protect them. Mystic Obelisks work very well for this task.
<u>Victory Condition</u> - What makes this map unique is how Capt. Dreadbones spawns. At the beginning of Wave 1, Capt. Dreadbones will spawn randomly as a normal miniboss on the map from one of about 12 designated locations, see the below map (pic coming soon). This does not include any of the lane schedules and cannot be seen on Wave 5the enemy list there. Once defeated, he will respawn after some time passes. He will continue to respawn as long as the main crystal core still has healthwave continues. To end a wave, defeat all enemies are on the map, which does not include the respawning version(s) of Capt. Dreadbones. When the last enemy is defeated , Capt. Dreadbones will vanish. Be aware that if Capt. Dreadbones also spawns from a scheduled lane as a miniboss (as shown on the enemy list for that lane), then that version of Capt. Dreadbones must be defeated as well to end the wave. The rate that Capt. Dreadbones respawns after being defeated will increase as the wave count increases. It is not necessary to defeat the respawning Capt. Dreadbones on any wave. You can even put up a barricade/tower in front of him, and just keep healing the defense, instead of fighting him. One respawn point is on the deck of the ship, right next to the main mast and right next to the main Crystals, so be ready to defend that possibility or he will quickly end the map. During each wave, right before Capt. Dreadbones spawns, a red "X" will show up on the ground (but not on the timer reaches zeromap or any screen icon) denoting that he is about to appear. That red "X" may still be on the ground at the end of a wave, but that does not mean that Capt. Dreadbones will respawn from that point in the next wave. No icon on the screen or minimap appears before he spawns, and when he does spawn his miniboss and all heroes do not lose all livesscreen icon will be visible as a normal miniboss would appear. Occasionally, Capt. Dreadbones can double spawn at once from the same location.</div></div>|}
===Revenge of 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 Yeti===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.
<u>Map</u> It is also possible to use full- Drakenfrost Resort (Drakenfrost), 5 waveson 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.
<u>Playing Condition</u> - this stage has the same number of ground and air lanes, however the ground enemy schedules are all completely new. Air lanes are still the same, and have no new enemy types. No mutators are applied to any lanes. Five new enemy units have been added and one new miniboss. All new enemy additions are frost based and can cause heroes and defenses to be chilled if their attacks connect (or are within the Frost Orc's aura). Chilled status causes attack speed to drop, and can stack all the way to zero speed. They are all immune to slow and freeze effects, as well as bubble and petrify attacks. Frost enemies will not target auras and traps, but anything inside the frost aura will be hit. ''Jester Boxes'''
<u>Victory Condition</u> 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''' - on Wave 5Javelin 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, all main crystal cores still have healthPoison 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 enemies Jester Boxes spawns these, their numbers can be frightening. And since they are defeatedin 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.
<u>Special Weapon</u> - '''Demon ScytheAir lanes: Carnival Kobold Fliers''' ([[Weapons#Books|tome]] for the [[Abyss Lord]]). This weapon does not drop in the victory chest on this stage, but you can buy one from the [[Wayfarer]] once this stage has been completed. This weapon does have the possibility to drop in the victory chest of the [[Incursions#Bastille_Master|Bastille Master]] incursion, but that stage will not unlock it at the [[Wayfarer]].
<u>Special Weapon MOD</u> - '''Demonic Scythes''', "Secondary Attacks summon Demon Scythes that deal XXX.X% Ability Power as Magical Damage and pierce up to 5 targets. Charged Attacks deal XXX% Ability Power as Magical Damage and pierce up to 10 targets." Chaos 7 values [143.31-192.9%, 425.2-518%]. Primary Attacks are unaffected. The scythe is a cross-shaped spinning projectile that shoots one at a time, straight forward at chest level. You can rapid fire the scythes by quickly pressing the secondary attack button. The charged version is bigger in size. 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.
<u>Map</u> - Plunderer[[Prime Incursions]] are the next tier of Incursions after Chaos VII Incursions. This tier consists of harder 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 Paradise (Warship]]. Some of these incursions have a boss fight at the end. The High Seas), 5 wavesPrime Incursions are divided into seven groups with each group getting harder than the last.
<u>Playing Condition</u> - this stage is very similar to a Chaos 7 expedition of the same map, however a new miniboss has been added - Capt. Dreadbones. All air and ground lanes are the same as normal play. This incursion assigns no mutators. All normal minibosses can spawn, which can include Capt. Dreadbones as well. One miniboss will spawn from the Southeast corner on Waves 2 and 3, and then in addition another will spawn on Wave 4 from the central Southwest point (2 total), and on Wave 5 a third will spawn from the top drawbridge in the Southwest as well (3 total)'''1. Victory Chest loot'''
What makes this map unique is how Capt. Dreadbones spawns. At Aside from the beginning of Wave 1, Capt. Dreadbones will spawn randomly as Victory Chest having a normal miniboss on the map from one of about 12 designated locations, see the below map (pic coming soon). This does not include any of the lane schedules and cannot be seen on the enemy list there. Once defeated, he will respawn after some time passes. He will continue chance to respawn as long as drop the wave continues. To end a waveincursion's respective special weapon, defeat all enemies on the map, which does not include Capt. Dreadbones.

Dreadbones spawns, a red "X" will show up on the ground (but not on the map or any screen icon) denoting that he is about to appear. That red "X" may still be on the ground at the end of a wave, but that does not mean that Capt. Dreadbones will respawn from that point in the next wave. No icon on the screen or minimap appears before he spawns, and when he does spawn his miniboss and screen icon will be visible as a normal miniboss would appear. Occasionally, Capt.

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.

He can spawn on multiple waves, and more than one lane at a time, but his spawn rate is low.</div>

There is also a unique enemy called an '''Explodinator''' which spawns in certain lanes during certain waves. 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.

<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_Spectral_Knights_%26_Icons.png|Cleansing Swords with the needed flame colors to cleanse its matching Spectral Knights. Icons on the left indicates a specific cleansing buff in use while the icons on the right indicates a Spectral Knight.|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>

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.

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.

[[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.
[[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]]
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.
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.

<u>'''''Playing Tips ('for Power Surge''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.
[[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>

<div class="mw-collapsible-content"> Chaos six enemies add Hex Throwers to schedules. These units have very long range and target towers and barricades. It is best to try and kill them with traps, nodes, and auras before they get in range of anything they target. If you need to protect a defense against them, the best way is to use EV2's Reflect beam. 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.
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.

<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.
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.

Being additional enemy spawn points, the enemies these boxes randomly spawns are between a roster of carnival variants of certain enemies and other common enemies too. Some are near-harmless and will be easy to deal with while others may require a certain degree of wariness. They are quite tanky but can be destroyed when enough damage is dealt to them.
A side gimmick of this incursion feature all air lanes to only consist of Carnival Kobold Flier. This Kobold Fliers variant are quite the scarier version of their regular counterpart pretty much because they are extremely easier to be aggroed from further distance and these fliers are much faster in diving to their target too. Anti-air defenses will need to be placed in proper location and as well be strong enough to take these kobold fliers down before they get agrroed by the core or other defenses and start diving.
'''Wave 6'''
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.
The main strategy is to delay the miniboss from getting to the core as much as possible with crowd control effects or blockades while your defenses or hero does the dps. This wave also spawns witherbeasts that drops large orange crystals that grant damage buffs to the hero (which could assist with taking down the giant ogre) and Carnival Kobold Fliers (which altogether makes about 13 enemies). Once Mr. SKWISH'N SMASH and all spawned enemies are defeated, you have won this incursion.
