Flairs

From Dungeon Defenders 2 Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search
The examples of cosmetic customization abilities Flairs brings with costumes.

Flairs are accessory-like cosmetic items that makes your heroes look more legendary. They are meant to add more customization ability for the heroes aside from costume accessories and also to add some "flair" hence the name. They can only be equipped through the Hero Customization Manager which can be accessed through the cosmetic button in the player's inventory. Along with costumes, accessories and tower skins, they make up Dungeon Defenders II's cosmetic system.

The flairs system is divided into five categories : Head (halos, hats and crowns), Face (masks, helmets/heads, mustaches and eyepatches), Back (wings, tendrils and backpacks), Waist (auras, tails and floating objects) and Feet (auras and other effects)

How to acquire

Currently there are no flairs available that can be directly purchased with gold, or defender medals. Instead, the ways they can only be acquired are through defender packs, reaching a certain milestone in specific gamemodes, solving map secrets or obtaining codes from giveaways.

Certain limited seasonal flairs can be also be bought through DLCs or directly with gems during seasonal times too.

Flairs sets

While there are various different types of flair, certain flairs are made together to form a set giving a complete thematic look. Two or four pieces of themed flairs usually makes a set. Some sets will be provided as a set when obtained through defender packs, DLCs or a gamemode's milestone while others may be acquired separately.

There are currently 17 flair sets in the game:

  • Crow Lord set - (Raven Lord Crest, Raven Lord Wing, Raven Lord Molt and Raven Lord Mist)

While the Mastery gamemode awards flairs piece by piece when a milestone is reached, the later stage of the Onslaught gamemode instead awards a set when a milestone is reached. Both gamemodes offers different flairs as they are meant to signify that the player has reached a certain point or completion of the gamemodes.

Trivia and Notes

  • Some flairs like Boozarro's Grin, Mutagenous Talons, Tony Strange & Blazing Hellgeist Mask and The Connery are references to real-life popular cultures such as Stephen King's It, the works of David Cronenburg, Marvel Comics' Tony Stark/Doctor Strange & Ghost Rider and James Bond (with Sean Connery) respectively.
  • Dragonfall Carnival consumable masks have been re-added as actual flairs as of Power of the Ancients Expansion (2.0). Though their consumable version will still be in players' inventory unchanged.
  • When the Protean Shift expansion (3.0) went live, all Xbox One Players at that time gets to redeem a code for the Protean Shellmet as appreciation for installing DD2 on Xbox One. A short time later, [CG]Lawlta decided to also repurposed it as a stream giveaway item so it can be accessible to PC and PS4 players too.
  • The Pizza Gliders made it into DD2 because [CG]Lawlta loves pizza. So much that he was persistently pushing for the wings' implementation for quite a while.
  • The Caster's flairs was CG's way of supporting the TCG streamers who have been reliable for a year and have helped make DDII better.
  • Interestingly, flairs only comes in Epic, Mythical and Legendary rarity. No Worn, Sturdy or Powerful flair exist. This is most likely due to the "premium" ways of acquiring them such as through (higher-tiered) Defender Packs, reaching milestones in gamemodes and being part of specific events.
