Incursions are The Incursion game mode contains special versions of standard maps that can be played after a Chaos Trials map has been completedwith additional unique challenges and [[Mutators]]. Upon completing Completing a Chaos tier in [[Expeditions]] for the first time (Chaos 1-7), one or two incursions are unlocked for that Chaos tier. Each map has unique playing conditions that are found only on that map, and in will unlock a set of Incursion mode. All enemies found on the applicable Chaos level can spawn in lanes, and all DD2 minibosses can spawn in any lane on any wavemaps each time. [[Enemies#Minibosses|Minibosses ]] will drop less gear upon defeat, but and will drop more than normal amounts of [[Pets|pet supplies]] consumables and eggs. On all incursion Incursion maps, the 'Replay from Wave ' function is disabled.
Upon completing On some Incursion maps, the incursion you permanently unlock enemies in a lane and the miniboss will randomly be assigned [[Weapons#Unique_Weapon|special weaponMutators]], which can be purchased from the [[Tavern#Wayfarer|Wayfarer]] for 500 [[Defender_Medals|defender medals]]. Special weapons have a chance to drop in the victory chest on the Incursion map that unlocked itfollowing pool of six possible choices: 1) '''Speedy''', +15% movement speed; 2) '''Trollblood''', +3% HP regen every 5 sec; 3) '''Tenacious''', each time it is played.

<u>Map</u> - [[The_Gates_of_DragonfallFile:Borderless_GH.png|Gates A Horde lane consist of a hefty amount of Dragonfallmini-Gribloks & Quiblys and Tier 2 Kobolds.|thumb]] (Dragonfall Town)
<u>Playing Condition</u> - this map has three ground lanes, two of which will spawn normal Chaos 1 enemy schedules. There are no air lanes. All normal minibosses may spawn. This incursion assigns one mutator to each lane from the common pool of mutators. Each wave one of the three lanes will be designated as the Griblok Horde lane, and will blink red on the schedule. This is assigned at random, and may change lanes each wave. Lane bosses can also spawn each wave on any lane at random. The Horde lane will consist of large numbers of three enemy types - ==[[Kobolds_(Regular)Expeditions#Chaos_II|Kobolds]] (skate version), mini versions of [[Quibly|Quibly]] (high health version of [[Goblins_(Bomb)|Bomb Goblins]] with bright purple skin flair), and mini versions of [[Griblok|Griblok]] (high health version of [[Goblins_(Regular)|GoblinsChaos II]] with bright purple skin flair added). The Horde comes in groups of tight packs with Kobolds in front, mini-Gribloks next, and followed by mini-Quiblys. Enemy types in a group typically number from 3-12 of each class, with about 15-20 total in each group. Groups are separated by small packs of 3 or so mini-Quiblys. The Horde lane will last longer than the other two lanes with larger numbers and spread out groups. On wave 5, the Horde lane will change to 39 Kobolds and 140 mini-Quiblys. Griblok may also spawn as a large miniboss on any red schedule lane, on any wave, and can spawn on more than one lane on a single wave. Wave 5 can have zero miniboss spawns. Incursions==
===On Wave 5, three [[Ogre|Ogres]] with unique armor flairs will spawn as minibosses. You can see where and in what order the ogres will spawn on the lane schedules, as the first type Ogre ('''Timothy, Wyvern Fan''') spawns first, and second type ('''Jimothy, Wyvern Enthusiast===''') second, and the third ('''Gregory, Wyvern Aficionado''') spawns last. The Ogre spawns are delayed to be spread out. No Ogres will come from the Middle West spawn point (Spooky Woods lane). The only additional miniboss that spawns is [[Thorc_the_Terrible|Thorc]]. He can spawn on multiple waves, and more than one lane at a time, but his spawn rate is low.</div></div>|}

<u>Map</u> If you decide to build in a turtle strategy, then these spawn points might not be a problem. If you're building in a spread out way or even spawn- [[Forest_Biome|Forrest Biome]] (The Liferoot)camping, while there are chokepoints which are very useful, always make sure to allocate some defense to take care of those spawn points that doesn't lead to a chokepoint since they can occasionally be deadly if left unchecked.
<u>Playing Condition</u> * On Waves 2- this is a [https://terraria.org/ Terraria] crossover map4, with a big red moon added in the night sky, making the color of the level mostly dark pink/purple, and torches can be found all around. All ground lanes are the same as Chaos 3 expedition. In addition, there are only normal minibosses that spawn points that are added that are not marked on the map that generate 3 types of '''[[SkeletonsSlekeleon|SkeletonSlekeleons]] enemies. There are 7 in total''', and there is no way to know how many enemies it produces or if any minibosses will spawn from one. There are no air lanes on wave 1. On wave 2 one Keep track of all the two air lanes Slekeleons, as they will randomly activate, and from wave 3 and resurrect on both will be active. All air enemies are Demon Eyes (mini eyeballs) that track and attack only the hero. They do not attack any type beginning of tower or the crystal. Waves 1, 3next wave where they died, and by Wave 5 have infinite building timers, however waves 2 and 4 start automatically after 30 seconds unless you ready-they can stack up before then. Wave 5 is a Boss round and enemies will infinitely spawn until the Boss is defeated, which will then end the stage immediately. The Boss is Eye of Cthulhu (giant eyeball) that tracks and attacks the hero while spawning Demon Eyes as well. It spawns randomly from either air spawn point, and it can be seen on the schedule before the wave starts. No mutators are found on any lanes for this incursiondeadly.
Minibosses/Special Weapon Drops - on waves 2-4, the only normal minibosses that spawn are [[Slekeleon|Skeletons]], and then on wave 5 one [[Geode_Prime_-_Leader_of_the_Shield_Geodes|Geode Prime]] will also randomly spawn. Keep track of all the Skeletons, as they will regenerate on the beginning of the next wave where they died, and by wave 5 they can stack up. There is also a [[Orcs|Orc]] miniboss named Treet ''(i.e. Halloween theme, as in Trick or "Treet") that may spawn randomly and has a unique zombie skin flair. In addition to these minibosses there is also 4 special hero skeleton minibosses, one for each the Order of the 4 starting heroes (Monk/Huntress/- Skeleton Apprentice/, Skeleton Squire) at normal size, and each will have a unique purple skeleton flair. They spawn with only a purple question mark as their icon and are named "Skeleton X", where X is the name of the class (e.g. Huntress & Skeleton Monk.). They mostly only spawn from the north spawn point, and the 3 skeleton points by the cottages, although they sometimes spawn from the south as well. Multiples ones often spawn on each wave, from waves 2-4. These 4 skeleton minibosses are special because they each have a low probability of dropping a unique weapon. Each class only drops one weapon for their class, so only the Skeleton Squire drops the sword weapon. There are 4 special weapons, each with a unique skin, but no special MODs. MOD slot one will be empty and has no effect, even though it shows a MOD level, and slot two will have a random normal MOD. MOD slot 1 can be tinkered, and the level currently shown on it plays no part in that process. All shot styles are "spooky" flair. ''

===Kobold Bling King===* '''<u>Victory Condition</u>''' - No cores are destroyed and all gold crystal requirements at met before the timer runs out.
<u>Playing Condition</u> - this map There is also a unique enemy called an '''Explodinator''' which spawns in certain lanes during certain waves. They are a gather and collect mission where you collect gold nuggets from around more powerful version of kobolds which also have the stage and bring it ability to the Kobold King found fire rockets everywhere in the center of the mapa medium radius around them. The map is dark, so the gold nuggets can be hard to see, but rockets are very deadly as they do sparkle some. Once could result in a nugget is given one hit death to the king at a lit up circle near his feethero. However despite their power, Explodinators are quite tiny, roughly a small brown gold bag will appear to represent that completed nugget. Each wave has a gold amount that must be collected to end the stage, and enemies will infinitely spawn. Each wave has tad bit smaller than a time limit that the gold must be collected and returned by or you will fail the incursion. Gold regular goblin though their presence can be found in 12 or so hidden locations on the map, see the below map (pic coming soon), of known through rockets firing everywhere from them which about 2-4 are generated at the beginning of the wave and a couple more nuggets will generate as the stage progresses. On wave 5, up to 7 hidden nuggets can spawn as the stage progresses. Gold is also dropped by special minibosses that constantly spawns called Golden Crystal Beasts (a large gold flair [[Witherbeasts|Witherbeast]]). Each of these minibosses will drop one gold nugget. 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. Once the required amount of nuggets has been given to the Kobold King, that wave will end. All dropped, held, and hidden gold nuggets will vanish at the end of each wave. Complete all 5 waves to win the incursion. All of the ground and air lanes will spawn normal Chaos 3 expedition enemies. This incursion assigns one mutator to each lane very visible through sparks flaring from the common pool of mutators. All normal minibosses can spawn, rockets flying and will have a separate mutator, but will not drop any gold. 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 itexploding.

==* '''<u>Map</u>''' - [[Chaos#Chaos_IV|Chaos 4Unholy Catacombs]] Incursions==(Lost Dungeons).
===* '''<u>Playing Condition</u>''' - 5 waves; purple, red, and green Spectral Assault===Knights spawn during waves; each lane has two mutators from the common pool of mutators; ground and air lane enemies and minibosses are similar to Chaos 4 Expedition.
To fight the Knights, you must use an environmental mechanism found on only this stage[[File:Cleansing_Swords_and_Location. 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 horseshoe, you will find an altar with a sword, with 4 total altars. You can interact with the altar, which cause it to change color from red, to green, and then purple - always in that sequence. To vanquish a knight, you must set all four altars the same color as the knight you want to vanquish. 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. Each knight floats in the air, but has an aura underneath it as a large colored circle. To vanquish 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 vanquished, so if you have another Knight of the same color you also want to vanquish, you will need to approach one of the 4 altars again, 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 vanquish it. The debuffs do not stack, png|A Cleansing Sword and you will lose your current debuff if you switch heroes or die after acquiring ittheir locations. |thumb]]
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[[File:Cleansing_Swords_and_Spectral_Knights_%26_Icons. You can interact png|Cleansing Swords 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 enemies are destroyed, and there is no requirement needed flame colors to cleanse any knightsits matching Spectral Knights. All Knights Icons on the map will vanish when the wave ends. Slow spawning enemies, slow moving minibosses, or stuck units can make left indicates a specific cleansing buff in use while the match continue icons on, so ensure to clean-up all units quickly to bring the wave to an end. It can be faster to clean up units, rather than adjusting 4 altars and debuffing a knight, so plan right indicates 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 Spectral Knight may spawn after the map is over, but it is of no consequence if it does. |thumb]]
<u>Special Weapon</u> 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 - '''Molten Tome''' ([[Weapons#Books|tome]] for 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 [[Abyss_Lord|Abyss Lord]])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 * '''<u>Victory Condition</u>''' - No cores are destroyed and the Demon's Lair===Lord boss is defeated on the last wave.
<u>Playing Condition</u> - this stage is very similar to a Chaos 4 expedition of the same map, however a new Boss, enemy, and stage mechanic have been added. All air and ground lanes are the same as normal play. This incursion assigns two mutators to each lane from the common pool of mutators. All normal minibosses can spawn, and with separate mutators. Gnash the Flame Lance (large [[Berserker_OrcFile:Demon_Lord.png|Berserker]] miniboss) will often spawn at the beginning of any wave. This is a Boss stage fight against the Demon Lord. Each wave will spawn infinite enemies until a third of his health has been taken away. There are 3 waves, and the stage is won when the Demon Lord is defeated. At the start of the round, 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. Having a way to heal your hero is highly recommended on this stage. The Demon Lord will also repeatedly throw lava balls at or near each hero, that have a slight homing quality to them, and do splash damage when they land. 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. |thumb]]
In order to damage This is a stage fight against the boss - Demon Lord, you must stun him. Once each wave begins, at some point during the Each wave a Lava Guardian will spawn from any infinite enemies until a third of his health has been taken away, on each wave. At the ground lanes at random. A white exclamation mark will be shown above start of a wave, you cannot attack the area he will spawn fromDemon Lord, but will vanish once he actually spawns, and no icon showing their location will exist after thatattack you. These units He will spawn repeatedly ignite you, causing fire damage over time, but are spaced out in frequencyand this attack hits all heroes and is unavoidable. Upon defeating a Lava Guardian, it The Demon Lord will drop a also repeatedly throw lava ball on the ground. This is a Hero debuff that you can acquire by having your balls at or near each hero touch it. Once you touch a lava ball, it will vanish and you do splash damage when they hit. This attack will see a lava ball debuff icon on hurt your screen, towers and the hero will have a red glow to them. There is no timer on this debuffcrystal, and you can only carry one lava ball debuff at a time. More than one lava ball can so be on the ground at one time. If mindful of where you swap heroes once you have the debuff or dieare standing, you will lose it and need be prepared to get another lava balldodge. The lava balls the Demon Lord he throws do not end up as debuffs on the ground in any way. Once at you have the debuff, return to the area where your hero spawned when the map started, can also where snap 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 out of the map. On that rampart you will notice 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 into the catapult for use. When the debuff is removed, all existing lava balls on the map 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 isanimation, and the graphics will just overlap. You can then activate the catapult, which will then also launch cause you with it. The lava ball will 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 to 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 aiming to land to the left of the Demon lord, near the Western double spawn point, so that death if you do not land on any are over a lava patches and die. The Demon Lord will always fall over in the same location, and he can be damaged by any defenses pool when 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 to hit by one third. Once you lower his health by that much, that wave will end. When Gnash the wave ends, all lava balls and debuffs Flame Lance (large [[Berserker Orc]] miniboss) will be removed. On wave 2, repeat often spawn at the exact same process until you lower his health by another third, to end that beginning of any wave. On wave 3, you must then get his health to zero to win the wave and the stage.
<u>Special Weapon</u> - '''Bone Glove''' (fist for In order to damage the [[Lavamancer|Lavamancer]])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.
<u>Special Weapon MOD</u> - '''Fist of Bones'''Once you have the debuff, "Attacks fire piercing bones that deal XX.X% Hero Damage as Magical Damage.

==[[Chaos#Chaos_V|Chaos 5]] Incursions==
As play commences on the first wave, the ground spawns will all commence with their schedules[[File:ScreenShot03578. png|The air lanes will produce a set number of Altar Assassins each wave. Altar Assassins are a version of the Dark Assassin that is invulnerable to any attacks. They do not latch onto the hero, and instead follow their air lane to the crystal, and then slowly hunt the hero down. If you come near one, it will aggro the hero, and begin following you and not go to the crystal. They do not attack the crystal, so their is no need to try and stop them on their path. They do not intentionally attack any defenses, however they will sometimes aggro and possibly attack a barricade on their path, so all you need to do is come near one and it will then aggro you the rest of that wave. When attacking you, they can damage you along with what you are next to, so be mindful about standing on the crystal or next to a defense. They only attack when near you though, and sometimes you can put an object or defense between you and them and they will get stay behind it, until you move. They are covered in a dark skin flair while they are invulnerable, and can be seen on the minimap as a air enemy icon. While you cannot damage then, you can still attack then, and all elemental and crowd control effects can be applied. While you can Ignite and Poison them, it will do not damage. However, Slow, Stun, and Freeze will be applied and will have an effect. Defenses do not target these enemies, but they 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 based ones are much easier to do so with. Altar Assassins want to hunt down and attack the hero, and will follow you the entire wave. They move slow, and their attacks also push your hero slightly and will move them. You cannot pass by or jump through them and since they are a low hovering flying unit, that can make getting around them a tad tricky at times. Be careful not to stand in a corner or next to a ledge when they attack you, as they can push you over the side or you can get trapped by them. To lead them away, just go stand anywhere else and wait for them to follow you. The stage has 4 waves, and each wave is over when all Altar Assassins have been defeated. To stop and ultimately kill a Altar Assassins, you must first Defeat one of the Dark Realm Statue miniboss at the Altar. |thumb]]
There are also stage mechanics that have been added to this incursion to assist you. On In the west end West center of the map in the long horseshoe shaped hallway that the heroes first spawn in, there is a table raised rectangular area with a blue flask on coffin in the middle of itsurrounded 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 can interact with this flask to receive must summon a blue potion debuff and gain invulnerability for 20 secondsDark Realm Statue miniboss by collecting 4 Ritual Items (purple books) dropped by defeating Dark Prophets. After a Dark Assassins can still attach to you, Realm Statue miniboss has been summoned and you can still not jump through Altar Assassinsdefeated, but you will take no damage from any enemy attacks. If you switch heroes, you will lose the debuff. Also found in the hallway on the north and south ends are a single bell in both locationsAltar Assassins can then be damaged. Ringing You must defeat all of the bell will stun all Altar Assassins on the stage for a few seconds. You can ring each separate bell once every 20 seconds eachmap to end that wave, and enemies will spawn infinitely until then.
As play commences on the first wave, the ground spawns will also intermittently produce Dark Prophets (an enlarged version of a [[WarboarsFile:Altar_Assassins_differences.png|Warboar]], with light grey skin flair) on random lanes, but usually a different one each time cycling through the 4 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 ground enemy dot on the minimap. Once defeated, the Dark Prophets will drop a purple book on the ground. Be careful not to place or aim defenses too close to a spawn point so that when the Dark Prophets drops the book, it falls outside of the spawn point and you can reach it. When you collect the book 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 book debuff, go to the altar by simply touching the coffin anywhere with your hero. The book debuff has no timer, but if you switch heroes or die, it will be lost. You can only hold one book debuff at a time. You must collect and bring 4 books to the altar to activate the next step Left - the RitualInvulnerable Altar Assassins. There is no time limit for getting all 4 books, and they will remain there until all 4 are collected. The altar will display a message after each book is given successfully, and you can also see them placed on each corner as you progress. The system will announce when ''(Before beating the Ritual can be used to summon the Dark Realm Statue can take place, which will be immediately after the 4th book is placed. Once the 4th book is placed, all other books currently on the ground or in the possession of a hero will disappear, although more may spawn after this event as more Dark Prophets 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 NE, NW, SW, SE pillars always activating in that order 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. You will then need to collect 4 more books to summon it once again. Once you summon it again, the Dark Realm Statue will have the same remaining health as when it disappeared. When the Dark Realm Statue has been defeated, all of the Right - Vulnerable Altar Assassins on the stage will lose their dark skin flair and can then be damaged and killed. Each wave is over once all Altar Assassins have been defeated. Defeated pillars will be broken in half afterwards. Once wave 1 is over, on Wave two you will face ''(After beating the next Dark Realm Statue miniboss from the next pillar, and so on until all 4 have been defeated on all 4 waves. ritual)''|thumb]]

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.
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.

<u>'''''Playing Tips for The Demon's Lair'''''</u>
<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_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.

This incursion uses no mutators. All ground lanes are then the same as normal play, but with higher addition of Dark Assassin spawn rates, along with periodic Dark Prophet spawns. All normal air lane enemies have been eliminated and have been replaced by Altar Assassins. In Be sure the center West defenses you select can combat both of the map there is a raised rectangular area with a coffin surrounded these units. Dark Assassins can be instantly removed by 4 pillars - this is the Altar Huntress Geyser Traps and pillars Mystic Viper Fangs. They are each 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 Dark Realm Statue minibosshigh hero HP value is also advantageous to surviving their attacks. The Altar Normal minibosses will be motionless and does not do anything at first. Minibosses will also spawn in lanes with the [[Goblin_Siege_Roller|Goblin Siege Roller]] and Skarnash the Terrible (large version of a Dark Assassin) being the most common ones.
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:Altar_of_the_Athame_Mechanic_Locations.png|The Locations of the stage mechanics - (Clockwise) I. Dark Realm Altar, II. North Assassin's Bell, III. Assassin's Potion Table & IV. South Assassin's Bell.|thumb]]
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: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.
[[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.

Dark Assassins can be instantly removed by Huntress Geyser Traps and Mystic Viper Fangs.

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.

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.
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.
[[File:Malthius_the_Learned.png|Malthius the Learned|thumb]]
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.

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 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.

<u>'''''Playing Tips for Revenge of the Yetis'''''</u>
<div class="mw-collapsible-content"> 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. 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, at which point your Hero will become Frozen, and can be killed by the next attack. Frost units 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. Frost enemies will take double damage from any flame element attacks.
The new enemies include the following. The Frost Goblin, which is a frost skin version of a [[Goblins_(Regular)|Goblin]] 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. He is the only miniboss that will spawn on this incursion on all waves. He throws snowballs that hit with a splash and chill anything in the area, and he will target all defenses. 1 will spawn on Wave 2. 2 will spawn on Wave 4. 3 will spawn on Wave 5. He will randomly spawn only from 3 lanes - the lane under the bridge, and the 2 lanes in the Southwest.

<u>'''''Playing Tips for Dark Awakening'''''</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.
A new miniboss has been added - Capt. Dreadbones. He charges forward quickly once he spawns. All normal minibosses can spawn on this map, 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).
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 the enemy list there. Once defeated, he will respawn after some time passes. He will continue to respawn as long as the wave continues. To end a wave, defeat all enemies 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 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. Dreadbones can double spawn at once from the same location.

<u>'''''Playing Tips for Jester's Revenge'''''</u>
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
'''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.
'''Jester Boxes'''
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.
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.
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'''
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.

==Prime Incursions==
[[File:Prime_Incursions_Icon.png|thumb]]
<big>'''What are they?'''</big>
[[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 Warship]]. Some of these incursions have a boss fight at the end. The Prime Incursions are divided into 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 has a chance to drop one more item:
<u> ''Prime Weapons'' </u> -
These 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.
'''2. Hyper Shards -'''
Each Prime Incursion group cleared for the first time would reward a [[Shards#Hyper_Shards|Hyper Shard]]. And after clearing all 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.
* [[File:DD2_Splash_Logo.png|35px]] '''August 28th, 2019''': First Prime Incursions added.
* [[File:Isle_of_Dread_Logo_Splash.png|35px]] '''4.0''': Dark Awakening Incursion added.
* [[File:Protean_Shift_Logo_Splash.png|35px]] '''3.0''': Some Incursion have been added to Adventures.
