→Malthius Incursion
<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 new 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 on top of him. On Wave 5, we he will drop down and become a miniboss about mid-way through the battle. Also on Wave 5, 2 [[Ogre|Ogres]] will spawn from the 2 lanes on either side. The Orges will spawn first, and then Malthius joins spawns soon after that. What makes this incursion unique are the healing pads placed on the map. There are red auras placed on the map that heal enemy units at a rate of 100% every 1 second. Each wave, the number of auras will increase is 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 also have a chance to drop in the victory chest, and at the same time is possible.
