Double double toil and trouble, something wicked this way comes! Spooky season is upon us, and you know what that means, Forge fans! Its time to light your lanterns and summon some courage: our creepiest event is back in town for Halloween!

The Halloween Event will begin on October 4th and run until October 25th!

The Perilous Plot​

This Halloween, a mysterious witch dares you to a card duel that transcends worlds. Beware! Vampires, Werewolves, Zombies, and even the witch herself come to life, not in flesh but as formidable cards, ready for a chilling battle.

​

Battle Mechanics:​

When you open the event window to begin a new dungeon you must select your deck. Choose the best deck for your Dungeon to get a strategic advantage!

You can choose from preset decks, with each card representing either Vampires, Werewolves, Zombies. Each deck will also contain some cards of the other factions, as well as Witch Cards. Once you have picked a deck there is a cooldown before you can pick that deck again, but you can always bypass this with Event Currency!

Werewolves	Taste bad to Vampires! (Bonus attack against Vampires)
Vampires	Are immune to becoming Zombies! (Bonus attack against Zombies)
Zombies	Are resistant to Werewolf claws! (Bonus attack against Werewolves)
Witches	They play by their own eldritch rules! (No faction bonus. Also no other faction has a bonus against witches)

Once you've selected your deck - muster your courage and enter the Dungeon! There you will face 10 opponent cards, followed by a fearsome Boss Card. Defeat them all to win the Dungeon - but should your health fall to 0 you will fall and have to start again! But fear not - all is not lost should you fall in combat, riches abound for all brave enough to enter the Dungeon!

​

Strategic Choices:​

Your card has a range of damage it can do, plus each card has a bonus against a certain type (except Witch cards!). When you click 'Fight', you will deal damage to your enemy's health bar equivalent to the damage range of your selected card, plus any bonuses. For example, if your card does 4 - 6 damage, clicking 'Fight' will randomly select a value between 4 and 6, and deduct it from the enemy's health - plus any damage bonus from your card type! But the enemy will do the same, so check you have more health left than the maximum possible damage your enemy can inflict, or you could end up defeated!

Tip: Not sure you have enough health to survive the battle? Top up with a potion or use an Ability Card!

	Battle	Click the 'Fight' button to initiate combat. Check the card stats to see how much damage you can deal to your opponent, and how much they can do to you! Assessing your health wisely is crucial. You can redraw or purchase health points to enhance your success chances.
	Redraw	If your card is weak against your opponent, you can choose to redraw. You'll be presented with three random options from your deck to pick from - click the arrows to view your choices! You can redraw repeatedly, but each time costs more Event Currency. Note: If you have Ability Cards in your deck, one of the three options will be an Ability Card, with the other two being chosen by random.
	Health Potions	Low on health? Buy a potion using Event Currency. But beware, there's an upper health limit.
	Rewards	Each defeated enemy drops a key: bronze , silver , or gold . These keys unlock chests on the main screen, advancing you towards the grand prize and potentially earning daily rewards.
	Ability Cards	These bonus cards provide unique and powerful boosts. Some enemies in the dungeon will have a card icon below in place of the usual chest - defeating these enemies rewards you with the Ability Card Shop Window. One card is free, but you can buy up to two more using Event Currency. The enemy cannot attack when you use Ability Cards. Unused ability cards following triumph over the boss will be transformed into golden keys

Tip: Your first chest of the day will be automatically doubled, so be sure to open at least one chest every day!

Sneak Peek:​

Tip: You'll defeat this enemy in one hit! But beware - they have a bonus against your card type, so you will take extra damage doing it! Will you risk it or gamble on redrawing a better card? Even different cards of the same type (e.g. two Werewolf type cards) may have different stats so pay close attention when picking your cards! For those, we added a small indicator to the top right of the card, displaying which variant they are: I, II or III !

Trick or Treat?​

Now you've braved our eerie dungeons and survived our ghoulish puns, you've earned some sinister souvenirs to immortalize the horror!

• Dungeons now start out easier and become more difficult! Later enemy cards now have even more health for example.
• You can now gain for the Stormspire from the boss at the 11th encounter!

Thank you all very much for your early feedback! What do you think about these changes? Tell us in the feedback thread!

Dear spooktastic duelists,
The Event is already almost over, however we want to help you out a bit, in case you need some help still or want to share some tips with other players on the live servers!

Listen to the given hint​

Before going into a dungeon, you can choose one of 3 different deck types. The hint above will tell you which faction will be the best to use.
You might be in a situation, where you already played with the required faction, but fear not, you can either spend 100 teeth or simply choose the same type as the enemy faction. In this case it will be slightly more difficult, but still better than choosing a faction, that is weak against the enemy!

Faction Bonus​

Speaking of factions: Every card belongs to one! The faction can be seen at the top left of any card. They can either Werewolves, Vampires, Zombies or Witches. You can see which faction has a bonus against which at the cheat sheet, accessibly via this button after entering a dungeon.
At the bottom of each card, next to it's damage, you will see how much bonus damage they do against a specify faction.


Beware: enemy cards have this bonus as well, so always keep track on the faction and faction bonus of your card and the enemy card!

Keep track of your Health​

Health is an essential part of the minigame. It is very important to keep track of it, since when it goes down to 0, that's it: The dungeon is lost and you have to enter a new one, regardless of how many cards you still had. So always buy more health once you are close to losing!

Keep track of your remaining cards​

Not only is health essential, the remaining cards in your deck are as well! You can see how many cards you have left at the top left, next to your health. If you ever run out of cards, you will lose the dungeon as well. You can also see all your remaining cards via the deck button at the top.

Ability Cards - General​

Ability Cards are very important. After every 3rd, 5th, 7th and 9th enemy defeated you will get the option to choose an ability card. You can see if you get an ability card selection, if you see the card icon below the enemy.

If you think you might run out of cards, you can buy one or two additional ability cards as well!

Use Thief Ability Card effectively​

The Thief card is quite special, as it will provide you with the rewards from the enemy without having to defeat it. Of course it will not defeat the enemy, but you can collect a lot of extra keys by using them. Especially using them on the final boss is quite profitable, as it has the best rewards!
Make sure to not use them on enemies giving you an option to choose an Ability Card though, as the Thief Card will only grant the keys there.

Redraw!​

It might not sound that important, but redrawing is one of the most important things you have to do in a dungeon. After pressing "Redraw" you can choose one of 3 cards, that are in your deck. If you have Ability Cards, then the first one will always be one. The other 2 are chosen at random from the remaining cards of your deck. Is your card too weak? Redraw! Do you not want to use that Ability Card yet? Redraw! Is your card way too strong for the enemy and you want to keep it for a stronger one? You guessed it, redraw!

Redraw, redraw, redraw​

Another interesting aspect of redrawing is, that if you keep redrawing the cost will increase, however you won't get the same options anymore. Another thing you can do though is redrawing, choosing a card and then redraw again! In this case you can draw the same cards again, but the cost will not increase!

We hope these Tips and Tricks were helpful. If you have more, please post them in the feedback thread and we might add them to this post!
