  Commanders,

The Blasted Badlands Venture Season and Hit the Road reach their final stop on September 4. Hexslyania may be intimidating, but braving through it will lead to some tasty treats! Below is a rundown on what to expect during the first few weeks of Fortnitemares.

But first - we must mention that one of Homebase's very own has decided to step out of the lab and shred across the battlefield!

Coming September 4 (8 PM ET) - Hexslyvania Returns! Complete bone chilling quest lines and unlock your fair share of Candy, Gold, and Heroes

 

 

Hexslyvania Venture Season!

Ready to get frightened? The next Save the World Ventures Season begins on September 4 at 8pm ET!

There is something strange about the mist at Hexslyvania. Its spooky energy gives Husks a modifier that reduces their damage taken from weapons, abilities, and traps!

Major Oswald says the best way to counter this frightful Short Range Modifier is by sending our most durable Commanders and Defenders within two tiles of these powered up Husk, in order to dispel their buff. This is the perfect time to put your new Goin’ Constructor builds to the test!

When Commanders are in range, the Husk will take 50% more damage. Enemies may also drop healing potions once they are defeated, giving you a chance to heal up after those brutal close encounters. 

So dust off your favorite shotgun, bring a melee weapon, and get ready to get up close to the vicious Hexslyvanian Husks.
