Dungeon Defenders Wiki

The Genie is a status pet awarded for reaching wave 15 of Hall of Court or Tavern Defense, wave 25 of Coastal Bazaar PC only or wave 30 of Town in the Cliffs Redux Only on Survival or Pure Strategy. It can also be bought from the Tavernkeep after acquiring one for the first time.

Whenever the hero deals damage to enemies (either by weapon or offensive pet), the Genie will grant them mana. It performs a back-flip every time it gives the owner mana.

This pet synergies exceptionally well with weapons that fire multiple projectiles at once or shots that pierce through enemies and hero abilities that drain mana overtime, such as the Chicken Baller or Genie's Scimitar to fuel the Monk's Tower Boost and Hero Boost.

Mana Gain Calculation

The amount of mana collected per hit can be calculated with the following formula, where "GenieDamage" is the pet's Collection Bonus stat and "Damage" is the amount dealt in one hit by the hero: Mana per Hit = (Damage/60)*((GenieDamage/12)^0.23)

  • The coefficient hard-caps at 70, at 4,200 attack damage.

Notes/Tips

  • Other names for the genie include: Dusa, Hanio, Nurzhan, Spiro, Tien, Menos, Hugo, Huzzah and Shazzam.
  • When equipped to a Summoner, the Genie will collect mana from the damage dealt by his other pet.
  • The base and elemental damage components of a weapon attack count as two hits.
  • On Console, the amount of mana the genie can generate is capped at 17 regardless of the mana generation value on the pet.
  • While there is no effective cap, the Genie's Mana Collection Bonus has diminishing returns. It is not recommended to increase the value beyond 29,004, which yields at-most 420 mana/hit.
    • This benchmark is sufficient enough to completely fill up a level 100 hero's mana bar (2,020 capacity) in five hits minimum per cycle.
