Jester's Spooktacular is a challenge map and Halloween version of The King's Game.

It is unlocked after purchasing its corresponding DLC. Completing the map on any difficulty unlocks the Punk Jester Costume.

Gameplay[]

Each wave after the first has a trick-or-treating enemy type added to it, which will spawn in relatively large quantities from any valid spawn point. The trick-or-treater is selected at random from a list, unless an "X seem to be interested" tile event is triggered during the previous wave or it's the final wave. Additionally, Siege Mechs will spawn on every wave by default.

The tile event pool is adjusted to also include summoning a boss on the final wave: the Flying Pumpkin. It will only spawn if the event "something is approaching" is triggered during any wave prior. This boss is a Mega Cupid variant that throws grim blades instead of arrows.

Defense and Minion Unit capacities are raised from 115 to 125 at the start to compensate the removal of "Defense Units increased."

Rewards[]

Notes[]

  • Given the random selection of added trick-or-treating enemies, no two runs will have the same minimum clear time.
  • "Something the approaching" is guaranteed to occur within X tile events.
  • There is no "Boss Wave" warning when the final wave starts, regardless if the required tile event was triggered or not.

Tips[]

  • After fully upgrading all Buff Beams, trigger as many tile events as possible to minimize the chance of bosses or other problematic enemies trick-or-treating.
  • Against the boss, a Monk with either a Deadly Striker pet or Eye of Ruin hiding behind cover can help maintain aggro away from vital towers.
