The Jester will utilise a variety of presents at her disposal. She has three tower types, each one a different size of Present: Small (1 DU), Medium (2 DUs) and Large (3 DUs). The higher-quality Presents are more likely to yield high-end rewards. That can include a random powerful Tower given to you for less DUs than normal (whatever the DUs of the original Present), loot, mana or various long-lasting explosion and gas effects. Further details are yet to be released.
