Defenses

The Jester utilizes three different sizes of presents: Small, Deluxe and Extravagant, each costing two, three, and four (2-4) DUs respectively. Their contents can include a random tower summoned for less DUs (than when summoned by the corresponding hero class), equipment, or mana. Presents can however spawn Ogres occasionally. Presents are opened when destroyed or when the next Combat Phase begins.

The Jester's other two defenses attack enemies directly.

Small Present -

Deluxe Present -

Extravagant Present -

Jack in the Box - a present box containing a boxing glove which springs loose to send nearby foes flying!

Party Popper - a tower which randomly cycles between different projectiles to fire: Magic Missiles, Archer Minion arrows, Fireballs, Djinn magic bolts, Deadly Striker Tower bolts, and Ogre snot balls.

Abilities

Wheel o' Fortuna - Opens up a Slot Machine-like minigame. The outcome varies depending on the combination (e.g., all goblins or crystals). This can vary from upgrading all hero defenses to making all enemies golden.

Move Tower - Allows a placed hero defense to be moved around the battlefield within the ability's radius. Mana is consumed upon activating the ability, not after moving a defense. This allows the player to move as many nearby defenses as they want for no additional costs. Minions and Tower Buff Beams cannot be moved. ==Jester's Costumes==

Trivia
