Volcaniceruptioncard

Volcanic Eruption is a challenge that takes place in the Talay Mining Complex. It can be considered an easier version of Spring Valley.


Gameplay[]

Similar to Riddle of the Deep, players must defeat all the enemies before the rising lava floods the entire map, while also defending an Eternia Crystal as it moves up the map. The lava instantly destroys all defenses and kills all players and enemies on contact. It will continue to rise even during Build Phases.

The crystal begins at the bottom of the map and slowly moves along a path up toward the forge before stopping. It moves faster during combat phases than build phases. The lava will not stop rising once the crystal has reached is destination.

Tips[]

  • Do not start the first wave as soon as you/your team is ready to defend the core. Otherwise, it will be too close to the bottom-most enemy spawn to not get blasted by Kobolds.
  • There should be at least one player standing next to or on top of the crystal at all-times.
  • Lightning Towers on a buff beam, on the top bridge, with them boosted by a Monk Guardian can quickly wipe out the weaker enemies and drastically speed up earlier waves, especially if Darkness Traps are placed at spawn points or key choke points.
    • However, this will attract Ogres away from the Eternia Crystal, where most of the team's firepower is usually at.
