These Piggles have brought a touch of Ravenwood's magic with them in the form of unique abilities ;

[h3]Dragon Fruit[/h3]

Dragon Fruit will be obtainable via the aforementioned Piggle bundles and as rare rewards from opening Pet Food Boxes until January 5th. The exotic flavor of these draconic fruits grant your pet a massive amount of XP when consumed!


[h2]Seasonal Event Change[/h2]

[h3]Ravena Rotspell[/h3]

A new vendor has crept into Dragonfall—seemingly overnight! Visit Ravena Rotspell and her caravan of curios in the Town Hub or Private Tavern for the opportunity to buy one Spooktacular Crate and one Defender Pack each day. Much like previous years, these Spooktacular Crates contain a myriad of treats for Defenders, which—more often then not—translate into tricks for the Old One's Army!


Additionally, the Spooky Pumpkin Head flair will be obtainable as a one-time reward from Ravena Rotspell, and Halloween-themed cosmetics will return to the Emporium for a limited time.

[h3]The Harvest Moon Sets... For Now[/h3]
As the Harvest Moon Festival comes to an end, Farmer Tom makes his departure until next year. Farmer Tom's Produce Shop will no longer be accessible, nor his Scarecrows (Ghost Scarecrow, Scarecrow, and Golden Scarecrow) available to purchase or obtain as drops.


In his last gesture of good faith however, the old farmer left the citizens of Dragonfall a tremendous quantity of pumpkins, which have been promptly used to decorate for Halloween.


[h2]Fixes[/h2]
  • Fixed an issue with multi-equipment list pop-ups breaking their intended bounds.

Dungeon Defenders II - Hotfix 09/12/2024

[h2]Fixes[/h2]
  • Fixed an issue where Farmer Tom's Produce Shop would not properly refresh.
  • Fixed description of the 'Call of Scarecrow' ability.
  • Fixed Whole Grain Guard and Bruised Apple consumable VFX persisting after players leave a game.

The Harvest Moon Festival

Greetings, Defenders! A crisp Autumn chill can be felt flowing throughout Dragonfall, which can mean only one thing; the Harvest Moon Festival is nigh!

The Harvest Moon Festival is an in-game event spanning two weeks, featuring new limited-time pets and a new vendor; Farmer Tom! This event will end the morning of September 24th!

[h2]Farmer Tom[/h2]

Farmer Tom makes his grand debut in Dragonfall, bringing a bounty of fresh goods at unbeatable prices. He has a bit of a dilemma, however. His trusty scarecrow companion has gone missing during his travels, and he's desperately searching for it! Help Farmer Tom reunite with his beloved scarecrow with the aid of his power-granting produce!

[h2]Event Consumables[/h2]
Farmer Tom can be found in the Tavern and Town Hub selling Harvest Bags. These can be purchased once each day for 100 gold, and contain a variety of the following;

  • Bruised Apple - Causes your face to pucker from its sour taste. Increases health by 25% and reduces damage taken by 35% from pure determination!
  • Carrot Dash - Grants heroes the speed and agility of a rabbit! Gain 500 movement speed and a 15% chances to dodge attacks while active.
  • Fruitimal - Upon consumption your basic attacks will fire a bouncing fruitimal. This produce projectile will explode upon contact with an enemy, dealing 750% hero damage as poison damage.
  • Popcorn Burst - When defeated, enemies explode into a popcorn shower dealing 10% of their max health as AoE damage to surrounding enemies.
  • Radish Rocket - Hero will periodically shoot radish rockets. These rapid roots home-in on enemies and explode, dealing 3000% ability power.
  • Squash Smash - Heroes unleash a small shockwave whenever you land from a jump, dealing 100% of hero damage and slowing nearby enemies by 50%. "Oh my gourd!" - some goblin, probably.
  • Whole Grain Guard - The hero is enveloped in a freshly baked, protective aura of whole grains. This grants 15% damage reduction and causes enemies that strike the hero to take 500% damage in return.

Some of these effects have been adjusted in the name of balance since our original Harvest Moon Festival announcement.

[h2]Scarecrow Pets[/h2]


Scarecrows scare crows, but they also make for great pets! Three scarecrow variants will be obtainable during this event;

  • Scarecrow Ghost - The Scarecrow Ghost pet will be obtainable as a very rare drop from any rewards chest at the end of a game, regardless of Chaos level or map.
  • Scarecrow - The Scarecrow will be available to purchase from the Emporium for 400 gems.
  • Gold Scarecrow - The Gold Scarecrow will be available to purchase from the Black Market Dealer for 250 million gold.

All scarecrows share the ability; Call of Scarecrow.

  • Ability: Call of Scarecrow – Fires a cursed apple that—upon impact—summons a scarecrow that confuses enemies. Enemies are confused for 10 seconds and take 25% increased damage.

[h2]Emporium[/h2]

  • Harvest Witch Gunwitch Costume - The Harvest Witch (and her trusty raven companion) creep through the crimson light of the blood-red moon, collecting their bounties from unsuspecting members of the Old One's Army. The Harvest Witch costume is available to purchase from the Emporium for 1200 gems and will continue to be available after the conclusion of the Harvest Moon Festival.

[h2]Fixes[/h2]
