[h2]President's Day Surprise 2024 DLC[/h2]


Greetings, defenders! We're kicking off October the scariest way we know how—U.S. politics! Introducing the President's Day Surprise 2024 DLC, featuring both current presidential candidates; Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, as well as Abraham Lincoln and Elon Musk. Releasing with launch-discount, you can save 10% on this DLC until Saturday, October 10th!

Much like the 2012 President's Day Surprise DLC, these figures will take the form of hero costumes;

• Kamala - Costume for the Initiate. No stat changes.
  
• Trump - Costume for the Squire. This costume exchanges a portion of the Squire's health for a boost in movement speed, similar to the Squire's Mitt costume.
  
• Elon - Costume for the Monk. No stat changes.
  
• Lincoln - Costume for the Ranger. This costume exchanges a portion of the Ranger's movement speed for a boost in health and damage, similar to the Ranger's Tuxedo costume.
