Occuring around April Fools Day, the April Event has changes based around mechanics that are more fun than being completely balanced. The following features have been exclusive to the event.
+
The April Event adds temporary changes which are fun and slightly silly, but may not be as balanced as regular gameplay. During the April Event, [[SuperHorse]] spawns in every game regardless of player count, and in addition to the normal heroes. Other current April Event features include:
  
=== SuperHorse ===
+
* '''Gazebogotchi''', a virtual pet which must be kept fed and happy throughout the game.
 
+
* '''Challenge Mode''', two optional toggles to make the game more difficult for the player.
A special Hero that doesn't adhere to the typical Major/Minor Hero scheme, Bruce Willakers's trusty steed Super Horse has many different tools in his kit. Super Horse will always spawn and will not prevent other heroes from spawning specifically during the April Event.
+
* '''Distraction Creepers''', which make confusing noises to bewilder dwarves.
 
 
* Mighty Hooves - A sword which when right clicked, causes Super Horse to leap forward a short distance.
 
* Equine Arrowslinger - A bow identical to the Dwarven Shortbow except that it has Infinity.
 
* Super Saddle
 
** Left click temporarily increases the showjumping potential of nearby dwarves, giving them Jump Boost.
 
** Right clicking a dwarf will put them on Super Horse's back, giving them a rampage for the entire duration they are riding him.
 
** The Super Saddle also has Knockback Resistance on it.
 
* When Super Horse eats (breaks) a cake, he will also get Resistance for 10 seconds.
 
* Super Horse also gets the standard Major Hero Kit, including the Dwarven Hero Armor except for the helmet, which is a normal Dwarven Helmet. This accomodates Super Horse's larger size, but doesn't also give him permenant Knockback Resistance from his helmet.
 
 
 
=== Chicken Jockeys ===
 
 
 
A Special Monster with the ability to pick up monsters by right clicking their Chicken Talons, Chicken Jockeys are fairly weak but can help monsters such as the Iron Golem and Blaze Cannon overcome their Slowness debuffs. They have an amount of innate Speed and can also crouch when falling to float down slowly.
 
 
 
=== Slimes ===
 
 
 
A Special Monster with the ability to jockey dwarves, substantially impairing their ability to fight. They are equipped with the Slimey Saddle, which when right clicked on a dwarf will place the Slime on their head.
 
 
 
When riding a dwarf, that dwarf is poisoned, unable to rampage, and has a much larger hitbox. Monsters should coordinate with a Slime and go after the dwarf that has their name show up in chat, using their weakness to their advantage.
 
 
 
The Slime cannot ride dwarves with Knockback Resistance active, whether it be from a Dwarven Oak Shield or from their armor if they're a hero. The Slime's health will also refresh every time it switches targets, so rapidly switching between dwarves to keep health up is effective. Slimes cannot be killed with a rampage when riding a dwarf, but can when unlatched.
 
 
 
If the dwarf a Slime is jockeying dies, the Slime will grow in size. It can do this up to 3 times, and after the 3rd time the Slime will become a Magma Cube, massive in size.
 
 
 
=== Distraction Creepers ===
 
 
 
The right click on the Creeper's and Super Creeper's Explosion and Super Explosion no longer only imitates the hiss sound, but can also imitate a number of random and strange sounds. Everything from a block breaking to the sounds of a dragon dying can occur.

Exactly the same as the April Event, Super Horse also appears in the Halloween event, except with an amazing Zombie Horse costume. He also is not guarenteed to spawn and is only added to the Minor Hero pool.

As well as the normal AI Zombies, AI Ghosts will spawn around player Monsters near dwarves. These Ghosts function similarly to AI Zombies, except they are partially invisible and have Jump Boost.

When a dwarf dies, a cloud of bats leaves their body. Whether these bats are inside the dwarf, manifest from their released soul, or are an indication of the dwarves' vampiric nature, it is not known...

SuperHorse spawns in every game during the April Event, and makes appearances in other events

Over the course of the year there are a number of events that occur for a short time. During these events, some game mechanics will differ and there will be a quest tailored to that event for the duration.

April Event

Main article: April Event

The April Event adds temporary changes which are fun and slightly silly, but may not be as balanced as regular gameplay. During the April Event, SuperHorse spawns in every game regardless of player count, and in addition to the normal heroes. Other current April Event features include:

  • Gazebogotchi, a virtual pet which must be kept fed and happy throughout the game.
  • Challenge Mode, two optional toggles to make the game more difficult for the player.
  • Distraction Creepers, which make confusing noises to bewilder dwarves.

Halloween Event

Ghosts are exclusive to the Halloween Event
Main article: Halloween Event

The Halloween Event includes changes which bring a spooky, scary tone to this game about zombies and skeletons. The event allows Emboars to spawn as regular special monsters, and adds SuperHorse to the regular hero pool. The event includes:

  • Ghosts, which are similar to zombies but with some additional abilities.
  • Moon Events, which replace the usual Temporal Shift and affect gameplay in unique ways.
  • Witches, which throw potions to harm dwarves and heal monsters.
  • Candy Apples, which can be collected by dwarves and eaten to provide random positive or negative effects.

Winter Event

Main article: Winter Event

Occurring around Christmas, the Winter Event puts on a seasonal layer of paint over the game as a whole but does not alter much core gameplay, leaving most of it to be cosmetic. The event includes Cookies, which dwarves can use to enable team-wide perks, as well as presents, which drop when special monsters are killed and can be collected by dwarves to provide scavenger rewards. The Winter Event also allows players to throw snowballs at each other.
