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. The past events are listed below.

April Event

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.

SuperHorse

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.

• 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.

Quest: Showjump Showdown

SEOMTHING AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Halloween Event

Occuring around Halloween, the Halloween

Super Horse

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.

Ghosts

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.

Bats

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...
