It's the most ELECTRIFYING event in CrusadersSportsâ„¢ Entertainment, and it's back and bloodier than ever: the fifth-annual Carnage Cup is now officially underway!

This year's event promises great vengeance and furious anger as a new challenger, Morrigan, the Furious, enters the field. This leprechaun kicks ass and takes names, sure to be a massive DPS increase to the right Crusaders formation...

GET READY FOR CARNAGE CUP V!

Carnage Cup V runs until Tuesday, February 4th at 12PM PST, introducing Morrigan, the Furious and bringing back Groklok the Orc, Drizzle the Dark Elf, Karl the Kicker, Cindy the Cheer-Orc, Griz the Robo-Coach, and Nargulg Granitehand!

New Tier 5 Crusader: Morrigan, the Furious

Morrigan, the Furious is a no holds barred / take no prisoners / revenge is a dish best served cold-kind of Leprechaun DPS Crusader. She grows more powerful with each other Leprechaun in the formation with I'll Make My Own Team, and her Magic Mayhem further boosts her damage with an adjacent Magic Crusader on top of that!

Whenever she is Picking Fights or told she's Too Short to Ride she increases her DPS, and her Leprechaun Rage increases her Self DPS further for every 10 monsters killed while Morrigan is in the formation. At the same time, Go Long improves Morrigan's DPS for every 25 levels over (and including) level 200 with a stacking DPS multiplier.

Finally, Morrigan is Magically Enhanced, giving her debuff resistance (negative Formation abilities don't target her) and helping her to push through even the most challenging objectives.

Furious, dangerous things can come in small packages. We hope you enjoy Morrigan, the Furious!

It's time for Princess' Pool Party 5!

New Tier 5 Crusader: Jiaolong, the Guardian

Jiaolong, the Guardian descends from the skies above to bring a powerful dragon DPS Crusader to your formations! His Laden Clouds ability increases his DPS based on a percentage of your Gold Find, while his Azure Skies, Razor Claws, and Nine Sons upgrades increase his DPS.

With River Guardian, Jiaolong marks four slots in the formation when he's the highest DPS in the formation, with each marked slot increasing the Global DPS boosting of Crusaders in those slots (these slots change each reset). This ability is further buffed by Eternal Waterfall, which buffs River Guardian by 50% for each Support Crusader that it affects.
