Greetings, Crusaders!

Today's update includes additional Tier 3 11th Objectives for Grimm's Idle Tales, Mischief at Mugwarts, and Ready Player Two, with rewards for each that are sure to help you push further than ever before. This update also includes additional Missions, allowing players to recruit and earn equipment for the remaining Tier 3 Event Crusaders!

You can find more information about the additional Tier 3 11th Objectives below. Are you excited!? We are!

Grimm's Idle Tales: Which is Witch?

Note: this objective requires that all T3 Grimm's Idle Tales objectives are complete in addition to the Ghostbeard's Greed T3 11th objective.

• Wicked women and innocent ladies spawn at random.
• Both can only be damaged by clicking.
• Wicked women kill the front column of Crusaders upon reaching the formation.
• Innocent ladies disappear harmlessly upon reaching the formation.
• Killing an innocent lady spawns an invulnerable ghost which deals high damage.
• Reach area 1400.
• Reward: 10% extra rubies from objective completions. Also it's retroactive, so by completing the objective, you get bonus rubies based on how many objectives you've already done.

Mischief at Mugwarts: From the Ashes

Note: this objective requires that all T3 Mischief at Mugwarts objectives are complete in addition to the Grimm's Idle Tales T3 11th objective.

• A sorcerer and a serpent take up slots in the formation, changing every 50 areas.
• The serpent constantly deals damage to adjacent Crusaders, except Fire Phoenix.
• The sorcerer disables the DPS of all Crusaders except Fire Phoenix.
• Fire Phoenix's "Evil Eye" upgrade has been replaced with "Phoenix Tears" which heals her and adjacent Crusaders.
• All other Crusaders' healing abilities are ineffective.
• Reach area 1450.
• Reward: Your maximum Sprint area is now doubled. Works even if you haven't maxed out the Sprint talent yet.

Ready Player Two: Bullet Hell

Note: this objective requires that all T3 Ready Player Two objectives are complete in addition to the Mischief at Mugwarts T3 11th objective.

• Monsters can only be damaged by projectiles, explosions, and clicking.
• Many monsters are replaced by ranged monsters.
• Ranged monsters can't be damaged by clicking.
• Some ranged monsters spawn grenades on death.
• Grenades damage the front column of the formation for 50% of their max health.
• Reach area 1500.
• Reward: Maximum number cap raised to 1e600, up from 1e400.

Due to a growing number of extra benched Crusaders, we've increased the number of EP missions available at once and added some variety to the available missions to make them more accessible for more Crusaders!

Features:

• Added 18 new EP missions spread across all rarities and durations with a goal of evening out the tag distribution of EP missions.


• Increased the number of EP missions that can be available/running at once from 5 to 7.


• Added recruitment and gear missions for the first 8 tier 3 Crusaders (from Chiyome to Saint Patrokia); these new missions are the toughest to date.


• Added the Spring Flowers weekend buff (starting at noon PDT today).

Today we launch an ambitious update to Crusaders of the Lost Idols that adds an even deeper layer of strategy - and it's completely free.

Now you can:

• Unlock event Crusaders you may have missed!
• Win missing gear for event Crusaders!
• Earn enchantment points, jeweled chests, additional buffs and more!

How do I do all that, we hear your cry. Well, if you can spare the Crusaders from your formation, you can send them off on side missions for awesome rewards! However, there's a trade-off which will make you think carefully about your decisions.

How Do They Work?

You can find the Missions in the Daily Quests tab. Each mission will have specific requirements for you to meet if you want to ensure success. For instance, a mission might require you to send a male Crusader and a female Crusader, or a buffer and a DPS, or require having a certain amount of enchantment points or specific gear pieces on a Crusader to increase your chance of success. The more requirements you can fulfill, the more likely you are to succeed.

Each mission has specific Crusader requirements. Match the requirements to increase the chance of successfully completing them.

You'll have to make tough decisions managing your Crusader roster to beat the missions while still being able to complete the main campaigns and events. Not only is there a chance your mission might fail, but dangerous missions have a chance to incapacitate one of your returning Crusaders for a period of time, making them ineligible for regular objectives!

Missions range from reasonably short to epic voyages. Short missions include 10-minute forays for fun while other missions could take days to complete.

Missions can keep your Crusaders busy for a few minutes all the way up to days at a time.

The rewards on offer are worth it though. Some missions enable you to finally unlock past event Crusaders you have missed out on previously. Other missions will enable you to earn missing gear for your favourite event Crusader along with various other missions that award Enchantment Points, quick bounties of Gold, normal Jeweled chests, and temporary buffs that activate right away.

Rewards for successfully completing a mission include unlocking past Event Crusaders, their gear, jeweled chests, Enchantment Points and buffs.

To celebrate this giant new feature we've awarded a weekend buff to 5 Crusaders and there's an exclusive new jeweled chest available until Monday May 30 at Noon PDT! Don't miss out!
