Welcome a new system in the game — rune crafting system!
By using it you can create any rune of your choice: with double or triple effects, special event ones (for example, from the Halloween set of pumpkin runes or a triple rune for the central slot). The only condition is that you have at least one such rune in your collection.
The system itself is similar to the Tower, Spell, and Hero crafting systems:
<*> You should choose a rune that you want to create from the inventory. For crafting you need to have at least one such rune of any rarity in your inventory; <*> And proceed to the rune crafting interface by tapping a special button.
In the interface you can see:
<*> What rune was picked for crafting; <*> Progress Bar: you will make crafting available the first time you fill the bar to 100%. However, the rune you are creating will have a minimal rarity (for example, epic rarity in case of double runes and legendary for Retribution Rune). The more times you fill the progress bar, the rarer rune you will get, up to the cyan one.
If the progress bar is not completely filled the shown % indicates your chance of getting an additional rune of higher rarity.
Rune crafting requires some Silver and stones. The cost will increase accordingly the rarer the rune you are creating. Besides, creating runes with double and triple effects, and event runes will increase the cost of crafting and requirements for how much your progress bar is filled.
You can use any runes for crafting. The rarer the rune you use for crafting the more % of progress bar it will fill. However, the number of rune effects (one, two or three) will not help you fill the progress bar faster.
To make buying at the Random Shop more understandable and be in control of it, we have changed its assortment renewal rules.
<*> Now, you can renew the assortment of goods only by tapping the Update button; <*> Free renewals are given every three hours and you can get the maximum of three (as it is now).
Welcome her on the battlefields, Iron Fury! This flying enemy is protected by armor and you can encounter her if your account has reached Level 90.
There are two new mythic towers in the game — Flying Crusher and Missile Launcher.
Flying Crusher deals area damage, affecting both ground and underground enemies. And flies away then ːsteamhappyː
Missile Launcher is similar to the well-known Mortars and seals additional damage to the bosses.
Shaman invited his closest sibling to the Prime Zone, foil Shaman ːsteamhappyː
<*> Basic range of Aim Tower is 2.5 now (instead of 2) <*> Basic range of foil Aim Tower is 3 now (instead of 2.5)
<*> Fixed the bug with curses when effects from different sources did not sum up;
<*> Fixed the bug with graphical effect from Aim Tower might not appear on the Towers standing on the edge of its range.
Maintenance break
Dear players!
We are warning you that tomorrow, on November 10, Defenders 2 servers will go offline at 8:00 a.m. GMT. Maintenance break will last for 7 hours (until 3 p.m. GMT). After that, the brand new version of the game will become available.
We are sorry for the temporary inconvenience!
The Spooky fun event is coming to its end!
Defenders!
The Spooky fun event is coming to its end.
Please note that at 23:59 (GMT) on November 9 the event will end, the Spooky Shop will close, and all unspent pumpkins will be burned.
Hurry up to spend all the pumpkins you own to receive useful prizes!
If you have not yet collected enough pumpkins to get something of your desire — this is your last chance!
Rune Crafting
Defenders!
As we told you before, the rune crafting system is coming to the game soon ːsteamhappyː
This system will let you create any rune of your choice: with double or triple effects, the special event ones (for example, from the Halloween rune set — pumpkin runes or triple ones for the middle slot). The only condition is that you already have at least one such rune in your collection ːsteamhappyː
So, this system will help you use the stones from your inventory in a more effective way and turn them into the runes you need.
The difference from the card crafting system is the end result — there will be only one rune. The rune rarity depends on your choice — the more runes you use for crafting, the rarer rune you will get. You may receive even a cyan one!
The crafting system will be similar to the process of creating Tower, Spell, and Hero cards: Choose a rune that you would like to create from your inventory. Of course, you must have at least one such rune of any rarity in your inventory; Tap special button to open the rune crafting interface.
The interface will show you:
<*> Which rune was chosen for crafting;
<*> Progress Bar: you will make crafting available the first time you fill the bar to 100%. However, the rune you are creating will have a minimal rarity (for example, epic rarity in case of double runes and legendary for Retribution Rune). The more times you fill the progress bar, the rarer rune you will get.
In the example above, 40% is the chance to get an orange rune instead of a purple one.
Another example: During the Dreadful Fun event you got some improved event pumpkin runes. But you are missing just one stone to merge them into a mythic rune! The event is over… However, you are still able to craft the rune you need! Besides, you can craft not only a legendary rune — to be able to merge runes for better rarity — but a mythic one. You may get even a cyan rune!
You will just need to choose the needed pumpkin rune for crafting and merge it with some other runes from your inventory.
So, you will have the opportunity not only to control the process of creating the runes you need but even to get the desired rarity ːsteamhappyː
Besides, we are working hard on a completely new system of the resource mines. We will tell you about it very soon ːsteamhappyː
Spooky fun
Spooky Fun!
Defenders!
We found a place with very high otherworld activity in Defenders 2! They say there is really spooky fun going on there...
Defeat the attacks of the Creeps on a special location, get pumpkins as a reward, and exchange them for valuable prizes in a special Dreadful Store!
To get to the location, tap the button with pumpkin on the right side of the screen.
To battle in this otherworld place, the brave Defenders need special Energy. The Energy restores once a day or can bought for Stars. Active Premium doubles the amount of Energy! Clearing the hard levels does not require additional energy. It means the more hard levels you clear the more pumpkins you get!
For every victory (even on the hard levels) you will get pumpkins as a reward. Exchange them for valuable prizes in a special Dreadful Store!
Among the prizes, in the Dreadful Store you may find:
<*> Collectible event runes! Their effects (double and triple ones) are much stronger than those of the usual ones! <*> Special Shadow card shards for crafting, <*> Lots of regular runes with double or triple effects, <*> Card shards, including the foi ones; <*> And lots of resources!
Location level may be increased by clearing hard levels:
<*> clearing 1–10 hard levels will not change the location level <*> 11 cleared levels will increase location level by 1 <*> 12 cleared levels will increase location level by 2 <*> 13 cleared levels will increase location level by 3 etc. the maximum location level increase that can obtained in one battle is 10. You may get it after clearing 20 hard levels.
Reaching the Levels 90, 201, and 401 will increase the number of pumpkins you get as a battle reward. The active Premium doubles the number of pumpkins you get as a battle reward!
However, too high otherworld activity makes the location unstable. The location level resets daily according to the following rules:
<*> If the location level is below 90 → nothing changes <*> If the location level is 90–130 → it will be reset to 90 <*> If the location level is 130–150 → it will be reset to 110 <*> Level 150–170 → resets to 130 <*> Level 170-200 → resets to 150 <*> Level 200-250 → resets to 200 <*> Level 250-300 → resets to 250 <*> Level 300-350 → resets to 300 <*> Level 350 or above → resets to 350
The active Premium gives you a couple of bonuses simultaneously:
<*> Twice as much required Energy; <*> Twice as much pumpkins as battle rewards <*> and four special offers at the Dreadful Store!!
The most active Defenders can fight for top places in the rating!
The mine level number after reset reflects the amount of Dreadful Rating points received during a day. And all daily activities, in turn, will be summed up for the final rating number.
After the event is over, the players who have got top places will receive an additional reward!
These chevrons will not give you an edge in battles but they will add a dreadfully interesting icon to your nick in chat! ːsteamhappyː
Update 1.9.2
Attention Defenders! We found a place with very high otherworld activity in Defenders 2! They say there is really spooky fun going on there...
Defeat the attacks of the Creeps on a special location, get pumpkins as a reward, and exchange them for valuable prizes in a special Dreadful Store!

Foil versions of Golden Dust Barrier, Fire Rain, Wendigo, and Pumpkster are in the game now.
<*> Now The Queen Tower deals 100% additional damage to flying enemies (instead of 50%). – Ascension and Ingenuity Runes no longer increase the main parameter of the Tower but, starting from the legendary rarity, add an additional in-battle upgrade. The maximum number of upgrades (on cyan rarity) is five now.
<*> Barrier Rune now doubles the amount of additional damage to the Tower — 40-70%.
<*> Mythic chests cannot be bought for Red Crystals any longer — only for Stars;
<*> Rewards for completing assignments have been changed: The number of obtained helmets is 20, 60 and 120 per star now.
<*> At the players’ requests, the ability to sell whole cards for Silver is back.
<*> Fixed an incorrect interaction between the anomaly and Prime Injector’s bonuses;
<*> Fixed an incorrect damage increase when leveling-up Flying Saucer;
<*> Fixed the bug with an active Spell timer that stopped working on the following hard level;

New event - Extraterrestrial Guests

You will not find anything like that in the whole Universe. Bring the special tokens that you can find around the Prime Zone now to the extraterrestrial guests, and they will open the ship’s hold for you!
Extraterrestrial Guests
You can get many valuable rewards: 🔥 The rarest alien Towers and Heroes! 🔥 Lots of collectible Towers, flying ones and much more 🔥 Hero cards, including the newest ones! 🔥 Event Spells — Merciless Strike and Cleansing. 🔥 Foil shards and much more!
💥 Level 90 players can get Red Crystals and mythic card shards (including the foil ones)!

Update 1.9.1!
Defenders!
The update 1.9.1 has been installed. The Prime Zone is waiting for you!
To make the process of getting cards more transparent, understandable, and uniform, we have decided to get rid of the Hero chests.
<*> Now, the regular chests that you can receive as a battle reward or buy at the store can get you cards, Heroes shards, and all types of Hero tokens.
<*> We have removed Hero chests from the game.
Please note! You cannot get new Heroes — who appeared in the game with the last update — as well as the Heroes of the Servants and Brisk groups from the chests.
The rarity of Heroes and tokens, dropping from the chests, will be determined according to the current system, which means the whole process of getting Heroes will become much easier, including those of the legendary rarity ːsteamhappyː And, of course, you no longer have to spend tokens on Hero chests because you will only need them for evolution and craft.
<*> Now you can get mythic chests as a battle reward (both in PvP and in PvE high-level locations)
<*> Besides, the red chests now contain not only card shards but also silver, resources, and legendary runes (including those with a double effect)
<*> At the same time, you can buy red chests at the store for both Red Crystals and Stars.
Please note! In the future, the purchase of mythic chests for Red Crystals will be disabled.
It means that level 90 players will be able to receive mythic chests more often, and collecting runes of high rarity will become easier. After all, legendary runes will be in the red chests! And also valuable runes with a double effect ːsteamhappyː
Now, you can get Hero tokens as a reward for a completed task. Silver ones if your account is of Level 30 or above and Golden ones if it is of Level 70 or above.
Defenders 2 introduces a completely new system: the creation of specific player-selected Tower, Spell, or Hero card shards. Now you can use the accumulated shards to create the cards that you need!
To do this, you need to follow the instruction: <*> Select the card or card shard from those available in the collection; <*> Use a special button in the card menu that will take you directly to the crafting interface; <*> Select which cards from the inventory you would like to convert to the ones you have selected at the first stage.
Besides, by doing this, you get a chance of receiving a bonus — shards of card's foil analog or other special cards.
Thus, you will have full control of getting the cards you need and/or their duplicates (to increase the Quantity parameter, for example). And receive foil counterparts of your favorite cards ːsteamhappyː
A new enemy has appeared in the Prime Zone, Fleetle! You can meet it in any location if your account is of Level 90.
This flying enemy is extremely cunning: when trying to land, it burrows under the ground, removing all debuffs from itself, and continues its way there.
<*> Now, when choosing Heroes for a team (in the ship interface), you can see special icons indicating that the Hero belongs to a particular group.
<*> Also, you can now sort Heroes by groups.
<*> Added the function for an early automatic release of the Creep waves. Hooray! ːsteamhappyː
<*> Added the duration of magic display in-battle. It is a special icon with a countdown timer.
The evolution cost for cards of mythic rarity has been changed.
<*> The new cost of the evolution of red Towers and Spells is 150 Red Crystals, 20,000 essences of one type, and 10,000 essences of another.
<*> Evolution of the red Hero costs 150 Red Crystals + 4,500 silver helmets + 2,250 golden helmets.
<*> Added foil counterparts for many cards:
Towers: Incombustible Blackthorn, Flying Saucer, Incandescent Core, Christmas Tree, Festival Mortar, Petard Mortar, Minigun, Reviving Tower, Snowball, The Queen, Ghost Tower, Banshee Tower, Colony of Bats.
Spells: Merciless Strike, Time Warp, Golden Dust Barrier, Poisonous Swamp.
<*> Also, welcome a legendary hero of the Incineration group, Fiery Priestess, and her foil counterpart :)
<*> The Queen's second effect has changed — now it deals 50% more damage to flying enemies (previously, it returned 80% of the price upon sale). Also, the base damage for the Queen and its foil counterpart is increased by 5%
<*> The Hornet Hive and Colony of Bats now make invisible enemies visible and can attack invisible enemies (previously, they did not allow them to go invisible).
<*> Night Queen now increases the effectiveness of anomalies (instead of increasing their number).
<*> Fixed a bug with the Might Rune (and double runes with this effect) not affecting some towers.
<*> Fixed a bug with Flying Smasher and Snowball's projectiles that sometimes were floating in the air.
