## Mission Details

### **Crusader TagsRequired**:

1  Animal
1  Supernatural
1  Tank

## Solo Crusaders

The following crusaders can satisfy all this mission's requirements thereby allowing any other crusader to occupy the second slot.

* Jack O'Lantern
* Littlefoot
43G1S

The 43rd generation defensive droid from One Systems

 Greyskull the Pirate

 Eiralon, the Blood Mage

 Mycall the Mushroom

 Tiernan

**43G1S** is the new Crusader in the fourth tier of the Kaines' Dinner of Doom Event. 43G1S (also known as 'Aegis') is a Tank Crusader, ready and willing to add their skills to your formation. They'll absorb the damage of the Crusaders in the column in front of them. They'll charge up while the formation isn't under attack, and unleash his wrath on all monsters on screen once the monsters reach the formation. Plus, they've got a way with monsters, causing them to slow down and not reach your formation as quickly.

NOTE: *Adaptive Defenses* is considered 'ability' damage (like Fire Storm), but it is not considered a 'projectile'.

## Upgrades

Strategies[view] [edit] [history] [purge]
43G1S' ability to absorb damage from row in front of it makes it very useful in certain objectives or in formation where you really need to give the front row to certain crusaders such as The Washed Up Hermit ,Bruno the Unicorn , Bubba, the Swimming Orc and Turps the Tasty while keeping them safe from monsters attack. Those crusaders require to be placed in front row to maximize their abilities

43G1S is very valuable in The Final Battle objective to protect front row from deadly touch from curses. To reduce damage it receives, simply keep 43G1S' level up to date with progress to increase its health while leaving crusaders in front row in low level. This way, when any crusader in front row lose all of his/her health, 43G1S will receive minor damage. Add healer to heal 43G1S if needed

43G1S is also very valuable in Bullet Hell objective to protect front row from damage from grenades. Use same strategy as above to minimize damage it receives

Another objective where 43G1S shines is Sleeping Beauty Tier 4. With Hunky Princes killing front row, 43G1S can absorb damage from front row while slowing them down. Use same strategy as in The Final Battle above
Alan the ArchAngel (Companion)

The companion version of **Alan the ArchAngel** is in the second objective of the Nate's Candy Conundrum event, *Recruit Alan the ArchAngel*. He occupies the center of the formation and has the debuff "Smite", which affects a random Crusader every 15 seconds, reducing their DPS by 99% for 30 seconds.
43G1S/Strategies

43G1S' ability to absorb damage from row in front of it makes it very useful in certain objectives or in formation where you really need to give the front row to certain crusaders such as The Washed Up Hermit ,Bruno the Unicorn , Bubba, the Swimming Orc and Turps the Tasty while keeping them safe from monsters attack.

Alien Tree Formation

The Alien Tree Formation is the formation introduced with the special campaign, Gardeners of the Galaxy

As with all other formations, different objectives limit the available slots actually available to use.

When referring to positions within the formation, the general consensus has taken the following numbering as an ad-hoc standard.
Baenarall, Angel of Hope/Strategies

* Previously Baenarall's Ancient Hatred somehow still has effect in time-limited mission that locked out speed boost buff and President's Act of Congress ability. However after certain fix, it is disabled
* Baenarall's ability to increase monster spawn speed makes her used as speed crusaders together with President Billy Smithsonian, Turps the Tasty, Sjin the Builder, Chef Casey and Penny the Park Planner. Mindy the Mime usually joins them by mimicking two of these crusaders
* For example, with Mindy the Mime copying both Ancient Hatred and Act of Congress for permanent super speed boost and drop rate, this can quickly accelerate the area given the DPS is enough, make it perfect opportunity to quickly farm Idols especially with assist of Deep Idol Scavenger talent
* To get Diversity Day achievement, OrigamiSwami made an example of decent formation for it:  If you don't have Frankie, you can replace him with Sally
Ashton, Coffee Pong Referee

Alright sports fans, Referee Ashton is ready for pong!

 Artaxes, the Lion

 Drizzle the Dark Elf

 Bubba, the Swimming Orc

 Sisaron the Dragon Sorceress

 The Game Goblin

**Ashton, Coffee Pong Referee** is an exclusive Crusader only available by donating to the *Desert Bus for Hope* charity fundraiser, starting in 2021. Donations are made at desertbus.org/donate/crusaders.

Adina the Wonderful

A credit to all slugkind.

 The Exterminator

 Gloria, the Good Witch

 Trixie the Treater

 Holddoor

**Adina the Wonderful** is the new Crusader in the fifth tier of the Superhero Spring Event. As a *Paragon*, Adina increases Global DPS for each Superhero Crusader in the formation. *Justice for All* allows Adina to make heroes of the Crusaders around her, giving the Superhero tag to adjacent Crusaders in the formation. Her *Hero League* ability causes the Self-DPS formation abilities of Crusaders in her column to apply to all other Crusaders in the column at 20% effectiveness (note: this cannot be propagated or mimicked).

With *Ageless Life* Adina's DPS is multiplied 4x for every 25 levels over (and including) 200. Her *Growing Compassion* and *Be True* abilities increase Global DPS. And finally, as an *Expert Commander* Adina allows the formation abilities of Crusaders in her column to be active regardless of their requirements (note: this cannot be propagated).

An ageless hero that embodies wonder, power, and grace, Adina the Wonderful is sure to lead any heroic formation to victory!

## Upgrades

Items[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Strategies[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

* Good crusaders to use with Adina's Hero League ability are:
	+ Deathpuddle (Amped Up and Cell Mutation)
	+ Morrigan the Furious (Leprechaun Rage)
	+ The Wolf King (Wolf Pack, Empowered Fur, and Bloodlust)
	+ Wendy the Witch (Draw Power)
	+ Wrena the Fair (Come My Friends!/Minions and By the Light of the Morning Star)
* Good crusaders to use with Adina's Expert Commander ability are:
	+ Emo Werewolf (Lone Wolf)
	+ The Washed Up Hermit (Craziness)
	+ Tiernan (Lost Souls)
	+ Odile, Snowflake Defender (Quad Loop of Death)
Aphelion the Distant/Strategies

* Currently the only evil Flora Crusader is Kris, the Enraged Elemental. Who increases global DPS for each level Flora Crusaders have.
* Both Dr. Almquist, Tusk Specialist and Hildr the Gym Teacher have abilities that increase global DPS based on evil crusaders in the formation(Dr. Almquist) or next to them (Hildr). Dr. Almquist also has the evil tag.
* Aphelion has some synergy with Dr. Evil, PhD. Because Waxing Gibbous gets stronger with each evil crusader (which Dr. Evil is) and Dr. Evil's Special Grant Money increases gold find when a supernatural crusader is infected (which Aphelion is) the only missing piece is a female crusader(Kris is female, male and supernatural) in infection range.

A Short Word From Our Sponsors

Please stand by for a brief word from our sponsors. Well, not that brief -- more like an infomercial.

## Mission Details

### **Crusader TagsRequired**:

1  Male
1  Event
1  Healer

## Solo Crusaders

The following crusaders can satisfy all this mission's requirements thereby allowing any other crusader to occupy the second slot.

* Brogon, Prince of Dragons
* Bruno the Unicorn
* Mycall the Mushroom
* The Holy Guardian
Artaxes, the Lion

Artaxes lusts for power. He never really got enough.

 Drizzle the Dark Elf

 Bubba, the Swimming Orc

 Sisaron the Dragon Sorceress

 The Game Goblin

 Ashton, Coffee Pong Referee

**Artaxes the Lion** is the tenth Crusader available in game, most notable for his special upgrade *Roar* to boost DPS in the column in front of him. His 5th upgrade also unlocks the Savage Strikes ability, which boosts Critical Click Chance.

**King of Beasts**

Available in Jeweled Chests or with a one-time token purchase from The Ruby Exchange, Artaxes can change his appearance.

(This is a cosmetic change only.)

## Upgrades for The Lion King objective

See The Lion King objective for details.

Items[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Strategies[view] [edit] [history] [purge]
* Perhaps one of the most commonly used buffers and with a dps-buff (Roar!) of the highest value, 50% (55/62.5/75/100% with Amulet equipment), Artaxes is your top-priority buffer that must be present in your formation!
* In order to make way for Artaxes, it is recommended to avoid placing your main damage-dealer at the last column of the formation.
* In most cases, it is easy to place Artaxes for him to buff your main damage-dealer; any slot behind the main damage-dealer works.
	+ Even though the buffing mechanics of Artaxes' Roar! buff work almost similarly as Sasha's, it is relatively easier to find a place for Artaxes than Sasha since:
		- Artaxes is a non-human, hence he will not affect the Lone Wolf buff of the Werewolf when placed next to him (in fact, he is the appropriate crusader to be placed adjacent to the Werewolf at the column behind); and
		- Artaxes will not affect the Craziness buff of the Hermit since he buffs from behind, whereas there is a chance for Sasha to conflict with that buff as she might occupy the slot in front of him were she to buff him.

Arenvarr the Beheaded

The severed, rejoined in death.

 Sashimi the Seal

 Ishtar

 Kris, the Enraged Elemental

**Arenvarr the Beheaded** can be unlocked by completing the eleventh objective of the Mme. Finklebottom's Revenge campaign, Everest.

Arenvarr spreads the taint of undeath through the formation with *Cursed Gold*, forcing any Crusaders in a column with a Gold Finder to gain the Undead tag. This helps increase DPS with the *Shared Curse* ability, increasing the bonus and its multiplier for each Undead Crusaders, as well as gold through *Unearthly Riches*, which continues to increase through *The Hoard Grows* which can be repurchased.

**Spiritual Reanimation**

With their new skin, Arenvarr lives again. They have tag changes:

  Undead

* List here the strategies identified for this crusader.
* Use subheadings of level 3 and higher to divide sections if required.

Alan is best used once doing missions involving instant death monsters. His blinding light ability, combined with some speedster crusaders, is usually enough to let you switch areas before the monsters break your tank line. If it is not enough, his resurrection ability might let you squeeze a few extra seconds, as it lets you trigger the blinding light ability a second time.

A Sssurprisssing Twissst (Unlock Crusader Mission)

You've heard rumor of a slippery, conniving, serpent Crusader with a penchant for breaking faces. Track down the rumors and you'll recruit a powerful dps Crusader from the Trek Through the Hidden Temple event.

## Mission Details

### **Crusader TagsRequired**:

1  Female
1  Male
2  Human
1  Orc
1  Elf
1  Animal
1  Supernatural
2  Magical
3  Event
1  DPS
1  Gold Finder

### **Reward**:

Unlock Serpent King Draco

Auto Progression Mode

**Auto Progression** mode allows a Formation to continue battling its way through the enemies of a Objective and do so without requiring the Player to manually progress the Formation to the next Area. As soon as the Formation has completed the Area's quest objectives, with Auto Progression toggled on, the Formation will move to the next Area, as long as there is at least one surviving member of the Formation. However, if the entire Formation is killed, then the Formation is returned to the previous Area and **Auto Progression mode is toggled off**, and the Formation will remain idling there, still accruing gold for the player.

The Auto Progression setting is a useful mode for Formations that have high DPS and are ready to go through lower Areas without the Player having to actively click through the Areas.

### Notes

* Auto Progression mode is only be available **after the player has reset the world once**.
* The Auto Progression mode toggle button can be found:
	+ As a button to the right of the Settings button
	+ Under the Settings menu

Alacrity the Matchmaker

The arbiter of love.

 Bridget the Painter

 Xygallix

 Ursula the Busy Bee

 Regent Sawtooth

**Alacrity the Matchmaker** is the new Crusader in the fifth tier of the Merci's Mix-up Event. Alacrity isn't your stereotypical demon: they're bubbly, vivacious and willing to help out your team with their skills, and some help from their impish friends.

The flow of magic in your formation will affect Alacrity with the *Metamorphosis Mastery* upgrade. When you have more magical than non-magical tagged Crusaders next to Alacrity, they'll change into their female self. When it's more non-magical than magical adjacent, Alacrity will switch to their male self. If there's a even amount of magical and non-magical Crusaders around them, they'll remain their bubbly Non-Binary self. Alacrity is so friendly, that they're able to summon 3 Imp friends to help them, and you, out:

* *Summon Scamp* - If Alacrity is adjacent to at least 2 Support tagged Crusaders, they'll summon Scamp. When Scamp is active, monster spawn speed is increased by 50%. This is buffed when Alacrity is in their male form, and can be buffed by their Love Meter equipment.
* *Summon Trickster* - When there are at least 2 Angel or Demon tagged Crusaders in the formation, Trickster will be summoned. While Trickster is around, they'll summon a special Imp monster every 10 seconds, which counts for area progress and drop extra gold when killed. Spawns will double when Alacrity is in their Non-Binary form and you can reduce the summoning timer by collecting Alacrity's Letterhead gear.
* *Summon Scoundrel* - When Alacrity is adjacent to at least 4 other Crusaders, Scoundrel will show up. Scoundrel provides the formation with a 50% global DPS buff per each adjacent Crusader, which is increased when Alacrity is female.
* *Familiarity* - The imps continue to help out with this upgrade, providing an extra buff to the gold find provided for having Crusaders who share tags with Alacrity in formation.

Agent 79

The rising star of the Crusader Intelligence Agency.

 Priestess of Time

 Ana Guinness

 Koivu the Dryad

 Xochitl, La Llorona

**Agent 79** is the second crusader in the 24th slot. She can be unlocked by completing the eleventh objective of the Amusement Park of Doom campaign, Water Guns of Doom. She swaps with Priestess of Time.

Agent 79 is a support Crusader specializing in ranged attacks. At level 100, *Ricochet Training* makes all projectiles have a 15% chance of bouncing and causing 50% damage to an additional monster. Better still, the ricochet can bounce up to five times if you're lucky!

At level 400, *Explosive Ammo* makes all projectiles explode on impact, dealing 25% of their base damage to all nearby monsters.

**Double Agent**

Reaching level 21 of the Clocktower dungeon season with the Mysterious Benefactor pass rewards a cosmetic skin for Agent 79.

## Upgrades

Items[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Strategies[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

* Her skills enhance the abilities of other crusaders who shoot projectiles, making them bounce, explode and drop gold. See Projectiles page for reference. Projectiles work either using X10 DPS per shot or X100 Click per shot. So if you plan on building a projectile oriented formation, use a click crusader like Slisiblyp, the Alien Scientist or The Bush Whacker with legendaries to draw out as much clicking damage as possible.
Adina the Wonderful/Strategies

* Good crusaders to use with Adina's Hero League ability are:
	+ Deathpuddle (Amped Up and Cell Mutation)
	+ Morrigan the Furious (Leprechaun Rage)
	+ The Wolf King (Wolf Pack, Empowered Fur, and Bloodlust)
	+ Wendy the Witch (Draw Power)
	+ Wrena the Fair (Come My Friends!/Minions and By the Light of the Morning Star)
* Good crusaders to use with Adina's Expert Commander ability are:
	+ Emo Werewolf (Lone Wolf)
	+ The Washed Up Hermit (Craziness)
	+ Tiernan (Lost Souls)
	+ Odile, Snowflake Defender (Quad Loop of Death)
Alchemy

Alchemy is an ability gained by Merci, the Mad Wizard, The Bat Billionaire, Polly the Parrot or Skeletom. Petra the Pilgrim does not have an upgrade to access this ability, despite being in the same bench slot.

Alchemy causes all (non-dead) members of the current formation to restore 10% HP every half a second for 30 seconds. There is a 30 minute cooldown following use, trinkets found in chests may reduce this cooldown.

Merci, the Mad Wizard, or another crusader from the same bench slot other than Petra, must be present in the current formation to use Alchemy. The effect continues even when the crusader that started it is removed from or replaced in the formation.

## Equipment

Merci has a piece of gear that doubles the effect of Alchemy.

The Bat Billionaire can get the Gliding Bat-o-Cape of the Silent Attacker that has a legendary effect of adding a damage bonus to the effect of Alchemy.
Agent 79/Strategies

* Her skills enhance the abilities of other crusaders who shoot projectiles, making them bounce, explode and drop gold. See Projectiles page for reference. Projectiles work either using X10 DPS per shot or X100 Click per shot. So if you plan on building a projectile oriented formation, use a click crusader like Slisiblyp, the Alien Scientist or The Bush Whacker with legendaries to draw out as much clicking damage as possible.
Baenarall, Angel of Hope

Hope, descending on a ray of light.

 The Princess

 RoboTurkey

 Ranger Rayna

 Willy the Weregoat

**Baenarall, Angel of Hope** is the first tier 2 crusader available from the event *Nate's Candy Conundrum*. She is an alternate crusader who swaps with The Princess.

At level 150, her ability *Diversity* increases the global DPS +20% per Unique Tag in the formation but minus 5% for each duplicate tag Crusader (all additive) (ie. male, male, human, animal = 40% for 2 unique tags (animal+human) - 5% for males being duplicates = 35%). This was announced in the blog to be 60% for 3 unique tags - 5% for extra male = 55%, but as of V0.106 the behavior is to only count tags as unique, which are literally unique (only one crusader in formation with that tag).
 "Diversity" cannot reduce your DPS.

At level 400, Baenarall unlocks *The Old Guard* which increases the global DPS +5% for each non-event Crusader in the formation.

**Angel of Despair**

With her new skin, Baenarall can become an evil angel instead, giving a new twist on her abilities. This creates a single set of tag changes:

  Good
  Evil

Tim Conway

**Toma Daniel "Tim" Conway** (December 15, 1933 - May 14, 2019) was an actor, comedian, writer, and director. He portrayed the inept Ensign Parker in the 1960s World War II situation comedy McHale's Navy, was a regular cast member on the 1970s variety and sketch comedy program The Carol Burnett Show, co-starred with Don Knotts in several films in the late 1970s and early 1980s, starred as the title character in the Dorfseries of sports comedy films. He is best known for providing the voice of Barnacle Boy in the animated series “SpongeBob SquarePants”.

## Death

On September 27, 2018, SpongeBob showrunner Vincent Waller commented that during the time Conway was recording dialogue for the seagull in “The Spongebob Movie: Sponge Out of Water”, he was having trouble recording due to health issues. It would ultimately lead to his retirement from playing Barnacle Boy and from acting as a whole. In 2018, Tim Conway was diagnosed with dementia due to normal pressure hydrocephalus, had surgery to have a ventricular shunt placed, and was confined to a wheelchair. His daughter Kelly and his wife Charlene each wanted sole conservatorship over his health. Judge Robert Wada ruled against Kelly since he was in a hospital. In March 2019, his wife was granted conservatorship. Tim Conway died on May 14, 2019 from complications of normal pressure hydrocephalus. He was 85 years old.

On the "Formations" tab you can create and compare the bonuses different formations get from abilities and items.

On the "Crusaders" tab you can fill in the cells about your multipliers to look at the asymptotic scaling of champions.

Once you've filled in the "Crusaders" tab, the "Efficiency" tab will show you the DPS you would get from a Crusader (or formation splitting money, "mixed strategy") after investing a certain amount in them.

The low and high end of the investment can be changed by editing the cells to the right of "Range".

The Crusaders that deal the most will be highlighted.

## Formation Calculator

The Formation Calculator helps you assess which Crusaders to use, and how to build your formation:

* Individual Crusader DPS charts based on your items and bonuses help you decide who to use.
* Calculates the DPS, Click Damage, Gold Bonus, and Cooldown of any formation at any point in the game.
* Uses a detailed efficiency analysis to provide the optimal investment level for your formation.

Note: you must make a copy of the sheet to use it, which requires a Google account.
A Song of Thrones/The Flaming Lady

After level 25, The Lord of Flames buffs/debuffs all crusaders in a given bench slot, noted by colored flames on the Crusader. *Lord of Flames Favor* is denoted by orange flames and increases DPS of that Crusader by 50%, while *Lord of Flames Spite* is indicated by blue flames, and decreases that Crusader's DPS by 95%. Note that The Bush Whacker (and his alternates) and the slot 21-28 crusaders, are not affected.
Audre DeLarveie

Small in stature, large in spirit.

 Zuczek the Fire-Blooded

 Shir Brio of Cadenza

**Audre DeLarveie** is the new Crusader in the seventh tier of the Merci's Mix-up Event.

A long time ago, and just around the corner in a cozy little cottage, a dwarf and an elf loved each other very much and they had a daughter, whom they named Audre. They raised her with love and taught her to be kind and polite, but polite doesn't mean agreeing with everything people ask of her. She also developed a backbone.

One day, you're walking along the street and past the cottage where Audre is sitting outside with a table and a stack of pamphlets.

"Could I talk to you about people's rights?" she asks, holding out a pamphlet to you.

Intrigued, you read the pamphlet a bit. "This is really well-thought-out. What's the catch?"

She grimaces. "What do you mean, catch? Everyone deserves fair treatment, no matter their background or views, but we're not there yet. There's still more work to do."

You think about it for a second. "That makes sense. We could use your spirit," you say. "Wanna come with us? We travel through a lot of universes, you could get your message spread pretty far."

Audre crosses her arms and thinks for a minute, looking at her cottage. "March with pride across the multiverse? Count me in. Hannah, I'm going on an adventure!"

Hannah stepped out of the cottage and walked over to Audre and you. "Of course you are," she said, giving Audre a hug and kiss. "But come back from time to time, all right? I'll miss you."

"A herd of stampeding alien trash pandas couldn't keep me away," Audre smirked. "I'll come back in my downtime." Turning to you, she said, "Let's go!"

Audre has joined the party.

Buffs

**Buffs** are usable boosts in the game to aid you. They are stack-able to an unknown amount or indefinitely and they do not stay with you after resets. Buffs do not affect each other (such as Gold Boost and Time Skip) so use them wisely. When using a time skip make sure to have the most DPS & Gold Bonus at that time. The critical multipliers are additive.

You can use different rarities of the same buff simultaneously, however you cannot stack the effect of a single rarity.

### Time Skips

Due to time skips working instantaneously they are called *Warps* rather than *Buffs*. Warps are no longer calculated by number of kills in the past 30 seconds. The new method is calculated by your current DPS. Maximizing your DPS by using special formations, other buffs, Savage Strikes, or reducing any negative DPS modifiers will increase the amount of gold earned.

 Delorean
Aphelion the Distant

Always distant, but always there.

 Carmen and Petunia

 Ichtaca, the Keeper

 Rosoideae

 Mitsuko the Six-Tailed

**Aphelion the Distant** is the new Crusader in the fourth tier of the Sasha's Schoolhouse Scourge Event. Don't let the size of this moon pixie fool you — Aphelion is a formidable Support/DPS Crusader. Their *Waxing Gibbous* increases the DPS of Crusaders at the top and bottom of the formation, and *Twilight* increases the effect of Waxing Gibbous for each Evil Crusader in the formation.

When it comes to self-DPS buffs, *Synchronous Rotation* increases Aphelion's DPS for each Crusader affected by Waxing Gibbous, and it gets even better once you unlock *Waning Crescent* to improve the buff for each Flora Crusader. *Jade Rabbit* is a straight self-DPS buff, and *Lunar Mare* increases Aphelion's DPS by the square of all owned Epic or Legendary items!

Strategies[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

* Currently the only evil Flora Crusader is Kris, the Enraged Elemental. Who increases global DPS for each level Flora Crusaders have.
* Both Dr. Almquist, Tusk Specialist and Hildr the Gym Teacher have abilities that increase global DPS based on evil crusaders in the formation(Dr. Almquist) or next to them (Hildr). Dr. Almquist also has the evil tag.
* Aphelion has some synergy with Dr. Evil, PhD. Because Waxing Gibbous gets stronger with each evil crusader (which Dr. Evil is) and Dr. Evil's Special Grant Money increases gold find when a supernatural crusader is infected (which Aphelion is) the only missing piece is a female crusader(Kris is female, male and supernatural) in infection range.

Big Foot Formation

The Big Foot Formation is the formation introduced with the special campaign: Littlefoot's Big Adventure.

As with all other formations, different objectives limit the available slots actually available to play.

When referring to positions within the formation, the general consensus has taken the following numbering as an ad-hoc standard.

Col 5
 Bottom
Artaxes, the Lion/Strategies

* Perhaps one of the most commonly used buffers and with a dps-buff (Roar!) of the highest value, 50% (55/62.5/75/100% with Amulet equipment), Artaxes is your top-priority buffer that must be present in your formation!
* In order to make way for Artaxes, it is recommended to avoid placing your main damage-dealer at the last column of the formation.
* In most cases, it is easy to place Artaxes for him to buff your main damage-dealer; any slot behind the main damage-dealer works.
	+ Even though the buffing mechanics of Artaxes' Roar! buff work almost similarly as Sasha's, it is relatively easier to find a place for Artaxes than Sasha since:
		- Artaxes is a non-human, hence he will not affect the Lone Wolf buff of the Werewolf when placed next to him (in fact, he is the appropriate crusader to be placed adjacent to the Werewolf at the column behind); and
		- Artaxes will not affect the Craziness buff of the Hermit since he buffs from behind, whereas there is a chance for Sasha to conflict with that buff as she might occupy the slot in front of him were she to buff him.

Broot/Strategies

* Broot has a lot of crusader's tags and both genders. He is very effective on missions. If she has 200 enchantment points, she increases the success of the item upgrade mission.
* One of the tank-iest Crusader - Broot and Robbie Raccoon combinations plus Drizzle the Dark Elf and Groklok the Orc combinations plus Dark Gryphon for formations with at least two slots at two frontmost columns make Broot a very hard Crusader to be logged. Assuming you have the bare mininum items, Broot will get 27.5% damage reduction and 55% health boost from Robbie, 40% damage reduction and 20% health boost from Drizzle+Groklok combo, and 44% damage reduction and 10% health boost from Dark Gryphon. Of course, this means you already used five slots just for tanking.

A **bench slot** is a single position on the bench and can have 0 or more crusaders occupying it. At first, there are only 20 slots shown and they will each have only one crusader occupying them. Only one crusader per bench slot will be directly visible from the game window. When buying levels or upgrades for some or *all* crusaders, only crusaders at the *top* of their bench slot can have levels and upgrades bought.

Beary McBearFace

Bet you think that's real funny, don't you?

 King Reginald IV

 Queen Siri

 Mr. Boggins, the Substitute

 Squiggles the Clown

**Beary McBearFace** is the second Crusader in the second tier of the Littlefoot's Big Adventure Event.

At level 150, Beary unlocks *Controlled Burn* which lights a random monster on fire every 2.5 seconds. The monster stays on fire until it dies, taking 20% more damage from all sources. At level 300, Beary unlocks *Stomp Out Campfire* which increases his DPS addtively +100% for each enemy on fire from Controlled Burn.

He shares the slot with King Reginald IV, Queen Siri, Mr. Boggins, the Substitute, and Squiggles the Clown; as such, he can never be used with them.

The name Beary McBearFace was chosen by players from a list of top user submissions.[1]

As with all other formations, different objectives limit the available slots actually available to use.

Bruno the Unicorn

Finally, the unicorn that The Princess always wanted.

 The Shadow Queen

 Ilsa, the Insane Wizard

 The Evanescent

 Odile, Snowflake Defender

**Bruno the Unicorn** is the new Crusader in the fourth tier of the Princess' Pool Party Event. As he trots out from the shadows of myth, Bruno the Unicorn brings with him the power to heal his fellow Crusaders and to increase Gold Find. He's also there to give support to his fellow supernatural friends, benefiting from formations built with Dragons and Dwarfs.

At level 100, Bruno can rejuvenate everyone in the formation with *Let My Horn Heal You*, and increase from 20% health for each dragon in formation with *Dragons Sure Are Friendly*. Most notably, *Marvelous Gold* at level 1500 will increase Gold find every time an ability is used, especially helpful in long runs (perhaps with Taskmasters casting abilities).

**Kelpie**

With his new skin, Bruno transforms from an animal into something much darker! Kelpie has a single set of tag changes:

  Animal

  Demon
Brogon, Prince of Dragons/Strategies

* Brogon's "Molten Shoes" capability is a potent option compared to Momma Kaine's "Stasis Beam" for slowing enemies.
* Brogon is best used in a column to buff a main DPSer in that column.
* Getting Brogon's EP raised can be useful, as his unique combination of Royal, Animal and Healer Tags is useful for several missions.
* Because of Brogon's ability to heal crusaders not next to him, Brogon can be utilized to create a double or triple tank line. This ability can also create higher healing power on a single tank line with healers behind, as Brogon does not need to occupy a slot next to the other healer.
Biff the Magic Rabbit

He's ready to dish out a healthy dose of beta-carotene.

 Chiyome

 Griz the Robo-Coach

 First Lady Betty Smithsonian

 Zoraeban, Demonic Angel

**Biff the Magic Rabbit** is the new Crusader in the third tier of the Nate's Candy Conundrum Event. Biff is an AoE DPS who tosses massive carrots at enemies. He'll be the most muscular Magic Rabbit in your formation, we guarantee it! Note: Biff is not smarter than your average magic rabbit.

At level 100, *Biff's Carrot* will hit a random monster with an area-of-effect attack to damage other enemies close by. Level 400 unlocks *Fan Club*, which grants a global DPS boost for each monster hit by the carrot.

**Cyber-Bunny**

With his new skin, Biff can gain robot enhancements and a new name. Cyber-Bunny has a single tag addition:

  Robot

**Brogon, Prince of Dragons** is one of the two crusaders introduced with the A Song of Thrones event. He is a scaly dragon that is totally yoked, brah. When he's not in the dragon gym, he's downing brewskis with his bromies. So much swag can't be contained.

In der Hesinde-Kirche wird sie als Heilige und Kirchenlehrerin verehrt. Daneben wird auch in anderen Kirche mit Gedenktagen an sie erinnert.

**Elftraute von Westfar** gilt als erste Vertreterin der Mystik. Ihre Werke befassen sich mit Religion, Medizin, Musik, Ethik und Kosmologie. Sie war auch Beraterin vieler Persönlichkeiten. Von ihr ist ein umfangreicher Briefwechsel erhalten geblieben, der auch deutliche Ermahnungen gegenüber hochgestellten Zeitgenossen enthält, sowie Berichte über weite Seelsorgereisen und ihre öffentliche Predigertätigkeit.
Boss Area

A **Boss Area** is a special Area that has a Boss and some minion enemies for the Formation to fight. The minions spawn in two waves and then the Boss spawns. Once the Boss spawns, there are no more enemies spawn until after all enemies are defeated.

The objective of a Boss Area is to defeat the Boss, but even if the Boss is defeated before all the minions are defeated, the minions must also be defeated.
Rothori

Rothori: A unique gelform race, the Rothori are a multi-cellular race that can change their form at will, even to the point of slipping under a door or small crevices in the floor. Rothori live in small lakes on their homeworld (Rothori Zha, C440310) and the planet is non-industrial, poor, and literally one gigantic desert. These aliens are also the galaxy’s best mathematicians and can only be found off-world in small numbers. Rothori are mainly located in King subsector of Kobra Sector, have never colonized other planets, and they usually do not venture far from their homeworld.
