A crisp Autumn chill can be felt flowing throughout Dragonfall, which can mean only one thing; the Harvest Moon Festival is nigh!
Some defenders may already be privy to the arrival of the festival, as we tend to allude to our upcoming events in our Discord and on our Developer Twitch Streams, but to all others let this serve as our official announcement!
The Harvest Moon Festival is an in-game event that will span two weeks, featuring new limited-time pets, and a new vendor; Farmer Tom!
Farmer Tom
Farmer Tom makes his grand debut in Dragonfall, bringing a bounty of fresh goods at unbeatable prices. He has a bit of a dilemma, however. His trusty scarecrow companion has gone missing during his travels, and he’s desperately searching for it! Help Farmer Tom reunite with his beloved scarecrow with the aid of his power-granting produce!
Farmer Tom can be found in the Tavern and Town Hub selling a variety of consumables;
Bruised Apple – Causes your face to pucker from its sour taste. Increases health by 25% and reduces damage taken by 25% from pure determination!
Carrot Dash – Grants heroes the speed and agility of a rabbit! Gain 500 movement speed and a 15% chances to dodge attacks while active.
Fruitimal – Upon consumption your basic attacks will fire a bouncing fruitimal. This produce projectile will explode upon contact with an enemy, dealing 750% hero damage.
Popcorn Burst – When defeated, enemies explode into a popcorn shower dealing 25% of their max health as AoE damage to surrounding enemies.
Radish Rocket – Hero will periodically shoot radish rockets. These rapid roots home-in on enemies and explode, dealing 3000% ability power.
Squash Smash – Heroes unleash a small shockwave whenever you land from a jump, dealing 100% of hero damage and slowing nearby enemies by 50%. “Oh my gourd!” – some goblin, probably.
Whole Grain Guard – The hero is enveloped in a freshly baked, protective aura of whole grains. This grants 10% damage reduction and causes enemies that strike the hero to take 500% damage in return.
Scarecrow Pets
Scarecrows scare crows, but they also make for great pets! Three scarecrow variants will be obtainable during this event;
Scarecrow Ghost – The Scarecrow Ghost pet will be obtainable as a very rare drop from any rewards chest at the end of a game, regardless of Chaos level or map.
Scarecrow – The Scarecrow will be available to purchase from the Emporium for 400 gems.
Gold Scarecrow – The Gold Scarecrow will be available to purchase from the Black Market Dealer for 250 million gold.
All scarecrows share the ability; Call of Scarecrow.
Ability: Call of Scarecrow – Fires a cursed apple that—upon impact—summons a scarecrow that confuses enemies. Enemies are confused for 10 seconds and take 25% increased damage.
Emporium
Finally, a new costume for the Gunwitch will debut during this event and will continue to be available beyond the conclusion of the Harvest Moon Festival;
Harvest Witch Gunwitch Costume – The Harvest Witch (and her trusty raven companion) creep through the crimson light of the blood-red moon, collecting their bounties from unsuspecting members of the Old One’s Army. The Harvest Witch costume is available to purchase from the Emporium for 1200 gems.
We’re planning to launch this event Tuesday, September 10th on Steam, and soon thereafter on consoles. It’s been quite some time since our last foray into a new seasonal event, so we urge you to join the conversation and share your thoughts on your choice of social media platform. Get excited, defenders!
