Awards 400 rubies.Changes to Get Me Out of HereThis update brings changes to Get Me Out of Here, specifically in that it is no longer a timed objective. As we continue to add content to the game, including the higher tier objectives, we feel that while the old version of Get Me Out of Here was a unique piece in the game, at the higher levels of difficulty it would be a blocker to all the new content.Get Me Out of Here is now set up in the following manner:. Tier 1 - Monsters can't be damaged by DPS as you try to beat area 150.

Awards 300 rubies.But how do new players complete Get Me Out of Here if there's no projectile Crusader in the original 20 Crusaders? That leads on to the next section.Changes to The Washed Up HermitWe are fans of The Washed Up Hermit's old mechanic of not having a Crusader directly in front of him, but if he wasn't in the front of your formation, it meant leaving an empty spot in your formation to get the power out of him, and most of the time, having another Crusader with Group DPS upgrades was more important than his boost.So we've changed up his Craziness ability to require 2 or less adjacent Crusaders to the Hermit to get the boost out of it.

Plus, since he is a bit crazy and he had the Arrow Attack ability sitting right there, we've changed it so that he's now a projectile firing Crusader. That way, he can help new players tackle the improved Get Me Out of Here, and for other objectives that would require a projectile Crusader before they've had a chance to recruit one from an event or the mission system.But wait, wasn't his Arrow Attack a boost for The Bush Whacker? The Washed Up Hermit still boosts The Bush Whacker.

We've moved the Swordplay boost to the Hermit's Dark War Stories upgrade. To accommodate the loss of that Self DPS upgrade, we boosted his remaining Self DPS upgrades. Now the Hermit is ready to help you out in your formations with his brand of crazy!We hope you enjoy this update!
