Seas of Dragonfall Part I

Dungeon Defenders II - ChromaticJoe

Seas of Dragonfall Part I

New Hero - The Aquarion

From the depths of Aquanos, within the sunken citadel where murmurs of ancient tales resonate, the Aquarion emerges. Born of the noble King and Queen of Aquanos, the young Queen now shoulders the weight of her royal lineage, fighting to stop her now corrupted father from claiming Aquanos for the Old One's Army.

Primary Attack

The Aquarion utilizes polearms to dispatch enemies at close range. When attacking, every third-consecutive attack will drench enemies!

Secondary Attack

The Aquarion charges up and fires a ranged frigid shard of ice, piercing enemies and dealing frost damage.

Active Abilities

Ice Orbs - The Aquarion summons four rotating balls of ice, dealing damage to enemies they come in contact with and granting them a chance to evade incoming attacks!
Whirlpool - Calls forth a raging whirlpool at the target location, damaging enemies and drawing them towards the center.
Oceanic Rift - Summons forth a geyser of high-pressure water that damages, knocks-up, and drenches enemies.
Bubble Bulwark - Creates a bubble-shield around the Aquarion. This reduced incoming damage and provides gradual health regeneration. When the bubble expires it detonates damaging nearby enemies.

Defenses

Pufferfish - Launches a large cluster of homing spines at enemies. Spines poison those hit, dealing damage over time.

Shard Vault

Introducing the Shard Vault! Professor Proteus has refined his Stash System, providing players with the ability to up to 3000 shards after purchase of the new vault. Do note, while the Shard Vault is limitless in capacity, stored shards will have any upgrades removed. Gilded shards will not lose their gilded status, however.

Daily Login Calendar

The Daily Login Calendar is a new feature that rewards players for--as the name implies--simply logging in! By speaking to Ol' Peepers in the Tavern, players can receive a free item once per day, with the reward varying depending on the cumulative number of times they've logged-in since the launch of Seas of Dragonfall Part I. After claiming the final reward, the calendar will be reset, allowing players to claim all rewards again!
