The Halloween Event has begun!



-Added: New game mode “Fill a Pot”

The new game mode is an objective mode where the Witches have to fill 3 of the 5 cauldrons to win the round, while the Hunters must prevent them from doing so.
Join a game of “Fill a Pot” and choose your team. You will get sorted randomly into the Witch team or the Hunter team. Currently, you can play 2vs2. (We’re already testing 1vs1 and 3vs3). For this game mode the Possess skill is deactivated and the Garlic and Mushroom skills have shorter effects (Garlic 6 instead of 10 seconds, Mushroom 2 instead of 4 seconds). If your team member leaves the game, you are able to surrender and still get the XP. Your selected skills for this game mode are saved separately.

-Overheal is capped at 50% so you can only get up to 150% of original health

Mana Boost:
-Increases your mana regeneration rate immensely for 20 sec.
-To prevent Power Ups from making the skills too overpowered, we added small 1.5 sec cooldowns to existing Witch spells and rebalanced mana costs
