- Access the Carnival map through the Heroes Marketplace. This map contains new enemy variants, special prizes and more! You can play the map with or without an Admission Pass, but you can only get the items on the Bling Wheel if you have a Pass.
Bling Wheel
- If you entered the Dragonfall Carnival map with an Admission Pass, you’ll get to spin the Bling Wheel for 1 of 16 unique prizes! The Bling Wheel does not give out duplicates, so each Pass is guaranteed to give you a new item from the Bling Wheel. Prizes include:

BALANCE
Heavy Cannonball Tower
- We’ve upgraded the damage output and accuracy of the Heavy Cannonball Tower to be more competitive with other towers.
- Defense Power Ratio increased 1.9 -> 2.4.
- Projectile speed increased 2,250 -> 3,500
Lightning Strikes Aura
- The LSA was lagging behind other defenses, so we’ve increased its damage output to try and bring it back into a competitive state.
- Defense Power Ratio increased 5.2 -> 7.0
Additional Notes
- Adjusted mortar-style shot DPS to be closer to other weapon behaviors for Huntress/Apprentice.
- Wyverns that Betsy summons during her fight were previously overly aggressive and overly leveled. The level of those wyverns has been reduced. The keeper of those wyverns has been warned to not let it happen again.
- Changed Gatodouken/Rock Throw to not use homing so they can freely knockback enemies
