Halloween Invasion

"The Halloween Invasion is here! We must defend the realm! But we have limited time..."

Invasion Events was a new feature added in game version 1.44 which was released on June 28, 2020. The fourth Invasion Event was called "Halloween Invasion". The event commenced on October 29, 2020 and concluded on November 12, 2020. The event was repeated from October 22, 2021 to November 5, 2021 with different Enemy Power level modifiers and rewards. The event was held for a third time from October 19, 2022 to November 2, 2022. On this run of the Invasion Event, a slight change was introduced to the Energy requirements for playing the three different Difficulty modes. With this event, we saw a departure from the uniform 15 Energy requirement to 10, 15 and 20 for Easy, Hard and Crazy modes respectively. The event was held for a fourth time from October 24, 2023 to November 6, 2023. A player needed at least 180 Stars to participate in the event.

"Halloween Invasion" presents three Difficulty modes: Easy, Hard, and Crazy. The Difficulty of play is achieved from the ratcheting up of Enemy Power from the standard game play. The number and variety of enemies remains the same across all three Difficulty modes. In total, there are 16 levels on the map, culminating with a Boss level as the final one. Like the first and second Invasion Events, the Boss level of "Halloween Invasion" does not in fact contain a Boss.

Unlike previous Invasions, "Halloween Invasion", as the name suggests, is appropriately themed with the introduction of some familiar foes with pumpkin adorned heads. Jack o'lanterns, ghost scarecrows, séance candles and witches' cauldrons are also scattered around the level maps. "Halloween Invasion" was the first Invasion Event to feature a new Card, in this case, Pumpkin Bomb.

There are a combination of Cards, Gems and/or Energy, but not necessarily all three, rewarded for winning each level. The Card offerings, amount of Gems or Energy for completing the levels are predefined and are the same for all players.

Each of the levels requires 15 Energy to play. "Halloween Invasion" was the first Invasion Event to allow a player to watch video ads in order to replenish their Energy bank. Specifically, the player was allowed to watch three ads a day, with 15 Energy awarded per ad.

The Event has a finite duration of 15 days. The player is at liberty to play the Difficulty modes in any order that they desire. However, the levels within a mode have to be attempted in a sequential order. But, a player can move onto the next available level even if s/he completes the current level with just one Fleur-de-lis.

Beyond the level rewards, there are also significantly better Card rewards for unlocking various stages of the event. These stages are determined by collecting a specified number of Fleurs-de-lis. These are earned from completion of the levels. A maximum of three Fleurs-de-lis can be obtained from completing each of the levels. One Fleur-de-lis is awarded for winning with less than 50% lives left, two for more than 50% but less than 100% lives left, and a maximum of three Fleurs-de-lis for finishing with all lives intact.

The stage or cumulative Card rewards are the same for all players. These rewards are as follows:
