Dungeon Defenders - News - Patch 10.3.0 + Warden DLC

Good evening, Defenders! Today, Etheria gets a bit more cybernetic. Patch 10.3.0 introduces the Warden hero, Tinkerer's Workshop and Challenge: Workshop Assault missions, gearpunk inspired weapons and pets, and more!

New Hero: The Warden

An ancient forest spirit seeking tranquillity, the Warden joins the battle against the Old One's army. While at first glance she might look peaceful, if you get on her bad side you'll be in for a world of hurt. With powerful nature abilities, she tries to protect even the smallest of critters from harm.

Protect the Eternia Crystals with these all new defenses:

Angry Blossom - Shoots out a piercing projectile that explodes on the second enemy it hits.
Sludge Launcher - Launches exploding poison balls with splash damage. Enemies hit will be slowed down and stripped of their elemental resistance.
Cloud Tower - Fires a bouncing lightning that hits up to 5 enemies.
Wisp Den - A powerful embodiment of nature that shoots up to 10 enemies at the same time.
Shroom Pit - Shoots a Shroom Boy at targets, leaving a pool of mushrooms on the enemy, which deals AoE damage and makes other enemies in range take increased damage.

And these powerful abilities:

Wrath - Increases speed and defences power, restores health, and adds fire damage to the Warden's pet attacks!
Forest's Protection - Gives nearby allies a shield and removes enemies elemental resistances

The Warden hero is available to recruit now, and defenders can take advantage of 10% launch discount until September 2nd:
