We gotta go back, back, back to school again! But it's no high school musical. It's time for classes, homework and demons as we play through the
Sasha's Schoolhouse Scourge event, 2017 edition!
The teachers and students have fallen victim to possession once again, and it's up to you and your intrepid Crusaders to save the day. If you haven't recruited them yet, now is you chance to
add Karen and Mr. Boggins to your roster!
Two new Tier 2 Crusaders, Willy the Weregoat and The Exchange Student will be available to recruit after you've completed all the Tier 1 objectives (you may need to wait for enough event currency to do that) and if you have the talent "Doing it Again" purchased.
The first new Crusader is Willy the Weregoat, who stamps his hooves into place as he swaps with the Princess. Don't let him near any paperwork, unless you don't want it anymore. He really likes the taste. But he'll play nice and buff your Crusaders!
New Crusader: Willy the Weregoat
At level 50, Willy the Weregoat unlocks
Reciprocation, which buffs adjacent Crusaders DPS by 10% per formation ability affecting Willy. The bonus is additive.
At level 400, Willy unlocks
Play Nicest, which buffs Reciprocation by 100%, which means you get a 20% bonus per buff.
The second new Tier 2 Crusader is The Exchange Student. As a new student, she's easy to free from the demonic influence and join your adventures, swapping with Thalia the Thunder King. She's shy but confident, which makes for an interesting combination.
New Crusader: The Exchange Student
Once recruited, The Exchange Student unlocks
Lightning Drake at level 50, which allows you to use Storm Rider.
At level 150, The Exchange Student gets the upgrade
Class President, which buffs the DPS of the Crusaders in the column behind her by 50% of your current Storm Rider buff.
Once you've recruited both Willy and The Exchange Student, there are three new side objectives to tackle in your quest.
New Objective: Class Garden
In
Class Garden, Arnie has forgotten to water the cacti and now the dehydrated plants want revenge. For every 10 you kill, a raging cactus will spawn to avenge his fallen comrades, and you'll have to fight them off until you beat area 400.
New Objective: Class Pets
In
Class Pets, you need to escort the class hamster, turtle and snake to area 450, while they take up spots in your formation and change positions every 50 areas.
New Objective: Class Dismissed
In
Class Dismissed, school is out and so are your Crusaders. Every 50 areas an entire bench slot gets dismissed and is no longer available to use, as you head to area 500 in this objective.
Equipment for all the Crusaders can be found in Silver and Jeweled Educational chests, but tier 2 Crusaders gear will only be unlocked once you've recruited them.
You'll have until September 26th at Noon PDT to complete the event.
