The Summer Games have been besieged by evil once more, but maybe this year you can play for the other team. Maybe it's fun being evil?

The following Crusaders will get a buff this weekend starting from today until 12 pm PDT on Monday August 28th.

• Veronica, the Android Archer - Precise Aim ability +200%
• Sasha, the Fierce Warrior - Bulwark ability +200%
• Bubba, the Swimming Orc - Synchronized Swimmming +200%
• Fire Phoenix - All DPS +200%
• Merci, the Mad Wizard - Deflect Evil ability +200%

Also, check out the limited-time Evil Jeweled Chests that contain equipment for the five Crusaders above!

(Please note: The chest will only contain gear for Veronica and Bubba if you've unlocked them. You can purchase the Golden Epic for Bubba, even if you don't have him, and it will show up on him once you earn him.)

The Crusaders of the Lost Idols Summer Games were so popular we've decided to hold them again this year... and every year. Unfortunately, that means Dr Evil gets a chance to sabotage the event every year too!

Dr. Evil's Summer Sabotage event runs from today through to September 5th at Noon PDT. For those players who haven't unlocked them already, this is your chance to add both Veronica and Bubba to your roster.

Two new Tier 2 Crusaders, The Goldhound and Milgrid, the Mining Mage, will be available to recruit after you've completed all the Tier 1 objectives and if you have the talent "Doing it Again" purchased.

New Crusader: The Goldhound.


At level 100, The Goldhound unlocks Gold Nose gives you +10% Gold Find for each monster killed, up to a cap of 200%. Plus he has gear to augment it!

At level 400, The Goldhound unlocks Tail Wag gives you +100% Gold Find for the first 15 seconds in each area.

The second new Tier 2 Crusader is Milgrid, the Mining Mage.

New Crusader: Milgrid, the Mining Mage.


Once recruited, Milgrid unlocks We've Got To Go Deeper at level 100, which will increase your DPS for all Crusaders +25% for every 50 areas you've completed.

At level 400, her ability Deepest Mining will give We've Got To Go Deeper a 100% boost!

Once you've recruited both The Goldhound and Milgrid, there are three new side objectives to tackle in your quest.

New Objective: The Great Heist.

In The Great Heist, two of Dr. Evil's masked robbers join your formation and nab quest item drops for themselves until you beat area 400.

New Objective: Gold Medal In Evil.

In the objective Gold Medal In Evil, Dr. Evil slowly replaces your formation with not-very-convincing clones of your Crusaders, each of which take up a slot and causes your global DPS to drop by 50% multiplicatively. A new clone appears in your formation every 50 areas.

New Objective: Dr. Evil Unleashed.

The final new objective is Dr. Evil Unleashed. A super powerful Dr. Evil robot spawns randomly. It attacks via a ranged laser cannon. It heals itself and all monsters and takes reduced damage.

Equipment for all the Crusaders can be found in Silver and Jeweled Games chests.

Once again, you'll have until September 5th at Noon PDT to complete the event.

Escape the Summer heat by taking a trip up into the mountains. Swim in a cool glacial lake or enjoy a fresh mountain breeze. Actually, this all sounds pretty good. AFK.

The following Crusaders will get a buff this weekend starting from today until 12 pm PDT on Monday July 7th.

• Jim the Lumberjack - Sharpen Party ability +200%
• Ranger Rayna - Friend of Nature ability +400%
• Natalie Dragon - All DPS +200%
• Gold Panda - All Gold Find +200%
• Littlefoot - Growing Up ability +200%

Also, check out the limited-time Peak Jeweled Chests that contain equipment for the five Crusaders above!

(Please note: The chest will only contain gear for Rayna and Littlefoot if you've unlocked them. If you are missing Rayna, you can purchase Rayna's Golden Epic, and it will be available on her once you unlock her.)
