changedThe Evolution of a ThreatThe original Antoinette was a solid entry-level threat, dealing straightforward damage through her flame thrower. She was a great warmup, but for those of you who have mastered the basics and are craving a real challenge, we decided she needed a glow-up. Or rather, a corruption.
addedThe Evolution of a ThreatWe are introducing new variants of Antoinette designed specifically to test your teamwork even more.
changedNew Variants & EffectsPoison Antoinette: Deals poison damage, say the spells to heal. Easy peasy!
changedNew Variants & EffectsIce Antoinette: Reduces your movement speed, making you a sitting duck for faster creatures that appear (see next section)
changedNew Variants & EffectsThe Twins: Think you can handle one? Two now spawn in place of one, doubling the pressure.
addedNew Variants & EffectsThe 'Insanity': For the ultimate test, the final variant is random. This version pulls a random of the three status effects at once, adding more to the chaos.

The Evolution of a Threat

The original Antoinette was a solid entry-level threat, dealing straightforward damage through her flame thrower. She was a great warmup, but for those of you who have mastered the basics and are craving a real challenge, we decided she needed a glow-up. Or rather, a corruption.

We are introducing new variants of Antoinette designed specifically to test your teamwork even more.

New Variants & Effects

  • Blight Antoinette: Gets you infected, the room will eventually be filled with Blightwalkers from your fallen teammates. CHAOS!

  • Poison Antoinette: Deals poison damage, say the spells to heal. Easy peasy!

  • Ice Antoinette: Reduces your movement speed, making you a sitting duck for faster creatures that appear (see next section)

  • The Twins: Think you can handle one? Two now spawn in place of one, doubling the pressure.

  • The 'Insanity': For the ultimate test, the final variant is random. This version pulls a random of the three status effects at once, adding more to the chaos.

More monsters spawn too

And there's more, not only will you get the new variants, more Monsters will spawn in the chamber! Have fun dealing with two Meatgrinders! And much more! We won't reveal everything.

Where to Find Them

Don't worry, these upgraded ladies won't be haunting your casual strolls just yet. You'll find them exclusively in:

  • Challenge Mode

  • Endless Mode

Join our Discord community

Antoinette and her sisters are slated for our Final Release. But we're still testing her out (and we may yet make balance changes). If you'd like to be part of the test group, join our Discord community and take part in the development of Antoinette and more!
