A Diver arrives in the world of magic?! 🐟
Harpoons, sushi, and perilous underwater adventures—what kind of surprises await this time? ~
New Set & Relics
New Set: Dave — starts with the unique weapon TripleGun and comes equipped with the new spells Triple Projectile and Harpoon.
When using the Diver Dave set, you’ll always enter the crossover stage and encounter the underwater bosses. After clearing the crossover stage for the first time, there’s also a chance to meet them again while using other sets!
TripleGun: A specially designed underwater firearm that fires three evenly spread bullets with each shot.
Triple Projectile: Fires three evenly spread bullets. Hitting enemies 30 times will charge up one Fishing Harpoon.
Harpoon: Dave’s signature weapon. Tap Space to fire a single harpoon, or hold Space to charge up and unleash all stored harpoons at once for massive damage!
New Relic Series: Harpoon Tips
Enhanced Harpoon Tip: Harpoon damage +15%.
Poison Harpoon Tip: Hitting an enemy with a harpoon applies 2 stacks of Poison.
Lightning Harpoon Tip: When a harpoon hits an enemy, 40% of its damage is transmitted to enemies within a 5-meter radius, up to 3 times.
Ice Harpoon Tip: Hitting an enemy with a harpoon freezes the target for 2 seconds.
Flame Harpoon Tip: Harpoon damage +40%. Hitting an enemy with a harpoon causes them to take damage equal to 4% of their max HP per second for 2 seconds (0.4% for bosses).
Extended Harpoon Tip: Increases harpoon capacity by +2.
When using the DAVE THE DIVER Set, opening a chest grants 1 random enhanced Harpoon Tip. After upgrading, there’s also a chance to obtain an additional one — don’t miss any treasure chest on your journey!
New Boss Creature
New Chapter I Boss: Giant Squid
An abnormally large squid — soft-bodied but razor-toothed. It’s said to have a strong ammonium flavor and is completely inedible.
New Chapter IV Boss: Truck Hermit Crab
A gigantic hermit crab that dwells in the Blue Hole. It lives inside a scrapped truck thrown into the sea and only comes out at night.
New Chapter V Boss: John Watson
Said to be a former Navy SEAL, he now operates within the Blue Hole as the leader of the violent organization Sea Blue.
New Room Scenes
On your journey, you’ll encounter Dave’s old friend Bancho and discover powerful spells within the Sea People’s dwelling, uncovering the truth behind the adventure.
New Scene Added: Bancho Sushi Restaurant (Spring)
New Scene Added: Sea People’s Dwelling (Store & Reforge)
Halloween Costume
The warm glow of greenish candles replaces the campfire’s light — the world of Magicraft is about to welcome its most “bewitching” season!
The familiar home camp has taken on a whole new look: pumpkin lanterns and Halloween candies are scattered everywhere, eerie tree shadows entangle cobwebs, and all your NPC companions have eagerly changed into their festive costumes!
