Skull Horde changes
It is time to feast upon the blood of your enemies! Welcome the Margrave to your roster - a blood sucking killer that heals on hit, and can even perform unholy blood transfusions...
Find new items in the dungeon to become the ultimate leeching lich! The Dark Pact and Bloody Fangs will enable all your units to heal through their attacks, while Bat will improve healing from all sources. Platelets will turn corpuscles into a healing engine, while Fatal Vigor will empower fully healed units to deal more damage. Summon the mighty Blood Golem through consistent overhealing...
Additionally, the Bodkin Tip will help your ranged units pierce through filthy flesh, while the Balanced Hilt will ensure your blows strike true.
You will need all the help you can get, because your foes have gathered their strongest champions for a final push to defeat you. The new Boss Rush level provides a tough challenge by making you fight through every boss in the game in one dungeon.
