Dark Castle Info

Getting Started
1

You can unlock keys to the Dark Castle by completing any elemental castle - you get a key each time you clear the last boss in Level 40, and additionally there’s a 1-time reward of a key (in addition to 1 random epic item and 150 gems) for the first time you clear each elemental castle.

To play a Dark Castle run, you need to select a team of 3 heroes, and it goes on until all 3 heroes die. Unlike a regular castle where you play floor by floor (and can take a break, change load outs etc before starting the next floor) in the dark castle you keep going until all three of your heroes die, making it technically endless.

Rewards for playing Dark Castle

  1. The loot in Dark Castle is similar to castles, however the drop rates are lower. Shards for any Hero you have unlocked can drop.
  2. The main rewards are in the leaderboard, which runs its seasons on the same timer as the battlepass, so they start and end on the same day For example, the winner gets A badge, 100k coins, 8-10 Summon Keys, 8-10 Gold Keys, and 1-3 Epic items.

Dark Castle Features

  1. Any Hidden Treasures found in castles can be found in the Dark Castle, there is also a starting room that had a Hidden Treasure as well.
  2. At floor 200, you face off against a evil clone, and once beaten will drop the “Evil Clone” costume for Mr Autofire. The costume is mythical, and grants +10 attack +25 health and +1% Player XP
  3. After floor 200, the game becomes a 1 hit kill to all enemy attacks (ranged or melee)
  4. Rooms ending in 4 and 9 are Dark Castle layouts. Other rooms (including boss rooms excluding the above special rooms) are regular castle layouts

Some tips to get the best out of your keys:

  1. If you are buying the BP or SBP, wait till you unlock all of the bonuses that affect gameplay, ie attack damage and attack speed.
  2. If you are close to fusing/levelling up your equipment or heroes, do that first
  3. Dark Castle leaderboards are first-come-first-served and are not tiered like most event leaderboards. So joining close to the end of the season might get you an easy leaderboard and better rewards. But be aware that many players employ this strategy.
  4. Loadout recommendations:
    4.1. Weapon: I would recommend Auto Handgun or Plasma Cannon for F2P and Gemini or Devastator for P2W.
    4.2. Armor: Emergency Shell if you have it, else Ninja Garb or the NecroShield Suit. If your stats are low you might be better off with the Ninja garb.
    4.3. Gear: If you have premium gear, use Camo Cloak on the left and Shield Generator on the right. If using regular gear, use whatever you regularly use.
    4.4 Gloves/Boots: if you have premium gloves and boots, I recommend Neurolink Gloves, and either Titan Boots, or Winged Sandals. If not then I suggest Combat gloves and either of the boots.
