Rules

Wave-type PvE Mode

The Halloween Event "Junkenstein's Revenge" is a wave-type PvE mode. In this mode, the team must work together to defeat waves of regular enemies and bosses that periodically attack.

Victory Condition: Defeat all enemies in every wave

Conditions for victory is to defeat all the enemies in every wave. If the team can defeat the large number of regular enemies and bosses that come rushing in within the 8-minute time limit, it will be a victory for the players.

Role	Character

In the Halloween Event "Junkenstein's Revenge," there will be 4 characters from a total of 12 to battle with. There are no specific requirements for the number of damage or support characters either.

Role: Passive Abilities

Role	Passive
	- When you kill an enemy, your reload speed and movement speed are increased by 25% for 2.5 seconds.

Recommended Party Composition

Character	Role
Cassidy	・Deals damage to all enemies ・Uses ULT to defeat bosses
Torbjörn	・Deals damage to weak enemies with Turret ・Blocks enemy positions with ULT
Baptiste	・Heals allies that Ana cannot fully heal ・Grants invincibility to allies on the brink of death
Ana	・Heals all allies ・Supports Cassidy in defeating bosses with ULT

Prioritize defeating bosses with Cassidy

Cassidy should focus on defeating enemies and charging her ULT. When the boss appears, use ULT to quickly defeat it. Cassidy's ULT, Deadeye, increases in power the longer it is focused on enemies and has no damage limit, making it effective against high-health bosses.

Torbjörn deals damage with Turret

Torbjörn should place his Turret on high ground to deal damage to all weak enemies. With the Turret attacking, allies can easily defeat enemies and defend the objective. Additionally, using ULT strategically at the boss's spawn location or where weak enemies gather can effectively deal damage and eliminate them in groups.

Ana enhances healing and Cassidy

Ana is best for focusing on enhancing healing for the entire team and boosting Cassidy's ULT with Nano Boost. Take a position where you get an entire view of the team, heal teammates with low health to charge your ULT, and enhance Cassidy's ULT to defeat the boss and eliminate enemies.

Baptiste prevents downs with invincibility

As Baptiste, support the entire team with healing and firepower while protecting teammates who are about to go down with Immortality Field. Take a safe high ground position and be careful not to let Ana go down. When a teammate is about to be defeated by enemy attacks, grant them invincibility with Immortality Field to prevent downs. This is crucial.

Strategy

Tips for Defeating the Reaper

Aim for Teleport to the Castle Gate

The Reaper always performs a Shadow Step to the castle gate at the beginning, providing a great opportunity to land attacks. Focus your abilities and main shots to steadily chip away at its HP.

Hit with ULT after Wraith Form

The Reaper periodically enters an invincible state with Wraith Form. Aim to use your ULT or abilities after the Wraith Form ends. There are no signs before the Wraith Form, but it is not used consecutively.

Safely deal with Cassidy's ULT by putting the Reaper to sleep with Ana

If you have Ana and Cassidy on your team, it's best to put Reaper to sleep with Ana's Dart and then finish it off with Cassidy's ULT. By putting the Reaper to sleep when it teleports to the castle gate and taking it down with Cassidy's ULT in one hit, you can minimize the damage.

Tips for Monster Strategy

Apply Healing Inhibition when the monster self-heals

When the monster self-heals with Take A Breather, use Ana to apply Healing Inhibition. The monster will have high durability, especially the bosses, and it will take more time to defeat when they regenerate.Therefore, it is recommended to time it and hinder them with Ana's Biotic Grenade during their healing.

Activate Deadeye outside the hook range

Point Deadeye and activate it in a position where the monster's hook cannot reach. The monster pulls nearby players with the hook, so if you use Deadeye near the monster, the Ultimate will be canceled by the hook and damage you.

Tips for Summoner Strategy

Shoot ULT after Photon Barrier is deployed

Summoner deploys Photon Barrier immediately after appearing, so observe the deployed position and then activate ULT. Cassidy, Soldier: 76, and Torbjörn's ULTs cannot penetrate enemy barriers and deal damage, so activate ULT to ensure maximum firepower without being blocked by enemy barriers.

Attack from a distance as Turrets are not deployed

Since Summoner does not use Sentry Turrets, it is recommended to attack from a distance. Use long-range attacks with the secondary fire, but keep in mind that the bullet speed is slow and it cannot be fired rapidly. Safely chip away at the enemy's HP from a distance.

Tips for Dr. Junkenstein's Revenge

Put Dr. Junkenstein to sleep with Ana

Dr. Junkenstein appears on the high ground in the back right and is stationary while he continuously shoots. Use Ana's Sleep Dart to put him to sleep. It is recommended to prevent him from attacking as he can continuously shoot high-damage bombs, which can lead to heavy damage.

Use Deadeye after the appearance of the Reaper

Dr. Junkenstein is the first to appear. Reaper follows after 15 seconds. Use Deadeye to take them both out. It is more effective to wait until both appear to use Deadeye in order to take them both down.

Tips for the Witch

Prioritize defeating the Witch

The Witch will appear and revive all previous bosses. Prioritize defeating the Witch as she is their healer. If left alone, she will only regenerate her health and regenerate her allies repeatedly.

Defeat Dr. Junkenstein simultaneously

Cassidy should climb to the high ground on the left and use Deadeye to defeat both the Witch and Dr. Junkenstein. Prioritize defeating the Witch first and then Dr. Junkenstein while defeating as many enemies as possible.

Differences between Normal Mode and Endless Mode

Compete with other teams based on the earned score

Endless Mode is a mode where the final goal is not to clear the game, but to compete with other teams on how much score you can earn before the end. The earned score can be viewed in a ranking format, so aim for the top and earn a high score.

Survive the 12 Waves

In Endless Mode, unlike Normal Mode, the Waves are divided, and you need to survive the 12 Waves. The Waves switch to the next one every minute, and your team needs to defeat multiple bosses within each Wave.

Endless Mode Challenge Missions

Bonus Waves start after Wave 12

After surviving the 12 Waves in Endless Mode, Bonus Waves begin as an opportunity to earn more score. There are a total of 5 Bonus Waves, with more intense appearances of regular enemies and bosses. If you can survive until the end, you can expect a high score.

Challenge Mission List

Vengeful Ghost

Vengeful Ghost	Performance
	・No HP, no damage taken ・Continuous damage when approached ・Always chasing at a constant speed

The Vengeful Ghost is a challenge where a ghost chases the player in the game. The ghost randomly targets one of the four players, but the targeted player can hear the ghost's laughter. Once the player hears the laughter, they must try to escape so allies don't take damage.

Frenzied Stampede

Frenzied Stampede is a challenge

Rampage of the Insane Crowd is a challenge where Zomnics move faster than usual. It is difficult to hit them due to their increased movement speed, and if you are dealing with bosses or shock tires, the castle gate may take damage. This makes it important to handle the fast-moving Zomnics quickly than in normal mode.

Volatile Zomnics

▲ Zomnic

Volatile Zomnics is a challenge where zomnics explode and deal damage on impact. Avoid characters like Genji or Tracer who need to get close and pick characters who can fight from a distance.

Three They Were

Three They Were is a challenge to clear the game with only three heroes instead of four. This makes tactical options limited. However, attack power is increased.

Mystery Swap

Mystery Swap is a challenge where the controlled character changes to a different character over time. The change is randomly selected from 12 characters that can be picked, but there is no situation where everyone is a damage character, and one person is chosen as support. Players who become support should not forget to provide support to their allies.

Shocking Surprise

▲Zonbaldia

Shocking Surprise is a challenge where defeating Zonbaldia spawns Shock Tires. The Shock Tires move quickly and produce a large number of them to damage the castle gate, so be careful not to miss any shots.
