Dark Moon

Dark Moon is an event that ran from January 26 to February 6, 2017. Players defended Selemene's temple from waves of invaders, and earned special event points that could be traded for rewards.

Game mode

 * The game features a horde based PvE system, where waves of enemies come at you. Each round

Gameplay

 * Five players are put against waves of enemies which come out from four lanes.
 * These waves get progressively harder, with bosses and unique units with special abilities.
 * On death, a tombstone is left where the player died.
 * Respawn occurs when a living player right clicks on the tombstone, and channels resurrection for six seconds.
 * Alternatively, one can buyback for gold, but it has a very long cooldown.
 * The game ends if the ancient is destroyed, or all five players die.

Hero Available

 * Strength : Phoenix, Tiny, Treant Protector, Tusk, Underlord

 * Intelligent : Dark Seer, Disruptor, Techies, Winter Wyvern, Zeus

Tips

 * At the end of each round, every tower respawns. This means that, losing towers can be advantageous to success.
 * The fountain does not heal in this game mode, so regeneration is key to success.
 * There are three shrines in the base which should be used carefully as they are the only form of regeneration inside of the base.
 * The shrines themselves have a three hundred second cooldown, rather than the standard shrine cooldown.
 * At the end of each round, every players health and mana are brought to full, and everyone respawns.

Points

 * Information needed.

Acquisition

 * Points by playing.
 * Reach round 5 or higher to trigger daily bonus which multiplies your points from that match by 6 and gives a bonus 35,000 points.

Rewards

 * The reward system is based upon event points, which are earned by playing the game. Once a player has earned 35,000 event points, they can turn them in to spin the prize wheel. The rewards range from sets, to announcers, and the distribution of rewards is similar to the 'Rylai's Battle Blessing', with an event wheel which dictates your reward.
 * The extremely rare reward on the wheel is the 'Dark Moon Baby Roshan', which is an exclusive courier only available from this event.

Recycling

 * Recycling: Unopened Treasure Chests can be recycled for 20000 Dark Moon points. Items received from opened chests, however, cannot be recycled.

Lore
''For millennia, the warriors of the Nightsilver Woods have stood vigilant against vile forces intent on the advent of a Dark Moon, earning both title and divine charge in sacred defense of the Goddess Selemene. But now, as the night of the new moon falls, Selemene’s chosen lie helpless behind her temple walls, victims of an arcane slumber that has left the temple grounds undefended.'' ''With Selemene’s influence at its weakest, and twisted shades of the familiar creeping across her domain, the Moon Goddess beckons five new protectors to stand in the stead of her champions against the corruption of the Dark Moon Horde. Will you be one to answer the hallowed call?''
