Halloween Event 2023
Halloween Questline
In this year's Halloween Event, your quest giver will be a mysterious witch who dares you to a card duel! She will lead you through eerie dungeons and ghoulish puns.
This Halloween's questline will provide you with 35 rush quests, and then 21 additional quests, with one appearing each day.
How does the Halloween Event 2023 work?
A terrifying event with a new mechanism makes its appearance in Forge of Empires. To kick off this eerie event, you'll need to amass Teeth
from quests and incidents that pop up in your city.
Event window Overview
Within the event window, you will find several main elements to consider:
| 1. Teeth | The amount of teeth you have at the moment
|
| 2. Grand Prizes | Shows the amount of Advance needed to progress toward the next Reward. |
| 3. Daily special | Shows the Daily Special, which can be exchanged 1x per 24h. |
| 4. League | Tells you which leaque you are in at the moment. |
| 5. Progress | Shows you your progress  that you have at the moment and how much is needed for the next Grand Prize.
|
| 6. Chests | These are the chests that you can open by using keys. |
| 7. Keys | Next to the chests is the amount of keys  you have at the moment
|
| 8. Enter Dungeon | Here you can enter a dungeon by clicking and start a new minigame. |
| 9. Dungeon deck | Here you select your deck to enter a dungeon. |
Strategic Choices
If you open the event window on the top left corner of your screen, you will get into the creepy dungeons, where you can start this thrilling event.
When you open the event window to begin a new dungeon you must select your deck. Choose the best deck for your Dungeon to get a strategic advantage!
Selecting your deck
You can choose from preset decks, with each card representing either Vampires, Werewolves, Zombies. Each deck will also contain some cards of the other factions, as well as Witch Cards. Once you have picked a deck there is a cooldown period before you can pick that deck again, but you can always bypass this by paying some Event Currency
Your card has a range of damage it can do, plus each card has a bonus against a certain type of creature (except Witch cards!).
 Bonus attack against |
|---|
 Werewolves |
Taste bad to Vampires! (Bonus attack against Vampires) |
 Zombies |
Are resistant to Werewolf claws! (Bonus attack against Werewolves) |
 Vampires |
Are immune to becoming Zombies! (Bonus attack against Zombies) |
 Witches |
They play by their own rules! (No faction bonus. Also no other faction has a bonus against witches) |
The Dungeon
When you've gathered all your courage, click Enter to start an exciting new Dungeon.
There you will face 10 opponent cards, followed by a fearsome Boss Card. Defeat them all to win the Dungeon. During these battles you will have to defeat the opponent's cards to win and collect bronze 
, silver 
and golden keys 
.
If you defeat them all you will win the Dungeon. Beware: should your health fall to 0 you will fail and have to start again! But fear not - all is not lost should your health fade in combat! You can boost your health with health potions 
, which can be purchased in the Health Potions Shop.
Battle Mechanics
Your card has a range of damage it can do, plus each card has a bonus against a certain type (except Witch cards!). When you click 'Fight', you will deal damage to your enemy's health bar equivalent to the damage range of your selected card, plus any bonuses. For example, if your card does 4 to 6 damage, clicking 'Fight' will randomly select a value between 4 and 6, and deduct it from the enemy's health - plus any damage bonus from your card type! But the enemy will do the same, so check you have more health left than the maximum possible damage your enemy can inflict, or you could end up defeated!
Tip: Not sure you have enough health
to survive the battle? Top up with a potion or use an Ability Card!
Battle Mechanics overview
 Battle Mechanics overview |
|---|
 Battle |
Click the 'Fight' button to initiate combat. Check the card stats to see how much damage you can deal to your opponent, and how much they can do to you! Assessing your health wisely is crucial. You can redraw or purchase health points to enhance your success chances. |
 Redraw |
If your card is weak against your opponent, you can choose to redraw. You'll be presented with three random options from your deck to pick from - click the arrows to view your choices! You can redraw repeatedly, but each time costs more Event Currency Note: If you have Ability Cards in your deck, one of the three options will be an Ability Card, with the other two being regular cards.
|
 Health Potions |
Low on health? Buy a potion using Event Currency. But beware, there's an upper health limit.
|
 Rewards |
Each defeated enemy drops a key: bronze, silver or gold . These keys unlock chests on the main screen, advancing you towards the Grand Prize and potentially earning Daily rewards.
|
 Ability Cards |
These bonus cards provide unique and powerful boosts. Some enemies in the dungeon will have a card icon below in place of the usual chest - defeating these enemies rewards you with the Ability Card Shop Window. One card is free, but you can buy up to two more using Event Currency. The enemy cannot attack when you use Ability Cards. Unused ability cards following triumph over the boss will be transformed into golden keys
|
Tip: Your first chest of the day will be automatically doubled, so be sure to open at least one chest every day!
Tip: You'll defeat this enemy in one hit! But beware - they have a bonus against your card type, so you will take extra damage doing it! Will you risk it or gamble on redrawing a better card? Even different cards of the same type (e.g. two Werewolf type cards) may have different stats so pay close attention when picking your cards!
Dungeon Chest
Receive Bronze , Siver or Golden keys when you have defeated an opponent. In addition, you will receive a random prize from the Dungeon Chest when you have defeated the opponent's card. This Chest contains, among other amazing things: the Epic Halloween 2023 Selection Kit and precious Fragments of the Silver Laboratory of Monstrosities Upgrade Kit 
and Golden Laboratory of Monstrosities Upgrade Kit
