Completing the event alone can be difficult, especially when playing solo. A team of three players with Rogue, Bard, and Priest classes makes the campaign much easier. This guide covers the recommended team setup, boss strategies, useful items, all 11 achievement requirements, and the Dullahan race’s abilities.
Best Team Composition for the Halloween Event
Before entering the Halloween campaign, it is recommended to form a team with three different roles. Each class has a specific job, and combining their abilities makes the boss encounters easier to manage.
The recommended team consists of:
-
Rogue: The main damage dealer. Rogue is responsible for eliminating enemies and dealing heavy damage to bosses.
-
Bard: The support character. Bard provides buffs, increases the team’s damage output, and helps everyone survive through longer encounters.
-
Priest: The healer and secondary support. Priest keeps the team alive, provides additional damage buffs, and can help control enemies.
This combination works well because Rogue provides the damage needed to finish encounters, while Bard and Priest keep the team supported.
You can technically complete the event solo, but it requires more time and careful resource management. A trio is generally the more reliable option, particularly for players who are still learning the boss mechanics.
Recommended Equipment for Each Class
Equipment plays an important role in this Halloween campaign. Rogue and Priest should receive priority when distributing stronger equipment because they have important jobs during boss fights.
Bard can use whatever suitable equipment is available, as its primary responsibility is supporting the other two players. You do not need to obtain every recommended item before starting, but having the right equipment will make the campaign significantly easier.
Some useful preparation tips include:
-
Prioritize stronger equipment for Rogue and Priest.
-
Give Bard available equipment that improves its support capabilities.
-
Collect suitable charms whenever possible.
-
Visit at least two shops during the campaign to increase your chances of finding useful equipment.
-
Save enough money for health potions before reaching the final boss.
The equipment available in shops can vary, so you should avoid spending all your money immediately. Having enough healing items later is more important than purchasing unnecessary upgrades early in the run.
Best Encounters to Choose During the Campaign
The Halloween campaign does not require you to find a large number of specific encounters. Most of your preparation can be completed through scavenging and visiting shops.
However, there is one encounter you should prioritize: Costume Party. This encounter allows you to participate in the scavenger outfit voting activity, which is required to obtain the Dark Shroud for Rogue.
Other than that, focus on collecting useful resources and equipment. Visiting at least two shops is recommended, although you might find everything you need from fewer visits.
There is also a confirmed shop encounter near the sixth stage out of seven. Make sure you save enough money to purchase the equipment and healing items your team needs.
Most importantly, try to have at least six health potions before the final boss. This gives each player two potions, although having three per player is even better if your team has enough money.
How to Beat the Hallowed Street
Hallowed Street is the starting area of the Halloween campaign. Most encounters here are relatively easy, so you should use this section to collect resources and prepare your team for the upcoming bosses.
The main strategy revolves around Rogue’s Dark Shroud, Bard’s buffs, and Priest’s healing abilities.
Rogue Strategy
Once Rogue obtains Dark Shroud, use Umbral Shroud on the first turn whenever possible. This changes your damage into Force damage, allowing you to eliminate the ghosts more efficiently.
Focus on killing the ghosts first before dealing with other enemies. Getting rid of them early makes the encounters easier to control.
Bard Strategy
Bard should use Revelry whenever possible and maintain the buff throughout the encounter. This helps prevent teammates from losing too much health and makes the entire run safer.
You can also save additional support abilities for situations where Rogue needs more energy to deal damage.
Priest Strategy
Priest should focus on Holy Imbue and healing teammates whenever their health gets low. With Bard providing buffs and Priest handling healing, your team should have no major problems surviving the starting encounters.
You can also eat Pumpkin Flesh before entering another fight if your health is not completely restored.
How to Beat the First Boss: Argus
Argus is the first major boss in the Halloween campaign. Compared to the later encounters, this fight is relatively straightforward and should not require complicated teamwork.
Rogue acts as the primary damage dealer, while Bard and Priest provide support.
Rogue Strategy
Start the fight by activating Umbral Shroud on the first turn. After that, use your preparation abilities to build up your damage.
By the third turn, you should have enough setup to use your main damage abilities. Bard can help by providing Inspiration, allowing Rogue to gain the energy needed for stronger attacks.
Bard Strategy
Bard can use Inspiration to support Rogue and increase the team’s damage potential. Vicious Mockery is another useful ability because it makes Argus take additional damage.
Priest Strategy
Priest should focus on keeping everyone healthy throughout the encounter. Use healing abilities whenever teammates lose too much health.
One important recommendation is to eliminate the Calling enemies before focusing entirely on Argus. Their area-of-effect attack can become annoying if they remain alive for too long.
Once Argus is defeated, your team receives a full heal, making it easier to continue the campaign.
How to Beat the Second Boss: Gordfire
Gordfire is an optional boss, but defeating it is strongly recommended if you want to complete the campaign with the best possible equipment.
This encounter rewards your team with stronger weapons, which can make the remaining bosses much easier. Skipping Gordfire might save some time, but you will lose access to an important equipment upgrade.
Rogue Strategy
Unlike the previous boss, you should not immediately use Umbral Shroud on the first turn. Instead, begin with High Noon followed by Scatter Shot.
This combination helps eliminate the smaller enemies before they become a problem. Once the minions are defeated, activate Umbral Shroud and use your preparation abilities.
After building up your damage, Bard can provide Inspiration to help Rogue use Lay Them Low more quickly.
The recommended Rogue rotation is:
-
Use High Noon.
-
Follow up with Scatter Shot to eliminate the minions.
-
Activate Umbral Shroud.
-
Use your preparation ability to build up damage.
-
Ask Bard for Inspiration.
-
Use Lay Them Low against Gordfire.
Bard Strategy
Bard should focus on keeping the team alive while helping Rogue complete the damage setup. Inspiration is particularly useful because it allows Rogue to reach the required energy for stronger attacks faster.
Priest Strategy
Priest should maintain healing and support abilities throughout the fight. Make sure your teammates do not lose too much health while Rogue focuses on eliminating the enemies.
You should also consider blocking when Gordfire is preparing his area-of-effect attack. This can prevent unnecessary damage to the entire team.
Defeating Gordfire gives your team new weapons, making it one of the most valuable encounters in the campaign.
How to Beat the Third Boss
The third boss follows a similar strategy to the previous pumpkin-themed encounter. Your main objective is to eliminate the smaller enemies while building enough damage to defeat the boss.
Rogue should once again use Umbral Shroud and prepare for a powerful Lay Them Low attack.
Rogue Strategy
Start by activating Umbral Shroud, followed by your preparation abilities. Once your damage is ready, use Scatter Shot if you need to eliminate the minions.
If the smaller enemies are already under control, focus your damage directly on the boss with Lay Them Low.
Avoid using Scatter Shot without completing your damage setup first. Doing so can waste your attack potential and make the encounter take longer.
Bard Strategy
Bard should continue supporting the team with buffs and healing assistance. If Rogue needs additional energy, use Inspiration to help complete the damage rotation.
Priest Strategy
Priest has an additional way to help during this encounter. You can use the Pebble ability and then activate Rubble Rouse to redirect the boss’s attention toward the Pebble.
This helps prevent the boss from attacking other teammates, giving Rogue and Bard more opportunities to deal damage.
Make sure the correct ability is used after summoning the Pebble. Otherwise, the boss may continue attacking your team as usual.
How to Beat the Final Boss
The final boss is the most demanding encounter in the Halloween campaign. Unlike the previous fights, this battle is heavily focused on damage output and resource management.
You need to defeat the boss before your team runs out of health. Having enough health potions and eliminating the summoned enemies quickly are essential for winning.
Before entering the fight, you will have access to a shop and a full heal. Sell unnecessary equipment and spend your remaining money on health potions. Ideally, every player should carry at least two potions. Having three per person gives your team more room for mistakes.
Understand the Final Boss’s Attacks
The final boss has several abilities depending on its energy level.
-
At zero to one energy, it uses a single-target attack that can inflict Mortal Wounds.
-
Poison Volley attacks the entire team and applies additional debuffs.
-
At two energy, it can unleash a powerful area-of-effect attack that hits everyone and applies Mortal Wounds, Doom, and Fear.
-
On every other two-energy action, the boss summons additional minions.
The summoned enemies are particularly dangerous because they can deal significant extra damage. You should eliminate them as soon as they appear instead of allowing them to attack your team for several turns.
Rogue Strategy
Rogue should focus on dealing as much damage as possible while helping eliminate the summoned enemies.
Use Umbral Shroud and your preparation abilities to set up Lay Them Low. If you obtained the stronger weapon from Gordfire, this attack should deal considerably more damage.
Scatter Shot is useful whenever the boss summons additional enemies. Clear them quickly before returning your attention to the main target.
Bard Strategy
Bard should support Rogue with Inspiration and other damage buffs. Serenade can also help make the final boss more vulnerable, allowing Rogue to deal even more damage.
Remember to maintain your defensive support as well. The final encounter can last many turns, so keeping the team alive is just as important as increasing damage.
Priest Strategy
Priest should summon Potential Bunny to help Rogue and Bard eliminate the smaller enemies. This additional damage makes it easier to control the battlefield.
You can also use Alchemist Infusion to increase Rogue’s Force damage, making Lay Them Low even more effective.
Keep healing abilities available, but pay attention to Mortal Wounds before using health potions.
Important: Do Not Use Health Potions While Affected by Mortal Wounds
Mortal Wounds reduces the effectiveness of healing, meaning your health potions will restore only half of their normal healing value.
Always check whether a teammate has this debuff before using a potion. Coordinate with Priest to avoid wasting healing abilities while the effect is active.
You should also consider blocking if your health is dangerously low and the boss is preparing its powerful area-of-effect attack. Otherwise, maintaining damage output and eliminating minions should remain your priority.
Once the boss is defeated, you will have completed the main Halloween campaign. However, defeating all four bosses does not automatically unlock the Dullahan race.
How to Unlock the Dullahan Race
The Dullahan race requires players to complete 11 achievements connected to the Halloween event. Simply defeating all four bosses only completes part of the requirements.
You will need to finish the remaining achievements separately before the race becomes available.
Most of these achievements can be completed solo, so you do not necessarily need a full team for every challenge. Rogue is a useful choice for completing many of the objectives quickly.
One achievement that may cause trouble is the Haunted House challenge. This objective requires you to deal with three ghosts, which can be difficult to defeat alone.
The other achievements are generally more manageable and can be completed through individual challenges. According to the provided guide, most of them can be finished in around 40 minutes when using Rogue.
The 11 achievements are separate from the main boss progression, so make sure you check your achievement list and complete every missing requirement.
Note: The source information does not provide the exact names or full descriptions of all 11 achievements. Check the in-game achievement menu for their specific objectives rather than relying on an incomplete list.
Dullahan Race Abilities and Stats
After completing all 11 achievements, you can unlock the Dullahan race. This race has several unique characteristics that make it different from the other available options.
Its main ability is Soul Snatch, which costs two energy and scales with Intelligence, Faith, and Charisma.
Soul Snatch applies Burn to enemies and inflicts Weaken Soul for two turns. This makes affected enemies take additional damage, giving Dullahan useful offensive potential.
Dullahan also has several passive bonuses and limitations:
-
Cannot equip helmets.
-
Receives 30% more base stats from charms.
-
Gains 20% more unique stats from charms.
-
Takes 0.9x Fire damage.
-
Takes 0.9x Dark damage.
Although the inability to equip helmets limits some equipment options, the increased stats from charms help compensate for this restriction.
The additional charm bonuses also make Dullahan an interesting option for players who want to experiment with different builds.
The An Average Campaign Halloween event offers plenty of challenges, from fighting four bosses to completing 11 achievements for the Dullahan race. While the campaign can be difficult when playing solo, using a Rogue, Bard, and Priest team makes the entire experience much easier.
Focus on collecting useful equipment, saving money for health potions, and defeating Gordfire to obtain stronger weapons. Once the main campaign is complete, finish the remaining achievements to unlock Dullahan and experiment with its unique Soul Snatch ability and charm bonuses.
