Under The Dungeon - A new hero 11 years later

Hey Defenders, my name is Nolan, best known as (CG) Paimon at Chromatic. Im here to talk about some of the behind the scenes and philosophy of our revisit to the roster of Dungeon Defenders 1 and define a bit about who the elusive hermit is. To start, lets cover the why: It's been a long time since a new hero has emerged in the original Dungeon Defenders, so why now? Well, to put it simply; we are a bunch of Dungeon Defenders fans internally as well! After all this time the game continues to have a high player concurrency and active community. This considered, we wanted to help that wonderful community by breathing more life into the game with hopes that the community and the community-made content will continue to flourish. So let's look at the Hermit himself.

The Hermit

The Hermit is a solitary figure who roams the wilderness of Etheria, seeking enlightenment and wisdom. He has spent years studying the ancient tomes of magic and mastering the natural world's secrets. As a result, he has gained incredible powers over the elements and the creatures of the wild. Although he rarely interacts with others, the Hermit is respected and feared by all who know of him. The Hermit was intended to be a hero who could harness the forces of nature to protect their allies and vanquish enemies alike. When creating the hermit the goal was to bring viability and variety to the poison element within the game. Until the Hermit only a single tower utilized poison. Luckily this toxic defender brings three new poisonous surprises to the roster. The Hermit's Defenses are as follows:

Seed Bomb Tower Description Blasts enemies in a wide radius and poisons them. Enemies who are felled by this poison explode! 4 DU
Mushroom Spore Tower Description Launches poisonous spores at enemies, infecting them. Infected enemies spread the infection to other foes nearby. 6 DU
Forest Golem Description Possessing colossal health and attack power, this guardian of the forest passively heals nearby allies. 8 DU
Nature Pylon Description Greatly increases range and resistance of all nearby Defenses, &and increases speed and casting rate of nearby Heroes! 4 DU
Wall of Webs Description Damages and webs enemies that pass through it, &reducing their speed and resistances. 2 - 4 DU (Min and Max range)

The Hermit's Abilities are as follows:

Thorn Shot - Shoots 5 poisonous thorns in a spread pattern that pass through enemies!
Nature's Gift - Increases speed, restores health, and adds poison damage to the Hermit's attacks!

Revisiting Old Etheria

The popular Lifestream Hollow map returns in a new capacity to the realm of Etheria. Previously only available as a monsterfest / pvp map the reworked version will bring this magical forest to traditional campaign and a new ogre crush challenge. This update also brings a new fearsome foe out of the woodwork, the forest ogre. Known to only utilize melee attacks, the ogre is faster and stronger than his traditional counterpart.

When?

The Hermit update will be available tomorrow, June 28th. Wishlist the hero DLC below! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2470720/

Dungeon Defenders is a Tower Defense Action-RPG where you must save the land of Etheria from an Ancient Evil! Create a hero from one of four distinct classes to fight back wave after wave of enemies by summoning defenses and directly participating in the action-packed combat!
Customize and level your character, forge equipment, gather loot, collect pets and more! Take your hero through multiple difficulty modes and challenge/survival missions to earn more experience & even better treasure. Join your friends with 4-player online and local (splitscreen) co-op to plan your strategies together or compete in PvP Deathmatch.

Key Features

4-player Online and Local Co-Op - Team-up with up to 3 friends to defend cooperatively, with character classes that support each other’s strengths and weaknesses. Dynamically combine local (splitscreen) and online players and leave/join any time, so that the game’s always full.
Tower-Defense Meets Action-RPG - Choose your class, customize your character & equipment, strategically assemble your defenses, and participate directly in action-packed battle to preserve your castle against the invading horde!
4 Distinct Character Classes - Each character class has a different skill tree, set of towers, and even basic attacks! You can choose if you want to play stealthy, turn invisible, and plant traps behind enemy lines with the Huntress or go all out, block off choke points, and brutally beat your foes into submission with the Squire!
Loot and Level-Up - Grab the mounds of money and items that your defeated foes drop and trade them or store them for later use in your Item Box! Getting kills and completing waves earns you experience points, which can be used to upgrade your characters, skills, equipment, and towers on a per-statistic basis. Do you want to enhance Hit Points, Attack Rate, Damage, etc? The choice is yours... Store your massive overflow of money in the 'Mana Bank' and then spend it to improve your equipment or trade with other players. Proudly show off your best equipment in your own 'Adventurer’s Tavern', without fear of item theft!
Tons of Enemies and Huge Boss Fights - Over 100 simultaneous enemies will attempt to tear through your defenses and gigantic Boss Monsters will appear to rain down havoc upon everyone. Only by employing the most effective defensive strategies, teamwork, and strong characters will you defeat such devilish foes! Many enemy types run the gamut from big dumb Orcs swinging huge axes, to lithe Dark Elves that strike from the shadows, to crazy kamikaze goblins! Can you defeat the epic boss battles and collect the special loot while still defending your crystals?
Mission & Game Play Variety - Each level has a different visual setting, layout, enemy types, traps, and distinct surprises. To collect all the loot and reach the highest levels you must take your character through 4 difficulty modes, survival missions, challenge maps, and more! Some maps force you to have mobile defenses, guarding a crystal which warps around the map. Others have YOU attacking enemy encampments!
Collect and Trade Pets Online - A variety of pets exist to assist you in the land of Etheria, each with distinct behaviors. These pets can be leveled-up and customized to match your unique play-style. They can even be traded online with other players!
Secure Trading System - Afraid another player won't live up to their word? Use our secure trading system to trade your precious weapons, armor, and pets with other players online! Watch your name and fame spread online, as people seek out the best pet raisers or item forgers!
A Mountain of Stats - Every shot you take, kill you make, and defense you build is logged and recorded for posterity. Pore over the voluminous charts and graphs at the end of each session to analyze your team’s performance, quickly review your best statistics for each level, and compare your data online with other players to see who is the greatest hero of all. Furthermore, your Achievements are visible for all to see within your very own Adventurer’s Tavern, and the highest scores for each of your heroes are ranked on the worldwide leaderboards!
Dungeon Defenders Development Kit - Dungeon Defenders includes a free development kit where you can create and edit new Dungeon Defenders missions and more utilizing all of the existing Dungeon Defenders assets. Download and share these user created levels via Steam Workshop for an endless Dungeon Defenders experience!
