Defender's Forge

The Defender's Forge, or simply Forge is where players access their Item Box and Mana Bank and swap between heroes. It is not available during Combat Phases (excluding the Wandering Heart escort challenge).

Core Functions

Mana Bank

When a mob is killed it has a chance to drop a percentage of mana it took to spawn that mob. This mana can be deposited into the Forge for later use. With banked mana, you have the option to upgrade your gear using the mana as a currency. You can only deposit mana after the first wave of a level. Noted: You cannot withdraw mana after deposit.

Item Box

Main Article: Item Box

When an item drops, you have the option to equip it or store it in the Item Box. This Item Box is located within the Forge.

The Item Box's capacity is 220 items + 40 if you get an achievement, that's give you the possibility to fill up 22 pages of 12 items each. During a mission if you have filled the Item Box the icon to direct deposit will be removed. You can only sell to the bank in build phase, or at any time in the tavern.

If the Item Box is full when you finish a mission with a reward for completion, then the reward will still be given at no cost.

You can also create folders within your item box to sort your items. You may create up to six folders from the root, and nest folders up to five levels. Folder names must be at least three characters long. To move items into these folders all you need to do is create and name a folder and drag and drop the items into that folder. If you wish to return an item to the root of the item box just drag that item onto the blue arrow on the top of the folder menu.

Hero Swapping

One can swap between alternate heroes at the Forge during the Build Phase. This will enable the use of alternate character abilities and towers.

Notes

• The "#1 Hero" sign above the Forge is for the top player on the given mission's leaderboard.
  • If a map has more than one Forge on it, the game may falsely imply that the leaderboard is empty.
