Event Description[]
2016[]
"Most football players are temperamental. That’s 90% temper and 10% mental" - Doug Plank
It's that time of year for picking up the ol' pigskin, smashing into a group of men geared up in armour to spike the said pigskin into the end zone in celebration.
As the single biggest sports fan of the group, Jim the Lumberjack is beside himself with excitement for the major sports event in the Crusader calendar: The Carnage Cup.
Rounding up the fellow Crusaders he decides to throw a tailgate party ahead of the big game. Unfortunately for Jim, it all goes wrong very quickly and soon the Crusaders have to destroy swathes of monsters before he and team can enjoy the sporting festivities.
2017[]
Put on your cleats, Crusaders! It's time for the Carnage Cup: the most violent, the most painful, and by the far the most exciting hand-egg ball competition in the whole universe! Recruit all four of the Carnage Cup Crusaders, including two brand new ones, as you throw, run, and kick your way to victory.
This event honours two more YouTube celebrities who have been producing awesome Crusaders videos back in 2015/2016. Again, just like MrBayEasy, you'll find Bensch and Brothgar as boss monsters within the game.
2018[]
The ultimate sport returns — it's time for another Carnage Cup! Grab your gear and head out to the stadium for another annual tailgate party. Let's see where it all leads us this time...
2019[]
Put on those cleats and pads, and maybe a mouth guard and helmet, too — the biggest event of the year in CrusaderSports™ is here: CARNAGE CUP 4!! This year's contenders are exciting to behold, perhaps none so than the newest Crusader to take to the field, a Half-Dwarf/Half-Orc powerhouse by the name of Nargulg Granitehand. Yes folks, you read that right: Granitehand. This guy has been training his whole life for a chance to compete in the most chaotic event in CrusaderSports™, and he's here to win.
It's time for The Big Game! Sure, some other games may be bigger, but we've got the trademark! Here to bowl you away are a super new Crusader and five challenging objectives. This event runs until February 5th at noon PST, when scandal will bring the games to a close.
2020[]
Team sports are one of our most ancient traditions' tests of skill and teamwork that push the players to reach new heights. Don't expect any of that nonsense in the Carnage Cup! Kick, shove, and claw your way through 5 cutthroat objectives to win a mad new Crusader, and fun new Skin. Good "luck"!
This event runs until February 4th, the absolute limit of mortal endurance.
2021[]
It's the most ELECTRIFYING event in CrusadersSports™ Entertainment, and it's back and bloodier than ever: the sixth-annual Carnage Cup is now officially underway!
This year's event brings the true star of the game because where would the team be without their mascot, Pascal, Highest Bidder Mascot, to hype up the fans and cheer them on.
Calling all athletes! It's time to hit the turf, and show these monsters how Crusaders play. The Carnage Cup is here once again, featuring a mysterious new Crusader, a sweet new skin, and 5 exciting objectives.
This event lasts until February 9th, when the monsters will be thoroughly humiliated.
2022[]
It's the most ELECTRIFYING event in CrusadersSports™ Entertainment, and it's back and bloodier than ever: the seventh-annual Carnage Cup is now officially underway!
Please line up at the starting line, the event is about to begin. This is a pentathlon of sorts, with five new objectives offering a chance to recruit and gear a flashy new Crusader with a tough exterior. On your marks... get set... go!
The race ends on on February 8th, at which point you'll celebrate briefly, before claiming your medal and heading home.
New Crusaders[]
Tier 1[]
Groklok the Orc[]
Groklok the Orc is a beast of a linebacker who's abilities include increasing the DPS of Crusaders in front of him by 150% among other abilities.
Drizzle the Dark Elf[]
Drizzle the Dark Elf is the nimble, tricky running-back. Drizzle enjoys a unique partnership with Groklok. Just like the best players, they can combine in various ways to maximize their tactics.
Playing Drizzle in front of Groklok will buff his formation ability by 100%. If Drizzle and Groklok play alongside each other, the combined skills buff Groklok's DPS by 400%. When Groklok is blocking and tackling in any column in front of Drizzle, Groklok's line gets a health buff and takes less damage.
Tier 2[]
Karl the Kicker[]
Karl the Kicker takes up the same slot as Natalie Dragon and has some cool abilities in his kit bag. At level 50 Split the Uprights divides your DPS evenly between the front-most and back-most enemies (if there's only one enemy, it will take full normal damage; if two, each takes 50% of total DPS).
Cindy the Cheer-Orc[]
Cindy the Cheer-Orc has some cool abilities hidden in her pom-poms. At level 50, she unlocks Top of the Pyramid which will buff other Crusaders' DPS up to 25% per slot based on how far away they are from Cindy. At level 400 her Practice Makes Perfect ability increases the effect of Top of the Pyramid based on the area you've reached by 10% (multiplicative) per 50 areas.
Tier 3[]
Griz the Robo-Coach[]
Griz the Robo-Coach is an aging, grizzled, robotic coach, who motivates everyone in front of him based on how far from him they are. Griz is also very old and may be slightly falling apart...
Tier 4[]
Nargulg Granitehand[]
Nargulg small for Orc. But Nargulg big for Dwarf.
Nargulg loves chaos! Nargulg loves fight!
Crusaders like murder. Crusaders like Carnage Cup.
Nargulg join Crusaders!
Nargulg win Carnage Cup!
Nargulg Granitehand is a Half-Dwarf/Half-Orc Crusader, who managed to draw all the anger and fury from both races into a single muscular body of destruction. He increases Click Damage for every Dwarf Crusader and Orc Crusader in the formation, with Nargulg counting twice because he's both!
Tier 5[]
Morrigan the Furious[]
Morrigan, the Furious is a no holds barred / take no prisoners / revenge is a dish best served cold-kind of Leprechaun DPS Crusader. She grows more powerful with each other Leprechaun in the formation with I'll Make My Own Team, and her Magic Mayhem further boosts her damage with an adjacent Magic Crusader on top of that!
Whenever she is Picking Fights or told she's Too Short to Ride she increases her DPS, and her Leprechaun Rage increases her Self DPS further for every 10 monsters killed while Morrigan is in the formation. At the same time, Go Long improves Morrigan's DPS for every 25 levels over (and including) level 200 with a stacking DPS multiplier.
Finally, Morrigan is Magically Enhanced, giving her debuff resistance (negative Formation abilities don't target her) and helping her to push through even the most challenging objectives.
Tier 6[]
Pascal, Highest Bidder Mascot[]
Who's the real MVP? Who's in the suit? No one knows, maybe it changes, but a great sense of humor is a requirement for donning the mascot mantle.
Pascal hypes the crowd and helps the formation, but since we never know who is in the suit, the buffs change dependent on Pascal's own tags.
When you're ready to add Pascal to your formations, you can find them in seat 36.
Tier 7[]
TUR7L3[]
"Ladies and gentlemen, make some noise for the half-time show!"
The lights dim, the music starts to play and a rainbow disco ball is lowered from the ceiling…and keeps getting lower. A few feet from the stage on the field, the ball drops out of the air and lands to reveal a turtle with sparkly scales.
"Get ready for a flava bomb," he cries into the mic and the field fills with dancers.
Unfortunately, the dancers are wearing fruit costumes, and some of them are watermelons. The turtle's eyes glow red and he jumps off the stage.
The half-time show ends up giving a new meaning to the Carnage Cup.
You and your fellows manage to escape the stadium. Just before you're going to portal away, Chef Casey coughs. "Can my new friend come?" she asks.
"New friend?"
She shuffles aside guiltily, revealing the sparkly turtle. "TUR7L3 didn't mean to do it….plus his skills would come in handy."
The turtle's eyes turn into hearts temporarily. "Please?"
There was definitely carnage in there…"Sure, why not," you reply.
TUR7L3 has joined the party.
