Event Description[]
2015[]
To put on the best Thanksgiving dinner ever, Kaine's brilliant scientist mother decided to apply her vast scientific knowledge to her culinary skills but didn't stop to think if she should! Now the Kaine mansion is awash with various foodstuffs intent on making the Crusaders choke on them. Or more to the point, choke the Crusaders to death! (In 2015 this Event ran one week later than planned due to design delays.)
2016[]
Detective Kaine's mother is at it again in Kaines' Dinner of Doom 2016. Her amazing Thanksgiving recipes are just too tempting, and things have gone awry again.
In Tier 2 you'll be facing a huge variety of debuffs to your party forcing your crusaders to endure fighting for quite a while. While you can solve the two recruit objectives by insta-killing, tank formations are vital for all three additional objectives.
2017[]
It's time for another tier 3 event, Crusaders! Kaines' Dinner of Doom is back with a vengeance, and this year you can unlock Chef Casey, a support Crusader with a randomized pot of tasty buffing stew! Also included are four other challenging new objectives, and all the other fun that tier 3 events updates bring! Enjoy!
2018[]
Doom. Dooooom! As the seasons turn from Autumn to Winter, Kaines' Dinner of Doom arrives once again!
Kaines' Dinner of Doom returns once more! Prepare for a five-course meal of new objectives, and a tasty new Crusader for dessert. Whether this is your turkey season or not, this feast is sure to delight your taste buds.
2019[]
Seasons leaves, wilting and falling,
now's the time: Momma Kaine's calling!
Cold, gray, dark, wet, and gloom,
The perfect time, for dinner of doom!
Dust off the old turkey, cause it's time for a feast! Tuck in to a batch of fresh new content as you reflect on the things you appreciate, and the things you rue. Take wine recommendations from a new Crusader for your 5-Objective meal, with a vegan-friendly skin for dessert.
This event runs until December 3rd, when all the food will have spoiled.
2020[]
No more Crusading on an empty stomach! Kaines' Dinner of Doom is back again, and you should plan on getting stuffed. Among the delightful spread you'll find 5 new objectives, a shocking new DPS Crusader, and a devilish new look for last year's star!
This event runs until December 1st, when the last of the leftovers run out.
2021[]
I hope you're hungry, for both a Thanksgiving feast AND for some new objectives, because we've got five of them for you. Objectives, that is, not feasts. Collect a sleepy new Crusader as well as another random level 7 Rune!
This event runs until November 30th, when someone finally finished off the pumpkin pie.
New Crusaders[]
Tier 1 Recruits[]
RoboTurkey[]
Carrying on with tradition, there are two new Crusaders that can join your crusade, once your adventurers survive the objectives. The first of the two, RoboTurkey, won't make it easy though as he debuffs the Crusaders around him in the new pie formation, decreasing their max health by 50%.
RoboTurkey shares a formation seat with Princess. His unique ability enables him to increase a random Crusader's DPS by 10% for 30 seconds by zapping them, while absorbing 25% of the DPS for himself.
Momma Kaine[]
Momma Kaine is the second of the two new Crusaders. However, separating her from her culinary experimentation and getting her clear of the mansion is going to be tough. As the Crusaders abduct her mid-experiment, she inadvertently freezes adjacent Crusaders every 10 seconds. The affected heroes will have their DPS reduced to 0 for 15 seconds, but thankfully their formation abilities are unharmed.
Momma Kaine, who shares a formation seat with Khouri, is a nurturing sort as well as being a brilliant scientist. She has a number of unique abilities. First, she heals the Crusaders furthest away from her by 20% per second. She also has a ranged power where she can slow the furthest monster from the Crusaders by 25%, perfect for taking down bosses. Finally, she synergizes with RoboTurkey by increasing the DPS of zapped Crusaders by a further 50%.
Tier 2[]

Paul the Pilgrim[]
The first of the two Crusaders is Paul the Pilgrim. He's an elf (because the Pilgrims were elves, okay) who shares a slot with Jason, Master of Shadows.
Petra the Pilgrim[]
Petra the Pilgrim is also an elf who also came over on the Mayflower and shares a slot with Merci.
Tier 3[]
Chef Casey[]

Chef Casey is a very enthusiastic chef....but don't ask her what her stew is really made of.
At level 50, you unlock her Stew ability, where Chef Casey will randomly add one of 2 veggies to her cauldron, Carrots which add Global DPS or Potatoes which add Gold find! At level 300, you unlock her Carnivore upgrade, which adds a choice of 2 meats to Casey's Stew line-up. At level 600, you can help Casey finish off her stew by buying the Spice it Up' upgrade, which adds 2 spices to her ingredient line-up.
Tier 4[]
43G1S[]
43G1S (also known as 'Aegis') is a Tank Crusader, ready and willing to add their skills to your formation. They'll absorb the damage of the Crusaders in the column in front of them. They'll charge up while the formation isn't under attack, and unleash his wrath on all monsters on screen once the monsters reach the formation. Plus, they've got a way with monsters, causing them to slow down and not reach your formation as quickly.
Tier 5[]
Gemthel the Gourmet[]
Gemthel the Gourmet brings additional support and healing to Slot 13. She uses Rock Sirloin to boost Global DPS, she shields Crusaders with Well Fed, and her Norog Spice adds increased potency to the formation, increasing the chance that Crusaders' chance-based abilities activate by 5%.
As you level Gemthel, you unlock additional Global DPS with Pheasant Under Glass, a 4x increase in DPS for every 25 levels over 200 with Refined Tastes, and projectile attacks to Crusaders in her column with Food Fight!. Make no mistake, this Royal Dwarven Lady is here to liven up your Dinner of Doom!
Tier 6[]
Momma's Monster[]
Here to join Momma Kaine, Momma's Monster is a dual entity orc DPS Crusader. Double the trouble, double the fun, double the DPS.
Once you've recruited Momma’s Monster you'll find the two of them buffing all even things. You'll find Momma’s Monster in seat 33.
Tier 7[]
Kaala Rigel[]
Blackness.
Slowly, as your eyes adjust to the surroundings, you notice a faint hint of light seemingly floating above the ground.
Curious, you move closer to the light source, but are puzzled at the cold mist enveloping your legs, and as you're bopped on the head by a stick of some sort.
Two more light sources have joined the faint glow and they illuminate a snout full of teeth.
"No further please," a feminine voice says and then the light vanishes again.
The stick on your head starts to warm up and memories of your comrades standing beside you as you fling items at monsters stream through your head.
"Oooh, throwing things is fun," she says, and you feel the stick removed from your head. "I will join you."
The blackness immediately lightens and you see your new friend asleep on a cloud with a bundle of bamboo nearby. Time for another magical adventure.
Kaala Rigel is a Support Crusader. When you want to add her to your formation, you can find her in slot 36.

Trim the Fat[]
Note: This can be done without projectile crusaders. Normal passive DPS is still applied to normal enemies as usual, and a splash damage crusader like Merci or Petra isn't needed. With the use of speed and double drop/kill crusaders, it is also unnecessary to tank the blobs, as the quest for an area is generally completed before the blobs reach the formation. Blobs reset on area transition.
