King of the Hill Season 29 | New Seasonal Mutation: "Season of the Meganewbie"

KING OF THE HILL: SEASON 29

• Seasonal Mutation: "Season of the Meganewbie" •

In Season 27, we introduced "Seasonal Mutations"—significant changes to Despot’s Game that alter the game's perception for one season. Seasons last, on average, 3-4 weeks, and when the season ends, these changes are reverted.

"Season of Newbies" has ended! Now Newbies cost as usual again; their price no longer increases in modes with food.

Welcome to Season 29—"Season of the Meganewbie".

The Meganewbie is now stronger! Its health and damage have increased, and it has acquired a number of useful abilities:

• Newbie Summoning: Every 10 seconds, the Meganewbie summons smaller newbies!

• Shockwave: Every 6 seconds, the Meganewbie strikes the ground, creating a powerful shockwave;

• Domineering Gaze: There is a 30% chance that the enemy may be stunned when attacked by the Meganewbie.

• Game Mode Balances •

• The "Normal" mode has been made more challenging: more enemies will now appear in rooms on all floors, and the economy of the mode has become slightly less generous. This change is mainly aimed at new players – last year, we significantly simplified "Normal" when we released the "Director's Cut" version. We started receiving more complaints that the game was too easy. The challenge is back!
