Greetings, Defenders! This weekend we'll be recapping all of our Hero Focus events! It's a mashup!

From Friday to Monday, all Hero Focus Weapons will have 3x the drop rate, and Legendaries will have their drop rates doubled. If you haven't tried any of the new Hero Focuses, now is the time! We want to see what you come up with!

This event will run from Friday 1 PM EDT to Monday 11 AM EDT. Hero Focus weapons will drop on all maps in Free Play and End Game modes. 

Have fun this weekend, Defenders! May the RNG gods smile upon you!

errrm, what is a hero focus weapon ?

It is a special weapon that only it has a certain passive on it. For example, Splody Harpoon only appears on a Legendary Squire's Sword, Frost Fire only appears on the Ice Staff for Apprentice and so on :)

huntress phoenix bow, purge evil monk staff, frost fire mage staff, not sure which one is the squire's (he has like three passives for his sword).

Squire's is the Splody Harpoon.

I'm not sure what's happening in my game, but all the legendary drops I've been getting (minus the passive specific drops: Chilling Touch, etc.) have been dropping with none of the new hero passives. No blockade HP passive, no Frost passives...etc...etc. Please look into this. I have been farming NM3 for well over 12 hours this weekend already, and only the Mythic, Rare, and Commons are getting the passives.

So it started Friday 1pm as in Yesterday? Or next week ?i'm a little confused as to when it starts

Seeing as they always post these blog posts when the event talked about is already going i think it is more than safe to assume it is this weekend not next.

So maybe I can replace some of my 240- equipment you neutered to < 1% passives with Alpha drop (and werent supposed to), with lower scalars on that now and horrible physical and magical resist hero nerfs I don't feel like a builder or hero, may skip the whole thing.

All fine and dandy getting the weapon, but 9 times out of 10 they drop with hideous stats, so unless you can build Onslaught and have the time to run it until it starts dropping reasonable IPWR then you may as well not waste your time. Until Trendy get over leaving it all to random chance the game will only be "fun" for people with far too much time on their hands to play games.

Even when you do get the weapon and miraculously it has DP on it too the only ones actually usable are Pure Evil and Frosty Fire, no-one can use Squire towers since Buff Aura is ***e and Frosty fire doesn't boost towers any more and Phoenix call is just point;less as the chances the phoenix actually hitting anything is next to zero, just pretty effect, now if it flew along the lane that would actually be worthwhile.

TBH I think you messed up drop rates at some point. I played all weekend, on NM on Freeplay and found legendarys at the usual rate I find them during the weekdays. This X2 or X3 for this weekend feels as though it was failed to be implemented as I found literally not a single weapon in NM3, NM2, or NM1 even though I was grinding all weekend for that godamn monk staff. I'd take a look at your drop tables and make sure when you adjusted the drop rates for the event you didn't lower them even further. Drops have been kinda wonky since the first X2 legendary weekend TBH.
