Many levels within the Clockworks now feature 'Arsenal Stations' that allow you to change your gear or loadouts before facing the challenges of a level. So long as you have a wide variety of equipment, a difficult stratum with varying themes will be no match for your arsenal!

Additionally, energy reviving now comes coupled with a powerful energy blast that knocks back and damages monsters! There are four levels of energy blasts to discover that should all greatly aid any Knights who find themselves knocked out and surrounded by the terrible denizens of the Clockworks.

The Dark Harvest Festival is now being celebrated in Haven and will end on November 1st!

This annual event honors the mischievous Punkin King in order to ensure a healthy fall harvest. All Clockwork Tunnels-style levels like Power Complexes and Blast Chambers now have a chance of featuring special rooms inhabited by the Punkin King. Simply hop on the party pad and discover if the Punkin King has candy tokens or something else in store for you!

Remember, this event ends November 1st so collect all the candy you can and get those masks!

Deep within the Tier 3 clearance zone of the Clockworks, Spiral HQ has discovered a terminal containing elevators leading to what are being referred to as Shadow Lairs. Knights who have ventured within these strange new worlds have reported feeling a dreadful darkness enveloping them at every turn.

Shadow Lairs feature some of the most terrifying monsters of the Clockworks imbued with dark powers: madness has overtaken the Snarbolax, Lord Vanaduke has embraced the forbidden powers of Darkfire and now commands a legion of cursed undead, and the Royal Jelly has been usurped by a far more legitimate heir to the throne!

Now you can accessorize your helmets and armor with a huge assortment of new accessory items! Simply take your accessories to the new shop in the Haven Bazaar, the Accessory Forge run by the stylish Knight, Bechamel. Accessories can be traded on the Auction House as well, so keep your eyes out for ultra-rare accessories that are up for sale!

Also included in this update is a new bonus for completing levels in the Clockworks, the Prize Wheel! Each Knight that reaches an elevator will get a free spin on the wheel and potentially earn great prizes like the new, rare Lockboxes. So if you're feeling lucky, head down into the Clockworks and give this new feature a spin!

Get energized Spiral Knights, this weekend will be a Power Surge Weekend! Beginning Friday, September 23 at 2pm PDT and ending Sunday, September 25 at 9pm PDT all elevator costs will be half off!

A Power Surge Weekend is the perfect time to see more of the Clockworks than you ever have before, offering more adventure for your mist. So gather your friends, ready your sword and take the plunge!
