I had an idea, what if we had possible one or two tower defense missions?
Possible one in tier 2 or tier 3 possibly, it could even turn out to an event or daily prestige mission!

Possible scenarios
1: Darkfang assembly line;
Waves of construct and gremlin swarm in from around whatever the players are defending, as the waves get bigger (Possibly around 5 and up) Battlepods will come into the area on some method of transport, and at the very last wave, lesser versions of the roarmulus twins.

2: (Undead);
Waves of all zombie types, howlitzers and silkwing healers swarm in from around whatever the players are defending, as the waves get bigger (Possibly around 5 and up) Dreadnaughts and almirian royal guards will come charging into the area, and to finish things off perhaps a skeletal hound.

An additional note: players will control their knights and monsters will attack players while moving towards the defended area.

Note: These are pretty basic ideas so please! leave input!

hmm

Some sort of endless arena (or very large arena) would be a lot of fun. As long as there's a large box reward afterwards it would be a lot of fun.

I can see a swarm related one of these happening as well.

Sounds fun!

I'd add Carnavons to certain undead waves to make you feel more cornered.

@Nekkoth Sorry.

Sorry, I thought putting undead would imply all types of undead, I'll be sure to make the post more clear!
Thanks for your feedback!

Good Idea!

Only one question: ^^
Would we still control our knights as well or just place towers?

@Nizada

You would control your knight, I'll be adding something extra to the post now.

don't worry!

I thought Carnavons to be a rather special kind of undead and wasn't sure if they were included. It is something about the reviving totems that make them feel like "real" zombies. I imagine wave after wave of these things would give the tower defense a really nice touch.

Adding ideas:
I think if was set up like an arena and you could choose to quit after a set of waves or to take the next set with an increasing amount of rewards, it would make a nice set-up for energy turrets.
Make them less useless and those 5 energy seem a better option than using a spark of life or paying 200+ energy.

Edit: Some enemies should prioritize the target rather than attacking you and letting them reach and damage the target could activate some sort of haze bomb making you suffer a status condition according to the theme of the level.
