Can you survive in Spawn's world with this themed return of Survivor's Bane? Defend against endless waves of demons in Hellspawn's Bane while picking up orbs to collect new skills. For this special collaboration, we've added 6 new skills that resemble Spawn's iconic powers:
A new timer has been added to this special edition of Survivors Bane. When the timer runs out, you will be teleported to "Hell" where you will face Heap, a powerful creature who opposes Heaven and Hell in the Spawn universe. Upon defeating Heap, you will be returned to their original location, and a special combat orb will drop that gives you a buff for a limited time.
A creation from the Eighth Circle of Hell, Malebolgia is one of the most powerful rulers of Hell in the Spawn universe, the demon lord who creates and commands Hellspawn warriors to wage war. He is the demon responsible for creating the hero of Spawn, intending to use him as a pawn in Hell's eternal conflict. Cunning, cruel, and immensely powerful, Malebolgia embodies corruption and domination, seeking to expand his influence by exploiting the souls of the damned and turning humanity's greatest champions into servants of Hell.
Taking down this immense evil from another world won't be easy, so bring your most stalwart comrades for this fight. Malebogia wields both brawn and sorcery, so watch out for large-scale attacks and Hellspawns summoned to fight.
Assemble your forces and raise up the ranks to send Malebolgia back to his own version of Hell.
Diablo Immortal's latest 2-Star Legendary Gem pays homage to Spawn's Necroplasm-based abilities. Capture a portion of this power as your own.
Dealing damage causes Necroplasm to surround you, increasing your damage done for 6 seconds and every few seconds the Necroplasm attempts to consume one periodic harmful effect from you. If the Necroplasm successfully consumes a periodic harmful effect or you kill an enemy it will unleash a Necroplasmic Bolt at a nearby enemy that explodes on contact, Burning all nearby enemies for several seconds. Cannot gain Necroplasm more often than once every 20 seconds and cannot unleash a Necroplasmic Bolt more often than once every few seconds.
