List of Promotions

Promotion Description Tips and Tricks
Imp Sale! - All Imps 40% off! When buying Imps, they cost 40% less gems
  • It is recommended for new players to wait until these sales to buy Imps
Boosts Sale! - All Boosts are 50% off! Includes: Cave-In, First Strike, Fortification, Scouting, and DK Premium
  • At the time of buying make sure you are in a guild that is at least level 40, so you can take advantage of the 20% increase in boost duration. This is especially valuable when purchasing DK Premium for 100 days, since you will get a bonus of 20 days.
  • Buying the 100 day DK premium during this sale costs 5000 gems, instead of 10,000.
  • On the last day of the sale, you can buy 7 day sales to last you the whole of the next week.
Traps Sale! - All Stone costs are 50% off! Includes all traps and doors that cost stone, includes building them and upgrading them.
  • At higher levels, traps can be very expensive, especially doors. Take advantage of the promotion when upgrading higher level traps.
  • Does not include any single-use traps that are paying for with gold or dreadstones, such as boulders, chicken bombs, spring traps, or UR Mines
Accelerate Sale - All Acceleration costs are 50% off! Accelerations means completing the following with gems: buildings, training, training minions, reviving immortals, freeing immortals, etc.
  • When upgrading the Dark Library, it will stop producing mana, leaving none for the player to collect until the upgrade is complete. While it is upgrading, you can't cast spells or gain spell XP, unless you buy mana with gems. It can be very beneficial to accelerate this building. *Accelerating minion summoning can also be very cheap and worth while.
  • If you are going to accelerate training times (or simply monitor them), be aware that training bonuses from guilds are not applied, until you watch a replay or look at another players dungeon or test your own dungeon. Make sure to do this immediately before accelerating the training.
  • Mines and Quarries do not produce gold and stone while being upgraded. Though the amount they provide isn't worth accelerating them for unless you are desperate for Imps.
Reinforced Wall Sale - All Reinforced Walls are 60% off! Walls
  • Upgrading walls that are higher levels will gain you the most benefit. At lower levels they can be upgraded with ease even without the special, can be a good way to dump stone.
  • It can be a good idea to focus on getting individual walls to level 13, which require at least two bombs, even at max spell level.
  • During this promotion, gathering stone is very difficult as most players are spending their stone on walls, leaving little to plunder.
  • During this promotion, try and leave one Imp idle for upgrading walls.
Resources Sale - Purchasing Gold or Stone is 35% off! When buying Gold or Stone, the gem cost amount is reduced by 35%.
  • This is still very expensive to do, even with the special. Recommended to only use it when your desperate, or if you are rich.
  • This promotion sucks
Spell XP Promotion Players can earn 2x the experience when casting spells. Can sometimes be different amounts, it has been up to 5x before.
  • When you have spare mana and you are not raiding, you can go into campaign dungeons and use spells, then leave. You will still get experience.
  • Try to use spells that are close to leveling up.
  • Think twice before upgrading your library during this special...unless you plan to accelerate it.
Specific Spell Bonus and XP Promotion Specific spells can receive 3x to 4x the XP. Some also may get an extra cast. For example, the Disable Trap spell can have 1+ extra cast each time it is used.
  • Cast the specific spell as much as you can!
  • Even if you have maxed the specific spell, you get an extra cast.
  • Can be useful for completing campaigns that you are struggling with
Very Rare Rooms Sale - 50% off! All rooms are 50% off upgrading except Dungeon Hearts, Guild Lairs, and Guard Rooms.
  • This promotion has only started appearing 4 years after the games release. There has been two since release until November 2018. Take advantage of this when it comes about
  • Focus on upgrading stone and gold storage. These rooms at later levels require that mines and quarries be upgraded to reach the storage amount (100k each time). That way you can by pass upgrading the mines for some time, yet still get the storage you need.
  • Ensure you Dungeon Heart is kept at it's highest level at all times in case this promotion comes about. That way you can upgrade what you want without the Dungeon Hearts restrictions, as it is also not a part of the promotion.
  • If you were upgrading other rooms before the sale, and you cancel them. You will only get 25% back of what you spent as it calculates at the promotions price, not the one prior.
50% off Immortals gem costs Immortals that cost gems are 50% off during this promotion
  • Wait until this promotion to buy immortals with gems, you will save a lot in gems
  • Immortals that cost dreadstones are not affected by this promotion
Specific Minion Bonus Specific minions can receive bonuses during this promotion. For example, in August 2018 the Warlock received 1+ Range and 50% bonus DMG
  • This promotion can be good only if the specific minion is at a decent level.
  • Can be a good idea to rearrange your dungeon when these promotions occur. For example, a warlock that can fire over 3 walls instead of 2 can yield devastating results, depending on your dungeon.
Specific Immortal Bonus Specific immortals can receive bonuses during this promotion. For example, in July 2018m, Deeg & Dugger received 2x bonus move speed & 3x digging damage.
  • The benefits of this promotion depend on the immortals level.
  • When immortals had a max level of 35, they received a special bonus if you had the immortal at that level.
  • Currently, these promotions have been stopped as the immortal patch that allows them to be upgraded to level 40 still requires balancing.
League of Evil - Earn 2x League of Evil Rewards! Not sure what this is
  • This promotion must be very old, possibly irrelevant now.
