Purchasing an Expansion Mission unlocks it for all knights on the account.

Lore

Warmaster Seerus is the evil master of munitions within the gremlins' all-powerful Crimson Order. Thought to be the true mastermind behind the Roarmulus Twins and countless other gremlin weapons, he is the Crimson Order’s creator and supplier for their diabolical engines of war.

Recon Knights under the command of Lieutenant Feron recently discovered Seerus’s ‘Grand Arsenal,’ his development center and storage facility for all his weaponry. Now, Feron himself has lead several squads of knights directly into the Grand Arsenal, with the intention of weeding out Seerus and destroying his war machines.

Met with heavy resistance, Feron’s squads require reinforcements and Spiral HQ sends several knights to aid them in their assault.

Aftermath

Monsters

• None *

* There might be corpses of Gremlins and destroyed Battlepods, but they aren't counted.

Aftermath is a Treasure Floor; there are no active monsters, and loadouts may be changed anywhere, so heat from the treasure boxes here can be applied to any equipment in a knight's arsenal.

Notes

• * Note that in addition to the regular tier's Gremlin Thwackers and Gun Puppies, picking up the bonus key in the level after clearing the shadow fire blocks will cause 2 Gun Puppies and a Gremlin Thwacker one tier higher than the current to spawn. Therefore an Ironclaw Thwacker will spawn in Tier 1, and a Darkfang Thwacker in Tier 2. Tier 3 is unaffected.
• ** In the arena, the Tier 2 version of these monsters appear in Tier 1. In Tier 2 and 3 alike, the Tier 3 version appears, and has a fire status variant, namely the Red Rover, Firo Knight, Hotrode, and Redward.
• Almost all Gremlin Mortafires are replaced by Blazing Mortafires in Tier 2 and Tier 3.
• All Battlepods of Operation Crimson Hammer can cause fire status in all Tiers.
