View source for Harkon Defense TLDR

=== About HD ===
Harkon Defense is a mini-game mode centered around tower defense and guardian. You can use this game mode to get decent/BIS equips (depending on your class) and exclusive fuses and pets. There also is a [[Harkon Defense Custom Exchanges|MS Stone exchange]] in CoraTO as well as a former event-basis Token of True Trickster exchange. Check it out--it's worth it!

=== Pregaming! ===
To get to Harkon Defense, you first need to get a Popeye Anenome card[[File:P. Anemone Card.png|frameless]] . Popeye Anenomes are in Ghost Blue Field 1 and drop the Light Pink Coral, NOT THE CASH BOXES. Speak to Eclipse in Event Garden and get the '''Mind's Eye''' skill. PLEASE NOTE: You do NOT have to give up your Eclipse Key if you want a free teleport to Mega--just talk to her only once!

=== Getting to actual HD ===
After you speak to Eclipse and get Mind's Eye, wait for a message like this to pop up:   [[File:Harkon Alert!.png|frameless]]

There is an alert in your chatbox and overlaying above the center-top of your screen 10 minutes, 2 minutes, and when it starts as well as the town you need to be in. Go to the town and use Mind's Eye. Look at the top right of your screen to your mini map before and after you do so--2 to 3 new red dots should have appeared--hover over them to find Stella (one of the new red dots) and go there. Depending on how quick you are, Eclipse may or may not already be there. You have to wait until you see this message to see Eclipse pop in and for you to talk to her to get into the Sanctuary.        


[[File:HD is NOW open!.png|frameless]]


You can enter at any point from this point on as long as the next message does not pop up; it means the sanctuary was lost.

== HOW TO HD : ==
[[File:Harkon Defense Image.png|thumb|'''General Diagram to HD''']]
So in HD there's a lot going on. Your primary objective is to defeat the shadow monsters and keep the statues alive. You get a new window that shows the health, monsters, and players at every statue. I've labeled most of it in this diagram on the side so you can use it for reference.

When you first enter, assuming you go right away, you have about 2 minutes to buff. You also get pop-up messages indicating the type of Harkon Defense it is--Gloom, Normal, or Boss. I'll get into those later. After that, you must defend the harkon statues. The health is bugged to show more than is actually there, so be careful!

When the timer is almost up, a boss will appear--Chronos! Don't worry, this is not the True Kronos you have heard legends about from Tartarus--this is a different boss with way less health, but it's still annoying to kill if you're not a Paula. This monster is the ''only way'' to get Chronos shards.


=== Types of Modes ===
- Gloom; lowest difficulty; good for getting Shadow Equips(?)

- Normal; Not great, not bad for shards(?)

- Boss; hardest difficulty; best for shards(?)

=== Where to Exchange ===
There's the [[Harkon Defense Custom Exchanges|Custom Exchange for MS Stones]] and the regular exchange. I will cover the regular exchange only in this section; please click on the link for the other exchange.

You need to go to Mega Shop and use Mind's Eye. Next to Rosemary is '''Stella''' by herself, ready to exchange shards and equipment with you.

== Poseidon's Blessing (Clover+Bonus) ==
When you successfully defend a Harkon Sanctuary in its entirety, you get a Poseidon's Blessing. This nerfs the monsters in a given area as well as increases SC chances with CID! Yes, it's true! Check your map before you CID!
