How to Play
- Dark Santa – The boss. More health, permanent potion effects (Strength, Speed, Haste), stronger gear. Must eliminate all Lutins or capture the Black Sanctuary to win.
- Lutin – The elves. Work together to defeat the Dark Santa. Each Lutin gets a random ability: extra health, speed (with Dash), or resistance (with Shield).
- Lutin Purificateur – A special elf that can resurrect up to 5 times (with health loss each time). Immune to permanent death until all lives are used.
- Darkness Bar – The Dark Santa has a darkness shield. Lutins must hit him 30 times to break it before he can be truly killed.
- Sanctuary Capture – Santa can capture 4 colored sanctuaries (Red, Blue, Green, Yellow) to unlock the Black Sanctuary for an instant win.
- Chest Winch – After Santa is defeated, Lutins can winch a special chest to claim victory.
