Blood Moon Is Here!

The Blood Moon Halloween event is here! The part of it I was looking most forward to was the debut of the Celestial power set. Being a healer AND a ranged attacker is most appealing to me. However, after you download the Blood Moon update you CANNOT make a celestial character right off the bat. There's a mission to do in Millenium City, which I haven't done yet.
But, there is also Halloween-themed public PvP areas. I went to the one in Canada. There you have to become a werewolf and a werewolf hunter and then battle it out.

So far, I've been a wereworlf and you can see I took part in a battle royale with werewolf hunters. Fun stuff, but a little repetitive. Still, I love PvP that's done in the public. I hate going to an arena and fighting inside a ring.

Halloween Costumes In Champions Online

Champions Online has come out with special sets of Halloween costumes and you need Cryptic points to get them. I used all the Cryptic points I earned in the game on the Cyborg Beast costume, which you saw in my last post. But, I wanted the Epic Samurai set and the complete Halloween set as well.

So, I drank the Kool-Aid and actually spent money on getting Cryptic Points. I thought $25 for 2000 Cryptic points wouldn't break my bank.

Here's just some of the costume options I got:

Epic Samurai
A perfect set for Technoblade since he is proficient with the samurai blade and is also of Japanese ancestry. I quickly put together this costume. I'm not set on that white color, but it's a departure from the other look.

Skeleton & Web Set

This costume for Island Warrior has elements of the Skeleton and Web set. I really LOVE this Halloween costume. It really screams Halloween out to you! I also love that noose around his neck.

Cyborg Beast Costume

There are some new costumes that are for sale in the Champions Store (C-Store). If you have accumuluated a lot of Cryptic Points, then you can buy some of them. I got myself the Cyborg Beast Costume set. Looks pretty cool, huh? I really like the robotic wings.

You can also purchase Cryptic points with real cash to get these limited time goodies. There's also a whole bunch of Halloween themed costumes. Once you get one set of costumes, it will be available for all of your characters.
