The Scandalmonger unlock requirements Requirement Target Clear biome Outstretched x Spire Build blueprint Glass House Building cost 500 Gold + 300 Crystal Build Glass House at your base
Return to base, construct Glass House, and send harvesters to work on it. The biome clear unlocks the blueprint; completing the building unlocks The Scandalmonger.
What success looks like
The Scandalmonger is available in the character roster after Glass House is completed.
Ability and aiming
Returning balls briefly orbit the aim cursor.
How to use it
Place the aim cursor near the enemy group you want the returning ball to remain around briefly. The cursor location, rather than the player’s position alone, determines where that orbit is centered.
Limits to plan around
The orbit is brief. It does not keep a ball at the cursor indefinitely, and one short orbit cannot cover widely separated enemies at once.
If it does not work
If The Scandalmonger is missing, check that you cleared Outstretched x Spire, unlocked the Glass House blueprint, supplied 500 Gold + 300 Crystal, and completed its construction with harvesters.
If the shot behaves differently
If an orbit ends, that can be the normal short duration. If it is centered away from the enemy group, check the aim cursor’s position.
