''Zugzwang's seasonal garden is the perfect destination for those who can't make up their mind about the weather. Every few days, the seasons shift, bringing with them a new crop of mice with different powers.

== Overview ==
 +
'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a hunting location in [[Rodentia]] region.<br>
 +
It requires the [[rank]] of [[Lord|Lord/Lady]] and the [[Zugzwang's Scarf]] to access.
 +
 
 +
[[#Mice|Mice]] available in this location is determined by [[#Seasons|Season]], which changes every 80 hours.<br>
 +
The Hunter collects '''Key Shards''' here to craft [[Zugzwang's Tower Key]] to unlock [[Zugzwang's Tower]] location.<br>
 +
[[Amplifier]] gained from catching mice here can be used to effectively hunt in [[Zugzwang's Tower]].
  
−
== Description and Requirements ==
+
This location will be locked when there is an on-going progress in [[Zugzwang's Tower]].<br>
−
'''Seasonal Garden''' is a location in the [[Rodentia]] region requiring a minimum rank of [[Lord|Lord or Lady]] and the [[Zugzwang's Scarf]] to enter.
+
It can be unlocked again and the Hunter transferred to by either:
 +
*Retreating from the tower
 +
*Catching a [[Mystic King]] or [[Technic King]] with neither [[Checkmate Cheese]] nor [[Stalemate Charm]] armed
 +
*Catching a [[Chess Master]] without [[Stalemate Charm]]
  
−
The Seasonal Garden changes seasons every 80 hours. The current season is reflected on the travel map, allowing it to be monitored from outside the area.  The [[Umbrella]] collectible is also affected by the current season.
+
== Gameplay Mechanics ==
 +
=== Seasons ===
 +
In '''{{PAGENAME}}''', a '''Season''' mechanic is in effect:
 +
*There are 4 seasons, each has its own mouse sub-group and the corresponding power type effectiveness.
 +
*Each season lasts for 80 hours.
 +
*In each season, there is a mouse that can drop a '''Key Shard''' to craft [[Zugzwang's Tower Key]] to unlock [[Zugzwang's Tower]].

Traveling out of the Seasonal Garden will not affect the Tower Amplifier's percentage.
+
=== [[Tower Amplifier]] ===
 +
An '''Amplifier''' mechanic affects the gameplay in '''{{PAGENAME}}''' and [[Zugzwang's Tower]].
 +
*Catching [[#Mice|mice]] in this location increases the amplifier.
 +
**The amplifier gained depends on mouse.
 +
**There are some [[#Weapons|Weapons]] and [[#Charms|Charms]] that can boost the amplifier gained.
 +
*Failing to attract decreases the amplifier by 3%.
 +
*The maximum amplifier is determined by the Hunter's [[rank]]:
 +
**[[Lord|Lord/Lady]] can charge the amplifier to '''150%'''.
 +
**[[Baron|Baron/Baroness]] can charge the amplifier to '''160%'''.
 +
**[[Count|Count/Countess]] and above can charge the amplifier to '''175%'''.

These are the shops that can be found in the Seasonal Garden:
+
In '''{{PAGENAME}}''', the HUD shows:
−
*[[Cheese Shoppe#Seasonal Garden Cheese Shoppe|Cheese Shoppe]]
+
*An image indicating current [[#Seasons|season]]
−
*[[Trapsmith#Seasonal Garden Trapsmith|Trapsmith]]
+
::''The '''season''' and the types of mice you can catch in the garden change every few days, so be sure to check back often!''
−
*[[General Store#Seasonal Garden General Store|General Store]]
+
*The [[Amplifier]] bar showing the percentage
 +
::''Your '''Tower Amplifier''' boosts your trap's power inside '''Zugzwang's Tower'''. Catching a mouse in the Garden raises the Amplifier's charge, while failing to attract lowers it.''
 +
::''Your amplifier will max out at '''[X]'''%.''

== Seasonal Garden Mice ==
+
== Mice ==
−
Most mice in the Seasonal Garden are in the [[Seasonal Soldiers]] group. They have a weakness to [[Tactical]] weapons, as well as another power type depending on their season. The average points and gold rewards for the mice increase from the lowest in spring to the highest in winter.  On days when the [[Relic Hunter]] can be found in the garden, catching one will increase the [[Tower Amplifier]] by 1%.  However, [[M400]], [[Glitchpaw]], and [[Prize]] mice do not affect the amplifier.
+
All mice found in '''{{PAGENAME}}''' are part of the [[Seasonal Soldiers]] mouse group.

'''Primary Weakness''': [[Hydro]]

All mice found during '''Winter''' are part of [[:Category:Seasonal Soldiers (Winter)|Winter]] sub-group.
 +
 
 +
They can be attracted using any [[Standard Cheese]].
 +
 
 +
[[Hydro]] power type is very effective against these mice.<br>
 +
[[Tactical]] power type is effective against them.<br>
 +
All other types are ineffective.

=== Hunting Tips by [[Larry]] ===

=== Cheese Usage ===
 
−
Standard cheese works in this area, but each time bait fails to attract a mouse, the [[Tower Amplifier]] is reduced by 3%, so many hunters prefer to use [[SUPER brie+|SUPER|brie+]] due to the low attraction rate of [[Brie]] or [[Gouda]]. Hunters looking for [[Spring Familiar]] or [[Fall Familiar]] should equip [[SUPER brie+|SUPER|brie+]] to increase the chance of encountering these two mice.

−
Use of [[Amplifier Charm]]s, or the Limited Edition [[Chesla's Revenge]] weapon, increase the rate at which the tower amplifier is increased.

When your amplifier is charged, it gives a power bonus to your trap when hunting in Zugzwang's Tower. When hunting in the tower your Tower Amplifier's charge will decrease until it runs out or you leave the tower.

Hunting Strategy

Hunting Tips by Larry

Welcome to the Seasonal Garden, MouseHunter!

I hope you brought a change of clothes with you, because the seasons around here shift every few days, bringing new weather, and new mice to trap.

If you're looking for a good general strategy, a tactical trap will perform well in any season. Most seasons also have another, secret weakness for Hunters to discover on their own, so experiment with different trap setups, and see what works. Be sure to keep an eye out for shards of the key to Zugzwang's Tower, as well- there's one shard hidden in every season.

As you catch mice in the garden, your Tower Amplifier will increase. Failing to attract mice in the garden will cause your Tower Amplifier to decrease.

When your amplifier is charged, it gives a power bonus to your trap when hunting in Zugzwang's Tower. When hunting in the tower your Tower Amplifier's charge will decrease until it runs out or you leave the tower. Make sure to get a full charge before going in, because if you leave the tower, your amplifier will reset to zero.
