Normally, you'd have to defeat Freddy Krueger to earn it, so having it from the jump is a major advantage.More Trick or Treat Sprites: The Trick or Treat Sprite variant appears more often, which makes this a good window if you're trying to complete your collection.Extra loot from chests: 1-Up Tokens and Portable Extractors may drop from chests, giving you a second life or a way to pull Sprites from opponents.Tips for making the most of itLand near chest-heavy areas, since the extra loot drops are tied to chests. If you're hunting for Sprites, prioritize Pumpkin chests and Cheat Codes, and consider timing your sessions to the first round if you're in North America or the second round if you're in Asia or Oceania, where it's closer to prime-time hours.Two rounds, one powerful starter weapon, and boosted Sprite chances make today's Power Hours a good time to jump in.
