EpicDuel PVP Game Design Notes

September 04, 2020

Echoes of war sound throughout the Infernal Mines. Relive one of the greatest conflicts of Delta V's history and spar against the Delta Vault!

Also, remember to stop by Thalyssa in the West Naval Yard to pick up any returning pirate gear you may have missed!

Relive the Delta Vault Battle!

Visit the War Memorial in the Infernal Mines to challenge a simulation of the Delta Vault from the original Infernal War! While Baelius' original diabolical design required an entire army to breach, this version can be bested in single combat. Since the level cap and power levels are higher now than in those days of Delta, a new Legendary variation is available to test your might against an opponent the best duelists of the day would struggle to defeat! As if the honor of triumph and a shiny new achievement weren't enough, the Legendary Vault is holding some treasures in the form of rare armor drops!

New Items

The War Memorial is also dispensing new throwbacks that the Infernal War, grenades! Available as equitable cores, these limited skills can provide interesting strategies to throw your opponents off guard and turn the tide of battle. No duelist should leave the mines without one! Lawman's orders!
