EpicDuel PVP Game Design Notes

April 28, 2023

EpicDuel is live with 2 new 4,000 AP promo packs, new PvP drops, new styles, and new prize code star sabers for the entire month of May!

New Promos

EpicDuel can be very intimidating for new players. After 15 years of development, there are so many weapons and cores that it can be difficult to know how to best spend your hard-earned credits and Varium. To provide a boost to new and returning players, we've introduced two new promotional packs for 4,000 Artix Points each:

Stat Boost Pack

A quick way to optimize your build is to equip potent passive cores to boost key stats like Strength, Dexterity, Technology, and Support. Many new players don't even know such cores exist! This package includes many of the most common Passive boosts to provide tangible boosts to struggling builds.

• Primary Mastery
• Gun Mastery
• Auxiliary Mastery
• Health Reserve
• Energy Reserve
• War Commander

This pack also includes 2 of each of the following limited-charge stat boost cores:

• Strength Boost x30
• Dexterity Boost x30
• Technology Boost x30
• Support Boost x30

Grenade Pack

Grenades are useful Primary Active cores that can offer a quick offensive advantage in battle. This pack includes two of each limited charge grenade core. 

• Soldier's Grenade P x25
• Soldier's Grenade E x25
• Om Nom Bomb P x25
• Om Nom Bomb E x25
• Magma Grenade P x25
• Magma Grenade E x25
• Short Circuit Grenade P x25
• Short Circuit Grenade E x25
• Crystal Grenade x25
• Stalagrenade P x25
• Stalagrenade E x25
• Hammer Grenade P x25
• Hammer Grenade E x25

If these packs are successful, we hope to introduce more packages bundling other useful cores and items to improve shopping convenience for new and veteran players alike.

New PvP Drop

If you don't want to wait until Monday to start collecting saber swords, we've added 8 new weapons to the PvP drop pool!

• Darkwraith Star Saber P
• Darkwraith Star Saber E
• Darkwraith Star Blades P
• Darkwraith Star Blades E
• Darkwraith Star Axe P
• Darkwraith Star Axe E
• Darkwraith Star Staff P
• Darkwraith Star Staff E

As of this update the April Fools weapon drops have been removed from the PvP drop pool. 

May the Fourth

Starting May 1st at 12 PM (EST), a new prize code will be posted to Nightwraith's Twitter for a new rare saber sword. The next code will be posted at 5 PM (EST). This will be the schedule until all codes are depleted! There should be enough quantity of each prize item to last a while, but they won't last long and there will not be any reposting. Good luck, and May the Fourth be with you!

New Styles

As an appetizer for the upcoming Ultra Corsair promotional package, we've introduced eight new styles to complement the set once it's finally released!
