![]() | August 01, 2025 Hephael Knight Showcase Battlepass Is Now Live!The Hephael Knight Showcase Battlepass is NOW LIVE! Login now to earn the latest collection of Hephael-themed weapons, armors, morphs, bots, and more crafted with care by Acatriel! Who or what is Hephael? When the first colonists arrived on Delta V, they brought the myths of the old worlds with them, laying the foundation for new legends to emerge. To the superstitious of Delta V, Hephael is the god of the son and god of the forge, offering aid to followers and desolation to non-believers. Though the dominance of technology suppressed such beliefs during Delta V's peak, desperate times have caused the citizens to seek salvations through more primitive, but no less potent, means. So you all know what you're getting into with the new bots available in this season, the skill descriptions are listed below:
New Skill AugmentsThis update, we're starting the grand implementation of skill augments. Eventually each skill will have at least 2 augments. If you're interested in the math, that means each class will have up to 531,441 potential skill combinations! Augments will come in one of four different varieties:
For this release we're starting small with a skill that all 6 classes possess: Field Medic. This essential skill will receive 2 augments.
To access these augments, retrain your character, then reduce your points in Field Medic to 1. That will reveal left and right arrows you can use to choose the augments. All skill augments will work this way when they are eventually introduced. Please be patient as we fill out the class skill trees with new augments in the coming weeks, creating 144 new skills. We'll do our best to balance the updates so all classes get equal attention without overwhelming balance with too many options at once. Special thanks are due to the community that suggested and contributed to these new skill augment ideas! This would definitely not be possible without your dedication and input. With great persistence and a little luck, this change could lead EpicDuel into an exciting new era of PvP action!
Seasonal Rare ResetNext week, all seasonal rares will reset to their normal schedule, meaning this is your last chance to collect any remaining out-of-season seasonal rares you had your eye on!

Content Creators Unite!For ages EpicDuel has offered special achievements for creating Youtube videos. At the time, this was the best way we could think of to reward and encourage content creators (I think the achievements are so old that "content creator" wasn't even a widely used term yet) in the community to produce videos featuring EpicDuel. Awarding these achievements was a very cumbersome and time-consuming manual process that was very antiquated and unsustainable, especially with limited resources to review dozens, if not hundreds, of videos for quality and content. Fortunately, Beleen has helped establish a new content creator program that serves the same purpose as our existing Youtube video achievement, but centralized and more efficient. Although this system has been available for awhile, I wanted to highlight it here to make EpicDuel's community aware that this new system has fully replaced the old Youtuber achievements. If you didn't catch the original Design Notes post, I'll repost it below for you now: What are the rules/qualifications?
In case you missed it, here is the link to the nomination form: Nominate video makers and streamers to receive a Content Creator Badge!
More War Shop ArmorsMorzyd's War Shop has been stocked with additional War Prize armors!
Bug Fixes / Changes
Hephael Knight BattlepassThe Hephael Knight Battlepass is scheduled to be released next Friday. If you still have some items you need to collect on the current Battlepass, you still have some time! I know it seems silly to comment on this when the current Battlepass has been out since April, but somehow we always get a few emails from people mystified that the Battlepass that was in game for over 3 months is suddenly GONE! It might be better to have a countdown timer to show the exact amount of time remaining for each Battlepass, but I prefer to keep the dates flexible depending on when the next Battlepass items are ready.

![]() | July 18, 2025 Nightwraith's CurseRare Cores Return (Kind of)Some cores in EpicDuel have remained time-gated for over a decade. Since this is a PvP game, it's inherently unfair to restrict crucial abilities based on rarity. Thus, we have made some of those previously rare cores available to new players (*new* as in players who started playing after 2014) with a new coat of paint! While these cores have the same functionality as the rare cores, they are visually distinct. While this may seem like a bad thing to those who already possess the rare cores, please understand that it is impossible to balance a PvP game if certain cores are permanently unavailable to the general population. New Items on Nightwraith:
New Item on Ylwa:
New Item on Captain Murdoc:
War Shop UpdateMorzyd the Scavenger's War Shop was updated with many new armors. This is excellent timing since the current war is ending soon. Do you have enough influence to claim the Emperor Prize with 2 War Tokens?

![]() | July 11, 2025 Skill Tree ExpansionSkill Tree Overhaul
In perhaps the biggest change to EpicDuel since Omega phase started, EpicDuel is introducing expanded skill trees for all class! This means that all skills will be able to have two or more alternate skills that you can choose when retraining, opening up nearly infinite potential for build combinations. With this latest release we updated the live database to support these new changes. If everything is works fine with no major crashes or explosions, we will proceed to build and introduce new alternative skills for all classes. This process will probably take awhile, as skills take time to develop, test, and balance, but it's an exciting step towards breathing new life into EpicDuel's aging battle engine. To reiterate, you will not see the new skills yet after this update! The primary goal of this update is to lay the groundwork on the live database and test stability. If you don't notice any changes...that's a good thing! I means the update is stable and didn't break our existing skill systems. Also, since this update contains substantial changes to the server and client code you should clear your launcher or browser cache to make sure you have the latest version!
War Shop ExpandedMorzyd's War Shop has been expanded yet again with classic War Prize armors!
Quality of Life ChangesBuff tooltips below player vitals now display the duration of active buffs and debuffs. NPC Rage has been reverted.

![]() | July 04, 2025 Epic 4th of JulyEpicDuel is celebrating the 4th of July with some major quality of life upgrades and the addition of dozens of mutating War Prizes to Morzyd's War Shoppe.
Home Inventory UpdateThe home editing interface now has a toggle to select sell mode. This will help prevent instances of accidentally selling items and make it easier to see the smaller home items for placement. As the final update to Homes for awhile, home items can now be sold in bulk. This only applies to Credit items. Varium items must still be sold one at a time.
HP Diminishing ReturnsAll HP above 2,000 will start increasing at a slower rate per point, capping at 2,490 instead of the current 2,700.
NPC RageEpicDuel's many NPCs have plenty of pent up aggression from being dunked on for years. Now they are fighting back, as they can now gain Rage and use Rage attacks.
More War RaresMorzyd's War Shoppe has been updated to include all the mutating War Prizes.
HeroMart Summer DealsSummer Savings are LIVE at HeroMart! Buy 3 items and get a 4th eligible item for FREE!
Pending ProjectsSkill Tree Upgrade: We are currently working on an update to skill trees that will add a new dimension to the classes. Each node on the skill tree could have an option to select one or more alternative skills. This is the biggest update to EpicDuel's core battle engine in ages and has the potential to add nearly infinite depth to the existing classes. Next Battlepass. Gifting Prizes, now and forever.

Seasonal ReturnIt's that time of year again! EpicDuel is maintaining it's tradition of restoring all the seasonal rare for a limited time during the Summer. Stay cool with some Frysteland rares from Torgan or adopt spooky autumn vibes with Snork's Halloween rares.
The Price of WarThe War Token shop pricing has been adjusted to reflect the rarity and desirability of the prizes. We will be adding more over time so hold onto your War Tokens if you don't see your coveted War Prize yet. We've also added a new 50,000 Influence tier to war participation: Emperor.This tier offers 100,000 Credits, 100 Arcade Tokens, and 2 War Tokens. All other tiers have been shifted downward, with the Private Tier now being the 1,000 Influence tier. The tiers now look like this:
Balance ChangesThis week we're implementing a ton of changes to address runaway stat inflation, class balance, and Legendary points.
Coming SoonNext week we hope to roll out more improvements to housing, while finally catching up on the Gifting prizes. Plus, we have more War Token items to release! Plus, Acatriel is hard at work on the next Battlepass, and it's already looking amazing! Tags: Nightwraith |
