EpicDuel PVP Game Design Notes

Behind the scenes information about EpicDuel's development and releases, a real-time PVP MMO that you can play online in your web browser.

	February 13, 2026 Azrael's Viceregent Showcase Battlepass Is Now Live! The Azrael's Viceregent Showcase Battlepass is NOW LIVE! Login now to earn the latest collection of weapons, armors, morphs, bots, and more based on the mysterious and lethal entity, Azrael. So you all know what you're getting into with the new bots available in this season, the skill descriptions are listed below: Azrael's Viceregent Shadow P Azrael's Augment P: 100% Physical dmg.; grants +13 to all stats to the user for 1 turn.

Azrael's Aggression ExP: Do a mini-Rage based on your target's Rage; 100% Rage drain if used on Rage. Battlepass Standardization With this new Battlepass, we hope to standardize a few aspects of the rewards going forward: Battlepasses will offer a maximum of 2500 Varium. This allows people to break even on buying the Enhanced Battlepass if they manage to complete all 60 levels. Battlepass rares will remain rare after the Battlepass ends. Only robots and hairstyles will return eventually. Battlepasses will not offer cores. Core are better suited to be offered in-game or in promotional packages. Battlepasses will offer fewer gear rewards and instead offer more Coupon, Credit, and Arcade Token rewards. This should allow us to release Battlepasses more frequently while increasing the urgency to complete the current active Battlepass. New Coupons This Battlepass is introducing new rewards in the form of new Coupons. We are also Buddy Slot Coupon: It will cost 5 Buddy Slot Coupons to purchase 10 Buddy List slots. Inventory Slot Coupon: It will cost 5 Inventory Slot Coupons to purchase 10 Inventory slots. Name Change Coupon: It will cost 10 Name Change Coupons to purchase one name change. We only plan to offer these Coupons through Battlepasses for now as they represent some of the few remaining Varium-only features in-game. Additionally, we are changing the Coupon cost of Class Change and Gear Upgrade to 5 Coupons. This change was done because these Coupons are extremely easy to acquire. Seasonal Reset With this update, we've reset all the seasonal rares to return to their regular cycles. Epic Supporter Update We also updated all the Varium package achievements to 2026. Since Gifting is over, we changed them to the off-season names of Epic Supporter 2026, Supporter 2026, and Legendary Epic Supporter 2026. Character Pages Online After years of being broken on regular browsers, you can now view Character Pages thanks to our new Ruffle integration! This will also work on mobile devices! Now that the Battlepass is out, we can resume our progress on the Gifter rewards! Tags: Nightwraith

	February 09, 2026 Epic February Balance Update Didn't expect a Monday update, did ya? We've got a whole freighter-full of balance changes, and I determined it would be best to release it early to not overshadow or overwhelm the Battlepass release. Also, selfishly, I didn't want to spend Valentine's Day weekend fixing bugs or tweaking scaling values. Enjoy! *UPDATE February 11, 2026* In addition to resetting the seasonal rares currently in-game, we will be removing the 2025 Epic Gifting Supporter achievements, updating to the 2026 Epic Supporter achievements. You will have until the update on Friday to fully max out the 2025 Epic Gifting Supporter achievements!

This isn't technically "new" as it has existed in the game for years but we never had a good way to implement it, until now. It will be automatically awarded to players who earn at least 1,000,000 Influence in all war regions. The Influence tracked is based on your War region achievements like Wasteland General, Central Station Commander, etc... Also, the 1,000,000 milestone is based on having at least 1,000,000 in each region, not cumulatively. Bug Fixes Recently, we've seen an increase of reports of battles freezing and items not loading. I suspect this is a side-effect of trying to externalize assets that were typically baked into the client when it compiles. Some of these issues appear to be resolved by clearing the Launcher cache to get the latest version of the client while purging the old one. Just in case, we've added failsafe measures to keep battles going even if certain assets aren't fully loaded. Tags: Nightwraith

	February 06, 2026 EpicDuel Azrael Viceregent Battlepass Preview Battlepass Progress The Azrael's Viceregent Battlepass is in-progress and should be ready for release next week, barring any complications. I'm always cautious of calling an update in advance as that has a way of jinxing things, but I'll do my best to deliver! Plus, worst case scenario, stragglers have a few extra days to complete the current Battlepass (there's always at least one person who complains when the Battlepass that's been live for 4 months finally changes over). Seasonal Rares Leaving! When Azrael's Viceregent Battlepass goes live, the off-season seasonal rares will leave until mid-Summer! Your hours remaining to collect them all are dwindling, so act fast! Balance Changes This is part 1 of a larger balance update. This batch will focus on general skills, cores, and bots. Next week, we will focus on class skill balance. Field medic UA: Buff from +18 HP per lvl to +35 HP per lvl to match normal Field Medic Jack Frost bot: Removed 20% dmg to energy on initial hit Wolf’s Fury: Removed the 30% health condition; 20% Critical Chance; 30% Lifesteal; 30% Energy Conversion Saevusssax Annihilation: Removes Armor for 1 turn, Sidearm for 2 turns, Auxiliary for 3 turns, 0 EP cost Tremor Blast: Duration increased from 2 turns to 4 turns Hatchling Rush: Damage increased from 85% to 100; Heal debuff 20% Absorption: 25% to 20% conversion on incoming bot attacks Minor Absorption: 20% to 15% conversion on incoming bot attacks Crimson Offering: 80 HP cost to 100 HP; Reduce 300 EP gain to 280 EP Minor Crimson offering: 250 EP gained to 230 EP Infernal offering: 80HP cost to 100 HP; 280 EP total net gain; 93 EP per tick NPC Speech We've made an update to NPC speech. NPCs will no longer run out of dialog and fall silent. Also, special speech interactions like low-HP, blocks, and critical hits were completely broken and ignored, possibly for many years. This functionally has been restored. Additionally, non-standard bosses like Legendary Acatriel can now have dialog! Coming Soon Despite work on the Gifter rewards, we've been hard at work on new EpicDuel content! Azrael's Viceregent Battlepass (on schedule for next week) Buddy List, Inventory Slots, and Name Change coupons. Nulgath Birthday Rares. Weekly rotating missions. Much MUCH more! Tags: Nightwraith

	January 30, 2026 Post Gifting Prizes Finally, the Secret and Silver Secret package prizes have opened! If you were lucky enough to receive one or both of these packages during Gifting, you should find the new items sitting neatly in your inventory. Note that these can be sold, but they will automatically be added to your buyback record just in case you ever want them back. Silver and Gold With this update, we've "opened" the Secret and Silver Secret packages to reveal the 2025 Gifting prizes! Secret Package Frost Vindicator Armor A Frost Vindicator Armor B Frost Vindicator Armor A CC Frost Vindicator Armor B CC Frost Vindicator Greatsword P Frost Vindicator Greatsword E Frost Vindicator Arsenal P Frost Vindicator Arsenal E Frost Vindicator Revolver P Frost Vindicator Revolver E Frost Vindicator Rifle P Frost Vindicator Rifle E Silver Secret Package Frostbringer Armor A Frostbringer Armor B Frostbringer Armor A CC Frostbringer Armor B CC Frostbringer Greatsword P Frostbringer Greatsword E Congratulations to all who got one or both of these exclusive packages, either through Gifting or through a generous friend in the top 15. If you happen to have excess packages, those excess packages will be converted into Epic Gold Ingot or Epic Silver Ingots (Epic Gold Ingot Investing and Epic Silver Ingot Investing Daily Missions). Those can be redeemed via missions on the Krampus Trader for credits! Some of the top Gifters have a few extra Secret and Silver Secret packages remaining so they will be left as-is for now to give them some more time to confirm their distributions. Changes / Fixes Limited quantity Endless M4tr1x items that were introduced last Gifting are now sellable. Fixed a bug that would "freeze" your character if you used certain combinations of overlapping slash commands. Removed notification message if vehicles or morphs cannot use /fire or /boom. Now the item either performs the action or it doesn't. Vehicles that hide your character (morphs) are now database driven. Externalized several megabytes of assets that were once baked into the client - this should make the main client load (slightly) faster. This will be an ongoing effort to reduce the main client's file size to pre-empt any issues compiling the client. Coming Soon Despite work on the Gifter rewards, we've been hard at work on new EpicDuel content Azrael's Viceregent Battlepass Buddy List, Inventory Slots, and Name Change coupons.

	January 23, 2026 EpicDuel Gifting 2025 Aftermath It's been a week and few days since Gifting 2025 ended, and we're still hard at work on this year's Gifting prizes! Last week we were able to distribute as few prizes, and with this update, we're pleased to send even more prizes out, but we still have many more in-progress! Thank you for your patience as we craft these unique items that are sure to be among EpicDuel's most coveted and cherished rares! Thank you all for your patience as we continue our work. However, just because we're working on Gifting items, doesn't mean we can't bring new content for everyone else! We still have much more planned for EpicDuel in the weeks and months ahead! Coming Attractions New week on Friday, we will open Secret and Silver Secret packages so the lucky EpicDuelists can enjoy their new rare rewards! In case there are still undistributed packages among the top 15 Gifters, we can still open the packages, but the top 15 Gifters with excess packages will retain them, just in case. Next Friday also marks the return of the War system! You should see the hours remaining on the War cooldown after this update goes Live. Our next Battlepass is still in progress. The tentative release date is February 13th, but that can change depending on the Gifter prize progress. We don't want to overpromise, and there is still a ton of work to be done, but It would be REALLY REALLY cool to release this new BP on Friday the 13th! Quality of Life Added button to core icons to allow instant removal. Removed Confirm screen when adding and removing cores. This year we hope to add many more qualify of life features to EpicDuel to cut out annoyances while adding convenience. Ruffle, Anyone? We're not talking about potato chips (or crisps, if you prefer). Ruffle is a Flash emulator that is capable of playing old Flash games that are no longer supported by browsers. Recently, the desktop version of Ruffle updated to allow people to pay AQW and EpicDuel! It's not nearly as smooth as the AE Launcher, but it works! We haven't tested this yet, but this update could allow people to play EpicDuel on their phones. I must iterate that the best way to play EpicDuel and other AE games is through our Launcher, as it is the only one we officially support. However, it's great news that there are other ways to experience our games for those who can't use our Launcher. Tags: Nightwraith

	January 16, 2026 EpicDuel Gifting 2025 Ends Gifting 2025's Grand Finale! EpicDuel's latest Gifting event crushed records that were formerly thought as uncrushable! A staggering 59,244,280 gifts were given, which I believe is the most yet. In fact, our #1 Gifter, CactusChan, blew past all previous records with 8,000,000 gifts given! Also impressive is that the game held up (though with some struggling) with over 700 people Gifting online! I say this every year, but I mean it: Gifting would not work without the entire EpicDuel community coming together to celebrate this game and the connections we've all made on Delta V. Whether you're hardcore, casual, or OG fans returning to check out the game after a decade, you all help make this event great and keep EpicDuel in active development after over 16 years. The Top 15 Winners for the 2025 Gifting season are: CactusChan Ditto Alonzo Harris l Fade l Mandatory NojuiceLeft DIRE Xap DIRE Penelope mr vamprix. Dexmah zayo BadWitch Snowy Alexandris Caddeus Smoking Shadow It's worth noting that of the gifts given, over 5,000,000 remain unopened! You will have 6 months from today to open your gifts before they are cleared from the database. Since this was the first year we've recorded Faction contributions to the Gifting scores, we should highlight the top 3 Factions in this year's Gifting season: The Balance Brigade Royal Legacy Dreaming Awake This was fascinating information and shows the power of a united Faction working towards a common goal! To honor the top 50 Gifters and top 15 Factions, new leaderboards have been added permanently to Titan's Peak. We had to excavate TWO new chambers to accommodate the new boards without proper permits so hopefully we don't run afoul or Titan or any Krampus warriors. Be sure to stop by and pay your respects (/bow) to the greatest Gifters of 2025 (and maybe all time). Post Gifting Styles We've just added styles 937 - 951 to the style changer. If you browse the new styles, you'll notice a few are inaccessible -- styles 939 - 942 have been awarded to those who had a score of over 100,000 gifts in the most recent Gifting season. Balance Changes / Other Changes This was a change we tried about a week ago, but couldn't make the actual recommended change in time: (UA) Stun Grenade: Removed stun chance; disables target's Active Cores for 1 turn. (UA) Overload: Removed stun chance; disables target's Active Cores for 1 turn. These are some new changes: Removed +1/+2/+3 stat boosts for focus levels 3-6 Chairman's Fury P/E: 100% --> 50% Rage steal We have also made changes to the PvP drop pool: Removed Bido's Beast Breaker (all variants) Removed April Fool's items Removed Darkwraith items Removed Evolved Frostbane items Removed Infernal Overfiend items Removed Overfiend Nemesis items Added Omega Wolf Shards to the PvP drop pool Added Void Shards to daily reward pool (Omega Wolf Shards are already in the pool) What's Next? Our priority since Gifting ended was to record the initial wishes for all the top 15 Gifters. This includes distributing Secret and Silver Secret packages and working through the initial phases of prize creation. This season we already have some fascinating ideas for new custom items that are sure to achieve legendary status in the EpicDuel community. We thank you for your patience as we roll out these prizes with each week's release. Tags: Nightwraith

	January 09, 2026 EpicDuel Gifting 2025 The Home Stretch It's hard to believe that Gifting 2025 is nearly over, and what a season it has been! CactusChan appears to have an impressive lead at #1 with over 6 million gifts, but I understand that there are more Gifting mega-events planned before Gifting formally ends. No is as good a time as any to remind you all to please open your gifts! There's no reason to wait, and clearing the database before a massive Gifting spree should help make the events go much more smoothly. In case it was unclear, Gifting will officially end at the end of the day on Monday January 12th. I know this can be confusing to map to different time zones (we operate on EST), but the 12th will be the last full Gifting day. In other words, if you try to Gift on January 13th, you will be too late! What Happens When Gifting Ends? For those of you who have been through this process before, this will be old news, but for the newbies, here is a rundown of the process after the Gifting season closes. After Gifting deactivates, the leaderboard will finalize its list of top 50 Gifters and Gifting functionality will be disabled. Within a few hours after Gifting, emails will be sent to the top 15 winners to offer congratulations, gratitude, and begin the process of creating all the winners' prizes. If you are in the top 15 and don't receive an email within the first few hours, or we don't hear back from you for a day, we will find alternative means of contacting you. Next, we will distribute the completed score tier items (Gamma Druid Collection) to all the qualifying Gifters. This should also be completed an hour or 2 after Gifting ends. An in-game announcement will pop when the process is complete (you will need to relog to see your items). The Secret and Silver Secret Packages will not open until they are all distributed by the top 15 winners. This typically takes about 1-2 weeks for all the winners to decide so don't expect them in your inventory immediately after Gifting ends. This season has been incredible so far, featuring the highest Gifting score of all time! This is great news, but also humbling as it sets a high bar for EpicDuel in 2026! Last year we stretched ourselves out way too far with the volume of prizes (there are still a few still in progress from the 2024 season!), but this year should be much more manageable. We hope for your patience and understanding as we work to fulfill the our obligations to the winners and all participants in this record-smashing Gifting season! Gamma Druid Guardian The Gamma Druid Guardian bot, which can be unlocked at a Gifting score of 250,000, is finally ready for a skill reveal: Gamma Smash P/E: 15% defense ignore. Gamma Maul P/E: 100% damage; copies all debuffs active on the user to the target. This new ability should allow for devastating retaliation potential and serve as an amazing compliment to the Gamma Pirate Parrot's Mimic skill. The Legend of Jolly Jack Endless M4tr1x has some new missions for you. If you've been following along with the weekly item releases, you may have noticed some of the items are based on the components of a powerful, rare bot. Endless M4tr1x now has the means to help you assemble these parts and give them new life, if you have the Credits: Legend of Jolly Jack P Legend of Jolly Jack E Endless M4tr1x has also added 2 new items to her shop to complete the set: Jolly Jack's Husk P Jolly Jack's Husk E Balance Changes (UA) Stun Grenade: Removed stun chance; disables target's armor for 1 turn. (UA) Overload: Removed stun chance; disables target's armor for 1 turn. New Achievements In addition to the new Australia Day 2026 achievement available in the Achievement shop, we've added new achievements to account for the massive scores this year. I never thought we'd need an achievement for 6 million gifts, but here we are! Bug Fixes Fixed a very specific skill interaction in which Kaijuzilla's special breath attack drains the target's EP to 0, then (UA) Energy Parasite is used against the target. If the Energy gain from the breath attack was 23 Energy, only the +23 Energy gain would be seen due to value clamping. Now, the battle engine will consider the net value so +23 Energy gain vs. a -90 Energy loss would set the target's EP to 0 instead of 23. Added automatic resolution to failed currency checks when the client/server Credit values are mismatched for any reason. The client will automatically set to the server value. Attempting to retrain if stats are below the base values will automatically reset stats to minimums. Tags: Nightwraith

This was a ROUGH year for the industry in general with mass layoffs, brutal mergers, game cancellations, and studio closures. Games have always been a risky business, but the fact that we were able to make it through to 2026 in this environment seems like an incredible accomplishment. A game is nothing without its players, and we couldn't remain online without all of you. Whether you're a big Gifter with a maxed out buddy list or someone who just logs in for a few battles and chat with friends, you keep EpicDuel open for business! 2026 will surely offer more challenges, but challenges can also bring growth and opportunity. We will meet the moment, and bring even more exciting content to this humble Flash RPG! Duel On, 2026! Tags: Nightwraith

	December 19, 2025 EpicDuel Gifting 2025 Continues We're less than 2 weeks into Gifting 2025 and we already have some incredibly strong performances on the leaderboard. Repeat Gifting top-finisher CactusChan is going strong with over 4.6 million gifts given with many other repeat top-finishers crushing the multi-million mark. With so much time left in this year's Gifting, the top 15 positions are still far from set in stone. The recently-implemented Faction Gifting leaderboard has been interesting to watch as well, showing The Balance Brigade with a commanding 5.5+ million gift score. Dreaming Awake is close behind in 2nd place with Souls Requiem and Royal Legacy duking it out for 3rd. Overall, this was a fascinating addition to this year's Gifting event as it shows the potential power of Gifting as a team effort. With more major Gifting events planned in the coming days and weeks of Gifting, it's exciting to speculate what the final totals will be for this legendary event! New Items added to Endless M4tr1x Black Lotus Bow White Lotus Bow Holly Jolly Hatchet P Holly Jolly Hatchet E Holly Jolly Slayer P Holly Jolly Slayer E Jolly Jack's Leg P Jolly Jack's Leg E Jolly Jack's Scythe P Jolly Jack's Scythe E Bug Fixes During Gifting, with so many more eyes on the game, we tend to uncover many uncommon bugs created by edge cases that are hard to discover the rest of the year. When a body part fails to load due to a network slowdown or a missing asset, the armor falls back the basic style. This allows the player to continue playing and dueling even with unloaded armor parts. Hide text field in style change interface when an armor with a custom head is equipped. When selling a stackable mission item (i.e. Omega Wolf Shards) or core that becomes stored in multiple stacks, all identical stacks will sell and be removed from the Inventory. Previously, one stack would remain after the sale even though all items were sold for the correct Credit amount in the transaction, resulting in an Admin Kick if the player tried to sell the remaining stack. You can now complete missions with a split stack of mission items. For example, if the mission requires 10 Omega Wolf Shards and you have a stack of 5 and another stack of 5, the mission will accept both stacks for mission completion. It was possible to accidentally sell your equipped item in a bulk sale if the equipped item matched items in your inventory. This was rare because equipped items tend to have unique configurations, but it will no longer be possible. If you retrain with an invalid skill configuration and get kicked, your skill tree will be reset to its class default. This should resolve an issue affecting players with old characters who have obsolete skill configurations. Snuggle Panda achievement should now correctly award with Panda Hoodie purchase from Heromart. Tags: Nightwraith

	December 12, 2025 EpicDuel Gifting 2025: 5 Days Later EpicDuel's 2025 Gifting season is nearly 5 days in and already our Gifters have put up unbelievable scores! We already have 6 Gifters with over 1 million gifts given, and from what I hear, the Gifters are just getting started! I always think, in the weeks leading up to Gifting, that THIS will be the year that we host a party and nobody shows up. Between last year's massive prize payload and this year's much more muted offerings, I nearly convinced myself that EpicDuel Gifting had peaked. In this case, I'm happy that the EpicDuel community has proven me dead wrong! I'm especially impressed that the server was able to remain online after the heavier Gifting sessions, though it just barely held on. The best way you can help reduce server lag is to open your gifts whenever possible! This table has swollen to nearly 10,000,000 entries so if people don't start opening their gifts soon, we'll need to start do it manually, which will mean more random server shutdowns and more downtime. Gifting Leaderboard Update Now you can track your Faction's progress on the Gifting leaderboard with the "Factions" radio button on the main Gifting leaderboard! New Limited Items Added to Endless M4tr1x: Black Lotus Blade White Lotus Blade Jolly Jack's Arm P Jolly Jack's Arm E I wonder why she's selling random body parts. That's odd. I wonder if they will be used for something grander? Quality of Life /openallgifts - open all gifts (100,000 limit). Do your part to minimize lag: Please open your gifts! New Setting: Hide Other Names - Select to hide other names, faction names, and rating stars to help reduce lag in busy rooms. Button added to the mail interface to claim all reward mail. /openmail - claim all reward mail. This includes daily, level-up, and rank-up rewards. Bug Fixes: (EA) Proton Cannon: Only healed +50 HP instead of +200 HP if the user had Critical Heal equipped and was below 30% HP. Gamma Pirate Mimic: No longer copies Botanical Entrapment from the target. Was not properly flagged as a debuff. Kaijuzilla Nuclear Breath: Appeared to give back more energy than it should because the Energy gain was based on the raw bot damage instead of the actual damage. New Settings options were not saving on initial login and needed to be re-toggled to take effect. Added measures to prevent Gift count in the mail interface from freezing under heavy server traffic.

	December 08, 2025 EpicDuel Gifting 2025 Is NOW LIVE EpicDuel's 2025 Gifting event is NOW LIVE! Login now and claim your daily reward and join the Gifting fun! Remember to review the rules posted in this megapost here! Also, remember that opening gifts will work differently this year! There is no more /open1000gifts command. Instead, you can open your gifts from a button inside your mailbox. This handy button will show you how many gifts you have and allow you to open up to 100,000 Gifts at once. We may reenable the /open1000gifts if the extra convenience is required, but we will need more time to fully decouple the command from the old system. We also plan to implement a way to open all other gift mails like Daily Login and Level Up rewards. Faction Rewards To add some incentive for Factions to gift aside from the leading Faction, we're offering incentives for the 2nd and 3rd place factions. We will also try to add a place to display top Factions on the Gifting leaderboard before the end of Gifting. 1st Place - In addition to the Faction reward, all eligible members receive 1 Secret Package and 1 Silver Secret Package 2nd Place - All eligible members receive 1 Secret Package 3rd Place - All eligible members receive 1 Silver Secret Package Fameall Did you know there is a way to get Fame FAST? Type /fameall into the public chat field to fame all eligible players on your screen! Gifting Streak: Global Gifts We've updated the Global Gift percentages to be more generous at the higher end, maxing out at 75%! Tier 11: 75% Tier 10: 60% Tier 9: 50% Tier 8: 40% Tier 7: 30% Tier 6: 25% Tier 5: 20% Tier 4: 15% Tier 3: 10% Tier 2: 5% Tier 1: 0% Alonzo's Rares Prominent EpicDuel community member and stream Alonzo Harris generously offered his personalized items be offered by Oz in Central Station! Brigade’s Inferno Alonzo’s Pulse Brigade’s Guardian Alonzo’s Shadow Balance Changes Legendary Rank Adjustments: +20 Primary Damage → +10 +20 Gun Damage → +10 +20 Aux Damage → +10 +20 Bot Damage → +10 +20 Defense → +10 +20 Resistance → +10 +20 Medical Mastery → +10 +50 NPC Crusher → +60 +50 NPC Armor → +60 Underdog Adjustments: Underdog I: Grants +1 to Dex/Tech Underdog II: Grants +1 to Str/Dex/Tech Underdog III: Grants +1 to Str/Dex and +2 to Tech Underdog IV: Grants +1 to Str and +2 to Dex/Tech Underdog V: Grants +2 to Str/Dex/Tech Underdog VI: Grants +3 to Str and +2 to Dex/Tech Underdog VII: Grants +4 to Str/Dex/Tech Underdog VIII: Grants +4 to Str and +5 to Dex/Tech Underdog IX: Grants +5 to Str/Dex/Tech Underdog X: Grants +5 to Str and +6 to Dex/Tech Underdog bonuses end at Legendary Rank 55 instead of Rank 79, meaning the last Rank at which you can get an Underdog bonus is Rank 55. Robots: Gamma Parrot Punisher P/E: 100% dmg → 105% dmg; 10% Energy steal Cores: Gamma Rage (primary): Adds a 15% flat Rage boost for every primary attack. Gamma Rage (Sidearm): Adds a 15% flat Rage reduction for every Sidearm attack. Gamma Rage (Auxiliary): Adds a 15% flat Rage reduction for every Auxiliary attack. Quality of Life New options added to Settings: Hide Gifting Notifications - This hides all notifications for gifts given, global gifts, and gifting streaks. Hide Prize Notifications - This hides ALL prize notifications. This includes post battle prizes, Arcade prizes, mission rewards, and more. Hide Battlepass Notifications - This hides the pop-up notifications for Battlepass challenge progress. You can swap through skill augments even after 1 point or more is invested in that skill tree node. You will retain your hairstyle when you class change or gender change as long as you own the style you are changing to. While many styles are linked across class and gender so buying one style grants access to all styles for that style number. However, some styles, particularly older ones, are not linked so buying the male version of Hunter style 13 only grants access to that one style. If you change class to a Mage without owning the male Mage style 13, you will revert to the default style. Tags: Nightwraith

	December 03, 2025 Gifting Last Call 2025 EpicDuel is LIVE with the last update (hopefully) before the Gifting launch update on Monday December 8! Gifting will activate as soon as it's ready, but we're aiming for early afternoon EST. If you are interested in participating, please refresh yourself on the rules posted earlier! Balance Changes Gamma Pirate Promo: Gamma Brand (primary, active): 90 Energy cost → 0 Energy cost Gamma Rage (primary, passive): +2 str → 0; +15% Rage to user for every outgoing Primary attack. Gamma Rage (gun, passive): +2 dex → 0; +15% Rage reduction to target per hit. Gamma Rage (aux, passive) +2 supp → 0; +15% Rage reduction to target per hit. Gamma Guts (armor active core): Added ability to absorb energy poison dmg as well from skills such as Frostbite. Does not work on one-hit energy drain skills or Energy stealing skills like Soul Siphon or Energy Parasite. Cores: Infernal Offering: 114 Energy gain over 2 turns instead of 1 for a total of 342. Prime Technology Boost (armor passive only): +7 → +8 Strength Boost (armor passive only): +3 → +7 Dexterity Boost (armor passive only): +3 → +7 Support Boost (armor passive only): +3 → +7 Botanical Entrapment: 85% dmg → 100%; 25% healing debuff → 20% Zeus Might: -40 Technology → -27 Technology; 85% dmg → 100% Bots: Blood Wyvernpyre Bot Special (Incineration P/E): 90% dmg → 100% Bounty Hunter: (UA) Energy Shield: 30% ep drain on incoming attacks → 20% (UA1) Venom strike: 48 poison / 48 ep drain → 40 poison / 40 ep drain (UA2) Blood Lust: Level 10 23% Lifesteal, 5% ep drain → 21% Lifesteal, 5% ep drain Mercenary: (EA) Static Smash 85% dmg → 100% dmg Tech Mage: (EA) Assimilation 85% dmg → 100% dmg Tactical Mercenary: (UA 1) Toxic Grenade: Level 1 48 poison dmg → 45 (UA) Energy Shield: 30% Energy drain on incoming attacks → 20% (EA) Barbed Grenade: Scaling 0.26 per Technology → 0.29; +15 dmg per Level → +20 Cyber Hunter: (DA) Venom Strike: Level 1 120 poison → 115 poison (UA) Cyber Edge (passively increase primary and gun dmg): Level 1 3% → 1% Blood Mage: (EA) Energy Parasite: Level 1 18% → 19% Quality of Life Checked settings now save after a relog.

	November 21, 2025 Gifting 2025 Approaches Login to EpicDuel's latest update of balance changes, bug fixes, and quality of life improvements! Secret Package Preview Acatriel has been hard at work crafting the fierce Frost Vindicator set for the winners of this year's Secret Package! Gifting Score Tier Rewards Preview We're pleased to share a preview of the Gamma Druid Collection, which will be this year's Gifting Score Tier reward. Items will be awarded to those who achieve these score tiers at the end of Gifting: 10,000 100,000 250,000 1,000,000 - instead of a Gamma Druid item, the achievers of the 1,000,000 gifting threshold may select an unmodified Legacy Rare (aside from Founder). This applies even if the person who achieves 1,000,000 gifts does not reach the top 15. This has never happened before in Gifting history, but it's certainly possible. Bug Fixes/Changes Faction Manager: Faction Founders and Officers can view the win count of all Faction members by hovering over the member's name. You can only only view the records of members of your own Faction. Favorited and locked cores will now properly sort when equipping cores to an item. All skills with multiple augments of the same category (i.e. UA, EA, etc...) now have numerical indicators to differentiate (i.e. UA 1, UA 2). (EA 1) Static Charge: 85% dmg → 65% dmg; +4% per lvl → +3%; No rage gain; +1% per 3.5 tech → 3.25. (EA 2) Static Charge: +2% per lvl → +3%; Scaling +1% per 6.25 tech → 6.50 tech. Poison Barbs: Inflicts 100% dmg instead of 85% dmg. EA Energy Parasite: Now scales at 1% per lvl instead of 2%. Super scope: Skill description on rollover was cutoff. Field Medic: The last 2 levels scaled at a faster rate that the previous levels. Now all levels will increase by the same amount for all Field Medics and augments. EA Field Medic - Levels 8 to 10 increases +12 per level instead of + 15. UA Field Medic - Levels 8 to 10 increase by +18 per level instead of +23. Field Medic - Levels 8 to 10 increase by +35 per level instead of +45. Heal Over Time and Damage Over Time interaction: When near full HP and the user appies a HoT skill like (EA) Field Medic, but then the opponent inflicts poison, the battle engine was clamping the health gain to the max HP instead of calculating the net gain/loss from the poison, resulting in a net loss since the max HP clamp was preventing the full HP gain. Now the proper net calculation will apply. Tags: Nightwraith

	November 07, 2025 Battlepass Restock 2025 Prepare for Gifting To prepare for Gifting, the Epic Gifting Supporter 2025 achievements have been activated on all relevant promotional packages. I know this is a bit earlier than usual, but I won't be able to update next week so it seemed better to make the switch sooner than later. Battlepass Rares Restocked Look to The Challenger for returning Battlepass rares from previous seasons you may have missed! Kaiju Slayer Battlepass Azrael's Doombringer Battlepass Deltamancer Battlepass Battlepass styles are also available for purchase for Credits or Varium, depending if the style was Basic or Enhanced when it originally appeared. Infernal Guardian Returns Infernal Guardian promotional items are available for sale at Kraggor in the Infernal Mines. War Shop Update Morzyd's War Shop has been updated with new rares from previous wars! Carcinisation Cannon P (WS) Carcinisation Cannon E (WS) Carcinisation Capper P (WS) Carcinisation Capper E (WS) Carcinisation Cuirass (WS) Carcinisation Cuirass CC (WS) Carcinisation Cruiser (WS) Seasonal Rares Return Seasonal rares have returned throughout the shops of Delta V! Grab any you may have missed throughout the years! War Cooldown To make sure we don't have a War overlap for Gifting, I've nudged the start of the next war by a couple days. Power Week! In lieu of an update next week, I will be activating Power Hour for the entire week, ending November 16th! Battlepass Quality of Life Last week the Battlepass temporarily lapsed because I set the end date incorrectly. Thus, I have improved the the Battlepass UI to indicate time remaining. This time is subject to change because Battlepasses require a lot of content and setup so it's difficult to schedule the next one precisely. I also updated the main Battlepass button to disable when Battlepass has ended to prevent endless pressing on a "stuck" button. Bug Fixes/Changs: Gamma Brand: listed as Armor core in marketing when it is actually intended to be a Primary core. Plasma Cannon (PA): Fixed description to read a ignoring Defense instead of Resistance. Static Grenade (EA): +10 per level --> +15 per level Static Grenade (UA): +18 per level --> +15 per level Kernel Panic (DA): Improves 1% per level instead of 2%. Azrael's Doombringer Beast: Skill no longer lasts longer than intended in the event of a stun. Duration now properly tied to round count instead of turn count. Healing debuff applies to both attacker and defender for duration of debuff. Energy Shield (UA) (drain attacker's Energy based on 30% incoming damage): Energy reduction was calculated first so if the player had 50 Energy and lost 100 Energy, but also gained 50 Energy from another skill, the Energy loss would backstop at 0 so the net gain/loss would be +50. This has been changed to calculate the gain first, then the loss, resulting in a net gain/loss of 0 in this scenario. Energy loss damage bubble will display the net amount of Energy loss if the loss is greater than 0. The case has also been handled in which a skill increases Energy above the maximum, but another skill reduces Energy. For example, if a player has 400 Energy with a 500 max Energy and they gain 250 Energy but lose 100 Energy, they will have 500 HP after the net calculation.This should make Energy gain/loss scenarios easier to predict.

	October 31, 2025 A Very Epic Halloween Legion Pumpkin Lord Drops With this update, we've added several new Undead Legion-themed PvP drops! Legion Pumpkin Lord Saber P Legion Pumpkin Lord Saber E Legion Pumpkin Lord Sword P Legion Pumpkin Lord Sword E Legion Pumpkin Lord Glaive P Legion Pumpkin Lord Glaive E Legion Pumpkin Lord Talons P Legion Pumpkin Lord Talons E Legion Pumpkin Lord Fangs P Legion Pumpkin Lord Fangs E Legion Pumpkin Lord Hatchet P Legion Pumpkin Lord Hatchet E Legion Pumpkin Lord War Axe P Legion Pumpkin Lord War Axe E Legion Pumpkin Lord Staff P Legion Pumpkin Lord Staff E Legion Pumpkin Lord Summoner P Legion Pumpkin Lord Summoner E Two new NPC drops have been added to the Nightmare Pumpkin Lord boss!

Dr. Voltforge's Sword P Dr. Voltforge's Sword E Dr. Voltforge's Arsenal P Dr. Voltforge's Arsenal E HalloWarrior 5.0 The newest HalloWarrior 5.0 Achievement is available in the seasonal Achievement Shop! Balance Changes (DA) Smoke Screen: +1 Dexterity per 2.5 --> 3.3 Technology (UA) Cyber Edge (Primary and Sidearm): 2%-15% --> 3%-12% bonus damage (EA) Plasma Grenade: +24 --> +15 damage per level (EA) Barbed Grenade: +24 --> +15 damage per level (UA) Terrify (stun): 15% stun chance --> 10% Defense/Resistance debuff; 3 --> 4 turn duration New Gift Interface If you check out your mailbox, you will notice that you see a new button for opening gifts, along with a display showing your current gift count. This is part on a ongoing overhaul to improve the user experience of opening thousands of gifts. While seeing a new gift in your mailbox was a cool experience, it tended to lose its luster after gift mail 1001 or so. When the feature is completed, you should be able to open up to 100,000 gifts in a matter of seconds! Faction Gifting Rules Addendum Since we added incentives for Factions in this upcoming Gifting season, I've seen disturbing rumblings about people thinking of selling Faction member slots. The best way to handle this potential problem is cut it off at its head and declare that in order to be eligible to sharing or Faction Gifting prizes, a Faction member has to have been a member of a Faction before this post went up on October 31, 2025. Anyone who joins a Faction after this will not be eligible for the prizes. If you're reading this and you're already in a Faction or have been in a Faction for months or years, you've got nothing to fear. I really wish we didn't have to be so strict and add all these rules and caveates, but scammers are like water: they always find a crack. Coming Soon! Next week, we will be returning seasonal rares to the shops, adding old Battlepass rares to The Challenger, and updating the Epic Supporter 2025 achievements to their Gifting counterparts. I know this is earlier than usual, but due to a schedule complication, it will be better to do this earlier than later. Tags: Nightwraith
