Daily Boss Bounties View the Boss Slayer Leaders on Slayer in the Barrens for the latest daily boss bounty! Defeat the selected boss the most for the day to receive the Boss Breaker achievement! New boss bounties are selected at the end of the day when the leaderboards reset. To recognize boss duo teams, we will award achievements to the top daily boss battlers in the event of a tie. The first daily bounty will be, appropriately enough, Nightmare CactusChan! Battlepass Enhancements In preparation of the upcoming Technomancer Battlepass, we've added some polish and perks to the Battlepass systems. Battlepass Enhanced button shows Varium price. Enhanced pass grants 20% more Battlepass XP. During Power Hour, this increases to 40%. Battlepass rewards now show a description of Robot/Core abilities. Challenges will display increased XP. Challenge progress/completion notifications are queued so when you progress multiple challenges, you will see each popup in a queue. A max of 5 popups will display, with additional popups appearing as the visible ones are closed or disappear on their own. Challenge popups now show whether it's a daily or weekly challenge. Completed challenges receive a unique popup animation. NPC AI Overhaul EpicDuel's NPCs were due for an upgrade. Maybe few of the current players remember, but NPC's were basically lobotomized in the Omega update. NPC AI was one of the last features to be carried over and it was drastically simplified in the transition. Before, NPC's had much greater battle context and complex assessments for the ideal skills vs ideal targets. To catch up with 2026, we've performed a major overhaul of NPC AI. We may need to adjust this further as we get more battle feedback (there are over 200 NPCs so sorting out all the potential quirks in one week is impossible), but it should make NPCs more compelling opponents and more intelligent partners. TL;DR: NPC enemies and allies used to make randomized choices based on battle condition (current HP/Energy, cooldowns). Now they compare their options directly, recognize real kill opportunities, manage their resources better, and make smarter calls about when to heal versus when to attack in both 1v1 and 2v2 fights.

	An Epic New Challenger Approaches April 24, 2026 EpicDuel is LIVE with an absolutely stacked update with new content, returning rares, new quality of life features, and more! A New Challenger Approaches: CactusChan The most exciting aspect of this update is an epic new boss fight against 2025 Gifting winner CactusChan. As part of his grand prize, he requested a new, unique boss fight. This was a monumental task, but fortunately, CactusChan is always prepared with detailed documentation regarding his intentions and designs. This greatly helped us create the boss to his specifications much more quickly than if we had to guess through it. The result is the most ambitious prize request ever, but one we were happy to deliver since CactusChan has always been a respectful and generous representative of the community. It was a pleasure to collaborate to create this event, and I hope it is thoroughly enjoyed by all EpicDuelists. To encounter this NPC, visit his location in the Wasteland. You'll notice he has a shop option. Not so fast! You'll need to defeat him at least once to unlock the shop. In the shop you will find: Cactus Crusher P Cactus Crusher E Ionized Gamma Cactus Quasistellar Gamma Cactus In addition to granting access to the shop, defeating this boss offers a chance to receive the following drops: Ionized Gamma Cactus - 5% for 2 weeks Quasistellar Gamma Cactus - 5% for 2 weeks CactusChan (morph) - 1% for 2 weeks The Cactus Slayer achievement will be awarded to all who defeat CactusChan within the first week! If you want to learn about the rest of this EPIC new update, read on to the this week's Design Notes!

	EpicDuel Gifting 2025 Ends January 16, 2026 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). 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.
