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 ApproachesApril 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! |
