To allow more people to participate in and have a chance to win the top prizes, we're considering splitting the tournament into 2: a 1v1 tournament and a 2v2/Juggernaut tournament. Rather than a week, these would run over a weekend to help maximize participation and prevent battle fatigue. See Ya Seasonals: Earlier this month we brough back all the seasonal items. Soon, they will be leaving again until they are re-added in later this year. Tags: Nightwraith

What would you like to order from the new chef NPC? Acatriel's Realm Very soon you will also meet the powerful addition to EpicDuel's art team in his very own realm! Will you be able to defeat him in combat in a friendly or not-so-friendly duel? Tags: Nightwraith

	June 03, 2022 Epic Homes Unlocked The tournament has ended, the awards are distributed, but EpicDuel's Summer excitement is just beginning! New Homes Browse the home interface to unlock 2 new homes!

	May 27, 2022 The Hunters' Festival Ends Today we end the latest EpicDuel Tournament, The Hunters' Festival, and honor the champions with a great bounty of prizes, including rare armors, weapons, and cores! Congratulations to all 241 players who participated and enjoy your hard-fought loot! Special thanks go out to Acatriel and Bido who helped craft such an enormous pool of amazing prizes! Attached to these new prizes are new cores. Because we didn't want to offer overpowered cores that people who did not participate in the tournament would never be able to earn, some of these cores are only aesthetically different from existing cores. Apocryphal Demigod's Wrath: At low HP, morph into a beast and deal 110% damage with 50% lifesteal. Apocryphal Demigod's Roar: Unleash a terrifying roar dealing 85% damage, lowering Rage by 50%. Apocryphal Champion's Wrath: At low health, mutate into a beast and deal 110% damage with 50% lifesteal. Apocryphal Champion's Roar: Unleash a terrifying roar dealing 85% damage, lowering Rage by 50%. Hunters' Retribution: Apply a curse, use auxiliary to detonate, adding 10% damage per turn the target was hit. Hunters' Eradication: Remove target's armor (1 turn), sidearm (2 turns), and auxiliary (3 turns). Hunters' Evocation: Summon void tentacles to snare prey, immobilizing them. Hunters' Judgement: Final judgement, dealing primary damage plus 12% of target's max Health (Max 500). Apocryphal Demigod Rift: Open a bloody rift, dealing Sidearm dmg plus 10% of target's max Health (Max 400). Apocryphal Champion Rift Open a bloody rift, dealing Sidearm dmg plus 10% of target's max Health (Max 400). This tournament was also a significant learning experience. There are aspects of tournaments that will likely change in the future. For one, a more focused tournament, limited to a single battle mode over a shorter duration would be easier to moderate and result in less player fatigue. Another feature we have been considering to increase the excitement of tournaments in the future is a Spectator mode. Still in the planning phases, allowing players to watch any active battle would provide lots of entertainment for players who don't have time to grind winds for most of the day but still wish to cheer on their friends! There is still a wealth of possibilities on the horizon to make tournaments an amazingly rewarding experience for all! New Hairstyles: In addition to a wealth of new combat items, this update introduces 8 new Hunter-inspired styles available now from the style-change shop! Tags: Nightwraith

At the conclusion of the tournament, please allow some time to update all the winning and participating accounts. It should go without saying but I'll reiterate that this tournament will be moderated and any players suspect of breaking the rules by botting or exploiting the 2v2 link feature to earn quick wins will be investigated and have their score reset to 0 if they are found to have violated the rules. Play safe, play fair, and duel on. Balance Changes Some of last weeks balance changed greatly overtuned Tech Mages. The following changes have been scaled back to their pre-update levels. Tech Mage NanoTech Shield: 10% damage reduction max Battery Backup: 5 turn cool down Plasma Bolt: 15% defenses ignored! Other Changes Over the next few weeks we'll be upgrading many of EpicDuel's oldest and most common animations to a new standard of dynamism and brutality. Some of these haven't been changed in over 10 years and Acatriel was up to the task of revamping then for a new generation of EpicDuelists.
