However, what do Epic NPCs have anything to do with this? When a player searches a player through this Matchmaking feature, there is a rare chance of encountering an Epic NPC. An Epic NPC is not a real player but an AI that uses advanced techniques and combos. There are currently 10 NPCs, each representing a different class which will use the class's skills along with exclusive and special properties. NPCs are widely known to be extremely challenging, but offer great rewards for defeating them, which include special titles, an abnormal amount of Rank Points (20-30RP), Arena points and exp. Even if one loses against them, a substantial amount of Arena Points and experience will be given, regardless if no kills were made. | ||

Special [[Titles]] are | Special [[Titles]] are obtained after beating a specific Epic NPC for a certain number of times. These titles are difficult to obtain, but the stat boosts obtained from the titles are known to be some of the best in the game. | ||

* Epic NPCs all have a passive that permits extremely fast passive mana regeneration, as well as heightened MP regen when hitting, and when being hit. To prevent them from constantly mana breaking, they have a cooldown on mana break installed in their AI. Their passive mana regeneration is set at approximately 10 MP per second. Some NPCs, however, despite this mana bonus, will still have some difficulty in regenerating mana - Edan is an example, because he constantly burns mana thanks to his repeated abuse of Shadow Step and 99% chance of Emergency Escape. | * Epic NPCs all have a passive that permits extremely fast passive mana regeneration, as well as heightened MP regen when hitting, and when being hit.

* Epic NPC loading is similar to the dungeon system; a host is chosen (the oldest player in the room) and will act as a temporary server to the other players. Thus, while the oldest character in the room will have minimal lag against the NPCs, the other characters may find the NPCs to be fairly laggy. When making an Epic NPC hunting party, it is wise to chose a host who has good ping to the other players, as well as a strong and stable connection. | * Epic NPC loading is similar to the dungeon system; a host is chosen (the oldest player in the room) and will act as a temporary server to the other players.

No one really knows if it's true or not, but his uniform used to be white.

His armor can be damaged but his claw can still tear enemies apart. | '''Rank: SS'''<br>Valak roamed around Velder in his heavy armor. In fact, we don't think he takes it off when he showers.

Now... there is a search party looking for Colonel Edan.</center> | One day, he encountered Edan in the forest and they fought day and night.

She was quietly hiding at Altera Core until it was time to come out. However, the Ancient Nasod Code: Q-PROTO_00 was not able to rest due to the El's explosion. Now, Code: Q-PROTO_00 is aware of Apple's existence and is headed to [[4-6|Altera Core]]. Apple intends to use all of the power remaining from the El and use it against Code: Q-PROTO_00 to modify and control her code. | '''Rank: S'''<br>Apple is the Ancient Nasod Princess that has been asleep for centuries but was awakened by King Nasod.
