Epic NPCs are a feature added to a new type of Player Vs Player mode called Matchmaking, where players fight other random players that match their skill level and rank. 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 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.
Properties of Epic NPCs
Epic NPCs have several common properties:
- Each has 30% Attack Speed as well as 30% Run and Jump Speed. This enables them to react almost immediately, while recovering incredibly fast from hitstuns. This explains their ability to skill and awaken mid-combo. You should also prevent launching them into the air within combos, as they can easily use a skill or attack and counter you.
- Each have about 22% Dodge, meaning that over 20% Accuracy is recommended for fighting them.
- 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 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 NPCs, being monsters, will not pick up any items.
- Debuffs will affect Epic NPCs exactly the same way they do monsters in dungeons - for instance, Leg Wound will not prevent NPCs from dashing.
- Epic NPCs have extremely high resistance to elements.
- Epic NPC damage is highly impacted by Reduced Damage; 30% Reduced Damage will reduce all of their Special Active hits to 1%. Likewise, the damage you deal to Epic NPCs is also highly improved by Additional Damage.
- This is due to the fact that, against Epic NPCs, your attack and defense are lowered to a "default" value regardlessly of what you have equipped, with only those two attributes (additional/reduced damage) directly aiding you to have greater offensive and defensive powers, exactly how it works for Henir Challenge Mode, Gate of Darkness etc..
Encountering Epic NPCs
First, Epic NPCs will only show up in matchmaking Arena; they can appear in 1v1 and in 3v3. While not much is known about the algorithm in which Epic NPCs are generated, experienced players have speculated the following:
- NPC's can be found when no one queues for 2:30mins in 1v1 i and many others have tested it
other then that they can be found at any time of the day and year simply by doing pvp
- Rank does not affect your probability of getting NPCs; similarly, the rate of NPC appearances tend to be the same regardless of whether you do 1v1, 2v2 or 3v3.
- There are a limited number of NPCs at any given time available for combat; if one of the NPCs is currently in a game, they will not appear elsewhere.
- For this reason, NPCs are more likely when fewer players are playing than when there are more.
- Randomly, the number of NPC duplicates may increase at certain times or dates, drastically increasing the number of NPC encounters temporarily.
- NPCs only spawn in a limited number of maps; blocking the maps in which NPCs do not spawn has been known to have some impact on frequency of appearance. Counterwise, if the maps in which NPCs spawn on are blocked, they will be unblocked should a NPC encounter spawn.
- Random games tend to have a higher rate of NPC spawn over pre-made teams.
- It's been tested that if the player keeps cancelling a match they know is against a human player instead of an NPC, only willing to accept NPC matches, no NPC whatsoever will appear for that player, thus implying playing matches against players is some kind of requirement for having the chance to meet Epic NPCs.
- A player or team likely gets replaced by an NPC or NPC team only when both player sides already agreed to fight to begin with.

Friendly Elves are known treasure hunters that practice the mechanisms of archery. She can subdue an enemy from a long distance without getting hurt.

Practice those skills there! |

Name: Blood Colonel Edan Class: Blade Master Rank: SSS Edan uses a powerful bloody sword that is one of a kind. It is said that he made a deal with something outside the realm of Elrios. No one really knows if it's true or not, but his uniform used to be white. The red is from all the blood stains from his fallen opponents. There is an old Feita folklore about a cursed demon sword hidden in this region's caves. Could he have made a contract with the sword? |

His armor can be damaged but his claw can still tear enemies apart. One day, he encountered Edan in the forest and they fought day and night. No one dared enter the forest until the clashing sound of swords stopped. Now...there is a search party looking for Colonel Edan. |

|
Name: Code: Q-PROTO_00 Class: Code Nemesis Rank: SS Code: Q-PROTO_00 is known as one of the most powerful Ancient Nasod Prototype Drones. She failed to develop normal human senses, so instead she became one of the strongest Nasod combat troopers that ever existed in Elrios. She has the potential to do everything herself by installing a core of countless data to progress her self-image. She has the ability to maximize combat capability by destroying thousands at a time and making them disappear! After some time, some unknown spirit from Altera Core has revealed another hidden Ancient Nasod, 'Apple'. Apple is known to be reckless. Visit the Arena and find out what these Ancient Nasods are up to! |
|
|
Name: Ancient Nasod Princess Apple Class: Code Empress Rank: S Apple is the Ancient Nasod Princess that has been asleep for centuries but was awakened by King Nasod. Apple is very gentle and intelligent. 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 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. Apple seeks to gain more of the Elstone's power but realizes that Colonel Edan, the Bloody Officer, holds the power of El. She now hopes to use the modified Q-PROTO_00 to attack him. |
