Epic NPCs are enemies that are exclusively encountered in place of other players while participating in Arena. There are currently 10 Epic NPC's that can be encountered, each of which is based on specific character classes. They are known to be very challenging, and possess their own unique properties. Defeating them offers greater rewards than when fighting another player, as well as the potential to obtain rare and powerful titles.

Properties of Epic NPCs

Epic NPCs have several common properties:

• Each has 30% Action Speed as well as 30% Run and Jump Speed. This enables them to react almost immediately, while recovering incredibly fast from hitstuns, and even awaken mid-combo.
• Epic NPCs all have a passive that permits extremely fast passive mana regeneration (approximately 10 MP per second), as well as heightened MP gain when hitting, and when being hit. To prevent them from constantly mana breaking, they have a cooldown on mana break installed in their AI.
• 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.
• 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, Wound will not prevent NPCs from dashing.
• Epic NPCs have extremely high resistance to all elements.
• Epic NPC damage is highly impacted by Damage Reduction; 30% Damage Reduction 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.
• In team matches, Epic NPCs will not target 'players' who haven't moved or attack during the match.

Encountering Epic NPCs

Epic NPCs will only show up in 1v1, 2v2 and in 3v3 Arena. While not much is known about the algorithm in which Epic NPCs are generated, experienced players have speculated the following:

• They can be found randomly at any time while playing 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.
• You are more likely to meet an NPC when you are doing PvP frequently.
• 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. However, NPCs can ignore if a map is blocked and still spawn in one of your blocked maps.
• 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.

Epic NPCs

Appearance	Introduction
	Name: El Search Captain Lowe Class: Lord Knight Rank: The power of El was once lost then restored back to Elrios by the legendary heroes. Lowe's great-great grandfather was one of these heroes. He perfected the skill "Mega Slash" and passed it down to his descendants. Lowe now focuses on training the new adventurers of Elrios and hopes one of them will be able to gain back the lost power of the Elstone.
	Name: Red Knight Captain Penensio Class: Rune Slayer Rank: Penensio is the leader of the Hamel army and is a skilled Rune Slayer who can summon and combine elemental magic with his runes in order to inflict status effects on his victims and constantly pressure them.
	Name: Ice Princess Noah Class: Elemental Master Rank: Don't let Noah's heavy armor deceive you. She is an Elemental Master in disguise! Noah has mastered the basic elemental skills of fire and can convert them all to ice skills. You will want to watch out for Ice Magic Balls when in battle against her. Noah also has the ability to freeze opponents that are right in front of her. Gather all the adventurers and come challenge her to see her magical powers!
	Name: Shadow Witch Speka Class: Void Princess Rank: Speka became the shadow witch princess because of her intense love and affection for darkness. Her favorite outfits must have black and purple in them, so that her dark personality manifests itself. She studies her spell book daily and sometimes takes on challenging adventures in Elrios. She wants to strengthen her darkness skills and bond more with Petite Angkor. Her love for darkness and evil surpasses even that of the glitter demons!
	Name: Green Forest Ranger Lime Class: Wind Sneaker Rank: Lime's purpose is to guard the forest and protect mother nature. She trains her combat skills in the forests of Elrios and focuses mostly on her kicks, which are proven deadly, though her skills with the bow are lacking. However, she can summon the wind spirit to strengthen her bow if she is in a tight situation.
	Name: Wind Shooter Amelia Class: Grand Archer Rank: Believe in the strength of the grand bow and try to follow Amelia's tactics. Friendly Elves are known treasure hunters that practice the mechanisms of archery. She can subdue an enemy from a long distance without getting hurt. Also, Amelia's arrows can be used to attack targets in a wide range. Velder is a good source of equipment and rare goods for adventurers and information on how to knock down your opponents. Practice those skills there!
	Name: Blood Colonel Edan Class: Blade Master Rank: 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?
	Name: Lord of Pain Valak Class: Reckless Fist Rank: Valak roamed around Velder in his heavy armor. In fact, we don't think he takes it off when he showers. He believed everyone was jealous of his powers and keeps it on in order to protect himself if he's ever ambushed. The demon that bonded into the armor has taken over his true personality. 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: 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: 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.
