The Peak of Balance on Artix Entertainment

TheAlonzoHarrris Reaches Titan's Peak

There's a new power to rival Titan on his home turf: TheAlonzoHarris! This new NPC is inspired by the Gifter and EpicDuel Streamer of the same name. By collecting the power of Delta V's epic legacy, he is offering a new shop featuring select Epic and Ultra Rare items from Gifting's past! This shop will rotate periodically so don't wait too long to make a decision if you see an item that catches your eye as some are set to disappear after this weekend! All of these items have Varium price, but many are also available for the new EpicDuel currency: Balance Tokens.

Weekly Missions and Balance Tokens

This update is introducing a new mission category: Weekly Missions. Starting today, we will introduce one mission a week that will remain available for completion until the next Friday. At that point, all progress will be reset, similar to Daily Missions. Each Weekly Mission group will offer the chance to earn a fresh Balance Token that can be used to purchase some of the rare items available in TheAlonzoHarris' shop!

The new roster of Weekly Missions includes:

Balance of Bounties
Balance of Time
Balance of Shadow
Balance of Power
Balance of Death
Balance of Courage

The in-game Mission interface will show the time remaining until the next Weekly Mission activates. The requirements should be reasonable to complete in a week, but that doesn't mean you should wait until the last minute! There will also be a new Weekly Mission Achievement that will track the number of completed Weekly Missions.

To give yourself a head start towards a rare item, you can get your first Balance Token with the Prizecode: BALANCE

New Rare Categories

If you didn't know, we are working on auditing the information currently available on the EpicDuel Wiki. To help clearly categorize certain items we are introducing new rare categories and colors. These new categories have the same rare score multiplier as Ultra Rare.

Heromart Rare -- Heromart exclusive items
Epic Rare -- Extremely rare items custom made for Gifters and Staff.

Updated color coding:

Seasonal Rare - Green
Limited Rare - Light Green
Rare - Blue
Ultra Rare - Orange
Legendary - Light Blue
Battlepass Rare - Yellow
War Rare - Red
Heromart Rare - Orange
Epic Rare - Light Purple

We've already done a first pass on recategorizing the rares, but since there are so many items yet to review, there may be some oversights that we will correct over time.
