The Hunters' Festival Ends

Nightwraith | Friday, May 27, 2022

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!
