So I've had this idea for a while now to create some EpicDuel meme artwork instead of just using regular memes. However, I wasn't really motivated to make it. As with anything else, if I'm not in the mood it won't get done. Well, I finally entered my artistic mode and felt like drawing something. It took about 3 hours to sketch and color on the computer. This is the result. Since Titan, founder of EpicDuel, likes to eat bacon cheeseburgers is addicted to bacon cheeseburgers I felt that this theme for the meme would be perfect.
I sincerely hope you all, Titan included, enjoy this little creation of mine. "Bacon makes everything better. Hungry? Eat some bacon. Got shot by a Stun Gun, hey try this bacon! Wife put you on the couch because you forgot your anniversary? Too bad pal, you should have given her some BACON!"
When they were first released as promotional items, the Botanical Battlegear weapons had mixed reviews. Most players disliked them because with the varying restrictions on skills, the 30% bonus support that the Growth Serum equipped Botanical Battlegear offered wasn't very effective. Often giving only a 2 or 3 point boost in damage.
However, at this stage in Omega, this particular weapon and it's core is proving to be quite effective in achieving some really high Auxiliary and Support based skill damage. Check it!
The overpowered support based attacks aside, can you imagine if you gave that +87 strength boost to a partner using a strength build? Feel free to give it a try!

Here's a quick preview of my first Flash animation movie entitled King Drekon's Epic Duel. Just like the name of my Facebook page. The movie centers around the feud between Overlord Drekon and King Drekon (a.k.a. Drekonian Emperor). If you're not yet aware, King Drekon is the son of Overlord Drekon and he aims to surpass his father and become the greatest warrior among all Drekonians. His ultimate goal is to overthrow his father and take the throne, becoming the official ruler of the Drekonian race. Does he have what it takes? We'll have to wait and see.
The project is still in production and since I'm working on it alone, with other projects to do, it may take a while to complete. So hopefully my die-hard fans can wait patiently for it to be released sometime before the end of the year. I'll keep you updated via Twitter and Facebook, so be sure to follow me on both.
Have you ever wanted to know your exact % chances during battle? So did I. A few months ago, I started working on a simple software that could calculate my Epic Duel % Chances with extreme accuracy so I wouldn't have to guesstimate anymore. Using the helpful Battle Mechanics guide, and simple Visual Basic coding, I was able to develop a crude demo to get the job done.
This demo version only supports Solo battles. I may complete the software to include Team battles if enough people are interested in getting the software. Watch the video on YouTube and don't forget to click "LIKE" to support it.
Here's a quick 4 minute demo of the software in action.
With my growing list of suggestions for EpicDuel, I feel it's appropriate to organize them here on the blog. This will also help me access them more easily for editions. Feel free to leave a comment about what you think. I would greatly appreciate your feedback.
Changes I "Would" Make To EpicDuel If I Could
Dynamic Battles - An assortment of changes to make battles more fun. NEW!
Replacing Boosters - Idea for items that can be used instead of boosters. NEW!
"Oh nooo!" If this was your first thought, be cool and let me explain. -.-' For a long time, Epic Duel made it's game available to play on other websites through social discovery platforms like HeyZap. In fact, I discovered the game while making a website at webs.com, one of the publisher websites that uses HeyZap to make Epic Duel available to it's users. Since I started this blog back in October 2010, I've been a HeyZap publisher and have been using it's widget to make Epic Duel available to my readers. Unfortunately, Epic Duel discontinued it's distribution through this medium. Therefore, you will no longer be able to register or play the game on this blog. If you registered your Epic Duel account with the widget on this blog, then you will need to get your Artix Entertainment Login. To do this, you can request your login information directly, or use the "Email My Login Now!" button in the widget. Be sure to get your login details asap, I will be removing the widget soon. Also, all "Play Now" links will be redirected to Epic Duel's official website.
OMFG!!! That's what you're gonna say when you see the new NPC Zedmyr. In the recent update, Gamma Evolution 1.1.3e, Nightwraith revealed that Epic Duel will be introducing Quests in the near future. Giving players the ability to collect items from defeated opponents and the environment. In addition, BAZAAR, the place next to Mirv has been opened to the public. Currently, what lies on the other side is none other than Zedmyr, the level 50 NPC. Does this mean that new levels will be opened up beyond 32? I sure hope so.
If you've come seeking the 11th clue, open your eyes to see the change in hue.
Another awesome update for the Epic Duel game features a brand new NPC (George Lowe), 3 new skills, and powerful new weapons. Here's a breakdown of everything new.
NPC: George Lowe - Boss
This guy is a force to be reckoned with. At the moment, he doesn't have a specified level, he's classified as Boss. That alone should tell you how tough he is. With a massive 520 HP, you better bring your A+ game when you challenge him. Located in Fortune City, Lowe offers a powerful inventory of weapons. If you have 1,000 varium to spare, you can hire Lowe to attack the opposing alignment. Earning you a lot of war kills and influence boost to your alignment in the Daily Faction Battle.
3 New Skills
Players have debated as to the helpfulness of these 3 skills, but one thing is for sure, they can come in handy during battle. Mages get the Assimilation skill which allows them to steal a percentage of their opponents energy while doing damage. Mercenaries get the Blood Shield skill which allows them to sacrifice a portion of their health and turn it into an energy shield. This can be used on both the user and his partner in 2vs2. Bounties get the Shadow Arts skill which allows them to passively increase their block rate, stun, and deflection by a certain percent. This is perhaps the best of the three.
What do you think about the new updates? Leave a comment below.
Halloween is almost here and Epic Duel just released some awesome new weapons with the Gamma Version 1.1.1a. Along with a ton of other cool features, you can now get 2 powerful new auxiliary weapons. The Ghoul Cannon (physical) and Spectral Blaster (energy). Click the image on the left to see more details of this latest release.
Just how powerful are these new weapons?
Try not to faint when I tell you that both these weapons have a bone breaking +36 damage. Not only that, but their stat modifiers rival that of weapons built for level 32's. You can equip either of the two after reaching level 28. Watch the video below to see the weapon specs.
Since the introduction of Epic Duel's Omega phase, all weapons of the same type are equal in potential stats. For example, all clubs have the same max stats, so does all swords, all staff, all blades, etc. So there is no longer any "best" weapons in terms of stats. The only thing that sets individual items apart - aside from their artwork - is their skill cores.
Some items come equipped with unique skill cores that give the user a slight advantage in battle. It's these unique cores that makes some items great and others not so great. Unfortunately, these kind of items only come with the 10k varium package so they're not exactly "varium free." You can still learn how to get free varium from my many tutorials.
For the weapons that are free - only cost Credits - there's no difference in strength because all can be equipped with purchasable skill cores that everyone has access to at VendBots. So the correct title for this post is Best EpicDuel Primary Weapon Cores - Varium Free.
Frost Shards - Reduces target's energy by 5 each turn. (lasts 3 turns)
Meteor/Plasma Shower - Unblockable attacks dealing 110% or Strike damage.
Primary Mastery - Adds 4% Critical Strike chance on normal Strike.
As Omega progresses, more skill cores are expected to be released. I'll try to keep this post up to date when possible.

Some of the coolest aspects of Epic Duel are the weapon upgrades. There are tons of powerful weapons to choose from. Although some of the good ones require varium, there are still a lot of awesome varium free weapons. In just a moment, I will reveal these weapons for each class of the game. So, if you want to make your avatar more powerful, you should read this.
Mjolnir - Mercenary
This weapon can be obtained after reaching level 23. It requires 30 technology and 33 support. But that's not what sets it apart from the rest. Although it's damage is only 20 (energy) and it has only 4 slots for weapon enhancement, it's stat modifiers are through the roof. This weapon boasts an impressive +5 dexterity, +10 technology, and +10 support. A must have for any mercenary between levels 23 and 30. I've even seen a few level 32's with the Mjolnir. You can buy it from Mirv for only 2,210 credits.
Caden's Wrath - Tech Mage
This weapon can be obtained after reaching level 28. It requires 37 strength and 31 dexterity. Again this weapon is made unique by it's stat modifiers. It boasts a staggering +24 technology. Enough to raise your resistence 6 to 8 points. Plus, it has an energy damage of 22 and 5 slots for weapon enhancement. This is the weapon of chose for Tech Mages above level 28. You can buy it from Caden for only 8,000 credits.
Omega Blades 2 - Bounty Hunter
This weapon can be obtained after reaching level 22. It requires 28 strength and 34 technology. Like the weapons above, this one is on the list because of it's stat modifiers. It provides it's wielder with +8 dexterity and +8 technology. Out of all the varium free weapons for Bounty Hunters, this has the best combination of mods. There is another weapon with +13 dexterity, but no technology so it didn't make the "cut". ^_^ Omega Blades 2 also does 22 energy damage and has 4 slots for enhancement. You can buy it from Talia for only 2,300 credits. It is recommended for bounty hunters between levels 22 and 28. After that, you may want to upgrade to something more powerful.
Your 6th clue can be found in the 4th word of this blog post title. It is also the first letter of my PrizeRebel level.
These weapons are all great for the sole purpose of making your avatar more powerful with stat mods. If you're looking for sheer power, enough to knock your opponent off their feet, then you will need to get weapons with varium. If you don't have any varium, or can't afford to buy it, don't worry. Read this post on how to get free varium.
I hope you enjoyed this post and found it useful. If you have any questions or know of a weapon that deserves to be on this list, please respond in a comment below.
After battling a few level 30's today, it was made painfully clear that I needed an upgrade. My previous character stats were looking pathetic for a level 27...soon to be 28. So, I paid a visit to Steve 2.0 and got myself an armor.
Which armor you say?
None other than Space Pirate E M. This baby cost me 15,000 credits, but was well worth the hole in my wallet. That's because the armor gives me +4 Energy Resistence, +4 Strength, and +4 Technology.
Ultimately boosting the damage of my primary and secondary weapons, as well as my energy resistence. Plus, I retrained my skills and added a new weapon.
If you've come looking for the 4th clue, you shall find it hidden in blue.
Here's what my stats look like with the upgrades.
Now, I'm ready for whatever level 28 throws at me. Well...except for 32 Mercenaries. They're tough to beat in 1vs1.
Watch the new upgrades in action.
What are some of your upgrades? Leave a response in a comment below.
Winning battles in Epic Duel can be easy and it can be hard. This all depends on many factors. From your current level, battle stats, and skill tree combination, to the battle type, opponent stats, strategy, and luck. Even the timing of starting a new battle could mean the difference between fighting a level 20 noob or a level 30 pro.
The average player, a non-varium user, will win only 2 of 3 battles with other players in his league. The statistics are even worse when facing a higher level player, about 1 in 5 wins. To save your time, energy, and boost your wins, I recommend using the method below.
This tip is very easy to do and best of all, it's 100% legal. So you don't have to worry about getting your account banned. It's a method that I recommend for beginners to skyrocket their wins, credits, experience, and battle tokens. When you're comfortable with your battle skills, you can combine this technique with traditional battles for more winnings and earnings.
Ok, enough talk. How do I perform this feat?
To perform this, you will need to fight the computer characters in the game. Knowing which to fight is very important. Below is a list of characters that you can challenge depending on your current level.
Level .. Opponents
-------------------------------
1-5 .. Light City Guards(lvl 1,3), Junker(lvl 2), Light Desert Guard(lvl 2)
5-10 .. Oz(lvl 10), Marauder(lvl 8) Light City Guard
10-15 .. Heavy Guards(lvl 10,15), Oz, Anya(lvl 15)
15-20 .. Junker 2.0(lvl 20), Talia(lvl 20), Mine Guard(lvl 18), Heavy Guard, Anya
20-25 .. Talia, Junker 2.0, Mirv(lvl 25), Mine Guard, Bio Guard(lvl 22), Heavy Bio Guard(lvl 25), Heavy Mine Guard(lvl 25)
25-30 .. Shadow Guard(lvl 28), Marauder Hulk(lvl 27), Mirv, Bio Guard, Heavy Bio Guard, Heavy Mine Guard
30+ .. The other players
For best results, I suggest you only challenge the characters that are either the same level as you or lower. You have a better chance of winning. Now that you know who to fight, you need to know when to fight.
Epic Duel only allow you to challenge a computer character 5 times per hour, and only 15 total computer fights per hour. I've found that it's best to start around 40 minutes after the hour (i.e. 10:40am). This will give you 20 minutes to engage in 15 battles with at least 3 different characters. At 11:01am, you can battle those same characters again. That's another 15 battles. If you win them all, that would be 30 wins in about 35-40 minutes.
HINT: Bio Guard(lvl 22) usually heals if his health fall below 20, sometimes 25. Your battle strategy could help you save time by defeating him without giving him a chance to heal. I'll leave it up to you to figure it out.
What are some methods you use to win more battles? Share your response in a comment below.
Battling opponents in Epic Duel can be a lot of fun... until your health is low. So it's wise to keep some health boosters handy when playing. You can buy health boosters from VendBots around the different cities of the game. Each booster costs 34 credits and you must be at least level 9 to get it.
But... did you know that you could save 10 credits for every booster you buy?
That's right, you can buy health boosters for only 24 credits. Currently, only two characters in the game sells them this cheap... Mirv and Kraggor. You can find Mirv chilling out in Barren Outpost and Kraggor in one of the underground lairs of Minetower.
