Ultimate art surge atlantean 
even worse, ultimate surge and ultimate array 
Hope you’re ready for rivals with surge!
ultimate pulsar could be hard to deal with!
Wait but- My rivals a poison shadow mage…
npcs have always had stat builds, its just that theyve been jank for the longest time
hence me saying “actual” (i probably shouldve said stat point allocations)
my snow n water mage that keep changing her third magic is gonna wreck me even more
my rival only has a spear 
Yours too? According to the patch notes, rivals are supposed to have a consistent weapon and then two others that they swap out with different ones each time you fight them, but mine has never had anything other than a single spear. Only two skills as well, can’t even use Sparrow Thrust.
Yall are brain cockroachs
i hope vetex addresses the level gap between players and rivals
it’s already pretty annoying as is but i can see some bullshit rivals coming from this
cough cough raise the fucking level cap i beg cough cough
Time for level 600 atlanteans with surge and pulsar 
At the very least tho, we get guaranteed charts. Would be actually op if you could just farm level 280+ Atlanteans for guaranteed legendary charts each.
(edit)
THESE MFs WILL HAVE ULTIMATE ART SURGE
WE ARE SO COOKED
what are you fighting level 600 atlanteans for
my rival uses
- and old katana, mainly flying slash
- ice magic, variable moves but usually a multiblast and powerful beam, ultimate changes
- sailor fist. who knows what abilities for it
my rival uses
-canon fist
People may hate this but I’m actually so happy npcs get access to rare spells/techniques, I always thought it was weird they never had any, especially since it’d make fighting them more interesting
pfft, my rival has been running iron leg thermo fist beserker for the past 100+ levels, he’s committed and he has basically everything it seems except for focus
also of course no rare techniques (god imagine level 260 mages with pulsar or surge 
)
From my personal expirience huntable npcs apperance is not “set in stone stats”
Like, its as if a modifier.
“Yeah, sure, your rival looks like samurai. It has a higher chance of getting magic and weapons, but does’nt mean that they wont get fighting style. Its just that magic and weapons have higher weight in deciding stats.”
