Special Enemies

Enemies such as DOLLS and Alters will appear in the field. Be aware that some enemies have weaknesses or are strengthened when certain conditions are met.

DOLLS

Main article: Portal:New Genesis/DOLLS

It is a mysterious enemy that ARKS confronts. Some of them turn red when they are engaged or given a certain amount of damage, and their attack power increases and their behavior changes. The yellow core is a weak point, and you can do more damage by aiming and attacking.

Alters

Main article: Portal:New Genesis/Alters

Night time is an enemy that is stronger than usual. It is an enemy whose strength changes depending on the time of day, so if you think you are strong, you need to challenge during the daytime and avoid fighting.

Formers

Main article: Portal:New Genesis/Formers

Enemies that have similar apperance to enemies that have appeared in base PSO2.

Tames

Main article: Portal:New Genesis/Tames

Local fauna of the planet. Usually passive, will run away if any combat is attempted. A source of Meat.

Title-based Upgrades

Enemies can occasionally have a title before their names. This means that they have been upgraded in some way. Often times defeating them is harder, but defeating them yields better and unique loot. An enemy can only have 1 Title at the time.

Rare Enemies

Rare enemies are rare variants of normal enemies and bosses. Rare enemies are distinguished by their silver/gold coloration (armor plating on DOLLS/Alters, full body otherwise) and "Silvered" or "Golden" in their names. A Silvered enemy gets an extra +100% EXP, +100% RDR and +10% Seasonal Points, a Golden enemy gets double that in form of +200% EXP, +200% RDR and +20% Seasonal Points.

Rare enemies have the chance to drop the Silver Prim Sword or Gold Prim Sword when defeated; Rare bosses are guaranteed at least one drop, along with Silver Prim Armor+20 or Gold Prim Armor+20 as well.

In Exploration Sections, Rare Enemies tend to spawn in groups of 1-3, around the Enchanced Enemies that spawn, at the level of Dread Enemies. In addition, Rare TAMES tend to spawn at random in groups of 4.They are also guaranteed to drop Meat, with the chance to drop multiple Meat material when defeated, along with the Prim Swords.

In Combat Sections, the odds of a Rare enemy spawning increases with the PSE Gauge, with several guaranteed to spawn during a PSE Burst. A PSE Burst Climax will spawn boss as a Rare, unless a Megalotix will spawn. During a PSE Burst Forte, all enemies, unless they spawn as Megalotix, will be Golden, including the boss on Climax.

Megalotix

Megalotix are enemies that specialize in dealing high amounts of damage. They're distinguished by whitish-pink coloration on their body/armor plating (and in case of DOLLS, their normally blue/red water turn purple) and a title of "Elite". Such enemies get +33% more HP, +75% more ATK Power, however such defeating enemies grants +30% RDR, +200% EXP and +10% Seasonal Points. Futhermore, they give +100 N-Meseta to drop pool.

The aformentioned enemies drop C/Megas Fusier (with boss guaranteeing a drop of this capsule)and, rarely, Arms Refiner. Futhermore, at level 60+, they can also drop Combined Stat capsule such as C/Guardi Power or C/Arm Shoot(with boss of level 60+ guaranteeing drop of 1 random Combined Stat capsule), along with,rarely, N-Excube and N-Class Excube.

They appear in Combat Sections randomly, starting from level 35+. PSE Gauge just like with Rare enemies, increase a chance a Megalotix will spawn. They also spawn during PSE Burst, PSE Burst Forte and on PSE Climax, a boss can be a Megalotix as well.

Outside of them, they can appear in quests, like Mining Rig Defences or in Ordinal Tower.

Dread Enemy

Dread Enemies are exclusively-boss enemies that are a more durable variant of the boss. They're distingushied by their dusty/rusty/old apperance that diffirers slightly from region to region (Aelio Dreads have moss, Retem Dreads have sand dust, etc.) and a title "Battle-Hardened". They have +200% extra HP, +30% ATK Power, defeating them however yields extra +350% EXP and +50% Seasonal Points. Futhermore, they'll always spawn at the same level for the region, regardless of the actual level.

As a drop, they, on top of the drops from the boss, also can drop C/Dread Keeper capsule.

They appear exclusively in Exploration Sections, in specific locations per region. They have an exclusive icon on the map. It takes 5 min to firstly spawn in, and then they respawn every 5 min after killed. They are often accompanied by 2-4 mobs of the same level. Dread Enemies also have an aggro limit-they will not give chase too far from their spawning point and will return to their lair should you run away too far.

Golden Dread Enemy

An exclusive variant of Dread Enemies, this is not a Golden + Dread enemy combined but an exclusive variant. They are distinguished by gold armor/coat, that unlike Rare enemies, is very dulled and rusty. They share the Title with Dread Enemies, "Battle-Hardened". They have an enormous +500% HP increase, with their ATK power staying at +30%, but killing them grants +900% EXP, +100% Seasonal Points and, on top of that, +100% RDR.

On top of C/Dread Keeper capsule, killing it yields multiple amounts of Gold Prim Sword and Gold Prim Armor+20.

They can appear rarely for any Dread in the Exploration Section, however they will NEVER appear as a first spawn in that room, it will start happening from 2nd spawn onwards.

Gigantix

Gigantix are raid-type enemies that are extremely difficult to kill. They have a purple mist surrouning them with their coat/water color turning purple. Futhermore, they also distort sound when they're close enough. They have the title "Despaired". Gigantix have a +150% HP buff, but due to their 50% DMG Reduction, it makes your damage fall off drastically, futhermore they have +100% ATK power, killing them grants +500% EXP and +100% Seasonal Points.

In terms of drops, Gigantix drops exclusive Gigantix units, such as Reclair Armor or Berglin Armor, as well as C/Gigas capsules(1 of each type guaranteed at level 44+, otherwise 1 capsule of any type) and Photon Scales/Inferiums ×1-3(at level 49+,Region dependent), along with a weapon if one is added to the drops like Gunblaze Series. Drops can diffier depending on the region- if you want a lower rarity Weapon/Unit, you can drop it only in the Gigantix that introduced the item. As an example, an Aelio Gigantix can drop Zeont Armor , but it won't drop in other regions. However,later ones, such as aforementioned Reclair Armor, will drop in ealier regions.

In Exploration Sections, they appear exclusively during Storm-Type weather of the region. The room must be active when the storm occurs or else a Gigantix will not spawn. Gigantix in Exploration Sections are 4 levels above current cap making them nigh-impossible to kill without being at level cap! This also means that due to +80% ATK Power increase due to level diffirence, an Explore-Section Giga has +260% ATK Power, making most attacks one shots without high HP/DMG Resistance! A Gigantix has an exclusive icon on the map. It will dissappear if the Storm is no longer in progress and no one has been attacking the boss for a short while, making endurance critical to prevent failure!

You can also force encounters with Gigantix during Purple Battledia. This allows you to fight Gigantix at old levels. Please be aware that fighting Gigantix at a low level does mean their old dropping habits (like only dropping 1 caps instead of 1 per type) will occur. In addition, they can serve as an obstacle during Cannonball Strike.

Recon Gigants

An exclusive to Stia variant of Gigantix that shares the title of "Desparied" and the buffs. In terms of drops, they can drop everything aformentioned above but nothing is guaranteed and at a lower rate.

They can only appear in Stia Region's Exploration Sectors, but they appear almost as soon as room is created under any weather condition. They appear in group of 5 mobs, 4 Gazas-type mobs + 1 extra support. The new batch will spawn only upon killing the previous one. They will also stick together- if one of them chases you and catches up, rest of them will join, if they lose you, the stragglers will join back with the main group. Outer Mediola Sector 1 is unique in that it also spawns a Medium-Class boss with it and, if all Recons are taken out, a Vardias wll spawn as a Recon. Killing it does not differ from other Recons, other then higher chance for Gunblaze Series and guaranteed drops of Inferium ×1-3

During Random Challenge C of Geometric Labyrinth, enemies will spawn in that are similar in nature to Recon Gigants.

Ancient

An exclusive to Kvaris Raid-type enemy. They have a white aura surrouding them, along with looking similar to Kvaris Dread Enemies, using the title "Ancient". They possess +500% HP, with +100% ATK Power and +200% Down Resistance, making downing in this fight extremely unlikely. Beating them however grants +600% EXP and +100% Seasonal Points

In terms of drops, they, on top of regular drops, can drop Icicle Cubes ×2-4, along with C/Decold Standard II ×1-5.

They appear exclusively in 1 specific spot in the Rajyord Gorge Dangerous Exploration Section, on level 64. The egg that spawns in Ancient drops in 12 min after room creation and then 20 min after Ancient is killed. Once that egg is broken, the battle will begin. Be careful, as the boss arena has -50% Healing Reduction, making healing difficult. However, just like Dreads, they will not purse you out of their arena and will return to their spot of orgin. Of note however is that Ancients will spawn mobs after a while, so be careful when you're fighting them to not be suprised from the rear, along with them having attacks that can deal you statuses when they normally would not have.

Non-Title Upgrades

Enemies also can have upgrades that are not related to the title, even on enemies that have a title upgrade. They can stack as many non-title upgrades as they want on themselfs.

Enhanced Enemies

Enhanced Enemies are enemies that have a booster core sticking out of them. This booster core causes protection effect that grants the enemy 90% DMG reduction protection and +50% ATK power, along with immunity to Downs. The booster core has 30% HP of the enemy that is sticked into and it's seperate from the HP of the enemy. Once the Enchancer gets destroyed, on the spot enemy gets 40% HP worth of DMG(which often times also exposes Weak Spot of enemies,if hidden behind a part), along with getting a blue weakening aura that gives +50% Weak Point DMG, +200% RDR and +100 N-Meseta.

In terms of drops, they can also drops some unique weapons such as Obsidia Series and units such as variations of Vialt Armor

In Exploration Sections, they appear during Trials at the level of the section, and also they may appear randomly in a group of 1-2, with Rare Enemies, at the level of Dread Enemies in that section.

In Combat Sections, they start off appearing exclusively in Trials only, but from level 35+ Combat Sections, they can appear at random at anytime, including during PSE Bursts.

They can also appear during Mining Rig Defence:Aelio, during WAVE 7, if an appropriate Accident occurs.

Equalizing Enemies

Equalizing Enemies have a red vortex coming out of them with occasional pulsations. This vortex causes an Area Of Effect field that makes all enemies in the area have a protection field of Enchanced Enemies (90% DMG Reduction, +50% ATK Power, immunity to Downs), with the enemy himself having a permament 25% DMG Reduction and +50% ATK. Killing him causes all enemies in the area to be affected with the weakening field that gives +50% Weak Point DMG to them, with the enemy himself upon killing giving +100 N-Meseta

In terms of drops, upon kill Equalizing Enemy level 60+ drops with guarantee N-Class Excube ×1-2(of any kind), along with Combined Stat capsule such as C/Guardi Power or C/Arm Shoot(1x), Rarely it can also drop N-Excube. An Equalizer Enemy below level 60 does not drop anything extra bar more cash.

In both Exploration and Combat sections, an Equalizer can only spawn as a result of a Trial. The spawn of an Equalizer can be delayed as well- it doesn't have to appear instantly.

They can also appear in quests like Mining Rig Defence:Retem and Geometric Labyrinth.

Seasonal Enemies

Seasonal Enemies are enemy upgrade that appears only when event that gives Seasonal Points is active. Such enemies have an event-specific logo above their heads. This allows them to drop Seasonal Points and any multipliers affected. They can also occasionally override the regular weaknesses and force a event-spectific weakness attributes. Regional Mags can increase Seasonal Enemies appearance rate via Social Mag Boost during the event

In terms of drops, they'll drop a Seasonal-specific weapon for that event, along with potential event-exclusive materials.

In Exploration Sections, while appearance is at random, it is of note that Dread Enemies and Gigantix are guaranteed to be Seasonal Enemies as well.

In Combat Sections, they can appear at complete random.

They will also appear in ANY Emergency Quest, trigger included. Please note however, that Seasonal Enemies will not appear in Virtual enviroments or Story Quests.

Weakness Attribute

All Enemies in the game have a Weakness Attribute, shown below their name and level. The weakness attribute is determined by the type of enemy and the region it's in. A Tech or Attribute Weapon that matches the weakness will be granted +5% DMG boost, however, only Techniques will benefit from extra boosts from hitting Weak Points if they have any.

Weakness Attribute can be used against bosses to cause Attribute Downs.

Weak Points

Most bosses and some mobs have a Weak Point, often known as a Core if it's a singular one. It can be exposed or it might require breaking a part to access it. Hitting a weak point turns your DMG numbers blue. Weak Points usually give extra 1.5x multiplier to your DMG. This will also activate any effects related to Weak Hit DMG boosts.

Ranger's skill Weak Bullet allows for most (not all) spots in the game to also become weak points of 1.2x(1.25x if Reinforced) multiplier nature (stacked if the Weak Bullet is on a natural Weak Spot), activating all Weak Hit effects on that spot as well. There can only be 1 Weak Bullet per enemy, latest Weak Bullet cast counts.
