Quotes

• "Being a warrior isn't all about strength, you'll need defense and agility aswell to survive in these lands."
• "The blood of a true warrior surely is flowing through your veins."
• "There are creatures roaming in the world who were corrupted by the dark powers of Asthraltite, I am sure they carry some with them."
• "The Flame Razed Forest on this world isn't nearly as beautiful as the original one, you wont believe your eyes if you saw its wonderful landscape."
• "Would you consider yourself the master of this world? If so, what makes you so sure you earn that title?"
• "I suggest you fight fair, or else I will have to hit extra hard."
• "I can create a multitude of weapons and armor from Asthraltite plating, for a fight or two I could make you some if you'd like."
• "Those creatures flying around deep below us are no members of the species of demons I belong to, I prefer calling them 'demonic beasts', like most of my people."
• "Curses are a dangerous thing, you should prepare when fighting someone capable of cursing others, I suggest you take a look at Nuba's technology."
• "Why is it that I never see you blink, it kinda scares me, and that comes outside the mouth of a demon."
• "I'd tell you the story about the Keeper of Balance, but I don't know if it interests you, you probably don't even know about the planet I am from."

Clicking "Challenge" would consume one Challenge Medal from the player's inventory and begin the battle; If there was no medal in the player's possession, the fight would not start, and a message would tell the player that they needed a Challenge Medal.

Behavior

The Challenger would follow the player with high speed and charge at them if they got too far away.

Attacks:

• Fired shadowflare flames at the player, if in range.
• Flied horizontally and summons blades that move downwards, or summoned homing shadowflare flames
• Summoned a Disruption Sphere at the player's location that nullifies their velocity
• Summoned one of three circles:
  • Shadow Meteor: Spawns dark meteors that fall down and explode.
  • Shadowflare Barrage: Fires shadowflare flames at the player.
  • Circle Bomb: Spawns multiple circles that explode.

Shadowflare Leech

• If the player didn't wear any Lunar Sigil, each attack would inflict Shadowflare Leech, a stronger version of Shadowflare Flames which lasted until the end of the fight.

DPS Cap

• To prevent weapon abuse and cheesing, dealing more than 50k damage per second would apply Shadowflare Curse on every player for 15 seconds, indicated by a visual effect and the quote "I will make you suffer...".
• The Challenger would then switch to a 'rage mode' that regenned hp very quickly and increases his defense for 15 seconds.

Trivia

• The Challenger's theme was Midnight Rhapsody, which was composed by the artist Lordcakespy.
• The Challenger was replaced by Erazor.
• The Challenger can be usually referred to as "Noiseboi"
