Some enemies will have a title before their name or will appear with a special part as equipment, which alters their stats in some way or another.

Enemy titles

A "titled" enemy will have a prefix before its name that denotes it has altered stats in some way. For instance, the boss enemy Nogleth can spawn in Central Aelio during certain weather conditions as a Malevolent enemy, granting it the final name of "Malevolent Nogleth" and thus enhanced specs.

Rare enemies

Enemies titled as "Silver" or "Golden" are generic rare enemies. This doesn't affect their combat performance, but it increases the EXP you gain from defeating them as well as increases their Rare Drop Rate.

Silver

EXP earned +100%
Rare Drop +100%

Golden

EXP earned +200%
Rare Drop +200%

Megalotix enemies

Enemies that appear in Combat Sectors starting with level 35 zones. They deal more damage and have slightly more health than normal enemies, and may drop items such as C/Megas Fusia and C/Sta Might.

Elite

HP +33%
Damage Dealt +75%
EXP earned +200%
Rare Drop +30%
Drops an additional 100 N-Meseta (not affected by boosts)

Dread enemies

Field bosses that roam in Exploration Sectors at a much higher level than the enemies around them. They boast higher stats and attack power than normal boss enemies, and are the primary source of augments such as C/Dread Keeper V.

Veteran

HP +200%
Damage Dealt +30%
EXP earned +350%

Golden Veteran

HP +500%
Damage Dealt +30%
EXP earned +1250%
Rare Drop +200%

Note that a Golden Veteran enemy will still only have the title of "Veteran" despite being Golden.

Gigantix

Powerful boss enemies that appear during certain weather conditions, or as the target enemy of quests such as Aelio Devastators.

While a Gigantix that spawns is a DOLLS unit, a Starless interrupts the battle in some areas.

They're a much higher level than the enemies that appear around them, so you may need to avoid them depending on your current level and equipment.

Defeating them rewards you with Giga Strugments, as well as augments such as C/Gigas Might IV.

Malevolent

HP +150%
Damage Taken -50%
Damage Dealt +260%
EXP earned +500%

Recon Gigants

Roaming packs of Malevolent enemies. They patrol specific regions of specific sectors, and appear regardless of any weather effects. Upon defeat, they quickly respawn.

They're a much higher level than the enemies that appear around them, so you may need to avoid them depending on your current level and equipment.

They drop similar items to Gigantix bosses.

Malevolent

HP +25%
Damage Taken -50%
Damage Dealt +260%
EXP earned +500%

Ancient enemies

Bosses that appear periodically in the ice cave within Rayjord Gorge that are even more powerful than Gigantix. In addition to dealing high damage, players that can endure their attacks may be inflicted by the Freeze status.

While powerful, players currently do not choose to battle them outside of completing Title Rewards due to their loot primarily being the materials for the Reyaar series, as well as C/Decold Might-type augments.

Ancient

HP +500%
Damage Dealt +260%
Status Build Rate +200%
EXP earned +600%

Aberrant

Used for normal Starless enemies that appear during the exploration. While they have fewer effects than Altered enemies, they often have damage dealt bonuses.

Used by Nex and Ams during Anniversary events.

Elder

Malignant

Used by Dark Falz Aegis in the quest Halphia Lake Interception Part II.

Tyrant

Tyrant enemies are bosses that appear in specific, controlled circumstances.

Tyrant Halvaldi Vera - Defeat Dread enemies in Rwh Maqead
Tyrant Dryverus - Appears as a trial in Crimson Realm sectors

Enemy Equipment

Enemies may occasionally spawn in with parts attached to them that fundamentally change how you approach them in battle.

Enhanced enemies

Enemies equipped with an "Enhancer" core. Until destroying the Enhancer, the enemy will only take 10% damage from all attacks, be immune to Down buildup, and will deal 50% more damage.

After destroying the Enhancer, the shield will be removed, their damage returns to normal, they can be stunned easier, and the enemy will take an additional 50% more damage to attacks on their weak points, after accounting for the weak point damage modifier.

The Enhancer core itself does not benefit from the effects of the shield, and counts as a 1.2x weak point. Enhancer HP is roughly 30% of the target enemy's HP, and damage dealt to it does not count towards the enemy's main HP pool nor towards any enrage thresholds. However, upon destroying it, the target will take 40% of its max HP in damage, which also does not contribute to enrages.

Upon defeat, Enhanced enemies drop an additional 100 Meseta.

Equalizing enemies

Enemies equipped with an "Equalizer" core. The core will regularly release pulses of energy which apply the Enhancer buff to nearby enemies, but not to the Equalizer enemy itself. Defeating the Equalizing enemy removes this buff, and applies all the demerits of the Enhancer debuff to all affected enemies.

The Equalizer enemy itself deals 50% more damage and takes 25% less damage. Upon defeat, they drop an additional 100 Meseta.

Bomlode

Enemies equipped with a "Bomloder" core. While not normally targetable, the Bomloder activates when enemy is stunned and can be damaged. The Bomloder is a 1.2x weak point modifier and has about 4% of the enemy's max HP. Damage dealt to the Bomlode does not count towards the boss's main HP pool, but upon destruction will deal 3% max HP damage to the boss.

If not destroyed before the stun ends, a 1000 Power Notation area attack occurs around the boss. This attack cannot be dodged nor blocked outside of the invulnerability gained from using a Photon Blast.

Growzard

Enemies equipped with a "Growzer" core. The Growzer is a 1.2x weak point modifier and has about 20% of the enemy's max HP. Damage dealt to the Growzard does not count towards the boss's main HP pool.

While active, the Growzer will add a damage buff to the enemy that grows stronger the longer the core is attached.
0~5 seconds: 1.5x damage dealt
5~20 seconds: 2x damage dealt
20~60 seconds: 3.6x damage dealt
60+ seconds: 10x damage dealt

When the Growzer is destroyed, the damage bonus is removed and the enemy will take 50% more damage for 25 seconds. After this debuff expires, the Growzer immediately regenerates.
