The Zaishen Elite challenge mission is a PvP training simulation, in which a team of 4 players is pitted against an opposing team of computer-controlled opponents. The opponents are the same as in the Zaishen Challenge, except that fights are now random, and the teams increase in numbers up to 12 opponents with consecutive wins.

Mission information[edit]

Reward[edit]

Unique kill 40

You can earn up to 6,000 Balthazar faction per day from the Zaishen Elite. Faction earned in other simulated PvP (i.e. Training Arena or Zaishen Challenge) will be deducted from the early rounds. Faction earned in non-simulated PvP does not count against this limit. The faction cap resets every 24 hours from when you last started any of the simulated PVP.

Notes[edit]

  • You must win 5 games against different types of teams in Zaishen Challenge to unlock Zaishen Elite.
  • Your character does not have to be level 20 to be able to enter.
  • The Smiting Monks do not appear in this mission, even though they were in the Zaishen Challenge.
  • It is possible to detect the Illusionary Weaponry Team prior to the beginning by looking at the Score Chart. They temporarily lose health due to Illusion of Weakness, which is visible in the health chart.
  • Be aware that on some maps, most notably D'Alessio Arena, an NPC of the opposing team will occasionally spawn outside of their team's gate and will rush your team early.
  • The opposing team rushes at your spawn so you can easily beat this mission by taking one or two trappers in your party.
  • Faction cap raises as you progress: 2k (from rounds 1 through 4), 4k (from rounds 5 through 7), and 6k (from round 8 and forward).
  • After every 3 consecutive wins (2nd, 5th, 8th, etc), one extra opponent will join enemy party, capped at 12 enemies (23rd round).
  • The following table shows faction gained through flawless consecutive victories:
