Boss Protocol

A Boss Protocol monster is one that has a special flag set. Some monsters and all MVPs have this flag set. They have the following attributes:

• Various skills fail on them;
  • Mental Sensing
  • Steal
  • Snatch
  • Classical Pluck will not stop them from casting spells.
  • Provoke
• The knock back aspect of skills does not affect them.
• They detect the Hiding status and any other skill statuses that is similar to it.
• The time Ankle Snare holds them is reduced.
• Unaffected by status effects;
  • They cannot be silenced, stunned, poisoned, etc.
  • Exception: Some status effects can still affect boss monsters. For example, Quagmire, and the Divest skills.
• Affected by all items geared towards "bosses", i.e.;
  • Abysmal Knight Card increases damage to them by 25%
  • Alice Card reduces damage dealt by them by 40%

Example for common monsters with Boss protocol:

• Monsters of Thanatos Tower Lv.7 and above
• Owl Duke
• Owl Baron
• Kasas, Bow Guardians and Sword Guardians
• The Guardians inside WoE SE Castles

Mini Boss

Mini Bosses do not actually exist: this is a player coined term, to describe a rare monster, considered as such because they have set spawn intervals ranging from as quick as 10 minutes to as long as 2 hours unlike normal monsters that spawn instanteneously. Similar to an MVP but not quite exactly like, Mini Bosses are usually programmed under a Boss protocol, with some even being able to summon mobs. Unlike MVPs, these monsters are not FFA. However it is ill mannered to keep these monsters alive.

Monsters that people tend to classify as Mini Bosses are:

• Angeling
• Of Thanatos Monsters: Desperos Of Thanatos, Dolor of Thanatos, Maero of Thanatos, Odium of Thanatos
• Arc Angeling
• Cat O' Nine Tails
• Chimera
• Dark Illusion
• Deviling
• Dragon Fly
• Eclipse
• Executioner
• Gemini-S58
• Ghostring
• Gryphon
• Hellion Revenant
• Hydrolancer
• Mastering
• Maya Purple
• Mutant Dragonoid
• Mysteltainn
• Ogretooth
• Toad
• Ungoliant
• Vagabond Wolf
• Vocal
• Zealotus
