Enemies such as Dolls and Alters spawn in the field. Note that some enemies have weak points, and others will become stronger under certain conditions.

Dolls

Dolls are enigmatic enemies that ARKS battle against. Some Dolls can change their color to red during battle, or after receiving a certain amount of damage, to increase their attack power and change their behavior.

The yellow core is their weak point, so target it to deal more damage.

Alters

Alters are organic enemies that alter their forms during the night, often growing glowing red blades on various parts of their bodies.

Given these changes in strength, it may be necessary to only take them on during the day, and avoid them at when they're at their toughest.

Each Alter has a yellow eye on their body that acts as a weak point. Some Alters may require destroying armor parts before becoming a weak point.

Formers

Seasonal Enemy

SeasonalEnemy.jpg

During Seasonal Events, unique enemy variants will occasionally spawn with modified designs and alternative weaknesses. Seasonal enemies drop Seasonal Point Seasonal Points and additional rewards depending on the season, and the amount of Seasonal Points obtained depend on the type of enemy killed.

Several seasonal variants exist:

Special Seasonal Boss variants:

Elemental Weaknesses

Each Technique has one of the six Elements of Fire, Ice, Lightning, Wind, Light, or Dark.

Enemies have Elemental Weaknesses, so you can deal higher damage by using the Techniques with the Element that corresponds to the enemy's Elemental Weakness.

Some Enemies will go into a special Debuff state called Elemental Downs if you continue attacking using their Elemental Weaknesses.

Weak Points

Some enemies have Weak Points. When you attack its Weak Point, the damage display will turn to blue, and you can dish out more damage.

Some enemies will go into a special Debuff state called Physical Down if you attack their Weak Points.
