The world of Arad has faced countless catastrophes, but none quite as lingering—or as lethal—as the touch of the 6th Apostle. NEXON and Neople have officially unleashed the latest endgame catastrophe for their iconic 2D beat-em-up MMORPG: Dungeon Fighter Online (DFO).
The “Delezie of Plague” Raid is here, and it’s not just a new dungeon; it’s a full-scale assault on your sanity and your gear score.
Face the Source of Malefic Energy
For years, Delezie has been a looming shadow in DFO lore, known for the “Black Plague” that decimated Noire Ferra. Now, players must dive into the Sunken Depths to confront the Apostle in a climactic battle that serves as the centrepiece of the current season.
This isn’t a simple “hit the boss until it dies” encounter. The raid introduces a high-tension strategic choice system, emphasising how your party approaches encounters.
Key Raid Mechanics:
- The Malefic Energy Gauge: You aren’t just fighting a boss; you’re fighting the clock. If the gauge hits 100%, the raid fails.
- Plague Reversal (The “Tab” Gimmick): A new tactical layer where players must time their special gauge (activated with the Tab key) to neutralise bosses. Catching a monster when its eyes glow red triggers a massive damage amplification window.
- Dynamic Island Warfare: Combat takes place across multiple islands (Crimson Mine Village, Sanctuary of Stars, etc.). If a boss destroys an island, the Malefic Energy spikes, forcing teams to constantly rotate and defend.
New Gear: The “Black Plague” Progression
What’s a raid without the loot? The Delezie update introduces a tangible new power ceiling with Delezie Legacy Weapons.
| Weapon Tier | Description |
| Primeval Rarity | Dropped directly from the “Delezie: Last Act” raid. |
| 3-Tuned Primeval | Enhanced versions of the base raid drops. |
| Black Plague Primeval | The ultimate upgrade, achieved through the new Delezie Legacy system. |
This progression ensures that clearing the raid is only the beginning of your journey toward mastering the new meta.
The Dark Templar Awakens
It’s not just the bosses getting a makeover. The Dark Templar class has received a significant Renewal. Neople has reimagined the class around the dark authority of Usir’s knightly order, sharpening her battlefield presence with:
- Enhanced Visuals: New animations that capture her ghostly, knightly aesthetic.
- Skill Overhauls: Underused abilities have been tuned for the current endgame meta, making her a formidable choice for the new raid’s mechanics.
- New Level 100 Skill: Dies Irae, providing the class with a much-needed burst tool.
Limited-Time Events & Rewards
To celebrate the launch, NEXON is hosting the “Subdue Delezie” Event. For the elite among you, the Week 1 Top 20 Clear challenge offers exclusive rewards for parties that tackle the raid at an HP multiplier of +200% or higher.
For those still catching up, the Oracle’s Equipment Deep Research event is currently live, helping players farm Legendary and Epic gear more efficiently to bridge the gap to raid-ready status.
TechMash Tip: Keep an eye on the “Plague Reversal” gauge. Syncing your Tab activation with your party’s “Sader” (Crusader/Enchantress/Muse) Awakening is the difference between a 10-minute struggle and a 10-second “Delezie Window” burst.
Dungeon Fighter Online is available to play for free on PC via the Official Website.
