This is the official thread for Epic Week 2017 adventurers to discuss battling their way to the booster rockets!
This is a multiplayer game. Almost every monster is too strong for a solo warrior to defeat -- you'll need to coordinate with your friends and other warriors to make sure you all attack the same monster at once.
There's a new round every 5 minutes. Your stamina and (most) monster HP resets to full at the beginning of every round. Team up to defeat harder monsters before the round ends!
Monsters frequently spawn near the rockets, preventing access to the construction efforts.
The rockets can only be made ready to fly by activating all 10 "nodes" in their flight computers. Therefore, warriors may wish to coordinate with those in the Riddle topic to clear the way only when the Riddle team thinks they have an answer to a node figured out and need to try it.

The following is what I have been able to gather so far about all enemies combat-relevant items. If you see something I'm missing, please let me know! If I'm not around, please PM me!
Need weapons or healing items? Visit The Epic Armory!
Visiting here about every half hour may earn you bonus items!
Note: Missing an attack may destroy scrap!
Please try to keep repairing your ray guns! We don't get many of them, but they are one of our best weapons! Other weapons can be repaired this way, too.
GrandFinale offered up a suggestion on how to prioritize taking out enemies based on HP, allowing us to get the hardest out of the way first and leaving us with more weak enemies if they aren't cleared by respawn!

With the weight of duty on its shoulders, Heimdall pulls last year's armaments from its display case.
We got this, guys!

Wooooo!
I already got two party hats of healing if that does anything?

With a stern look of determination, Lucreé unlocks her mythical safe. They soon smile upon the stored weapons left over from the year before. "Hello old friends. We meet once again."
The hype is real. Let's rock. *cocks ray gun*

They heal you after you've been injured in battle!
The first wave of alien invaders was mowed down really fast, but don't worry, pleeeeenty more are on the way 
I can't take or donate anything from the treasury in the Armory group, just as a heads up. Love it if someone could give permission to do that real quick!

Hmm? I did join the group already. That's strange...
The Alien Larvae seem really vulnerable to ray guns.
So... how do I play this? Sorry, this is my first Epic week so I'm really clueless bout this! ^^'
*brandishes butter knife* ??? ready to tussle
Another wave is incoming in about five minutes! 
Oh god that last one was annoying. Kept regenerating to it's full HP every time I get close to killing it.
*Licks wounds anxiously.*
*Licks wounds anxiously.*
Random question: has anyone tried out last year's weapons on the new enemies? Or is that even an option?
Last year's weapons will work!
You mean the ray guns and rapiers and stuff?
*pumps her fist* Good to know we can still use up the last of those. Pretty sure there was an axe in the armory...
the Fiendish Xenobeast is resistant to ray guns and weak to axes. (i'm not sure what kindsa damage types there are.)
