Enemies

Throughout many of the stages and quests of the game, players are set to face waves of enemies of various elements, more often two or three. The ordinary enemies encountered are called Monsters (or Mobs).

In some situations, the enemies are stronger and unqiue from others, sharing many properities with bosses. Those are called Elite Enemies (or Mini Bosses).

For Path of Valor Challenges and Daily Challenges the term 'enemy' refers to Monsters, Elite Enemies ('Mini Bosses'), Bosses, Titans and Heroes (in Raids).
