AdventureQuest Worlds/Awesome

• The Hero gets one with at least every Chaos Lord fight. This includes:
  • Escherion: Using a mirror shield to deflect his inversion spell back onto him.
  • Vath: Throwing his sword at the Chaos Dragon Amulet and destroying both in the process -- but really wanting to skewer him with it -- and also riding on Stalagbite to destroy the Rock Roc
  • Kitsune: Fulfilling the Dragon Koi prophecy by jumping higher and higher up a waterfall of Yokai in order to close the rift with the Hanzamune Dragon Koi Blade, and then sending Kitsune back to the Yokai world by accidentally opening a rift with the sword while trying to hit his invisible form!
  • Wolfwing: If one chose the Good decision, the hero brings a speech to convince Wolfwing to be good. Plus they even point out that even if Wolfwing tried to unite the Werewolves and Vampires, he'd still have to worry about other invaders.
  • Kimberly: The epic fight against her Chaos Beast, then fighting off her band.
  • Ledgermayne: Pretty much standing up to him even when Ledgermayne pretty much destroyed the last item for the Arcane Staff.
  • Tibicenas: Using a genie's wish to depower him and then beating the ever-loving crap out of him.
• Then there's all the times when players crash the systems or lots of players coming in. These include:
  • The first ever Friday the 13th event which caused the game to SHUT DOWN for 10 minutes cause there was at least 29,000 players trying to get on at once.
  • The Mythsong finale with 31,000 players also counts.
  • Or the time all the players helped lift Battleon off the ground...twice!
• Artix in the Doomwood Saga. Normally a undead-slaying paladin, he's got Spirit Orbs channeling through him, can beat a dracolich without his Blinding Light of Destiny. That is because he is an Undead Slayer, whose job is to free the souls of those made into undead and help them find peace in the afterlife.
  • There's also his destruction of Vordred's armor of skulls through means of unleashing the power of all the Spirit Orbs held hostage by Vordred, since once Artix frees a Spirit Orb, it cannot be re-enslaved, no matter how powerful the would-be enslaver. This sets the stage for Vordred's ultimate defeat.
• Drakath gets one too. Crashing Shadowfall into the ground, and saving the Hero twice in the Arcangrove saga.
  • Any cutscene with Drakath in it can qualify actually. This trope's favorite? Here.
• A Real-Life example: Artix Entertainment is known for helping out charities and auctioned off a full Xan poster with autographs. It got sold for $15,000...but it was a scam and the person just wanted to do it for no other reason than to be a jerk about it. Then, a player came in and not only bought the poster for said price, but also gave an additional $2,000 for the whole thing. He was rewarded by meeting the group and a special customized avatar for his kindness.
• The finale for Doomwood: Adventure Quest Worlds brought out their best with 5 multiple endings, back to back boss fights and a sign that we haven't seen the last of the Doomwood characters.
• The end of the Shadowfall War has recently given a Moment of Awesome to Chuckles, the only undead that Noxus' magic did not turn against Gravelyn because he was Gravelyn's own creation, who freed Gravelyn and knocked Noxus off the Shadowscythe throne while still a disembodied skull. And Gravelyn rewards him for this after you defeat Noxus by putting him in Noxus' body!
• The Etherstorm War. A three-way war between good, evil, and Desoloth to decide the fate of Desoloth the Final. Evil won within 48 hours, with the other two factions stayed at least 20 percent behind evil throughout the entire war.
• Doomworld Pt 2's finale. We have Gravelyn unlocking the power of the Champion of Light and actually purifying the Doomblade. Then we have her announcing that she is the Empress of Shadowscythe and how she is going to make Vordred a soldier to the Shadowscythe Empire.
