Description I'm nearly close to finally finishing up the huge list of enemies. And what better way than to reveal the Bullet Bills.

SCAN LOG

SCAN COMPLETE.
CREATURE: Bullet Bill. A small living missile fired from a Bill Blaster. Bullet Bills have been used for security and military purposes for thousands of years. The nature of their original makers has been lost to the ages, but Bullet Bills and their variants have spread across the Mushroom World, even as far as the Majestic Empire.
STATS: HP 6/ATK 3/DEF 0
ATTACKS: Bullet Charge
ANALYSIS: A Bullet Bill remains idle upon being fired from a Bill Blaster. On its next turn, it charge into a target and detonates violently, ending its existence to inflict moderate damage. Destroy the bullet before it can attack and eliminate its source before it can be replaced.

SCAN COMPLETE.
CREATURE: Bill Blaster. A large metal cannon that fires Bullet Bills. Despite its simple design, it can produce an infinite number of Bullet Bills - the source of its projectiles is still a mystery.
STATS: HP 9/ATK 0/DEF 2
ATTACKS: Bullet Blast
ANALYSIS: Instead of attacking directly, a Bill Blaster will spend its turns firing Bullet Bills. It may fire one or two Bullet Bills in a turn, but occasionally pauses for unknown reasons. Its sturdy frame is highly resistant to damage, necessitating the use of piercing attacks or high-damage skills. Destroying it is a high priority, as it can - and will - overwhelm you with Bullet Bills if left alone.

SCAN COMPLETE.
CREATURE: Alpha Bill. A robotic Bullet Bill built by Doctor Guy. It contains incredible amounts of electricity within its frame, making it a powerful threat.
STATS: HP 13/ATK 5/DEF 0
ATTACKS: Electric Charge
ANALYSIS: Alpha Bills attack the same way as regular Bullet Bills, spending one turn idle before delivering a suicidal charge into any enemy they choose. However, their electrical explosives can pierce DEF and carry a small chance of immobilizing their victims. Guard well to reduce the chance of paralysis, and remember to destroy the cannon first.

SCAN COMPLETE.
CREATURE: Alpha Blaster. A high-tech cannon that fires Alpha Bills. Scans indicate its exterior to be coated in miniature diamonds ionized by a localized electron field produced by its power core; as a result, its DEF is much stronger than a regular Bill Blaster.
STATS: HP 16/ATK 0/DEF 5
ATTACKS: Bullet Blast/Electrify
ANALYSIS: Alpha Blasters will always fire two Alpha Bills at once, and can temporarily energize themselves to damage enemies that make direct contact with their barrels. A sound strategy is necessary to defeating these weapons.

SCAN COMPLETE.
CREATURE: Omega Bill. A Bullet Bill designed by the Infinity Empire to protect the Tower of Beginnings. It is powered by Darkron energy, vastly increasing its damage output; exercise extreme caution against it.
STATS: HP 19/ATK 12/DEF 0
ATTACKS: Omega Charge/Big Bang
ANALYSIS: Apart from the standard charge, an Omega Bill can land in the middle of the battlefield to create a massive explosion, dealing gruesome damage to all opponents. Coupled with their constant replacements from Omega Cannons, they can quickly annihilate any foe - defeat them quickly and with extreme prejudice.

SCAN COMPLETE.
CREATURE: Omega Cannon. A double-barreled cannon with Hollow Crystals mixed into its armor. Tasked with defending the Tower of Beginnings, Omega Cannons are equipped with pistons that give their blasts extra power.
STATS: HP 23/ATK 0/DEF 7
ATTACKS: Bullet Blast/Fierce Launch/Crystal Defense
ANALYSIS: Both of the Omega Cannon's barrels can deploy one or two Omega Bills per turn, allowing it to quickly gain a numerical advantage in battle. In addition, it can use its pistons to launch Omega Bills at ludicrous speeds, allowing them to attack immediately or increase their power by 4 points. It can also cover itself with small needles of pure Darkron, damaging direct attackers with an additional risk of random negative ailments; on the other hand, this leaves the cannon unable to use its pistons for the duration of the defense. It is imperative that the Omega Cannon be destroyed immediately; use strong piercing attacks to penetrate its heavy armor before its barrage of Omega Bills destroys all hope of victory.

Well, given the HARDCORE nature of this game, we shouldn't be surprised to see the Bullet Bills making a return. What is with you and leaving the cannon-like enemies until near the end of your lists, anyway?

The new variants are interestingly designed, although it seems like the plate holding the Omega Cannon's barrels together could be a little darker-colored (makes it less conspicuous with the rest of the sprite). The later bullets' special abilities are clever takes on the classic suicide projectile - electric charges and the ability to hit all characters with enhanced damage? Yikes!

However, we have a few questions for you:

-How many Bullet Bills can the Omega Cannon fire in a turn?

-Do the upgraded Bills have any special effects on their attacks (piercing DEF, Anti-Flower, etc)?

-Do you want us to upgrade the tattle logs for these guys (or any of your other enemies for that matter)? We can always help a friend, after all...and this is one that could use some tweaking.

-What's the holdup on Chapter 43? You're moving rather slowly on the notes these days...is something happening on your end?

-WHERE THE F*** DO THE BILL BLASTERS GET ALL THEIR AMMUNITION?! They don't even have Darkron until the final version!

1.) They will shoot two or four


2.) if you want to add anything else go ahead

3.) yes upgrade these bullet bills log

4.) sorry I'll get to it

SliverEmperor In reply to TheSpiderManager [2012-07-10 02:13:50 +0000 UTC]

Ah, that makes sense. And their current strategies are fine - seems that they compensate for the lack of ailments by having a very high spawn rate of high-powered projectiles. Maybe the Omega Blasters should only spawn one Omega Bill per barrel if they use the piston launch, though...

Also, you never answered our question. WHY are you so slow recently? Is it college, work, or something worse?

...Do you need a motivator? We can always fire a few Rape Missiles at your gal pal...or sic Nevic on her. Or burn your Grape Soda. Whatever gets your inspiration rolling.

Figures that you would include the Bullet Bills. And you even included another double jointed blaster (just like in Wrath of the Ztar King).
