MagmaDragonMagmaDragon (MagmaDragon)

This high tier virus is only encountered after battle 5. A PotDragon's pot is stationary during battle, as it remains above the panel the virus appeared on until battle is over or the virus is deleted, and will not fall even if the panel below it should be destroyed. PotDragons have two main attacks, each geared towards either ground or aerial targets. When executed, the pot tilts or falls over, and the dragon charges at the enemy before looping back and returning to the pot. When threatened, they will duck into the pot, which is both indestructible and capable of shielding them from all damage and effects except those that manage to fly into the mouth of the pot. Even Beam Attacks and Blast damage won't leave a mark.

Greetings, Delta.EXE

Indeed, The GNA is happy to facilitate matches between navigators seeking expanded support functions and clients currently able to furnish support cores as payment for service. We've assess your data profile and matched you with a possible client who is able to offer a support core in payment for assistance. Please read the brief below.

Quote

The profile brief is an audio clip dominated by a bright, perky voice with a relatively high pitch, though not enough to make it shrill or irritating.

"Alright, alright, I messed up, I know, I'll do things the proper way, I understand..." The voice drops into a muttering complaint for a moment. "Excuse me for trying to have a social life... how's a girl meant to- [REDACTED]" There's an obvious cut in the audio before it picks up again.

"Ahem. Okay, so, I can supply low to mid level recompense for assistance with a few small scouting matters and some viral containment. I need to head to the WineGlass Cove private resort, located in the Beach network, so expect sun, surf and fair weather. Probably.

Assistance shouldn't take more than a couple of hours at most, and I can offer cash, a couple of rarer chips, one or two standard upgrade parts (digital variants), a support core if the navi is capable of using it, or something else of roughly that reward grade, depending on what you need. Do really well and there might even be a fun bonus in it for you!" Despite the brief being audio only, you can practically hear the wink.

-Prosopopoeia.lapin

Please respond if this match is suitable for you, and we will forward the relevant contact details.

"Well, can't blame those netbattlers, can you? If you got the guts to take on the viruses, you make bank pretty quickly...and spend it just as fast. But, you tend to get deleted before you truly make it big, like with those cybeast hunters...good passive income though." Suitachi would make a comment with a chuckle, plucking the release orders off the counter and going over the manifest once, twice and thrice, he looked up and down, before making a slow whistle at the order.

"My my, he's certainly been doing a lot It seems, 5 levels of navi customization space, 5 in processors. Alright then, let me just..." He spoke again as he approved the order, notarizing and signing his signature down. "Alright, that's done. You can send those orders out and make them available to the man. Thank you for your hard work, miss. Just try and stay safe out there." He said, handing her back the documents.

Rogan/Lyntael get: Navicust Expansions 21-25 and Processor Upgrades 34-38
Rogan lose: 48000z
Rogan is left with: 2235z

Turning around from another stocking session, Suitachi would quickly take a quick look at the shipping manifest. Looking over it briefly, the man would jot down his signature for the deliveryman and give him a nod. "Well busy today aren't we? Well, can't say I blame them huh. Just a quick transfer of money...and there we go. You're free to send those out to the buyer."

Suitachi gave the man a smile before turning back around and finishing what he was in the middle of, ironically, a few PUs and NCEs were being stocked onto his shelves in a tidy order. Funny that.

Rogan get: PU30-33 and NCE 17-20
Rogan lose: 32100z

As TempoMan zipped to the section of the counter that Jazz approached, he nodded and smiled at the greeting, but didn't seem to directly recognise the new-look hare. He grinned and brought forward a small data crystals, passing it across the counter.

"Must have been a while if you're calling them that, friend. I don't think we've used the term 'signature reset' in years... they're called Process Edits now. Works about as you'd expect though. Let me know if you..." He trailed off as Jazz devolved into a heated rant that was clearly not directed at him. He held his peace and then retrieved the second part of the order swiftly.
"I can get you one of those too, no problem. I... hope your hunt goes smoothly." He processed the payment in short order and did his best to offer the other navi a reassuring smile; friendly as he was, this clearly wasn't his business.

Jazz GET: 1 x Process Edit, Aqua Shot
Jazz LOSe: 1180z

"Them things? Sounds good, and no there is not much else to it, besides you havin to kill two of them variants to return the bounty, then you can get a new one. Other than that, you get max rewards at 50 kills...not that nobody has hit that tally yet, but everyone gots stuff ta do." He explained before printing out a second sheet for Delta, rewards for X kills and area of where to hunt them.

He finished before his hat printed out a list of viruses, names and rewards besides the names.

BigHatBigHat (BigHat)

BigHats only attack a max of once per turn. The rest of their remaining actions are spent moving or dodging, a skill in which they are only average at best. BigHats only attack a second time if the FlashBomb they threw on that turn is somehow destroyed before the end of the turn, and they have an action remaining for the turn. FlashBombs thrown by BigHats do not harm viruses at all when they explode. The effect of FlashBomb cannot be dodged, but it can be blocked by defenses you can take cover behind, such as objects and Guards. Chip generated barriers and auras also prevent the effect, but signature generated defenses of these types will not. As FlashBomb is a light based attack, it has slashing to pierce Shadow, and Seeking to pierce Invis (note that dodging alone does nothing, so Invis will not help here anyway).

PiranhaPiranha (Piranha)

Piranha viruses work as a hive-mind. They all move at the same time, attempt to detect targets at the same time, and once a targets is detected by any of them, they all attack that one target at the same time. Moving and searching for targets takes one action. Attacking takes another. Any Piranha just recovering from a status effect that prevents normal operation will resume acting in unison with the rest of the group.

NullNull (Null&Void)

Null&Void viruses are extremely dangerous top tier viruses. No player should encounter one until at least battle 6. Null&Void viruses move and dodge at an average rate by walking normally, but they also teleport before and after executing their melee attack. They regenerate half of their HP every action and their vortexes have the ability to instantly destroy objects and EJO or delete victims instantly with Gravity Crush. Their strategy revolves entirely around forcing an enemy into a vortex, and their attack choices will always be something that furthers that goal if possible. If not, they will settle for using objects and the terrain to damage or hinder the enemy. They are intelligent enough to use their abilities to cause a great deal more havoc than the average virus.

Area: Sharo, NAXA

HP: 100
Primary Attack Damage/Effect: Set 2x Panel Trap: (10 Aqua + Gravity Crush 50 + Object Erasure)
Primary Attack Accuracy: E
Primary Attack Description: Automatically creates two whirlpools on the field. Each whirlpool takes up one panel, and remains there until either something moves into it or until the end of the turn, whichever comes first. This attack may only be executed once per turn at the beginning of every turn, and does not require an action on the part of the virus. Whirlpools never appear over Missing Terrain and cannot be summoned on Broken Terrain. Terrain changes have no effect on whirlpools, at all, as they have been known to float in mid air over even Broken Panels once they have been summoned.
Secondary Attack Damage/Effect: (Teleport) then (10 Aqua + Impact + Knockback)
Secondary Attack Accuracy: B
Secondary Attack Description: Teleports next to an enemy or object, and pushes them suddenly. If it is an enemy, they will try to push them into the nearest Whirlpool, or at least towards it. If it is an Object, the virus will push it at the nearest enemy. They teleport back to their starting position after the attack ends.
Tertiary Attack Damage/Effect: 10 Aqua + Piercing + Altitude Change

Possible Rewards (Per Virus): GravityHold1, Whirlpool (Rare), Zenny

ForestDragonForestDragon (ForestDragon)

This high tier virus is only encountered after battle 5. A PotDragon's pot is stationary during battle, as it remains above the panel the virus appeared on until battle is over or the virus is deleted, and will not fall even if the panel below it should be destroyed. PotDragons have two main attacks, each geared towards either ground or aerial targets. When executed, the pot tilts or falls over, and the dragon charges at the enemy before looping back and returning to the pot. When threatened, they will duck into the pot, which is both indestructible and capable of shielding them from all damage and effects except those that manage to fly into the mouth of the pot. Even Beam Attacks and Blast damage won't leave a mark.

"If none a them spark yer fancy, yer free to reroll the list if you want."

Having his back turned as Henry ordered, Soryu would quickly pluck the subchips up in a few motions before turning and putting them on the counter in a neat little stack, taking Henry's payment and giving him back his remainder. "Your business is very much appreciated, thank you for coming and please come on back."

Henry lose: 1000z
Henry get: 4x MiniEnergyPack and 2x Untrap

The Wrangler bobbed up and down, watching while its compatriot decided, then began to print out the second confirmation sheet.

"Well, you're sure as spit goin' 'a find more swords 'n you can swing a lasso at! We've got a major upsurge of the fiery blighters across three networks today! Good huntin' to yer navi!" Wrangler didn't seem inclined to make any extra reminders about the turn-in qualifications to the other prog - he probably assumed it knew everything already. The data sheet slid across the counter as he tipped his hat again.
