-- Slugger Series Viruses --

Note: Sluggers are midgety 3' tall viruses, which look like little boys dressed up in appropriate shirt and pants. It wears oversized shoes and a large baseball cap that obscures its face. It wields an unwieldy-looking wooden bat taller than itself, about 4' long. They have stickers on their bats, which denote numbers 1/2/3 in big bold lettering according to their version. EX viruses have the number crossed out. DS viruses wield a metal bat without a sticker.

Sluggers attack by moving up to their enemies' backsides and giving them a good whack. They need a pretty good run to do this, and as such, have a one-rank Movement Bonus while pursuing enemies. Dodge is unaffected. When they are in melee range of their enemy, Sluggers alternate between using their Microburst attack and their Reflect attack between actions, starting with Reflect, unless interrupted by any status effect that prevents this pattern. The Batter (V3) versions and DS version are excluded from this pattern, and may attack or defend according to the moderator's discretion.
