Quick on his feet, he launched his weapon towards the Basher and thankfully, his ain was true, icing it over and deleting it completely and utterly (230!) as it's body shattered completely. His gun platform then shooting at the DarkMech and...actually hitting both times as it flailed about, falling over dead anticlimacticly (40*2), viscous ink spraying all over in front of it as it collapsed to the ground with a resounding thud, zenny, bugfrags and...chip data scattered across the grounds, a light black tint to all of it.

BasherBasher (Basher)

Basher viruses are the top-tier of the stationary gunnery viruses with an unmatched single-shot damage output among the normal viruses. They are also the rarest of their class, and appear only after battle 5. They also never appear in large numbers in a normal battle, meaning the ratio of total viruses to Bashers should be at least 4 to 1. The attack cycle of Bashers is 2 actions long, regardless of which attack they use. The first attack requires one action to charge before firing, and the second attack executes twice in succession. If they are stunned, they resume their attack cycle where it was halted once the stun wears off. They don't move, and don't dodge.

Area: Sharo

HP: 120
Primary Attack Damage/Effect: 60 Fire + Break + Panel Break x3 Targets, 1 Action Charge
Primary Attack Accuracy: A
Primary Attack Description: The virus selects up to 3 targets, and spends an action charging up the main cannons. It then fires a Magnum blast that reduces most Network constructs to ashes with a single shot, usually leaving a blast crater where they once stood. It may target empty panels and objects as well as enemies.
Secondary Attack Damage/Effect: 10 Fire x3 Targets + Double Attack
Secondary Attack Accuracy: A
Secondary Attack Description: Fires a 3-shot spread from the left arm cannon, then follows up with an identical attack from the right arm cannon just after. Each cannon shot requires an action, and both attacks must occur one after the other.
Element: Fire
Possible Rewards (Per Virus): Magnum1 (Rare), Zenny
Special: Immobile
- Main attack destroys panels, reducing enemy evasion by 1 Rank.: ICE'D
Ashuraid EXAshuraid EX (Ashuraid)

The Ashuraid are a new strain of 6 foot tall semi-humanoid viruses with bodies made of durable metal alloys. Ashuraid viruses lack legs, and instead roll around on a 1 ton solid steel ball 1-foot in diameter that rests in a cupola. Rising from the top of the cupola is an alloy pillar that supports their smooth and curving metal bodies. The key defining feature of Ashuraid viruses are their half dozen free-floating arm segments constructed of an indestructible alloy. Three of these arms feature metallic rights hands, and the other three feature metallic left hands, thus they are differentiated. In combat, the virus will ball these hands up into fists, and launch volleys of rocket punches at their foes. The virus' helmeted head rests upon a short metallic rod-like neck with their faces hidden behind a metallic faceplate. The exception being their mouths, which are generally curved downwards in a permanent frown while in the presence of Navigators. It is speculated that Ashuraid are a hacked derivative of the Bladia viruses spliced together with fragments of other viruses and a healthy dose of battlechip program data. This would account for their size, strength, and malicious nature. Where and how this was possibly accomplished is unknown. Ashuraid viruses move and dodge at better than average speeds, although they rarely choose to dodge at all. Ashuraid viruses are ranged attackers, and prefer to hold the range open against their enemies as melee range attacks with their Impacting abilities generally render Counters useless. Ashuraids attack by launching their six free-floating indestructible alloy arms at one or more enemies in volleys of 3 rocket punches. It takes 3 arms to execute a MeteorKnucke attack, 3 to execute a Counter attack, and all 6 to execute their GiantHook attack. It takes roughly an action of cooldowm time after executing a long distance attack for the arms used in the attack to return to the Ashuraid's side. During this time, they may not execute a Counter Attack if they do not have enough arms available. Ergo if all 6 arms are either being used in an attack, or in cool-down following an attack or counter attack, the Ashuraid cannot use a Counter. The rest of their attacks do not require their arms to return to their side. The return feature is automatic, and does not require actions to perform. Ashuraid can move while attacking or defending, and are allowed to counter while dodging if enough arms are available. Setting a counter requires an action while executing one does not. Ashuraid are extremely heavy viruses that will sink like the lead weights they are in liquid, and they know it. They will avoid liquid terrain entirely, if possible, and will never appear near these types of naturally occurring terrain for this reason. Only an Ashuraid's body is damageable. Striking an Ashuraid's floating arms will not damage the virus or the arms themselves, no matter what you hit them with. The Ashuraids will not intentionally defend themselves with their arms outside of their Counter ability, which is nullified by Impact. Do not abuse this.

Area: Sharo, NAXA

Secondary Attack Accuracy: S (Block) / B (Counter)
Secondary Attack Description: Uses a trio of fists to block a non-Impact attack while executing a double punch counterstrike. Only two Counters may be active at any given time, and the virus must be physically able to execute a counter in order to use one. Counters work at any range. An action is required to set this effect, but no actions are required to execute the Counter when triggered, as it is automatic. Impact attacks nullify this Counter ability.
Tertiary Attack Damage/Effect: 10 Null + Impact + Break + LifeSword Range x 2 Attacks

As the title states, I'm going goning on a hiatus for the time being. I've been a lot less active in recent months and have been unable to properly push myself into modding or even doing posts, additionaly, my laptop is PROBABLY on it's last legs and has been having trouble loading the site fully without a proper internet connection. So, I am sorry to do this, but until things change for my computer or internet (I literally am unable to access Discord and Youtube on my lappy without a proper connection it's that bad), I am gonna be stepping away from the site. I will try to finish up Rogan's current fight, but I can't continue with my modding until I get properly taken care of IRL. Again, I am extremely sorry to do this at this time, but there's really not a whole lot I can do to fix it.

Preparing himself as his shadow began to move towards the Basher DarkMech, the navi laid down his trap and readied himself for potential attacks alongside a barrier rising around his body. The RainGear would take the initiative as it opened it's mouth, a flood of towering pillars of water would begin to march across the field towards the plucky navi, who was quick to evade and avoid the attack, his trap activating as two counter attacks flew across the field and smacked the waiting Raingear in the face (10x2) as the DarkMech would shoot out a homing ball of energy that crossed paths with one of his clones, causing it to "poof" out of existence as quickly as it came into it from his trap.

Now was the navi's time to blast his foes in turn, gun in hand, a trio of explosive blasts rang out across the field. Cracking the paneling beneath two of his targets, one blast had gone awry and missed, inexplicably the Basher had been spared from this attack, the Ashurraid looking far worse for wear as armor plating came off it in rivulets as the ground beneath it was little more than rubble it could roll upon (120, defenses negated) while the Raingear was little more than a pile of ash (120) at the bottom of a newly formed pit. The DarkMech would proceed to turn to a Courseman, another ball of energy being sent out and hitting his other shadow double, sending it packing for the time being. Meanwhile, the Basher began to click its arm cannons, round being loaded into the main cannons as it did so, readying itself to blast with extreme prejudice against the navi. Said navi summoned himself a secondary shield to prepare for a potential onslaught against him, refreshing an already fully ready barrier in the meantime.

And then the onslaught began. Flexing it's arms, the monstrously powerful Asuraid began to swing each of it's six arms at Courseman, the six fists coming in a salvo of three each. The three gigantic fists crashing into the barrier as it just BARELY held up against the attack, flickering in and out of existence...as the second barely managed to miss the stationary navi, leading to him being spared a hit (20!+Miss). And just as quickly as the fists disappeared to get reattached to the Ashurraid in a moment, the Swordy-A would teleport right up in front of him, leading to a quick cleaver slash against his protective barrier, shattering it in short order (15, no overspill). Having a chance to breathe for a brief moment, Courseman quickly summoned his trusted partner in crime, his trusty needler turret. A salvo of needles being sent off towards all corners of the field, the Swordy was quickly dispatched (40x2), the Ashuraid would dodge one...only to get hit by the other (Miss+40) and die right then and there, whilst the annoying DarkMech would be given a duo in the side of it's body (Miss+40).

It was then the Basher finally finished loading in it's ammo. A resounding ca-click before a trio of explosions set off in short order, destroying a large portion of his helper's chassis, barely hanging on with it's internals struggling to stay inside it's body (60) as Courseman's shield just BARELY held on, even if the paneling beneath him had seen better days, his shield crumbled away to nothing after having done it's duty. It was again Courseman's time to strike, and he would do so with aplomb, a quartet of shots being sent out against his two foes, two striking against the DarkMech...the icy paneling beneath it melting away and completely freezing up it's systems, the virus flailing about as it could not see through the frozen condensation that locked up it's eye (10x2+Freeze1) whilst the Basher, amazingly, avoided both hits against it...stupid lucky Basher (Miss x2). And finally, a trio of needles rained down from the heavens, skewering the flailing DarkMech all of ONCE by some sort of dumb luck on it's part, bad aiming on Courseman's part...or maybe a combination of both? (40+Miss x2) Well, he had at least thinned out the crowd some, ink and goop beginning to leak from the wacky flailing metal sword virus in front of him, meanwhile the Basher was readying for another salvo against him and his partner.

Continuing along the network as he picked up his chip data, a deep blue ice would stretch further and further along the eyes Courseman could see, with very little to change the scenery. Though before long, Courseman would feel the ping of viruses in the back of his head, a few pieces of white "normal" paneling scattered about with a cracked tile and one that was completely missing from the field entirely. Walking forward from the edge of this field, a thunderstorm cracked out above Courseman's head, a black colored Swordy with a bloodied hatchet in it's hand began to float up towards Courseman from the other side of the field, light blue coloring having avoided being dyed this inky black color it was adorned with now.

Before Courseman could move forward to intercept it, a basher with a similar coloring would drop down from the top of the field, cockling a pair of high powered shotguns in it's hands as others began to dot the field in front of the navi...a Dark Mech EX and Raingear EX both in the same hurriedly colored scheme of black with their original colors shining through...and then an absolute UNIT of a virus known as an Ashuraid dropped down near the modified Swordy, a pair of giant spiked knuckles adorning it's hands, a similar bloody and rusty red coating the tips of each spike as it flexed at the navi...and finally, Battle Routines flared up for Courseman, escape still a possibility as usual, but only back the way he came in...

BasherBasher (Basher)

Basher viruses are the top-tier of the stationary gunnery viruses with an unmatched single-shot damage output among the normal viruses. They are also the rarest of their class, and appear only after battle 5. They also never appear in large numbers in a normal battle, meaning the ratio of total viruses to Bashers should be at least 4 to 1. The attack cycle of Bashers is 2 actions long, regardless of which attack they use. The first attack requires one action to charge before firing, and the second attack executes twice in succession. If they are stunned, they resume their attack cycle where it was halted once the stun wears off. They don't move, and don't dodge.

Ashuraid EXAshuraid EX (Ashuraid)

The Ashuraid are a new strain of 6 foot tall semi-humanoid viruses with bodies made of durable metal alloys. Ashuraid viruses lack legs, and instead roll around on a 1 ton solid steel ball 1-foot in diameter that rests in a cupola. Rising from the top of the cupola is an alloy pillar that supports their smooth and curving metal bodies. The key defining feature of Ashuraid viruses are their half dozen free-floating arm segments constructed of an indestructible alloy. Three of these arms feature metallic rights hands, and the other three feature metallic left hands, thus they are differentiated. In combat, the virus will ball these hands up into fists, and launch volleys of rocket punches at their foes. The virus' helmeted head rests upon a short metallic rod-like neck with their faces hidden behind a metallic faceplate. The exception being their mouths, which are generally curved downwards in a permanent frown while in the presence of Navigators. It is speculated that Ashuraid are a hacked derivative of the Bladia viruses spliced together with fragments of other viruses and a healthy dose of battlechip program data. This would account for their size, strength, and malicious nature. Where and how this was possibly accomplished is unknown. Ashuraid viruses move and dodge at better than average speeds, although they rarely choose to dodge at all. Ashuraid viruses are ranged attackers, and prefer to hold the range open against their enemies as melee range attacks with their Impacting abilities generally render Counters useless. Ashuraids attack by launching their six free-floating indestructible alloy arms at one or more enemies in volleys of 3 rocket punches. It takes 3 arms to execute a MeteorKnucke attack, 3 to execute a Counter attack, and all 6 to execute their GiantHook attack. It takes roughly an action of cooldowm time after executing a long distance attack for the arms used in the attack to return to the Ashuraid's side. During this time, they may not execute a Counter Attack if they do not have enough arms available. Ergo if all 6 arms are either being used in an attack, or in cool-down following an attack or counter attack, the Ashuraid cannot use a Counter. The rest of their attacks do not require their arms to return to their side. The return feature is automatic, and does not require actions to perform. Ashuraid can move while attacking or defending, and are allowed to counter while dodging if enough arms are available. Setting a counter requires an action while executing one does not. Ashuraid are extremely heavy viruses that will sink like the lead weights they are in liquid, and they know it. They will avoid liquid terrain entirely, if possible, and will never appear near these types of naturally occurring terrain for this reason. Only an Ashuraid's body is damageable. Striking an Ashuraid's floating arms will not damage the virus or the arms themselves, no matter what you hit them with. The Ashuraids will not intentionally defend themselves with their arms outside of their Counter ability, which is nullified by Impact. Do not abuse this.

Opening up the GMD without an Untrap, Courseman would begin to prepare for the worst...instead, however, the GMD opened up with a resounding "pop", hatch opening up in front of him with a dripping of...black, thick ink-like goop clinging to the inside of the cube and at his feet, a brief flash of a ghost-like virus on a string, wearing a yellow straw hat appearing for a moment, long enough to see what it was in detail, before a floating battle chip replaced the image and could be grabbed from within.

Rushing the Elemperor as soon as he re-protected the GMD that was practically next to him, the navi rushed towards the turban wearing lamp, slashing through it's hide once...and then twice...sending shards of ceramic all across the field in front of him, as well as small bits of lava that fizzled out immediately upon touching the icy field (60x2). The Meta virus was immediately fired upon, all three hits fizzling out against the aura as they all connected, the Momogra's shovel looking more like a hunk of melted metal than anything else afterwards. The Rapidfire would bring it's gun up as it turned to the Needler that managed to hit it thrice so far. A single beep from it's eye as it fired a quartet of firey blasts towards the summoned help, fireballs striking the poor thing twice across it's body as it showed off (10x2). Courseman, of course, quickly closed the gap as his help was attacked. A fist being sent out against the annoying thing, it tried to evade the attack...and instead got struck. It's aura immediately crippling beneath the frosty fist, striking it square on the chest (140+Freeze!), it's chest encased in ice as the snow beneath it triggered, melting to slush, as a second one missed, going just to the side as the navi took a quick break to heal himself (+30) in the interim. The virus began to freak out, clicking it's gun, running all sorts of diagnostics to find a way out of this...moving backwards to try and evade the navi...only for a third strike to further ice it up...and dent it even further with an imprint of Courseman's fist, knuckles and all (140+Freeze!) as the final fist...ripped the virus all across it's torso, sending the thing spiraling to the ground with a final hit (140+Freeze!), battle won...Courseman could begin to collect his rewards. Chip data intermixed with the zenny and bugfrags that had been scattered about...now what to do about that GMD?

Open Mystery Data? Y/N

Battle beginning and Courseman quick on his feet to begin summoning his barriers, one quickly shimmering up around his body without a second thought, as his clones split off from the whole that was the navi, he quickly wrapped the GMD in a protective bubble of energy to prevent it's imminent destruction, be it from the viruses or some of his own accidental attacks. The viruses would strike shortly thereafter...but not before Couseman managing to turn himself to the shadows, incorporeal form slowly moving back and forth as the Elemperor snorted out a blast of flames, the navi just barely having acted in time to avoid the damage from the blast itself...unfortunately, quickly replaced the Snow beneath his feet were immediately given a hotfoot that would pierce the form he had become, a light burn coming up as time went on.

The Dharma would quickly get in on this action, it's body twirling about as it knocked a puck out from beneath it's body, quick to reform it as it had aimed towards the navi himself, missing entirely as the puck rebounded once...twice...and disappearing having hit absolutely nothing from it's attack. Courseman capitalized on his incorporeal form, summoning his trusty gun platform from the ether to attack the targets from it's vantage point...unfortunately, despite his form, the lava burned beneath his feet for a minor amount of damage (5), as the gun platform rounded about and fired off it's twin needles, one missing the RapidFire as the other hit...into it's newly formed fire aura, the twin needles blasting hard into the Dharma (40x2) and, thankfully due to it practically up the ass of it, both hitting the Basher with little difficulty (40x2). The Metavirus, nonplussed at the attempt on it's life, took up arms against the navi, gun platform and his clones, quickly sending out a quadruple blast of energy towards the shadow that split off from the navi, all four shots penetrating and destroying the shadow outright without a second thought, a mechanical beeping emanating from the meta at it's displeasure. The Dharma, angry at the navi, launched another puck...this time...to be a dick...at the GMD...and it's puck not only missed, but dropped into the missing panel.

Summoning another ally to his side and getting another instance of hotfoot (5), the Momogora summoned to his side of the field in attack mode got to work, smashing it's shovel upon the back of the virus' body (15) and deleting it immediately upon contact. Right afterwards, angered by it's ally's deletion, another blast of flames would flood across the navi's body...nothing at all to be done for it as it did nothing to him or the ground beneath him. But before the viruses could properly attack him...he changed. Crossing into the gruff, rough and tough Meleeman, he could finally ignore that heat. The worst the lava did to his tootsies now was a hot water-like heat, not painful, but not exactly comfortable. A clacking of metal and heavy weaponry from afar, the Basher finally had it's chance, the two arms loaded up with energy and ammo finally, it began to fire upon the field indiscriminately...anything that was or was not Courseman-alligned had a hail of fire blasted upon them, shotgun shells falling out of it's arms as pellets blasted against the GMD (10) and his Needler (10x2), the navi himself completely unphased as the pellets phased through his body.

Sword in hand, Courseman rushed forwards at his target, though that the Dharma was dead, he would rush directly at the Elemperor. A flourish of blades cutting through the virus with utmost haste...and somehow, the gruffer Courseman had missed entirely even as he put the full power of his blade and being into it, his shadow, however, having much better luck as it immediately cut down the Basher (120!) and ended it's potential reign on the battlefield. The Meta, however, was very much angry. Throwing down it's gun and making a move to get in line with Courseman, it opened up a hole in it's chest. A blast of hellishly hot flames flooding down the field towards Courseman...the fires burning up ice and snow in such a way, all it left behind was a cracked, brittle paneling. Flooding through the field, it blasted through Courseman...and the GMD, which thanks to the protective bubble around it, survived. The field was being broken up quickly...and Courseman's functional invincibility against the virus' attacks was running out. The Elemperor would smirk at Courseman for the time being...it seemed to be deriving it's life off of the panel it stood on, the boiling lava soothing it.

-- Objects --
GMD: 15 HP (Near the Missing spot of terrain, in front of Basher) (Cracked)

Continuing along his path, Courseman comes across a fairly familiar terrain layout, a checkerboard pattern of snow and ice stretching across his sight...and with it, right near the middle of a drop off of the network, a half-frozen GMD spinning along as it did like all GMDs would before it. But before he could claim the network treasure...surprise of surprises...a Basher dropped down onto the network right in front of the GMD, facing the abyss of the network. Soon after, a Meta Virus rolled directly into field, a shiny cherry red RapidFireV2, pumping it's arms in front of the navi that waltzed upon it's territory...and soon after, a hockeypuck-like virus began to slowly move onto the field, bouncing between a pair of panels as it swung it's hammer around...meanwhile, an icy hot virus in the shape of a lamp would materialize onto the field, directly to the side of Courseman, sporting a turban and a small chunk of lava beneath it's body. Battle Routines began and he was thrust, yet again, into another fight.

-- Viruses --
ElemperorElemperor (Elmperor)

Elemperor viruses are Planeswalker viruses: their attacks and abilities all depend on the terrain they stand upon. Pay attention to the special sections of their stat sheets, as those will tell you what types of terrain must be present for an Elemperor to appear (this terrain requirement naturally overrides the Network's terrain selection). All Elemperor are immune to any adverse terrain effects... except damage multiplication, of course. They attack every action they are able to.

Area: Beach, Sharo, Yumland, Netfrica, NetVegas

HP: 100
Attack Damage/Effect: 15 (Elemental Rage) + Small Rage Terrain Change + Ground Attack

- Attacks assume the element of the terrain this virus sits on, and attacks create more terrain of the same type.: 100 HP (Lava) (South-West of the field, roughly in line with Courseman)
DharmaDharma (Dharma)

Dharma move and dodge at average speed. Their puck attacks rebound off of the edges of the battlefield as if there were an invisible wall there. They can rebound up to 3 times before finally passing off of the field or dissipating into thin air. The pucks pass through anything they hit except boundary walls, terrain, and friendly viruses. The pucks can not damage other Dharmas. This virus cannot attack while moving.

Area: Yoka, Netopia, Sharo, NetVegas

BasherBasher (Basher)

Basher viruses are the top-tier of the stationary gunnery viruses with an unmatched single-shot damage output among the normal viruses. They are also the rarest of their class, and appear only after battle 5. They also never appear in large numbers in a normal battle, meaning the ratio of total viruses to Bashers should be at least 4 to 1. The attack cycle of Bashers is 2 actions long, regardless of which attack they use. The first attack requires one action to charge before firing, and the second attack executes twice in succession. If they are stunned, they resume their attack cycle where it was halted once the stun wears off. They don't move, and don't dodge.

Area: Sharo

HP: 120
Primary Attack Damage/Effect: 60 Fire + Break + Panel Break x3 Targets, 1 Action Charge
Primary Attack Accuracy: A
Primary Attack Description: The virus selects up to 3 targets, and spends an action charging up the main cannons.

It may target empty panels and objects as well as enemies.
Secondary Attack Damage/Effect: 10 Fire x3 Targets + Double Attack
Secondary Attack Accuracy: A
Secondary Attack Description: Fires a 3-shot spread from the left arm cannon, then follows up with an identical attack from the right arm cannon just after. Each cannon shot requires an action, and both attacks must occur one after the other.

Possible Rewards (Per Virus): Magnum1 (Rare), Zenny
Special: Immobile
- Main attack destroys panels, reducing enemy evasion by 1 Rank.: 120 HP (Snow) (Two panels in front of the Missing terrain, in front of GMD)
RapidFire V2RapidFire V2 (RapidFire)

RapidFires are a combination of the Megalian-F, Cirkill, and OldStove viruses. They look like a Cirkill painted red with two arms instead of one. The virus is orbited by four flaming red option bits that assist it in attacking. The virus itself attacks close range opponents with flamethrowers, while the option bits launch volleys of fireballs at more distant targets or dash at enemies.... sometimes both.

Area: All

HP: 380
Element: Fire

-- Battle 7 Ready? Start!! --

Dodging backwards, and giving the Cragger King a fighting chance...for once...the Cragger immediately taking up the offer, sending it's giant meaty fist...down upon Courseman himself, the one in front of him immediately crushed beneath the fist with little trouble...for once again. The Basher, turning to see the original, would begin to load up for it's biggest blast, seemingly ignoring the Dynamite, the BoyBomb would begin to be pushed towards Courseman...and with it...his trap triggering immediately as the bomb began to move through the line and a blast of heat and shrapnel immediately shooting through the line, immolating the entire line of viruses that protected the King. A twitch on the king's face said it all, it knew it was completely alone now...it had avoided being immolated on top of everything else due to the distance from everything.

Finally the battle was wrapping up as a barrage of attacks were aimed directly at the Cragger finally, the two shots from Courseman flying off to smack directly on the virus (10+10/2) for minimal damage, the Momogra whacking it upside the head with it's shovel from behind (15/2) as well as a duo of twin needles imbedding themselves deep inside the tired, angry king (40+40/2), and finally, a charge shot smashing into it's chest, not just once...but twice. The defeated Cragger taking it's death with some dignity in the face of the navi. Finally, battle routines ended and with it...absolute gobs of Bugfragments would begin to pop up all amongst the field without hesitation, as well as zenny interspersed between it all.

King Cragger EXCragger EX (Cragger)

Craggers are pretty easy targets, given their size. They also move very rarely, and when they do they move slowly. Their dodge rate is abysmal. They generally rely on their HardBody defense, which reduces non-break damage by half, but doubles break damage. They have high attack power and AoE, but their accuracy is generally bad as their attacks are easy to follow and take time to deliver. Their attack is executed as a Drop Attack, and thus attacks from above, and not head-on. Targets caught underground within this attack's AoE range take an additional 50 Null damage that ignores all defenses.

Area: Netopia, Sharo, Hades Isle

HP: 160
Attack Damage/Effect: 60 Null + Break + Panel Break + WideAttack
Attack Accuracy: D
Attack Description: Slams the enemy and surrounding area with fist. This is executed as a Drop Attack, and is more damaging to targets below ground (IE: Submerged or burrowed).
Element: None.
Possible Rewards (Per Virus): GolemHit1, Zenny
Special: Hardbody.: DELETED
BombBoy EXBombBoy EX (BombLab)

BombLab viruses attack by summoning a huge cube-shaped explosive, called a BoyBomb. They push this bomb towards their enemies, using it as cover against incoming fire as they do so. It takes a BombLab virus an action to summon a BoyBomb, and another 2 to push it into attack range of the enemy. Once the explosive is in range, it will explode the very next turn. BoyBombs have StoneBody, and can be moved with special abilities, such as Knockback, Microburst, Pull, Gravity, and Telekinesis. BoyBombs will explode if physically picked up, however (EX: Rageclaw or similar means). Bomb Lab viruses jump, not teleport, back to their starting position after setting the BoyBomb.

Area: Netopia, Sharo, NAXA

Battle 6 Victory!
2400z, 52 Bugfrags

With his netop gone, field beginning to Courseman's bomb was quick to blow it's lid, an explosion rocketing across the entirety of the field, obliterating the other ice cube that sat on the field, along with all three of the viruses that had been just deleted (100), the Cragger King would withstand the blast pretty well, a fair bit of black soot upon it's body from the blast (100/2), the Cragger immediately running it's mouth off again at the navi, it's crown now melted and fused to it's head from the heat of the blast.

Shortly after, ditching his cross and getting himself ready to counter against the virus, with his helpers just...chilling out really, the Cragger lifted it's giant meaty hand and slammed down towards the field...aaaaaaand another miss from the Cragger King. Crushing the panel in front of the Needler, Courseman charged his buster and summoned another shield upwards towards where the Fists flew down at him...and with another attempt to smash Courseman...it smashed the clone that had been summoned...oh boy did it throw a MASSIVE shitfit about this, outright screaming incoherently at the navi as it began to throw a temper tantrum at the navi. Couseman charged a bit more, readying himself to evade an attack that would never come. Finally, the viruses reformed one final time, each one of them looking like they were about to die just by being breathed upon in the wrong way.
