BESTIARY

Not a separate enemy. Any of the four can roll elite from 1:15 onward, up to about 8% of spawns by 8:00.

NORMAL

VS

ELITE

• It behaves exactly like the normal version. An elite charger still plants and strobes, an elite spitter still stops to shoot. Nothing new is added, so nothing new is needed.
• Hold the right thumb on it. At 6x health your ball drifts onto whatever spawns closer and it never quite dies.
• It is SLOWER than its base type and worth 5x on both XP and souls, so kiting one while you clear the wave pays for itself twice over.

Not a fifth creature. It is one of the four you already know at four times the size, and one lands every 5:00 for as long as you last. There is no final boss and no last one.

5:00CHARGER

10:00SPITTER

15:00CHARGER

···EVERY 5:00

• Same behaviour as the enemy it is built from. The boss charger closes on you slower, but the dash still comes in at full charger speed. Do not read a slow approach as a slow dash.
• Hold the right thumb on it. Your ball shoots whatever is nearest, and that is never the health bar you need to move.
• Every normal counter still works. PULSE knocks it out of a wind-up and now shoves you clear as it fires, and the wrecks still eat a boss spitter's shots. A committed dash still ignores your Chill Field.
• The two bosses no longer weigh the same. Once the run's health growth is factored in, the charger at 15:00 lands at about 5,300 health and a spitter boss at that point would be about 12,000. Another arrives every 5:00, alternating, for as long as you stay alive.
