Nexus-9

A turn-based boss battle. It is here because it is fun to build and fun to play — it is not a metaphor for on-call, or shipping, or anything else. The rest of the site does that job.

How it works

  • Slash is free, so you can always act. Everything else costs energy, and you regain 15 EN at the start of each of your turns.
  • Every hit that lands builds a combo, worth +8% damage per stack. Healing resets it to zero — that is the actual decision in the fight.
  • Chain Bolt lands three times, so it builds three stacks of combo for one turn.
  • NEXUS-9 crits about 18% of the time and can knock a stack loose when it connects.
