Dev Bytes

-- NIGHTMARE INDEX --

• TYPE: ENTITY/GROUP
• TIER: 3
• METHOD: Bytes coordinate and work as a team to chase down victims, using their abilities and personalized weapons to kill. A sword, a staff, a hammer, and a scythe.
• ----------------------------
• These Bytes appear to contain great power, so much that they can pass through the barrier to Nowhere almost effortlessly. I pity whoever has to tell the Overseer about these things; they should not be allowed to exist with that kind of power.
• ----------------------------
• Byte characters created by Beyond, Nami, Darkgrey, and Have. “Served” created by Mucky. We also made this world!

-- EXTRA INFO --

• Music: Mucky - Served
• Death Tip (Etrigan's Melee): "You were killed by Etrigan's Gunblade's Wave. It will always halve your current HP, so try to avoid getting hit at all."
• Death Tip (Etrigan's Ranged): "You were killed by Etrigan's Gunblade Bullet. It's weak and uncommon, but it'll cover a very large distance."
• Death Tip (Squibbs): "You were smashed by Squibbs's hammer. He enjoys catching people off-guard, so always be aware when you're running."
• Death Tip (Little Witch's Darts): "You were killed by Little Witch's Darts. Strafing to any side is a good way of avoiding them."
• Death Tip (Little Witch's Beam): "Another victim of Little Witch's beam attack. Try and keep an eye out when you hear the charge up; and move away from your fellow sinners."
• Death Tip (Nugget): "You were taken by Nugget's Scythe. Try and stay out of sight, there's almost no chance of escaping him once he sees you."
• ----------------------------
• Dev Bytes consists of four terrors, three of which spawn at the start of the round and a fourth after 107 seconds. All Dev Bytes can be stunned; each for different amounts of time.
• Etrigan is the first byte that will spawn, creating the first two bytes to both sides of him. Etrigan will constantly chase players at a moderate speed. If a player is in range, he can either swing his sword to release a wave forward, halving the player's current health, or aim his sword and fire it, dealing low damage. When Etrigan is in melee range, he will swing with his sword, halving the player's health with each swing. After the player reaches ~5 health, Etrigan will kill them regardless.
• Little Witch is the second byte that spawns. Little Witch will actively chase players at a low speed, keeping a distance. Little Witch's main attack is charging their staff and firing a massive beam towards their target, instantly killing anyone hit by it. This beam lasts for around 2-3 seconds before fading.
• Squibbs is the third byte that spawns. Squibbs will patrol the map randomly at a moderate pace, and chase players at a high speed if they come too close to him. Squibbs will hit players with his hammer, dealing heavy damage. If a player is killed by Squibbs, a massive rock will appear where the player died, blocking off paths. Unlike the other bytes, Squibbs will only stay stunned for half as long.
• Nugget is the fourth byte that spawns, and only spawns after 107 seconds. Nugget patrols similarly to Squibbs, but chases players at an even higher speed than Squibbs. When Nugget reaches a player, he will swing his scythe rapidly, dealing low but constant damage. Nugget will not stop until their target is dead. Unlike the other bytes, when Nugget is stunned, he will stay stunned twice as long.
• Dying to Dev Bytes will prompt a deathscreen.
• ----------------------------
• If two Squibbs Bytes are active at once (possible via An Arbiter), both will create a rock if one gets a kill.
• Nugget spawning late is a reference to Have being the last to join development.
• When spawning in Midnight, Dev Bytes becomes Search & Destroy.
