Neo Pilot

-- NIGHTMARE INDEX --

• TYPE: PILOT
• TIER: 11
• ----------------------------
• Returning to the battlefield, now a memorial, the colours were the only thing she could remember of them. Though, what stood before her were fields of grey, littered with swords, flowers, and the cold winds of a dead world.
• ----------------------------
• She blamed herself for those lost; how could she not? She was their leader, the strongest, the one who was supposed to protect. Out of all her equals, she was the best, so why did she fail so badly?
  
  The war was won, but at what cost?
• ----------------------------
• Those who made it out were never really the same. Any one of the pilots who were there would tell it how it was; it was what they had to do for their king.
  
  It was the naivety of the newer generation that really got under her skin. Those "statistics" were people she knew, people she loved, people that were changed for the worst, and those who are dealing with the consequences.
• ----------------------------
• But she is still loved, despite it not feeling like it, and even knowing that she may have not savd everyone then, she still continues to try and save everyone now so that she may see colour in the world again.

• ----------------------------
• After spawning, Neo Pilot will summon two FOX Guards. Neo Pilot cannot be stunned.
• Neo Pilot will slowly walk towards players up until 230 seconds, where she will then break into a very fast sprint. Neo Pilot has a variety of abilities.
• Blade Combo
  Neo Pilot will attack twice with both blades, spin and then hit the player third time. Each hit deals moderate damage and has a chance to inflict bleed.
• Shockwave
  Neo Pilot will jump and smash the ground, creating an explosion and sending out a large amount of projectiles around her. The explosion deals minor damage and inflicts 6 seconds of paralysis.
• Slash + Shockwave Combo
  Neo Pilot will drag her blade across the ground and swipe it upwards, dealing heavy damage and sending out projectiles in front of her before doing her Shockwave attack.
• Flurry Combo
  Neo Pilot will continue running towards the player and release a flurry of rapid slashes dealing low damage with a chance to inflict bleed, often juggling players. She will stop for a moment after the attack.
• Scissor Slash
  Neo Pilot will slam her blades together, dealing heavy damage and releasing projectiles in front of her.
• Leap
  Neo Pilot will leap into the air and appear at her current target, doing her Shockwave attack.
• Once the timer has reached around 160 seconds, Neo Pilot will enrage, covering the map in a blue hue and becoming electrified. She gains a few new buffs to her abilities, with most of them either gaining extra range or releasing additional projectiles. FOX Guards will get disabled during this phase.
• Neo Pilot will also now occasionally launch large orbital strikes, one on herself and one on her target. These large orbital strikes take roughly 3 seconds to fire after appearing, and will usually instantly kill players; with a small chance to survive if a player has full health. The orbital strikes fire around every 8 seconds and can bypass protection a little bit, but also granting a short immunity if protected. Neo Pilot will remain like this until the end of the round.
• The FOX Guards are functionally the same as the FOX Squad FOX’s with a few minor differences besides their unique models. They will always target players, and have a much shorter stun time. They also are slightly larger.
