Runt Whiner design + fight progress (Patreon)

Heya!

I've been working on the Runt Whiner fight and I think I have a base for everything to work now.

The fight will happen in 2 parts. First part will be the usual, disguise side of Runt Whiner and once he reaches 50% he transforms into his revealed form and is fully healed. Even if you get him to 0% HP in his first form, he will do his transformation and fully heal.

Runt Whiner fight part 1

Battle sequence part 1

Chop

Cape Swish

Intimidating Presence

Triple Chop

Broad Cape Swipe

Regain Composure (loop back to number 1)

Chop skills now do less MAX HP% dmg and instead add Runt’s ATK to the skill’s power.

Chop

25% of target’s MAX HP + 1 → 10% target MAX HP + Runt’s ATK + 1.

Triple Chop

50% of target’s MAX HP + 1 → 30% target MAX HP + Runt’s ATK + 1.

Chop

Punch

In Runt’s part 2 of the fight he uses the same battle sequence, but the animations have been changed. Cape Swish and Broad Cape Swipe have been replaced with punching skills!

Cape Swipe → Punch

Runt’s ATK – Target’s DEF + 100% apply Blind state → Runt’s ATK – Target’s DEF + 100% apply Blind state

Broad Cape Swipe → Bunch Barrage

Runt’s ATK * 1.5 – Target’s DEF + 50% apply Blind state (targets ALL) → Runt’s ATK * 2 – Target’s DEF + 100% apply Stun state (targets ONE)

Think

Think of a way to fight against Runt Whiner. This skill gives you 2 new skills for the whole duration of the Runt Whiner fight. This skill is removed when used or when Runt gets below 50% HP for the 1st time.

Call Weak

Call Runt weak to halve his ATK until he uses his Regain Composure skill.

Anti-Heal

Inflict Runt with anti-heal, so he can't heal, until he uses his Intimidating Presence skill.

New icons.

States

New battler sprite art

----------

Runt Whiner battler sprite art. All edits to the design were made because they didn't work in pixel art format. I still think this looks nice! I will make edits to the face portion after I've done some modifications to the battleback sprites!

New skill animations

----------

This is a very quick one. The new Runt Whiner skills are mostly the same, just recolored to show the revealed colors! The punch animation is taken from Wulfrick and recolored.
