Spamton NEO Fight Simulator

Quick start

The frame stays quiet until you click it, which is what hands the keyboard to the battle. Movement and menus share the arrow keys. Z accepts a command, talks through a line, and fires, and holding it builds the heavy round. X backs out of a menu, hurries letters, and slows the heart. During the speech, Q jumps ahead. Press 1 a single time if you want the little healing angel.

tripoid also wrote that Z held together with Enter flips on a furious setting, where big shots pour out and his attacks punish you harder. In Deltarune the little healer is F1, once, for about half the party's HP. Here the author put that angel on the 1 key, still once.

Before the Knight

Chapter 2 hides this boss behind a shop deal in the Trash Zone: fetch the EmptyDisk under Queen's Mansion, seat it in the basement machine, and watch him seize the body. The wires are still there. He reaches for your SOUL anyway. Rude Buster is Susie's answer to the grab, and the carts are where the three of you actually trade hits.

Yellow shows up for the first time in this battle. The heart faces the boss and shoots to the right, a tap for a light round and a held Z for the heavy one. Carry that aim onto the Knight later, except there you hold Z to slow down instead of to fire.

How to live through the patterns

Treat the opening heads as targets: erase them before they pass or they spit bullets behind you. Trucks of mail, loose heads, and the odd bomb come next, then faster. While that chained heart sweeps, plant yourself on the left edge and spend shots to cut the swing short.

Pipis are the blue eggs; pop them for a scrap of TP before they touch the box and hatch a cloud of tiny heads. Phones grab the outside of the box while a head lobs bursting rounds, and a charged shot shoves that head away. Eat a hit on that pattern and the phones start sliding. The face is a side target you shoot but cannot walk into: eyes, nose, and mouth each fall faster to a charged round than to a tap.

• SnapAll is worth lining up, since one turn of it moves mercy by 7 percent. A lone Snap is smaller, and it grows only when the other two are already down.
• Healing can stay on Ralsei while Kris and Susie cut strings, and a defend fills TP when the bar is empty.
• Supercharge is the expensive offensive act, 32 percent TP, and it shortens the charge on the next 20 heavy shots.
• Sixteen percent TP buys Ralsei's FluffyGuard, a pair of fluff balls that lap the heart. Freeze them with cancel when you would rather they hold still, and accept the slower drift.

Leave him unhurt if you want the chain-heart and the last spectacle to feed mercy. The moment he takes damage, those same moments start carving his HP instead. Cross about 30 percent HP or about 70 percent mercy and the chain heart gets frantic, a phone call spends a turn smacking him with his own tiny heads, and Power of NEO follows. Power of NEO blacks out the edges, sucks from his side of the screen, throws copies of his face, and finishes with a slab as tall as the bullet box. Extra hits on his face skip him forward. If he is already around 10 percent HP or 90 percent mercy, that spectacle can start without the earlier steps.

How to dodge

In the real fight the heart is yellow and faces right. Tap confirm to shoot. Hold it to charge a big shot. Stay on the far left of the board. He sits on the right. Before you reach about 30% HP or about 70% mercy, the order is flying heads, spam mail, the heart on a chain, the phone call, gripping phones, the face, then the chain heart again.

• Flying heads: shoot them. They give TP. If one survives, it fires.
• Spam mail: trucks of mail, heads, and bombs. The second pass is faster.
• Heart on a chain: shoot the heart. If you never shoot it, that attack lasts about 24 seconds. Destroying it gives 3% mercy when you have not damaged him, and 3% damage when you have. The third version adds small hearts you can ignore.
• The call: blue Pipis bounce in. Shoot them before they touch the edge of the board, or they burst into tiny heads.
• Gripping phones: a big shot pushes the head back. Take a hit and every later version adds moving phone waves. Take no damage and you keep the easy version.
• Eyes, nose, and mouth: each part has 16 HP. A normal shot does 1, a big shot does 4. A part you destroy stays gone the next time.
• Power of NEO: a giant NEO breathes in, then fires copies of his face and a shot as tall as the board. Shooting the face speeds him up. If you deal no damage, it gives 5% mercy.

After the first list, it loops: a harder set of flying heads, the face, the phones, a second call, then faster mail. Cross about 30% HP or 70% mercy and you get the frantic chain heart, a free turn where the call backfires on him, then Power of NEO. At about 10% HP or 90% mercy, Power of NEO starts immediately. SnapAll gives 7% mercy. Kris and Susie snap while Ralsei heals.

Holding Z and tapping Enter for endless big shots makes him furious after five uses in the real fight, from version 1.06 on: more damage, harder attacks. This project copies that furious setting. The little healer is the 1 key here, once. In the real fight that heal is F1, about half the party's HP, and not during an attack. Arrows steer. Tap Z to shoot, hold Z for the heavy round, and X slows the heart.
