Another fantastic boss from @HeartFelt that I've slightly edited! Schanz, the MasterMime Example: Level: 150 Power: 4 Location: The Void: April Fools Challenge Monster Lean: Defensive (0.75 Input/Output) Element: Wind Resists: Fire: 0% Water: 100% Wind: 0% Ice: 50% Earth: 130% Energy: 120% Light: 50% Darkness: 50% M/R/M = Low MRM Focus, higher HP to compensate (relies on ‘Barricade Style’ status for MRM boost) Stat Distribution: STR: 0 DEX: 300 INT: 0 END: 250 CHA: -100 LUK: 300 Effect: Standard Boss Boost, Soft Damage Cap, and Freedom. Also possesses an additional +30 Mental Status Immunity This battle consists of Schanz, and two ‘companions’ - extra sets of arms (‘Methode de Chapline’ and ‘Volonte de Marceau’). You can select any of these to prioritise While both Methode de Chapline and Volonte de Marceau are alive, Schanz cannot receive any damage* * Schanz swiftly parries your attack with a perfectly-timed barricade! The Mime’s Normal attacks are three hit Ranged Wind. This deals reduced damage to attempt to afflict the player with Silence (1 turn), which can be resisted at a -20 bonus*: MonsterLvl vs PlayerLvl Major: MonsterDEX vs PlayerEND Minor: MonsterLUK vs PlayerLUK *You feel an invisible rope silence you! You manage to avoid being silenced! If Schanz has enough SP, he will spend it to use a six-hit Wind Magic attack. This disables your Pets/Guests*: *Schanz traps your pets and Guests in an invisible box! While Volonte de Marceau is alive, the boss gains the ‘Mime Art: Barricade Style’ status, which is essentially a renamed permanent Defence Boost. This monster acts as a booster (i.e. does no damage, solely applies this effect)* * Schanz’s upper arms brace for impact! While Methode de Chapline is alive, the boss gains the ‘Mime Art: Slapstick Style’, essentially a renamed Elemental Empowerment. This monster acts as a booster (i.e. does no damage, solely applies this effect)*. * Schanz’s lower arms prepare to strike! If Methode de Chapline is alive, and Schanz does not already possess the status ‘Mime Art: Slapstick Style’ (+[x]% outgoing damage), he gains it for five turns at the end of the attack. * Immediately after both Volonte de Marceau and Methode de Chapline have been defeated, Schanz gains ‘Invisible Box’ (renamed ‘Barrier’) equal to his Damage Cap for two turns* *Mime Art: Impenetrable Fortress! Appearance: Schanz resembles an old-school black-and-white striped mime, but with some unusual aspects. Most notably, he has four extra arms extending out of his back in the same color scheme (these can be either actual flesh or spirit arms), and his mime face appears tranquil. He is wearing a silk opera hat, beret, or bowler hat (this can be randomized), and black, curled hair can be seen underneath the hat and running down the sides of his face. Volonte de Marceau and Methode de Chapline are not separate monsters. For his standard attack, Schanz appears to manifest an invisible rope, and swings it at the Hero with the force of a whip, leaving sonic cracks in the air. For his SP skill, Schanz’s six arms launch into a series of rapid-fire palm thrusts from a distance, which all appear to slam into the Hero. This attack is performed by the creation of several small, invisible barriers, which are then each sent flying at the Hero. There is no animation for the deaths of Methode de Chapline or Volonte de Marceau. When Schanz is defeated, his face becomes far more expressive as he mimes being struck in the heart by an arrow, attempting to pull it out, before collapsing to the ground. Description: The art of Miming is one that bestows tremendous power upon its practitioners… but the fact that mimes are incredibly creepy means that there aren’t many willing to study it in the first place. However, as this prodigious performer demonstrates, those who look past that are rewarded with plenty of training and secret techniques. The few Mimes that remain are all true masters of their craft- giving a whole new meaning to the term ‘silent but deadly’! Status Descriptions Mime Art: Barricade Style: Invisible blockers have always been a part of Mime culture- but the Barricade Style proves that just because you can’t see them doesn’t mean they aren’t there. As your attacks harmlessly bounce off of thin air, it seems you’ve realized that firsthand. Mime Art: Slapstick Style: Slapstick comedy isn't supposed to actually hurt. While you're defending against the fighting techniques of the Slapstick Style, try and focus on not getting pummeled instead of thinking about how counterintuitive this whole thing is. Mime Art: Impenetrable Fortress: Why, that little… he’s attempting to hide in an invisible box! It looks like he can’t keep that technique active for long, though… maybe just try hitting him until it breaks? MasterMime's Mitre MC Wind Misc. MC is spent on the ability to grant the player additional outgoing damage or M/R/M resist in exchange for locking them out of using spells or armor skills, as well as Wind resistance. Example Tier: Level: 150 Mastercraft PowerLvl: 153 Price: 6,051,293 Sellback: 3,025,646 Location: Defeat Schanz, the MasterMime Cost: [X] SP Element: Wind Effects: Provides *0.5 Wind resistance Click to swap between two modes: “Slapstick” and “Barricade” In “Slapstick” mode, the player gains “Mime Art: Slapstick Style” (renamed Berserk (-15 bth, *85/70 damage). The player deals a further +[y]% damage, but is inflicted with Silence. This is permanent and lasts until you switch form or unequip the misc* * Mime Art: Slapstick Style! In exchange for your silence, the Slapstick Style’s heavy blows boost the damage of your attacks! In “Barricade” mode, the player games “Mime Art: Barricade Style” (renamed Defence Boost (+[z] MRM)), but also Silence. This is permanent and lasts until you switch form or unequip the misc* * Mime Art: Barricade Style! In exchange for your silence, the Barricade Style’s invisible walls will bolster your blocking capabilities! MC Effect: Reduced SP Cost Appearance: A tattered gray opera hat, with a bright red flower sticking out of it. The hat appears to be made out of silk, and the flower resembles a red rose or carnation. Description: Invoking the power of the Mime arts will force you to take a vow of silence, but should you accept, you’ll gain protection from the scathing winds of criticism, as well as the otherworldly powers of practitioners long past! This headpiece was once worn by Bip, the second great MasterMime- a noble soul who spread the art by protecting those in danger with his skills. (Mimes can be good people too. Shocking, right?) Slap Stick MC Wind Magic Staff. MC allows the player to choose between damage or ‘Silence’ mode that attempts to silence your opponent Example Tier: Level: 150 Mastercraft PowerLvl: 153 Price: 24,205,166 Sellback: 12,102,582 Location: Defeat Schanz, the MasterMime Damage: Magic Proc: 0% Element: Wind Lean: -5 bth (*85/80 damage) Effect: 0-proc so *1.08 damage Click the Curve of the cane to switch between “Damage” and “Silence” mode* * Click the cane to have it attempt to Silence your opponent! Click the cane to return to simple slapstick. In damage mode, the player gains “Mime Art: Slapstick Style” (renamed Berserk (-10 bth, *85/75 damage). The MC fuels a further *1.05 damage In Silence Mode, the weapon will deal -25% damage and pays its MC to attempt to Silence your foe (prevented from using Spells/Skills, 1 turn). The status description reads: This monster has been forced into silence by the power of Mimes long past! Unable to cast Spells/skills!. Your foe can resist at a +0 bonus*: Level: 153 vs Monsterlvl Major: Your INT vs. Monster INT Minor: Your LUK vs Monster LUK *Ssssh! Your opponent cannot (and will not) not be Silenced! NB: Silence lacks a solid valuation, so I assume here it to be worth 50% melee per turn Appearance: The Slap Stick is a long walking cane made of wood, with a spiral design carved into it. Despite its shape, it is actually quite light and springy. Description: This ancient cane is a relic of the MasterMimes of old, and can invoke their power to forcibly Sillence your opponent! Some say that it used to belong to the most powerful Mime to ever walk Lore. Due to his loyalty to the craft, nobody actually knew his name- but his downtrodden appearance and unusual behavior led many to refer to him as simply ‘The Tramp’.
