"This bitch slays!" reads her bio, plastered across the net, and don't worry, you've seen her on TV too. Magna cum laude at Princeton, and a complete princess, she knew what she wanted. Femto was her chance at grabbing onto the C-Balls of "nerds" and "losers". She took their flagship products and wrapped them in PR speak, spinning the investors around her finger and breaking the noses of those who broke NDA.

Of course, investments don't run on lies alone. C-Balls were cool, but a nano-company needs something even more nano than her wasp waist. She is not only a role model and a fashion model, but the main model, the prototype of what humanity can be. Of course, she won't mention the stolen patents or the off-the-shelf parts.

Lizz may have won many battles by outpatenting her competition and keeping the proper spin with clever PR, but in a fight she's the real deal. No matter which Combat Shell you're packing, Lizz Watson will be a challenging opponent.

Femto's nanotechnology is more than a gimmick, and in combat with the CEO you'll find her bringing facsimiles of your abilities. That means you're in for a contest of skill and a test of all that you've learned in the many simulations that brought you here.

P.S. Agents, we'd like to express our gratitude for all your previous feedback about Lizz. We hear you and we've seen your concerns about her difficulty and general enjoyability in combat. We're addressing this with balance adjustments to enhance the fun factor – rest assured, we're actively working on it.

You could say that Trinary Iskra took its appointment as Interport's CEO well. Just look at the peak efficiency Interport has been operating at! Sadly the AI is not only mad with power, but armed to project that power at you.

Ever-increasing profits and efficiency led Interport to appoint an AI as CEO. AIs aren’t new for corporations, advising countless cutthroat decisions and market strategies, but this was quite bold.

Interport’s limitless resources created an engineering marvel, built with trinary logic, a Soviet concept unexplored since the domination of binary computing. It was named “Iskra”, referencing the gnostic divine spark. Capable of near-prescience without Turing registry supervision.

Warehouses network – each one housing semi-autonomous cores syncing frequently. It’s speculated cores are fully conscious, practically limitless, and developing delusions of godhood.

Iskra is a massive foe with a massive ego and a massive arsenal. While its divinity complex might be a delusion, it is truly a master of saturating its environment with death.

Your greatest challenge in this fight will be to avoid Iskra's attacks. Always stay aware of your surroundings! Dodging is crucial, but if you don't keep an eye on your dash charges you might just trap yourself in the middle of one of several highly damaging attacks. And keep in mind - each stage of Iskra has its own weak spot that guarantees critical damage if shot directly.

The top of the line, the cream of the crop. The most elite member of the Phoenix force, augmented with experimental military-grade cybernetics infused with the toughest nanolattice alloys money can buy.

Uplifted with Watts-Rucker's gene therapy. More wetware than the average Phoenix soldier, but definitely less Homo Sapiens, more Homo Patent at this point. Created for solely one purpose: stopping the menace plaguing Watts-Rucker operations. The corporate dealings leading to its creation must be the stuff of lawyering legend.

The Phoenix Apex is a melee powerhouse that would love nothing more than to get up close and personal with your Combat Shell. What's left of you as a result might just fit into a Watts-Rucker test tube.

That's why maintaining distance is key. Remember to use the C-Balls to your advantage. They'll aid you not only with resources, but with traversal opportunities to help you stay ahead in the fight against the Apex.

Keep a close eye on its shield as well. When it's up, the Phoenix Apex is fully protected and able to throw back just about everything you throw at it. Time your attacks and pick the right angle to strike at this brute or wait for Mothership to spawn its drones and hit them all with a grenade - this will create a fountain of shields.

Whichever crooked megacorp you are assaulting, you can be sure at the very end a fierce boss fight is going to await you. Each one is challenging in its own way and while it pays to know your every enemy, it especially pays to know these ones.

The minds of Tora hanchō are traditionally placed inside the most advanced products Tora Heavy Industries can offer. Old and groggy, they’re displeased with anyone interfering with both the zaibatsu's or the gang's ops.
 
Always in a state of comfort, with a hair trigger temper, these Oyabun are directly tapped into drip feeds of quality sake. They explode at the slightest show of disobedience from anyone, be they their underlings or an interloper such as the CSA Combat Shells.

The Tora Heavy Industries Torantula packs a lot of firepower. You will have to contest it with your own of course, but it doesn't just come down to trading blows and seeing who hits harder. It's where you apply all your firepower that counts! In the case of the Torantula? The rocket pods and the spider's "abdomen". Hit those areas and hit them hard to inflict some massive damage on this massive mech. And keep in mind, that the lasers move slightly slower than the combat shell's movement speed, so the best strategy here is to stay away from panicking.
