Summer Update

And ITTTTT’S SUMMER!! Let’s put on our stylish beachwear and enjoy this energetic Summer! The patch is scheduled to go live later tonight!


New Creatures:

- New Boss: Beach Bully

A gigantic, vicious crab with 4 claws and 8 long legs coming from deep ocean that attacks any creatures near the beach!

Special ability: Upon reaching 50% HP or lower, its body will transform from blue to red, increasing its attack by 20% and decreasing its defense by 15%.

Regular attack: Using its enormous claws to attack enemies

Skills:
1. Clawing Pressure: Using its claw to immobilize a target in front of it, lowering the target’s movement speed greatly.
2. Hydro Pump: Pumping out a stream of water from its claws to attack enemies.
3. Rampaging destruction: Using its 4 claws to attack target, dealing tons of damage. (Using this skill will release any target it held previously; however, additional damage will be dealt to that target)
4. Bully Smash: Using its claws to smash target in front of it (apply additional armor penetration effect to target it held)
5. Body Slam: Jumping high from its position and smashing any targets within its range upon landing (Using this skill will release any target it held previously; however, additional damage will be dealt to that target)
6. Bubble beam: A spray of water is forcefully ejected at the target. It also deals more damage to target it held.
7. Blizzard: A howling blizzard is summoned to strike the target from its claws, dealing damage to enemies in front and either lowering movement speed/lowering melee attack damage once hit. (Both debuffs will be applied to the target it held)

They will also have a low chance dropping:
