Hey Wind Runners!
This is the third episode of our Bosses devblog series. In it, we introduce you to the bosses guarding each world and their Cardinal Beasts: the deadliest ships ever created.
Today, we're introducing the hunter of Azala, Saint Emiel and his Cardinal Beast: The Raven.
Every Saint has their own way of enforcing the Realm's rule. For Emiel, it's the hunt; an endless search for targets, piloted from inside his Cardinal Beast: the Raven.
Saint Emiel the hunter
Emiel sees the hunt as his ultimate act of devotion: tracking down enemies, hostile or not, to keep his mind occupied and free of sin. Fulfilling his need of bloodlust through the calling of his "religious duties"
The Raven
The Raven is a giant fighter built for chaos, filling the sky with waves of projectiles in bullet-hell-style attacks.
At certain points in the fight, it will sweeps back and forth across the arena, throwing out expanding electric rings you'll need to dodge. Only the best pilots will be able to land hits during this phase.
Once the Raven settles back into its bullet-hell attacks, that's your real window to close in and unload as much damage as possible.
Azala: The blue planet
The world with the greatest experience in aircraft and aircraft construction. Its surface is 99% covered in water, and the inhabitants live on the slopes of the high peaks scattered across the planet.
The Hunter’s Armada
Emiel’s Army is powerful and staying sharp matters. The enemies telegraph their shots, but lasers hit hard. The Chasers' laser rings act like mines in the sky, so read the field and dodge before they catch you.
On Azala, you'll be facing:
Flankers: Fire expanding Electric Rings that act like mines in the sky, forcing you to read the field and dodge before they catch you.
Chasers: Always closing the distance to stay on your tail, firing long-range ray beams.
Ships: Appearing in different locations to keep you guessing, then unleash a powerful laser beam telegraphed by a targeting reticle.
Bases: fire a series of single shots, telegraphed the same way, giving you a chance to react in time.
