What's up, RMers?

[Kain Nobel]

Oily Body and Flame Soul battlers are finished!

Strategy

Oily Body

Not only does the Oily Body halve all physical damage and resist bullets, close range attackers are afflicted with Slow and Blind upon contact. This enemy absorbs Poison and Fire elements, plus the Fire effect transforms them into Flame Souls which are much tougher. Sometimes other enemy units will purposely target the Oily Body with a flame attack, fleeing afterwards. Best strategy is to take out other enemy units before confronting the Oily Body.

This enemy dies when their MP is 0.

Flame Souls

While Flame Souls naturally use strong fire elemental magics, their body heat alone causes gradual 5% damage to all combatants whom don't absorb or nullify Fire. Close range physical attacks cause damage to the combatant, so it is best to stick to ranged weapons or spells, preferably with Water or Ice based effects. Lastly, if the enemy has enough MP to do, Flame Souls use Ka-BOOM! when they die, causing massive explosive damage to all combatants. The best alternative strategy is to Osmose their MP dry, which will not only instantly kill them but also prevent their final attack.

Other than that...

Lots of sprite work. Lots of documentation. A little bit of implementation. The rest of it is experimentation.
