VoidbringerJiequan

Jiequan, the Bringer of Void

A vastly more difficult rework of Jiequan's fight. Includes a third phase, custom attack weights, new fakeout moves, new conditions, aggressive speed-ups that require the player to stay locked in and a unique challenge mode.

With a heavy hint of Promised Eigong design philosophy but taken a few notches further with difficulty and meta jade setup variety, Void Jiequan shall be my real debut Nine Sols mod. Lvl 0 beatability has not been kept in mind when designing the boss.

Current changes and new additions (v1.1.0)

Universal changes

• Damage received from most of Jiequan's attacks is increased by 50%
• Crimson Smash is now an instant kill on hit (though Revival Jade can prevent that)
• Crimson Smash now has a 30% chance to be interrupted and followed up with an instant Horizontal Thrust instead.
• Similarly, with the same 30% chance, Daggers can also fake out, into one of two equally likely attacks: Teleport, Crimson Thrust
• Crimson Thrust can now, with a 30% chance, fake out into Teleport (This, with the above change, can result in consecutive fakeouts)
• Jiequan can no longer be staggered by most means. This causes a few interactions to now happen:
• Breaking the shield no longer stuns Jiequan and no longer interrupts his healing
• Cloud Piercer and 5 Qi Full Control detonations no longer briefly stun him
• The following attacks have been sped up as follows:
• Double Slash is 70% faster
• Daggers is 70% faster (Projectile speed unchanged)
• Diagonal Thrust is 80% faster
• Plunge is 70% faster
• Crimson Smash is 70% faster
• Stab is 70% faster
• Grenades is 70% faster (Again, projectile speed unchanged)
• Shield is 100% faster
• Teleport is 200% faster
• Horizontal Thrust is 80% faster
• Crimson Thrust is 70% faster
• A brand new third phase has been added with custom attack weights

Phase 1 changes

• Health increased to 7500 (Previously: 5400)
• Teleport can now be performed
• Double Slash can be now followed up with: Crimson Thrust, Crimson Smash, Teleport and itself
• Stab can now be followed up with: Double Slash, Teleport and Plunge
• Plunge will always be followed up by this sequence: Diagonal Thrust, Horizontal Thrust and Grenades
• Grenades can now be followed up with: Daggers, Shield and itself
• Daggers can now be followed up with: Stab, Grenades and itself
• Teleport can now be followed up with: Stab, Double Slash and itself
• Crimson Thrust can now be followed up with: Plunge and Daggers
• Crimson Smash and Shield act as "finisher" attacks. Jiequan will follow up with a default "starter" attack after performing either one: Stab, Double Slash, Diagonal Thrust, (not extensively tested) Plunge
• Only the starter attacks change between phases. Crimson Smash and Shield are always considered finisher attacks, and the stagger state also counts as one.

Phase 2 changes

• Health increased to 8000 (Previously: 4320)
• Same attack followups and starter attacks as vanilla Jiequan, except for the new fakeout attacks mentioned in the universal changes section

Phase 3 features

• Stab can now be followed up with: Horizontal Thrust and Crimson Smash
• Plunge can now be followed up with: Stab, Shield and Teleport
• Teleport can now be followed up with: Grenades, Double Slash, Crimson Thrust, Crimson Smash and itself
• Diagonal Thrust is always followed up with Crimson Smash
• Horizontal Thrust can now be followed up with: Shield, Daggers, Crimson Smash and itself
• Grenades is always followed up with Daggers
• Daggers can now be followed up with: Daggers and Double Slash
