NX-1024

TODAY IS A GREAT DAY FOR WHAT'S ABOUT TO COME.
== /// SUMMARY ==
NX-1024 (also known as NX) is an optional boss that is encountered in Wave 30. As the easier boss variant of NF-2401, this boss has a smaller moveset and spawn count which while making the fight end faster, doesn't make it any easier than previous boss waves. In Default mode, he has 125,000 HP and yields 50,000 Cash when defeated.
== // ENCOUNTER ==
On Wave 30, players are given the option to choose to fight either NX-1024 or NF-2401. If NX-1024 has the majority vote, then he will be selected as Wave 30's boss. While he spawns alongside the rest of the enemies in Wave 30, the enemy count is significantly reduced to 33% (41 enemies, NX-1024 included).
== // BEHAVIOR ==
When the fight begins, the battlefield will start to rain heavily which slightly decreases visibility. Due to how massive NX-1024 is, he spawns inside a random sector gate instead of above the cliffs. Upon exiting the sector gate, NX will start moving sporadically around the map, occasionally going for rams on players and sometimes the Statue. While doing so, NX's offensive structures will sustain fire on players and the Statue.
When NX-1024 reaches 50% remaining health, the game will announce "The hard rain kicks in. Thunderstorms are imminent.", signaling to players that a monsoon has closed in, which significantly reduces visibility as well as causing lightning to randomly strike the battlefield. This will last until the Statue or NX is destroyed.
== /// MOVESETS ==
Much like the other two bosses of the Sentient Trio (NF-2401 and Aerial Nightmare), NX-1024 has multiple structures that can be eliminated to significantly decrease NX's lethality.

STATS:
* NX's ram deals 2,500 Damage and can also knock you out of the battlefield.
* When NX's target is at a higher elevation than him, he uses his built-in spring coils to jump towards his desired ram target.
STRATEGY:
* Seek cover behind the Statue to avoid getting rammed, keep repairing it when its damaged and keep the distance between NX.
== /// STRATEGY ==
# It is advised to destroy NX-1024's engines first as it reduces his movement speed tremendously without any downsides.
# NX-1024 is able to use coils to jump while ram. Make sure to be on alert for when NX rams as it can catch players off guard.
# If the Turret is destroyed, try to lure NX-1024 away from the Statue before killing him as his death explosion can deal immense damage to both players and the Statue.
# Make sure that the statue is at FULL health before killing him. NX causes an extremely large explosion upon death, which can deal massive damage to the statue and often will kill everyone on the battlefield.
# DO NOT attempt to melee NX-1024 at all; you are guaranteed to get sent flying off the battlefield if you were to try so.
== /// TRIVIA ==
# Previously, NX-1024 had a chance of playing Devil May Cry 5 - Abyssal Time which has been removed.
# The theme that NX-1024 plays are the following:
