Muffet/In Battle

Muffet's attacks are themed on spiders, baked goods, and her pet. The battle takes place mostly in Purple Mode. Muffet may be spared by waiting or consuming a spider item (which may be bought at the Ruins). She does not fight if an item was bought at the Spider Bake Sale in Hotland and if the protagonist is on the Neutral or True Pacifist route.
== Attacks ==
A spider appears to the right between each turn, holding a sign that presents the density and type of attack that will come after the protagonist's turn.
=== SOUL Modes ===
Muffet changes the fight to Purple Mode on her first turn saying "Don't look so blue, my deary~ ... I think purple is a better look on you! Ahuhuhu~" which restricts the protagonist's SOUL to a few horizontal lines, or "strings," that one can move along or switch between to avoid attacks.
=== Patterns ===
: Note: All damages assume no armor and LV 1.
* Her most frequent attack is sending spiders along single strings. This does 6 damage per hit.
* She throws croissants along the lines that resemble boomerangs, returning the way they came after being thrown. This does 6 damage per hit.
* She throws donuts diagonally that bounce off the edge of the screen. This does 6 damage per hit.
* She begins with one of her other attacks, then let her "pet" muffin-spider pull the strings down toward it while using a slower version of the spider attack at the same time. This attack happens three times in the battle as "breakfast," "lunch," and "dinner" special attacks. The spiders do 6 damage per hit, and the pet does 4 damage per hit.
== Strategy ==
* Muffet offers to spare the protagonist after 17 turns.
** Using a Spider Donut or Spider Cider from the Ruins during her battle brings up the spare option after a short monologue. This can be done on any route.
* If the protagonist purchases an item from the Spider Bake Sale in Hotland, Muffet refuses to fight and lets the protagonist pass. However, it is rather expensive (9999 G). If the protagonist is on the Genocide Route, Muffet fights the protagonist regardless if an item from the Spider Bake Sale in Hotland was purchased or not.
* Muffet can be killed with a single hit by attacking when she offers to spare the protagonist. This action is similar to how Toriel dies after being attacked when she stops attacking and is called a "betrayal kill".
== Mechanics ==
* Bribing Muffet decreases the damage dealt by each hit by one. The amount paid increases every time used, however.
** Using Struggle 3 times permanently cuts the current cost to bribe her in half. This works only once, and the discount does not increase in proportion after a bribe.
** After bribing her without enough money, she lowers the price.

== Trivia ==
* If the protagonist spends all 9000G to buy Spider Donut and/or Spider Cider only in RUINS on the Genocide Route, Muffet will say "And even if they gave us money, I heard..." for some reason she finds out early, it could be a mistake.
** If the protagonist do the same on the Neutral Route, the battle with Muffet is skipped.
* If the protagonist has never spent GOLD on a bake/battle with Muffet, then on True Pacifist Route Epilogue Muffet will say "4 pairs of stylish sunglasses for every spider!" for some reason Muffet thinks the protagonist gave GOLD, but that's probably a mistake.
** If the protagonist is able to get the maximum discount in a battle, and doesn't spend gold, then on True Pacifist Epilogue, Muffet will stop thinking that the protagonist gave her GOLD.
