Betagoth

==/// SUMMARY==
The Betagoth is an electric-element melee weapon that features several movesets fit for crowd control, in addition to being capable of providing a melee-centered buff and indirectly healing allies. These versatile abilities allow it to efficiently play both a supportive and offensive role.
This weapon is exclusive to Beta Testers of Defend the Statue: Remastered (DtS:R). Betagoth is unlocked on Wave 5 and can be purchased for $2,500.
==/// MECHANICS==
This weapon does not passively heal from direct kills. While it is held, the user is provided with full knockback immunity. Regardless of how they are spawned, Beta Souls do not target structures and always heal their target by 25% of the damage that was dealt.
===// LUNGE ATTACK===
Every third swing will be a Lunge Attack. 
===// CHARGE ATTACK ===
Holding [LMB + R] initiates a Charge Attack, and releasing [LMB] at any point unleashes the attack. Betagoth has a longer charge-up time.
A full Charge Attack will spawn one Beta Soul for each enemy killed by the attack. Beta Souls appear as small blue orbs that will home onto a random ally in the battlefield, healing them on contact before vanishing.
===// EVADE===
Pressing [SHIFT] propels the user towards their currently-approaching direction at the expense of Stamina. Betagoth's evades cost more Stamina and give less momentum.
A successful Timed Evade heals the user by 20% of their Max HP.
When gained, Evade Counters do not passively expire over time. Kills with Evade Counters will also spawn one Beta Soul per enemy killed.
=== // BLOCK===
Holding [Q] makes the user block, significantly minimizing incoming damage at the cost of block durability. Betagoth has a longer Burst Parry duration.
A successful Perfect Block heals the user by 40% of their Max HP. In Burst Parry, each hit with Beta Typhoon will restore 1% of the user's Stamina and heal based on 2.5% of the damage dealt.
Kills with Parry Counters spawn one Beta Soul per enemy killed.
===// MULTIPLIERS===
Charge Attack: [x2.5] | Lunge Attack: [x1]Evade Counter: [x3.12] | Parry Counter: [x2.5]
Critical hits deal x1.25 damage. Attacks deal x1.25 more damage during Burst Parry.
This weapon doesn't have any specific multipliers against any enemy classifications.

NAME & VISUAL 	STATS & STRATEGY
BETA VENGEANCE [X]	Using Beta Vengeance causes the user to start charging up for a moment. Upon finishing, nearby enemies will take considerable mage-class damage and knockback. Nearby allies and the user will also receive the "Beta Vengeance" buff, boosting their melee stats significantly. It can be cancelled by evading, blocking, or unequipping the weapon.
STATS:

* 30 second cooldown
* 30 second buff duration
STRATEGY:

BETA PARALYZER [C]	While Beta Paralyzer is active, the user's Mana will drain at a constant pace regardless of their Mana-related stats, and the Betagoth will always deal mage-class damage instead of melee-class damage. Hits with direct swings will additionally chain lightning between nearby enemies, within a small range. It can be cancelled by unequipping or pressing [C]. Running out of Mana automatically ends the move.

BETA TYPHOON [Z] 	While Beta Typhoon is active, the user's Stamina will drain at a constant pace regardless of their Stamina-related stats, and the user will spin towards the mouse's location at a high speed. Any enemies caught within the user's spin radius will continuously take melee-class damage. It can be cancelled by evading, blocking, unequipping, attacking, or pressing [Z]. Running out of Stamina automatically ends the move.
