<tabber> |-|Post v0.8.0=
==/// SUMMARY==
The Noober-Dimensional Bloxxer Department Captain (also known as the N.D.B.D. Captain) is a boss encountered on Wave 25. He is a major challenge that players will face; being dangerous and methodical when using his equipment to dispatch players. In Default Mode, he has 75,000 HP and yields 25,000 Cash when defeated.
==// ENCOUNTER==
On Wave 25, N.D.B.D. Captain does not appear alongside other enemies, but will instead appear after the second-last enemy has been killed. Once the second-to-last enemy has been killed, the countdown to N.D.B.D. Captain's fight will begin. Once the timer hits 0, N.D.B.D. Captain will appear at a random sector on the map.
 In Legacy Mode, the N.D.B.D. Captain will start the fight with the Advisionary Van accompanying him, rather than later in the fight.
==// BEHAVIOR==
N.D.B.D Captain will roam around the battlefield, attacking the statue and the players defending it with various movestrings displayed above his head, which is hidden in Legacy Mode. 
===/ Hidden Bypass===
N.B.D.B is able to see past the invisibility provided by weapons and can damage players while they are invisible. This does not include the forcefield upon respawning.
===/ Honorbound===
N.D.B.D Captain will not target the Statue unless there are no other enemies alive or in line of sight.
===/ Radio Call===
N.D.B.D. Captain's backup protocol that accumulates when he takes damage during his Royal Guard or Parry phase. When full, N.D.B.D Captain will call the Advisionary Van to take care of the battlefield as he departs for a brief moment before returning.
 In Legacy N.D.B.D Captain will instead spawn alongside the Advisionary Van rather than calling for backup later in the fight.
 The Advisionary Van contains Dimensional Adversary, Synthe and Intergalactic Ronin, Dyrius.
* Depending on the amount of damage taken, he will receive passive health regen while he is away from the battlefield.
 
===/ DPS Rage===
N.D.B.D Captain will build up rage upon taking damage that exceeds 1% of his HP. When full, Captain will enrage, receiving percent damage reduction, modified movesets and thorns reflecting ?% damage upon being damaged. 
* Represented by a red bar, DPS rage will last for a scaled duration before trickling back down.
* Upon both Dimensional Adversary, Synthe and Intergalactic Ronin, Dyrius dying N.D.B.D Captain will be enraged for the rest of the fight, during this enrage he will not receive thorns (please check idk).
==/// MOVESETS==
DEFENSIVE MOVESETS	DEFENSIVE MOVESETS
NAME & VISUAL 	STATS & STRATEGY
ROYAL GUARD 	N.D.B.D Captain's measure of returning damage back to the nearest enemy, usually killing them instantly. He will most likely use this moveset when Roundtrip is active. 
* On Phase 2, any damage accumulated prior to his Radio Call will automatically be converted to Royal Guard (filling up the meter a certain % depending on the amount of damage converted). 
STRATEGY:
* Be on the lookout for a red warning indicator on his Royal Guard. When it appears, he will be guaranteed to use Royal Guard on his nearest enemy when Roundtrip is complete.
PARRY 	N.D.B.D. Captain assume a defensive stance, absorbing any damage taken.
STRATEGY:
* TBA
SWORD MOVESETS	SWORD MOVESETS
NAME & VISUAL 	STATS & STRATEGY
STINGER 	N.D.B.D. Captain dashes towards an opponent with his sword. In Legacy mode, this move will destroy shields (even the Master Sword's shield) and inflict the "Fractured Fragility" debuff. This move can be performed up to 5 times in a row (indicated by his moveset UI).
STRATEGY:
* Try to avoid him when he is dashing, similar to how you avoid Miligard's charge attack.
WHIRLWIND 	N.D.B.D. Captain will spin his sword, dealing damage around him while moving at targets at a rapid pace. 
STRATEGY:
* This one's really hard to avoid up close, so just get distance from him.
FISSURE 	N.D.B.D. Captain strikes the ground with his sword, sending shockwaves in a line towards the nearest player.
STRATEGY:
* Pretty easy to dodge at a distance, but really hard to dodge up close. It doesn't do that much damage, so you can just tank it.
DRIVE 	N.D.B.D. Captain will assume a defensive stance and gain a shield, while charging up a massive attack that targets every player and buildings on the battlefield. If enough damage is dealt to him before he finishes charging, the move is interrupted. Otherwise, a fast slash projectile that deals insane damage will be sent to everything currently on the field. 
STRATEGY:
* This move is EXTREMELY damaging, so it is recommended to get your entire team to shred his shield before he can charge up his attack.
** Alternatively, Drive's projectile can be dodged at a far distance. Although risky in teams, it can be useful when dealing with both Dyrius and Synthe since you won't have to spend time interrupting the Captain.
RANGED MOVESETS	RANGED MOVESETS
NAME & VISUAL 	STATS & STRATEGY
ROUNDTRIP 	N.D.B.D. Captain throws his sword, staying in place while his sword seeks out targets on it's own.
STRATEGY:
* This attack may be difficult to dodge, and is very punishing to get caught within. Consider blocking with any v0.8 melee or using Ninja Blink to escape it.
OPPOSITION 	N.D.B.D. Captain uses his gun to fire basic shots towards nearby enemies. 
STRATEGY:
* He just shoots his gun at the nearest player, it shouldn't be too hard to dodge.
BULLETSTORM 	N.D.B.D. Captain shoots his gun upwards, striking random spots on the battlefield. This will create a circle of bullets that spread out from the center. 
STRATEGY:
* This attack will spawn a massive amount of bullets that covers the entire battlefield. They're really easy to dodge since they're really slow, and they don't deal that much damage either. Make sure that you don't accidently dash into them while trying to dodge another attack though!
THERMAL BLAST 	N.D.B.D. Captain fires his rifle into the air, spawning large AOE attacks on players which deal decent amounts of damage. 
STRATEGY:
* A warning circle will appear when the attack is about to land, indicating the attack's AOE size. Get out of that circle and you'll be fine.

==/// SUMMARY==
The Noober-Dimensional Bloxxer Department Captain (also known as the N.D.B.D. Captain) is a boss encountered on Wave 25. He is a major challenge that players will face; being both evasive and dangerous and having access to a multitude of firearms and equipment to quickly dispatch of players. In Default Mode, he has 75,000 HP and yields 25,000 Cash when defeated.
==// ENCOUNTER==
On Wave 25, N.D.B.D. Captain does not appear alongside other enemies, but will instead appear after the second-last enemy has been killed. Once the second-to-last enemy has been killed, the countdown to N.D.B.D. Captain's fight will begin. Once the timer hits 0, N.D.B.D. Captain will appear at a random spot in the map.
==// BEHAVIOR==
N.D.B.D. Captain has a total of 6 (six) weapons to choose from when fighting: Pistol, Shotgun, Blaster, Rifle, Minigun and Railgun. N.D.B.D. Captain will by himself switch between these weapons at random. Each weapon also requires ammunition to fire. If ammunition runs out on the weapon that he is currently holding, he will immediately switch weapons, putting the emptied weapon on cooldown and preventing him from using it for a certain period of time. 
N.D.B.D. Captain can also randomly dodge in quick succession, slide or use a grappling hook to pull himself towards a new location. While dodging, N.D.B.D. Captain can occasionally drop bullet grenades, which detonate into clusters of bullets spreading out across the whole map.
N.D.B.D. Captain's movement speed & damage is scaled by the amount of players in the server. While playing solo, he moves 50% slower and deals 50% less damage.
If the Server Level Average (SLA) is 50+, N.D.B.D. Captain enters Hard Mode. As a result, he will receive the following buffs and changes, increasing the difficulty of the fight:
* Style System:
** N.D.B.D. Captain's gains Style Points from dealing Damage, gradually improving his Style Rank
** The higher the Style Rank is, the higher the damage boost N.D.B.D Captain receives ( D Rank: +0% | SSS Rank: +30% )
** Style Rank and Style Points can be reduced by damaging N.D.B.D. Captain
* Coin Toss ability can toss up to 8 coins. Coins will also be shot earlier than usual.
* Increased chance to deploy bullet grenades while dodging
* Increased chance of sliding or dodging
* Faster swap time and fire rate
N.D.B.D. Captain can also become ENRAGED if his railgun is successfully parried. While enraged, he gains increased speed, damage and augmented abilities, but will take 25% more damage while enraged. Multiple railgun parries will refresh the enrage duration. 
* If players have not beaten N.D.B.D. Captain in under 10 minutes, he will permanently become ENRAGED for the rest of the Boss Fight.

==/// STRATEGY== 
#The Master Sword is the preferred choice for Melee players, as it provides high survivability alongside its parry function allowing the player to reflect most of N.D.B.D. Captain's attacks. Remember to pay attention to the Railgun's cues and to react accordingly.
#N.D.B.D. Captain will only target players in his line of sight, and his coin ricoshots are unable to target people behind cover. Players can seek cover behind the Statue to avoid taking damage from his attacks, however this poses the risk of N.D.B.D. Captain targeting the statue if too many people end up dying while fighting N.D.B.D. Captain.
# Although it is risky, triggering N.D.B.D. Captain's ENRAGED state from parrying a railgun may prove to be helpful towards the closing stages of the fight, due to the massive damage it deals to him.
# Structures buffed with Aureus Blessing are effective at tanking N.D.B.D. Captain.
# You can bait the Railgun by having a Remedial Spirit summon then cloaking with the Survival Knife.
==/// TRIVIA ==
#N.D.B.D. Captain's appearance and movesets are based off of the I.D.P.D Captain from Nuclear Throne and V2 from ULTRAKILL. N.D.B.D Captain's previous iterations originally took inspiration from the I.D.P.D Captain while the Nostalgic Proctors iteration leans more towards V2's movesets and playstyle, being able to move quickly and switch between weapons.
#The music that plays while fighting N.D.B.D Captain is Versus & Duel (Versus Reprise) from ULTRAKILL; for Hard Mode it's Flirt with Reprise, a mashup of ULTRAKILL and Yakuza songs Duel & Flirt with Bomb.
#N.D.B.D. Captain used to be able to grapple players either towards him or to simply stun them on the ground, deequipping their weapons leaving them vulnerable for his attacks. This was removed due to balance issues with the move.
#N.D.B.D. Captain's Railgun uses the ROBLOX mesh, Rail Runner 5000.
