Yang Yumo

Yang Yumo is the 2nd crossover DLC boss in Luminous Avenger iX 2, having been released on February 24th, 2022 for $7.99 / €6.99 / 800 Yen. Her appearance is part of a collaboration between iX2 and the game Dusk Diver 2, which she is the main protagonist of. In Dusk Diver 2, Lola appears as a boss in the DLC sub-quest "Visitors from Other World", with Yumo gaining a Lola outfit and Razor Wheel weapon Lola pod copy summon upon completing it and sending Lola home.
Unlike the 1st crossover DLC boss, Kohaku Otori, Yumo has some dialogue when encountered... But speaks in (subtitled) Chinese, leading to miscommunication with Copen.
Defeating her grants the D Burst ability, which when equipped allows successive Bullit Dashing outside of Overdrive.

==History==
===Luminous Avenger iX 2 - VS Yumo===
Under unknown circumstances, Copen and Lola encounter Yumo in a block of the Grave Pillar resembling the Jungle Block. Yumo sees the "scary look" in Copen's eyes and becomes worried that he's possessed due to him carrying a buzz saw, while Copen is surprised to have found another human. Due to inability to communicate, a fight ensues, seemingly ending with Copen the victor and Yumo returning to her world under unknown circumstances.
According to Lola in "Visitors from Other World", Yumo held back against them in the fight. (This would explain why Yang Yumo was using kicking attacks at Copen instead, as her primary fighting style in Dusk Diver is close-quarters combat with her fists.)
==Boss Battle Skills==
Skill 	Description
Lightning Dropライトニングドロップ 	Teleports offscreen before falling down with an electrified kick.
In Hard Mode, this move sends electric orbs along the ground.
Chaos Beast Replicas厄禍レプリカ 	Summons Chaos Beasts at various heights that fly across the screen, dealing damage on contact.
In Hard Mode, this move also spawns 3 Chaos Beasts across the top of the screen, which fall and create a large explosion when they hit the ground.
Spark Strikeスパークストライク 	Teleports to one end of the screen before dashing across the ground in an electric ball. Sends a spread of electric orbs at the end of the move. When she turns red towards the end of the attack, she's vulnerable to Recoil Dash stun.
In Hard Mode, Yumo will dash twice, and launches more electric orbs.
Thunder Quake Kick雷光震脚 	Jumps and slams the ground, sending an electric ball along the ground as lightning bolts fall at set distances from the impact zone. Often leads into Lightning Drop. When she turns red while preparing the attack, she's vulnerable to Recoil Dash stun.
In Hard Mode, this move drops additional lightning bolts in tighter intervals.
Air Rending Rush気旋連脚 	Performs a diving strike to the center, combos into a series of kicks towards whatever half Copen is in, ending with a dashing kick to the other half that sends a linear shockwave.
On Hard Mode, Yumo performs the strikes faster, and finishes the move with an uppercut behind her to tag anyone jumping behind her kick.
Electrical Flash電光石火 	Enters an invincible state as she summons a lightning orb. This orb will gradually pull Copen in, as well as gathering smaller orbs that make it expand. After 10 seconds of expansion, the orb explodes, nearly covering the whole screen.
In Hard Mode, this move will draw in more electric orbs to start. Additionally, Yumo will kick the orb once it hits maximum size, sending out orbs in "X" and "+" patterns before it explodes.

==Trivia==
[Note that adding spoilers for Dusk Diver is not permitted.]
*Yumo is the first character appearing in the Gunvolt series who has a voice actor and does not speak Japanese.
**In Dusk Diver, Yumo does actually have a Japanese dub voice actor; Rina Sato. The iX2 DLC uses her voice actor Hsuan-Ming Mu in all languages.
*Yumo is the only lightning-wielding boss in the series who is not an Azure Striker, discounting the Mighty Gunvolt spinoffs. However, judging by Lola's comment it seems Copen had a lot of trouble against Yumo all the same.
*Lola uses an EX Weapon resembling Yumo's electric attacks in her Dusk Diver 2 DLC battle.
