**Hercules** is a boss that can appear on Wave 6 on standard modes, or Wave 2 in the Epilogue. He is an elite combatant who is skilled in all forms of weaponry. Hercules appears as a cape-wearing hunter with minimal armour compared to other bosses. He primarily uses a bow that can hold up to 5 arrows and a electric mace, aswell as a warhorn that he ocassionally uses to boost the morale of his comrades or himself.

## Behavior

Taking after the Greek God, Hercules will have 3 weapons at his disposal. 2 of which he primarily uses. These weapons include:

###### 1. **Epirus Bow** ( PRIMARY )

His characteristic weapon. It is capable of holding five arrows which are laced and loaded with the same chemical substance found on tranquilizers dart, meaning the arrows will behave the same if not worse than tranquilizers' darts. While using this weapon he receives a 30% damage resistance and can freely switch between 2 fire modes, which are:

* Normal: he will shoot 1 arrow per 0.5 seconds, taking 3 seconds to reload all arrows (0.6 seconds each)
* Arrow Rain: he will unleash all 5 arrows towards the skies onto a dummy. A 1.5 second warning will appear beforehand, giving the dummies a slim chance to escape

###### 2. **Khrusos Mace** ( SECONDARY )

His secondary, having plenty of range and also good damage. Not only that, it can also create an electric chain when he hits a player that is near other players. His walkspeed also increases during the usage of this weapon

###### 3. **Dynamis Warhorn** ( PRIMARY )

Last but not least. Whilst walking, Hercules will blow the warhorn. Granting all non-mechanical enemies 8% extra walkspeed and damage. This weapon is only used by Hercules whenever he loses 25% health (3 uses only). Although in the case where there are no longer enemies, he will buff himself instead.

## General Lore Summary

23 year old Bellum Amantis spent most of his childhood in the dark. He had to move out of his village to a city because his parents needed a job to sustain the family. This meant that he had to switch schools and find new friends, which was almost impossible due to his cultural background and instead got bullied for it. He didn't have anyone to talk to, not even his own parents because they were either too busy or too tired when they're at home.

This continued on for years, slowly breaking him apart from the inside. The frequent bullying also made him short-tempered and uncontrollable, often getting into fights which only made everything worse. His parents did try to talk to him about it and even offered a therapist but nonetheless, they were too late. They've failed to realize the small signs he gave throughout the years. However, one day changed it all for him.

The winter storm is getting more and more unbearable as the days pass.

The blistering cold fog has shut off any supply trucks from coming to our camp, so we haven't been able to eat anything.

All we can do now is to huddle inside our tents hoping that this storm would eventually stop.

While waiting i decided to write some things i was reminiscing about. Specifically, this one particular day.

It was a monday morning, and we were having breakfast at 6:30 AM.

Not much talk between me and my parents as my relationship with them is as distant as the skies and the ground by that point.

They left for work as soon as they finished breakfast, leaving me alone at home. I'm not exactly sure why but if i remembered correctly, they left with the most saddest faces i've ever seen.

The only time that happens is when they're going to family funerals, and even then it wasn't as sad looking as this one.

I'd hear a ring on the doorbell at 7:00 AM, i opened it thinking it was the deliveryman but instead i saw two army men built like tanks. I felt like i just skipped a heartbeat or two, it was such a shock to me.

"Good morning. This is the Mr. and Ms. Amantis household, Yes?" The army man says whilst holding a clipboard and a pen.

"Yes... what do you need?" I uneasily responded.

"Is your son Bellum Amantis at home by any chance? we're here to recruit him." The other man with sunglasses replied with a stern tone.

"Huh?.. You're talking about me?" I uttered out loud.

"Ah, so you're the kid. I see. Alright, we have a couple questions to ask of you. Keep the answers simple, yeah?"

The man started giving me chains upon chains of questions, it was like climbing an endless mountain.

I was afraid of wasting their time and giving them unclear answers, so i was sweating more and more with every question.

It continued for what felt like hours, and just when they were about to leave they handed me a letter and said this:

*"Bellum Amant you are hereby notified that you are legally drafted in the service of the Nusian Army. You are expected to report by recruitment office by 5pm on November 21th, 2042."*

I broke down into tears infront of them, it was probably my lowest point at life.

Nobody cares how i feel, not even those who i call "family".

Not that it matters now anyways. I was always destined to be a goner the day i was born.

This message goes to all of you who are reading this diary, and to all of you who has done nothing to prevent issues like mine in the Nusian Society,

 *I will make sure that their voices will be heard, and their suffering be known.*
