## Mercy

Mr. Batty can be spared through sequences of ACTs to fill the Mercy Bar to 100% or making it reach Low HP. Each ACT will affect Mr. Batty in different ways. What each ACT will do is listed below:

* **Assure** will increase Mr. Batty's Mercy bar by 25% (50% if Paula is in the Party), as well as slowing down the speed of Mr. Batty's attacks. If used with Paula, It can be used only one time.
	+ If used with only Kris, the slowdown effect will be less powerful.
* **Approach** will freeze Mr. Batty in place, making it not attack for 1 turn.
* **S-Action** will increase Mr. Batty's Mercy bar by 10%, however if used a second time it will also make it TIRED.
* **N-Action** will increase Mr. Batty's Mercy bar by 50%, then by 20% the second time on.

## Strategy

Despite its goofy look (even mentioned in a flavor text), Mr. Batty might actually be one of the most dangerous enemies in Section 2, if only for the sheer amount of projectiles it can summon, especially when combined together with other enemies' attacks, making it incredibly difficult to properly dodge. Luckily, there are few ways to make quick work of it.

The quickest way to spare Mr. Batty is selecting *Assure*, *N-Action* and Spare with Susie, which will only took 1 turn in total.

Alternatively, if the Player wants to focus on other enemies as well, Either only *Assure* or *Approach* can also help to manage Mr. Batty's attacks (the first one making the attacks less intense, while the second completely stopping it for 1 turn).
