### ACTs

Check, Lecture, Hug, Shoo, S-Action, N-Action

## Attacks

#### Bear "hug"

* Mighty Bear will position behind the Bullet Board, then will constantly swing its two arms down on the sides, alternating with one on the Bullet Board, and one behind it.
	+ If other enemies are present, Mighty Bear's arms can also close between each other.
* The Lecture ACT will decrease the speed of the arms.

#### Sweet honeypot

* A green honeypot will appear on the bottom of the Bullet Board, surrounded my numerous bees. If touched in this state it will be consumed, healing all party members by 5 HP, but it will enrage all bees, launching themselves towards the SOUL.
	+ After the honey is taken, the bees will immediately be hostile in subsequent attacks.

Bear "hug".Sweet honeypot.
## Mercy

The Mighty Bear can be spared through sequences of ACTs to fill the Mercy Bar to 100%, making it reach Low HP or by using Sleep Mist when it is TIRED. Each ACT will affect the Mighty Bear in different ways. What each ACT will do is listed below:

* **Shoo** will increase Mighty Bear's Mercy bar by 15% (30% if Paula is in the Party). If used after the Lecture ACT, it will increase it by 50% (65% If Paula is in the Party) instead.
	+ If used after the Lecture ACT and at 100% Mercy, it will leave the battle.
* **Lecture** will allow the Hug ACT to be effective, as well as reducing Mighty Bear's attack and defense, as well the speed of its arms. It can be used only once.
* **Hug** will increase Mighty Bear's Mercy bar by 100%. It can only be used after Lecture. **[Requires Susie and Noelle to be present]**
* **S-Action** will increase Mighty Bear's Mercy bar by 25%
* **N-Action** will make Mighty Bear TIRED.

## Strategy

While the Lecture + Hug ACTs and then spare seems the obvious solution, it will cost a total of 3 turns to perform, and there are a few ways to spare Mighty Bear a bit faster: one way is by *Lecturing* with Kris and *S-Action* with Susie in the first turn, then *Shoo* + *S-Action* and spared by Noelle in the second, for a total of 2 turns; another is by defending with Kris & Susie to gather TP, then use *N-Action* to make Mighty Bear TIRED, then it can be spared in the next turn using *Sleep Mist*.

Another tip is regarding the honeypot: while the Player might be tempted to consume it, it could be considered to NOT take it at all, since the TP generated standing close to the bees can be immense, potentially enough to completely fill the TP bar to 100%, which can later be spent on healing spells by Noelle and Paula (If in the Party).
