Slime

Slime is a green goo that can stick to a character and eat away at their armor and health bars, reducing the max amount of health/armor. Slime damage does not go away over time, and must be manually removed.

## Slime damage causes and how to avoid it

#### **Stepping in slime**

If the character steps in slime on the Rubble map, or in a puddle on any other map, the character will accrue damage for every second they remain in the slime.

To avoid taking damage, tread carefully on the Rubble map, making sure to fully clear gaps. Ensuring you take a powered jump early on will also help to ensure that you can clear the gaps fully without accidentally landing in slime.

As an extra precaution, equipping Force jump powers can help create platforms for safer travel across the slime covered map.

#### **Slime barrels**

Slime barrels are barrels that emit slime damage when they are damaged and explode.

To avoid taking damage, avoid damaging the barrels with weapons or powers all together, or destroy them from a safe distance. Avoid stepping in the area around the Slime barrel until slime puddles from the explosion have dissipated.

#### **Slime Scraps**

Slime Scraps are green and covered with goo. Slime Scraps will vomit slime all over the player, causing the character to accrue slime damage for as long as they remain in the stream of slime. Slime Scraps will also move around in a puddle form from time to time, and stepping in the slime puddle will cause slime damage.

Slime scraps will move toward the player to quickly close the gap and will vomit slime on the player over and over, so it's important to take them down quickly. Keep at a distance as often as you can, and avoid their stream of slime vomit by side stepping and flanking.

#### **Slime Exploders**

Slime Exploders are similar to other Exploders, except they carry slime in their tank. When they explode, the slime that is emitted from the explosion may land on the player, causing slime damage.

If a Slime Exploder explodes and gets slime on nearby scraps, the scraps will turn into Slime Scraps, and the potential to get slimed drastically increases. Due to this, it's important to ensure any nearby scraps are cleared out before the Slime Exploder goes off.

To avoid Slime Exploders from causing slime damage, try picking them off from far away as soon as they're spotted. Equipping Ice powers and chilling them will prevent them from causing damage and emitting slime when exploding.

#### **Slime Resistant Armor**

To fully avoid Slime Damage, look for the Slime Resistant Armor item which may randomly show up in the Item Kiosk. When equipped, this item will make the character immune to Slime Damage when their character has Armor.

## How to remove slime damage

Slime damage will remain and accumulate until it is manually removed. It will not decay or go away over time.

#### **Mud Bath**

From time to time, an item called Mud Bath will show up in the Item Kiosk. For 30 cred, this item will convert any current slime damage into max health or armor. *(Ex: If the character has 50 total health, but 20 of that health is comprised of slime damage, the character will have 70 total health and no slime damage after purchasing the Mud Bath item.)*

#### **Slime Scrubber**

When in the bar, the player can wash away all slime damage by depositing 25 cred into the Slime Scrubber located near the Bartender. Washing away the slime will clear the health/armor bars from all slime accumulated, however, any armor or health that was previously slime will need to be replenished again.
