## **Boss Info**

A two-sided robot whose exact construction is unknown. One side is pink with a head cannon and two arm cannons, while the other side is blue with a curved blade on its head and two arm blades. Both sides are capable of firing projectiles as well as rotating 180 degrees as needed to change up its attack strategy. Despite its appearance, Duon may not be an actual robot. During the events of the Subspace Emissary when Snake, Lucario, and Meta Knight freed the Halberd from a bunch of Mr. Game & Watches, those same Game & dissolved into Shadow Bugs which then formed into Duon.

## **Boss Fight Details**

Duon is fought on a large mid-air platform where it takes up about a 1/3rd of the stage. Duon can roll around on the stage using the giant wheel at the midpoint of its body. Duon will always attack with the head that is facing the player, however it can easily spin around 180 degrees to change which of its two heads is facing the player.

## **Attacks**

### **Blue - Head Sword Chop**

This attack can only be performed by the blue Duon head. Duon will bash its head forward with insane speed which causes high damage and intense knockback to the player. The trajectory of the player’s knockback depends on what part of the blade they are hit by.

### **Blue - Sword Blast**

This attack can only be performed by the blue Duon head. Duon will raise its two arms up into a cross shape before slashing forwards and creating a large shockwave in front of him. The slash has low range, but both it and the shockwave are very damaging.

### **Blue - Triple Slash**

This attack can only be performed by the blue Duon head. Duon will take aim with its blades and make a series of three slashes at their position. When Duon uses this attack they aren’t strictly locked into one spot that they are attacking and if the player moves they can change their blades they’re swinging to try and get them. Each of the three slashes are made with Duon’s blade arms.

### **Blue - Mines**

This attack can only be performed by the blue Duon head. Duon will fire a bevy of mines up into the air which will crash back down into the stage and explode. These mines can be detonated with vertical attacks such as Pikachu’s Thunder or by throwing an item up at them.

### **Pink - Vertical Pink Shots**

This attack can only be performed by the pink Duon head. Starting with its head pointing towards the ground, Duon will fire a volley of pink energy bolts as it rises its head up into the air causing the bolts to fan out from Duon.

### **Pink - Ground Pink Shots**

his attack can only be performed by the pink Duon head. Duon will fire a volley of pink energy bolts down at the ground at rapid speed aiming for the player’s position on the ground.

### **Pink - Blue Bolts**

This attack can only be performed by the pink Duon head. Duon’s head will glow with blue electrical energy before firing out three strong blue bolts which pierce through anything in their way. Additionally these bolts can break a player’s shield and can’t be absorbed or reflected. Touching the blue energy at the top of Duon’s head can lead to an instant KO at higher difficulties.

### **Pink - Homing Missiles**

This attack can only be performed by the pink Duon head. Duon will fire four homing missiles out from one of its arms which chase after the player. The missiles can be detonated prematurely much like the mines, however unlike the mines the player can make the missiles follow them and cause the missiles to hit Duon which will damage him. When Duon uses this attack he will always follow it up with one of his four attacks that either Duon head can use.

### **Both - Charge**

This attack can be performed by both Duon heads. Duon will charge forwards with sparking wheels and attempt to ram into the player with its head.

### **Both - Spin**

This attack can be performed by both Duon heads. Duon will quickly spin 180 degrees around damaging the player if they are two close while also switching which head is facing the player. This move will commonly be used after Duon uses Mines or Homing Missiles.

### **Both - Vacuum Spin**

This attack can be performed by both Duon heads. Duon will spin around itself rapidly causing a strong vacuum effect that plus players in. This attack can chain for multiple hits dealing damage with each slice before the player is knocked away from Duon.

### **Both - Jump Crash**

This attack can be performed by both Duon heads. Duon will jump high up into the air almost King Dedede-esque before slamming back down into the stage. Duon can move to another spot on the stage during its jump and will attempt to crush the player beneath them. If a player is hit by Duon while Duon is falling back down they’ll be knocked back up into the air. Additionally, when Duon crashes back down into the stage there will be a shockwave around Duon that damages players next to Duon which can knock players away horizontally.
