Ruined Knights/In Battle

## Attacks

* Karapaes starts moving across the arena, throwing stars at the SOUL and a final "Aha~".
* Scutler throws his spear to the ground, aiming at the SOUL, while butterflies come from the sides.
* Ballard makes a spinning circle of butterflies and throws them in random direction one by one.
* Butterflies form so that the SOUL has to move through a narrow path.
* Clumps of butterflies appear on the right and left and start shooting them by one.

## Strategy

* To spare Karapaes, the player must rebuke him twice.
* To spare Ballard, the player must encourage him twice.
* To spare Scutler, the player must remind him twice. This only works if the other two have already been spared.
	+ If Scutler is spareable, all attacks stop.
* If one of them is killed, any previously spared Knight comes back to avenge their teammate and can no longer be spared.
