Flowey/In Battle

FLOWEY attacks!

Susie: S-Action

**Flowey** is the final boss of ***Section 1 - In Ruins***, in both the Normal Route and the Obliteration Route. He has a LV of 99, according to his CHECK description.

He will appear right before Kris and Susie manage to exit the RUINS, grabbing Kris with his vine and attempting to take their SOUL, before Susie manages to strike the vine to free them.

During the fight, *Serious Mode* will be active, changing Susie's battle expression, as well as shortening the names of certain items. The powerful *Red Buster* will also be available.

Flowey's main method of attack is with his "Friendliness Pellets", as well as with thorny vines and his own mouth.

After Flowey's HP is depleted, the Player can either choose to grant him his wish by striking him down, or SPARE him by selecting "Spare" 10 times.

If "Spare" is selected enough times, he will trap the SOUL in a tiny box and surround it with numerous bullets; as they got closer however, thanks to the "Graze" mechanic, enough TP will be collected for Susie to cast *Rude Buster* onto Flowey, with him dodging it in time, claiming "*Like that's gonna work on me the SECOND time, idiot!*". After that he will leave the RUINS.

If "Fight" is selected instead, after landing the hit, he will speak his last dying words with a huge crack on the center of his face, mentioning how "he knew it" and how Kris "is just like them", mentioning at the very end "Chara" before dying.

Hard Mode features a harder version of this fight, with the major changes being increased speed for all attacks, a whole new one introduced, and *Red Buster* not being usable because of Kris (who is unconscious in Flowey's grasp) not being in the Party.

## Attacks

#### "Friendliness pellets" - Wave

* A wave of bullets will be summoned from above Flowey, constantly raining down in direction of the SOUL.

#### "Friendliness pellets" - lines.

* Multiple lines of 5 bullets will appear around the Bullet Board, each one aiming directly at the SOUL.

#### Thorny Vines

* Flowey will proceed to impale the Bullet Board with its vines, then they will start to grow and thrust in direction of the SOUL, forewarned by a red line.

#### Plant Bite

* Flowey face will get closer to the Bullet Board, then he will attempt to bite the SOUL by closing his jaws on it.

#### "Friendliness pellets" + Vines

* An attack combining a slightly less dense wave of bullets from above, with an occasional vine thrusting in direction of the SOUL.

#### Double Thorny Vines

* Very similar to "*Thorny Vines*", but with two vines attacking at once.

#### Plant Bite + Bullets

* Very similar to "*Plant Bite*", but with each bite releasing 12 bullets in a in a radius.

## Strategy

### Red Buster

Depending on how much the Player is comfortable with grazing Flowey's attacks, it can be opted to focus only on defending and grazing to get as much TP as possible to cast *Red Buster,* as an LV 1 Susie can deal 200 damage (or 1/5 of Flowey's HP) with that spell (if powered up).

On Hard Mode, while Red Buster is technically available but can't be used since Kris isn't in the Party, only Rude Buster is available as a big damage move, making normal attacks more viable moves.

In the Obliteration Route, for both game modes, while the above strategies can still be applied, the fight in general will be considerably easier (which is something Flowey himself does mention) because of the higher max HP and damage.
