Legacy

Legacy is the cheerful, friendly Guardian who serves as the boss for Deepverse. Upon defeat, they drop Negation Pulse for Nina, or Osafune for Ace.

Attacks
Although Legacy does not attack the player directly, they make use of their Shapes for various attacks. For their first phase, they starts moving themself and the shapes to randomly determined locations marked by red ! marks. There is no indication which Shape (or Legacy) is moving to which spot, however, though Legacy will not move until all their Shapes their new positions. After moving their Shapes, Legacy will always take one of three actions:


 * Simply move all Shapes and themself again without taking any other action
 * Command all Shapes to come to them, indicated by Legacy making a :O face and three red ! marks surrounding Legacy. Once the Shapes come to them, they will orbit Legacy for a short time while they slowly chases down the player.
 * Command all active Shapes to fire upon the player all at once, indicated by Legacy making a :) face for a split second. The circle Shape will fire twelve sparks in all directions that dissipate when they hit a surface, the cross Shape will fire a series of wall-travelling sparks in all diagonal directions, and the triangle will fire three fans of five projectiles each aimed at the player and spreading out in a 30 degree cone.

Upon hitting around 50% HP, Legacy will go into their second phase and call their Shapes to themself. During this second phase, they are protected by a shield that blocks all projectiles from the outside, forcing the player to get up close and within the shield to damage Legacy. They will move around the arena similarly to the first phase, but will always attack afterwards. They do so by summoning five copies of either the cross or triangle Shape in random spots on the arena, and having them all fire upon the player one by one in a randomly determined order. This cycle will continue until Legacy is defeated.

Tips
It is possible to freeze the Shapes with Nina's Crystal Wave (dropped from Echobeast). While their Shapes are frozen, Legacy is unable to take any actions until they thaw out. If frozen with the Crystal Wave+Persist fusion which extends the freeze duration to 30 seconds, this can essentially break Legacy's AI and trivialize the entire fight.

Although they have a rather high amount of HP even in Stage 1, it is possible to destroy the Shapes and make them unavailable to Legacy for the remainder of the fight. This will affect Legacy's second phase in the following ways:


 * If the circle is destroyed, Legacy will not have a shield available to them during the second phase
 * If the cross or triangle are destroyed, Legacy cannot use them to attack the player

If all three Shapes are destroyed, Legacy will simply move to random parts of the arena every few seconds and do nothing else.
