LV Warachia MUGEN #7: Road to Castlevania - Part 3

With the Belmonts and Alucard out of the way, Warachia was now free to enter into Castlevania's inner sanctum. Aside from the usual monsters that crawled out of the belly of the beast, Warachia came out relatively unscathed... until now, as he stares death right in the face, literally.

Death, one of Dracula's most faithful servants, has now appeared before Warachia, hindering his path to Dracula's lair. With Warachia thinking that Death will be as easy as those who already fell at his hands, this will prove to be his toughest fight yet.

Death by UMA is one of the spammiest things I've came across yet. All he does is spam his mini-sickles and his scythe all over the place leaving you extremly few opportunites to make a move, let alone attack as he will put you on the defensive nearly the entire time. Add that to the increased block damage you'll sustain from being stuck on the defensive, and you got some serious trouble. That's not all, Death also has a HUGE skull projectile that is unblockable if you're airborne, and he has two other particular attacks: two tracing green energy orbs that lock on to you and will not let you go until its effect is over. That attack is unblockable while crouching. Also, Death has a vortex which pulls you into it. While being sucked in, you are completely vulnerable to any and every attack that Death dishes out. It can be so bad, that it can result in a psuedo-OHKO from the possible massive damage inflicted. I can also mention that the vortex is broken in itself as if you're unlucky, you won't sucked directly in the vortex, but instead, you'll get tossed around all over the place leaving more opportunites for a quick death, not to mention an awkward death postion lying prostrate in midair (WTF!?).

To add injury to the mix, his stats are pretty bloated. He has exactly 2222 life and 125 attack, but his defense is 65, like that matters when you're assulted by projectiles from all over. In order to reduce the strain on my sanity, I severely nerfed his stats to normal while leaving his defense as it was, but even then, that didn't matter much as he was still just as deadly, so the stat change didn't make that much of a difference.

Oh, yeah. Almost forgot; he is immune to an opponents projectiles. If you shoot a projectile, he'll deflect it with his shield and send it right back at you, so he can only be hit by physical means.

There are several keys in this match: First, and obviously enough, I had to strike extremely fast to get him to a near-death state before his AI becomes active and spams me to hell. Second, and most important, is the Blood Heat ablility. As long as Blood Heat is active, I can recover lost energy, right? So while stuck on the defensive, the constant recharging of my super bar from blocking Death's attacks can keep my Blood Heat going, and keeps my energy up. If not, then a quick demise is all but certain. Also, it was better to attack while Death had his vortex in play as it gives him the greatest chance for him to be open for attack, so that has to be done very fast before the projectiles come back, or he throws his scythe.

So despite a valiant effort to please his master, Death was vanquished, and only Dracula awaits. He's watching me, right as we speak...

O_O you beat death.

[LordVucious]

It wasn't easy. I even had his stats nerfed down, but still he would beat many more times so times before I finally beat the freak; I can rest easy now, but then again... Dracula awaits.

[DarkAdonisVyers]

Death doesn't even have a "death" animation after KO. Not getting this character...

[DarkAdonisVyers]

Actually Dracula is easy compared to this version of Death. I wonder if there's a less cheap Death around...

[Micheal007omega]

Man Death looks like a pain....But he is a castlevania boss after all.

[CoztheSexyBeast666]
