Ice Dragon Skasa

Male. Age unknown.
The last of the three dragon children of Bakal that was sent down to the Arad continent.
Like the ice dragon it was, it took up residence in the coldest place in Arad; the Stru Mountains, and caused grief to the local Bantus.
It was the reason the Bantus traveled beyond the Stru Mountains and intruded the De Los Empire, an incident now known as the Nomad Rebellion.
It also wiped out the Imperial Army that marched over the Stru Mountains to subjugate the Bantus and the ice dragon at the same time.
It recently woke up from its sleep for the first time in thirty years.

Move Set (Total War)

Phase 1 ~ 2

• Ice Crystal: Just like Hismar and Spirazzi with their main core pattern, Skasa has one as well. For this one in particular, everyone will have a frozen gauge next to them and there are some ice crystals that spawn across the map that grow over time, and if either players or Skasa hit those crystals, they'll increase in size by force. Going near a crystal's range absorbs its freezing energy to give this notice; Your body starts freezing is when the gauge slowly begins increasing. Once it completely fills up, that player temporarily becomes  Frozen (Status) for a while, making them invulnerable to Skasa's attacks.

• Body Press: Throughout the entire fight, Skasa constantly attempts to slam down on targeted players through hopping in and outside the frozen lake with a AoE red circle that creates Ice Spikes each time from entering or exiting.

• Cracked Ice Sheet: Whenever Skasa's attacks affect the floor, there will be a cracked area that inflicts  Slow Down (Status) on anyone who steps into one.

• Ice Breath: Similar to Spirazzi's Poison Breath, he'll dash from either the left or right side to charge up to spew out an icy breath. Staying behind Skasa is the only way to avoid being hit.

• I'll show you something worse than death: Skasa begins to create Cracked Ice Sheets that'll spawn out red circles to form waves of ice spikes, then he'll roar out to create more spikes.

• Writhe in fear!: Upon entering Phase 2, Skasa does a series of three to four targeted Body Presses, then during the last one, he gets into the middle section to roar out another circular wave of ice spikes.

• Berserk: There are three different AoE-centric berserk patterns Skasa can do anytime through a timer gauge, and through the usage of Ice Crystal, these can be avoided without being too heavily damaged:
  • Ice Dragon's Cry: An extended version of I'll show you something worse than death, Skasa begins creating numerous Cracked Ice Sheets on the floor. Once the gauge below empties out to launch a full screen roar to spread ice spikes.
  • Ice Dragon's Rage: Skasa repeatedly does physical attacks for a while. then he'll go airborne to do a double, full screen Body Slam which covers the entire area with Ice Spikes.
  • Ice Dragon's Wrath: From either left or right, Skasa powers up to a more fatal version of Ice Breath that can potentially kill anyone.
