Selicy (Boss)

Description
Selicy is a highly mobile boss, shifting around her side of the field more rapidly than other bosses and frequently teleporting to the player's half. The hitboxes of her melee attacks linger for a moment after use, narrowing the window the player has to dodge through them before the next attack in a combo. At higher tiers, her melee attacks hit wider areas and her icicle attacks begin returning for second volleys after their first shots.

When spared, Selicy will occasionally appear at the start of battle to slash three random enemies for 10 damage and apply 1 stack of to each.

Patterns

 * (From Tier 4 and above) Icicles periodically strike random tiles on the player's field. These only deal 10 damage, but they apply 1 stack of on hit.

Advancing Slashes

 * Teleports to her front column, attacking her current tile and the three in front. She repeats this a total of four times, moving leftwards with each attack. At tier 2+, she may zigzag between two rows as she moves leftwards. At tier ?+, the attack may hit up to two tiles above/below her (covering the entire column if she is in one of the middle rows).





Icicle Line

 * Spawns 4 icicles behind her - one in each row - that will shoot leftwards. One icicle will appear and move with a delay, providing a safe row for the first volley that must then be moved out of. At tier 3+, the icicles will also return from the left side of the screen in the same order they were fired and can be dodged in the same way.







Teleport Slashes

 * Teleports to the tile in front of the player, slashing that tile and the three in front after a short delay. This happens a total of 4 times. At tier ?+, she may hit up to two tiles above/below her.

Icicle Slashes

 * Calls 4 icicles down on the edges of the player's side of the field, which do contact damage as long as they persist. She will then teleport to each in the order they were called down, slashing that tile and all surrounding ones.









Icicle Cross

 * Spawns 4 icicles which hover at the edges of the player’s side of the field, following their movement. They will fire at the player in the same order they were spawned, stopping in place and gaining a hitbox just before firing. At tier 4+, the icicles may reappear moving in the opposite direction, each in the row/column it first fired in, again in the order in which they were spawned.



Trivia

 * The line "...why they call me Slicey!" refers to a common fandom nickname for Selicy.

 * The quote "Pssh... Nothin'... personnel... kid." is a reference to a fan made Sonic character named Coldsteel the Hedgeheg. The quote is used word for word, including the misspelling of "personal."
