BATTLE SIMULACRUM - HARD MODE

BATTLE SIMULACRUM
ARTIFICIAL TITAN
The Battle Simulacrum intensifies its assault in Hard Mode. Expect tougher mutants, more frequent powerful abilities, and the introduction of the devastating Necrotic Wave.
Boss Abilities (Hard Mode)
PROTECTION PROTOCOL
Summon a Cabl01d and a DeadBot against every battlefield. The rank of mutants summoned by this ability increases by 1 every Cycle. (Possibly stronger or more frequent in Hard mode)
ERADICATION SPHERES
Deal 5 damage to an entity with Guardian on every enemy battlefield. As a priority, targets those with the most HP. If there is no Guardian, the Boss will target the Psycore instead. (Damage might be higher in Hard mode)
GOLIATH CORRUPTION
Summon a Necro-Goliath against the enemy battlefield with the most mutants alive. (The Goliath might be stronger in Hard mode)
NECROTIC WAVE
When the boss has taken enough damage, it triggers this ability at the start of its next turn, before its normal turn. Deals 2 damage to every non-Psycore enemy Mutant and Building. Each time this ability is triggered, its damage increases by 1. For each entity destroyed, the Psycore takes 2 damage.

TIPS (Hard Mode)
- Use multiple Guardians to protect your Psycores from the Simulacrum's devastating attacks, especially Eradication Spheres.
- Every third turn, the player with the most mutants will face a powerful Proto-Goliath. Destroy it to reward your whole team!
- Avoid crossing thresholds that activate the Necrotic Wave if you have mutants on the verge of dying!
- Necrotic Wave triggers at 75, 50, and 25 HP remaining on the Boss.
- Note: The Boss is a MUTANT. Abilities that only damage PsyCores or Buildings will not affect it.
- Never play Heroics in PVE
