Your evil twin

your evil twin

You are fighting your evil twin.

Well, that's weird. You didn't even know you had an evil twin, but here they are, right in front of you, looking just about as surprised as you feel. But when magnetic north meets magnetic south, only one thing can happen: you must fight!
Your opponent attacks ...

Hit messages:

• Your twin punches out, and you try to block with the mirror hand. It's their strong hand and your weak hand, though, so their blow gets through.
• Your twin jabs you in a particularly tender spot on your side. Apparently they have the same weak spot.
• Your twin goes for the eyes. You try to block the stooge move with a vertical hand placed in front of your nose, but the twin was only going for one eye and bypasses it easily.

It hits you for X damage.

Critical hit message:

Your opponent has a critical hit! It hits you for X damage.

Miss messages:

• Your twin punches out, and you try to block with the mirror hand. It's your strong hand and their weak hand, though, so you stop all of the blow.
• Your twin jabs you in what they think will be a particularly tender spot on your side, based on their own weakness, but on you it's in the mirror spot on the other side. No real harm done.
• Your twin goes for the eyes. A swiftly placed vertical hand catches the fork between the jabbing fingers, and you live to see another day.

Notes

• Defeating this foe 20 times earns the That Old Trope Again? badge.
• deja voodoo doll does not work on this foe. Because of this and of the normally 100% noncombat rate of its area, it can only be encountered by adventuring with positive combat chance modifiers.

• The third hit and miss messages refer to The Three Stooges technique of using a vertical hand to block a split-fingered eye-poke.
