You got an item: Vortex cycle Vortex-cycle.gif

Other Uses

Sometimes during combat, you'll get one of the following super weapon attacks:


A long pair of crackling whips slide out of your suit's wrists, slashing at your foe for W (electric) damage.

or

Twin daggers pop out from your suit by the back of your wrists, and you slash quickly for X + X damage.

or

A tiny little laser pops out from the shoulder of your Vortex suit and carves your initials into your foe. It's really more annoying than painful. Great.

or

The back of your Vortex suit opens up, flipping up a pair of rocket launchers which fire about a million soda-can-shaped missiles at your foe, dealing Y (fire) + Y (sonic) damage.

or

You strike a dramatic pose and shout out at the top of your lungs, "Gunnnnnnnnn BUSTER!" and claw at the front of your suit. A giant vortex of energy blasts out and hits your foe for Z (fire) damage.

Notes

  • W values are Level±2, with a minimum of 3.
  • X values are round(Level/2) - Level, with a minimum range of 2-4. Both values are independent from one another.
  • The "A tiny little laser" messages grants an extra 3XP upon victory (+6FT during the battle). This amount stacks with the number of messages.
  • Y values are Level - 2*Level, with a minimum range of 3-6. Both values are independent from one another.
  • Z values are 20 + floor((Level-5)/10).

  • Mima formula is a reference to Key the Metal Idol anime series.
  • Also refers to the transformable VR series of Veritech Cyclone motorcycles which came from the Genesis Climber MOSPEADA franchise.
