Environments

Skills and Behavior
This Lunar Chimera walks and slides around the map, usually using the slide to get closer to its target.

Twinshot Attack
When close to a target, the Lunar Chimera charges a barrage of 10 explosive balls for about 3-4 seconds, before firing them in series.

The projectiles move in a helix pattern and deal high amounts of damage. They have a damage coefficient of 1 and a force of 1000. These shots have no homing ability, but they travel quickly and in a wide spread, so avoiding them even at longer ranges can be a challenge.
