「V??oid Fiend」

Harness the power of the void as void fiend, from the risk of rain series.






Void fiend is a strong glass cannon with great ranged options, going for a more defensive playstyle but still with good close range buttons, that is, in its normal self, as void fiend also has a constantly filling corruption meter, this meter fills up when you get hit or strike killing blows, if fully filled, it transforms you into the corrupted form.
The corrupted form is a more drastic version of void fiend, with better mobility, better frame data on some moves and variants of the specials, only that it trades this for being even easier to defeat, as it becomes lighter and with a more horizontal recovery, managing these 2 versions is something you have to learn if you want to succeed!



As previously stated, the corruption meter will always slowly march forward, that said, there are actions that affect this, getting hit will give out meter relative to the damage of the hit, while landing hits that give the kill vfx will also give you a hefty amount of bar.
Corruption affects the general physics of void fiend, making him faster, jump higher and fall quicker, it also reduces the startup on fstrong and the landlag of most aerials.
Finally, it replaces your long reaching ftilt for a damage-racking combo ftilt that you can cancel by pressing again to draw oponents into you for follow ups, as well as forward, neutral and up special.

Void fiend charges up a ball of plasma with two different charges, a smaller, weaker version useful for a quick poke, or a strong finishing variant.
In this version, the ball no longer has two states, it has a single version you have to hold special to charge, this one is even stronger than the previous version's fully charged shot, but arcs with gravity and takes longer to charge.

Void fiend will extend its arm forward, morphed into a tentacle, this tentacle can grab the opponent and drain it of life, clearing your corruption meter by a bit and healing you, while on the air however, it becomes a simple long reaching poke
instead of a long ranged grab, it becomes a close range stun great for combos that damages you for a bit of percentage, but also fills your corruption meter by a bit, so you can stay corrupted for longer.

For down special, if you have 25% or more of you meter filled, void fiend places down a void seed that gets rid of that 25%, while creating a zone of void fog, this will damage anyone inside, but it will also cause void fiend to gain meter at a faster rate than normal from the fog damage.

Void fiend slips into the void and flies in an arc, it has great vertical reach, is intangible while inside the void, and only puts you into freefall if you use your double jump beforehand.
The corrupted version however, trades the verticality for a fast low commitment dash to pressure your opponents, it never puts you into freefall, but it becomes a mighty weakness if you are offstage.



Void fiend and risk of rain were developed by hopoo games and are owned by Gearbox Software.
Victory theme is a segment from "A Glacier Eventually Farts (And Don't You Listen to the Song of Life)" by Chris Christodoulou (check him out he is AMAZING)
This mod is NOT for profit, and it was made for the horror jam.

Special thanks:
- DarkDarkurai - just an awesome guy, helped me answering a few questions in a pinch.
- ElemAngell - he was really supportive throughout the entire development process, helped me get a quick playtest, and with the concepts for dattack and taunt.

..and so it comes... for all of us.
