Notes:
-The issue with being unable to react to X-Kai's grab has been resolved, I've set the intro sound effect to also play via the animation before the grab starts, with a bit of practice you can finally evade flawlessly and hug X-Kai until your heart's content. Due to how X-Kai is coded, I am unable to put a visual effect for those that play without sound.
-Because I'm unsure how the difficulty of this Raid will be for some, for practicing players I have added a unique shield item that gives a special defensive status, on jumping it will grant the player 1s true iframes(4s cooldown). Unlike my last Raid's practice item, I've put no penalty on this one.
-For the Challenge tab, I wanted to make it a more unique experience than usual, in addition it was designed somewhat for the mod players to have a bit more competition with getting the most perfect runs, however it can be perfected all the same with vanilla content. The normal tab has been kept authentic to the original TW Raids(Crusade ver, Phase 5).
-Standalone, does not require my other Raid Simulator Mods.
-Is not a recreation/based on the Nebula Joy version's attempt.
Explanations of some hidden game mechanics:
-Without dodging, X-Kai's hardcoded grab can only be directly blocked by true iframes(invincibility that also negates negative status). For spamming slow skills that lack true iframes, I suggest timing and activating them while jumping at the height of his head, where X-Kai can't reach.
-Each time X-Kai grabs the player he becomes stronger and obtains a new ability of X, once the player has been grabbed twice, X-Kai unlocks Giga Crush and will spam it whenever the player is close, granting him long invincibility frames and thus effectively ruining the current run(Hardcoded).
The following only regards the challenge tab,
-The unique debuff caused by the Ray Arrows will disable the use of true iframes for 6 seconds.
-For more easily dealing with the Ultimate form chase ending battle, you can lure X-Kai's Novastrike into a wall and hug him until the timer ends, but be weary of the reversed controls inflicted by Ultimate form's skills.
-X-Kai's Headbutt removes a single buff on contact, while Novastrike will remove up to 2.
-Each hit by X-Kai's charged shot and homing shots will reduce the player's damage by 1.25%(Lasts 3s), this can stack up to 100(125%).
-Every 10 seconds on hit, X-Kai will obtain the Third Armor defensive shield that reduces damage taken by 50%(Lasts 5s), the shield's activation will remove all defense break debuffs regardless of efficacy, to be clear, this only applies to the activation itself and not the whole active period of the shield.
