Since we're going into a boss battle (and it plays into my current strategy) I should probably explain a bit about Omega's charge shot ability.
As described the charge shot gives a damage boost to Omega's next attack and, in my mind at least, works as a sort of multiplier. But the trick is the fact that it gets more powerful the longer he charges it, meaning the effect stacks each time he uses it.
So say his base damage is like 75. Right now he's used charge once but didn't fire, that means the next shot from each revolver will be 75x2 (or 150x2 if he fire both simultaneously). Should he charge again though it will be 75x3 and so and so on.
Basically, the more he uses charge, the more dead he'll make things.
Before Omega could pull the trigger, the pink suited woman jumped out of the way as the turret she set up detected Omega and opened fire. By pure instinct he ducked behind the light barrier Tartys tossed up just as a storm of bullets flew towards them. Wait, bullets? Omega sighed before getting back up out of cover and aiming where the target had been only to see a large black blob and no sign of the enemy. She had escaped, but at least there was no longer any opposition from this pillar.
Well, except for the turret that was still firing at Omega. Though the bullets were a slight tickle going through him, the other angels would find it flesh ripping. Luckily, while it was still focused on him, Tartys lept into action flanking the turret and hitting it from the side triggering an explosion destroying the last obstacle.
With no threat present, Omega slipped his revolvers back into their holsters and tipped his hat towards Tartys and thanked her.”Thank you kindly. With those varmints out of the way, I think it’s about high time we take this pillar.” Following her to the pillar they claimed it for the angels, but just as they did a faint click was heard. Several bombs exploded around the pillar, but their contents was unexpected by the spirit cowboy.
He let out a short cry of pain as he was enveloped by the holy water. Attempting to get out of the trap he used the pillar to push himself off and swam like the dickens away from the liquid now surrounding the pillar. ”It’s just Holy water.” He informed the angels currently wary of the traps just set off. “Them tricky bastards used our own weapons.” He remarked under his breath still washing the remaining holy water off. While it wouldn’t hurt the true hosts of heaven around him, Omega as a simple spirit was still just as susceptible as any ethereal being.
Tartys then made a remark about the water getting colder. Omega took a moment to let the water rush over him now that he was not longer being burned by the holy variety. ”Now that you mention it, it does feel a tad cooler than before...Awww hell.” A slight shaking in the water told Omega exactly what was going on; the leviathan was awake, and it was nearby. ”Come on, we gotta rally up with our pals at Eta before that snake swallows them like rats in a cage! Lieutenant Sharn,” Omega called over one of the Lieutenants. ”Yer squad is gonna stay here and keep this pillar safe. The rest of us,” Omega drew his revolvers again and held them high, ”Let’s go rope us a sea snake!”
Since they aren't characters or troops, do the Bastion turrets count as active forces disputing dominance? Just trying to figure out what Omega's next move will be here.
