History

Buffon is a artificial intelligence that monitors and controls the entirety of Castle of the Dead, serving as Luke’s assistant. She monitors everything by remote control robots inside the Castle similiar to Iron Aim & Iron Beast. Even though she was created as an emotionless AI, at some point she developed a one-sided love towards Luke.

Move Set

• Shield: Upon entering the room, Buffon casts a shield around her that can reduce damage while being attacked. Breaking the shield will instantly activate her berserk pattern, Tesla Coil. Buffon will be vulnerable for a certain amount of time until she regenerates her shield again, repeating the process.

• Drones: There are two different drones that constantly move above the room casting either a blue or red circle on the floor:
  • Blue Drone: If skills that uses Clear Cubes while players are in the circle, they'll have their skills reset on max cooldown.
  • Red Drone: Buffon reflects damages back at those who attack her if they're in the circle which can lead to being instantly killed.

• Gattling Gun: Buffon will summon gattling guns from the ceiling that will randomly follow a player and fire bullets at a high frequency, dealing low damage and knockback.

• Magnet: The crane will hover a magnet over a random player and can pull in nearby party members on contact. This move can also cancel out skills if players are inside.

• Laser Gun: Two laser guns that hang from the ceiling will shoot out lasers across the room that leaves a trail on the ground, they'll fade away after a certain amount of time. Stepping foot on those trails will cause  Burn (Status) and very lethal damage.

• Lukebots: A crane will drop down Lukebots which attempts to attack the Bomb that's centered in the room. Dispatch of them immediately.

• Bomb: There is a bomb in the middle of the room in which you must protect from advancing Luke Bots that attack it. Failure to protect the bomb will cause a explosion that wipes out all party members.

Berserk

• Tesla Coil: When Buffon's shield breaks, players will be knocked back and she'll cover the entire floor with electricity that can instantly kill players if they come right in contact with it. Staying inside the Drone's circle while moving along with it can protect them from the attack.
