Vamoe Guardian Lucia Demo v .938

In the process of uploading it right now, but when it’s finished that link should work.
Although lots of work was put into this version, with some spiffy new features, in my opinion the biggest feature to look forward to is the Mana Incarnation battle.  I personally think it’s pretty easy, after having playtested it a dozen times, but I imagine if you’re a first-timer it’ll wipe the floor with you.  It can be pretty damn intense, too.  I assume the slope will be something like this:

1) Starting off.  You don’t know how to handle the boss.  You end up getting wiped out within four turns, max.

2) You start to see its weaknesses.  You’ll need more experience to get it down pat, but it’s progress…

3) After about 5 to 10 battles… You manage to figure out how it works.  Now whenever it uses *that* move you rage at the monitor.  Especially when you were *so* close…

4) At some point you understand what you need to do to win.  You get past the first stage and breeze through the second stage.  Success!

5) Now it’s a breeze.  If you’re lucky, anyway.  Bad luck can still wipe you out, but for the most part you can clear it with less stress involved.
