Cavalcadence plays Mary 7: Fortissimole backstage safe strat! (Bossmaster: AMPLIFIED)


For anybody who's interested in custom Cadences (or other characters), the official NecroDancer FAQ has some info about creating custom characters, and even has a link to the pinned thread on the official forums, where people have posted some of their custom creations:

So... yep, this is basically a "how to kill Fortissimole with Mary" video! ^_^ This "safe strat" requires 1 bomb (so if you save your initial bomb, this can even be done on a Low Percent run!), and works for all versions of Fortissimole (as long as you get backstage safely).

Like a lot of other players, when I first started playing Mary, Fortissimole was one of the enemies who gave me the most trouble... and while I've since gotten a little better at handling the Fortissimole battle, I was curious as to whether there might be a more consistent "safe strategy" for her.

And so, for the first time since the backstage area of Fortissimole was reduced from 2 rows to 1 (way back in Early Access), I revisited the backstage area for the Fortissimole battle in Practice Mode. =)

Since I was also curious about Aria/Monk, I also did some testing with them... and I actually figured out a Fortissimole safe strat for them first! (see Aria 16)

With some adjustments (and tests, and fails, and further adjustments...), I managed to figure out a safe strat that works for Mary... and that's what this video is! =)


Mary's Fortissimole backstage "safe strat":
- Requires 1 bomb.
- Works not only with the Spear, but (based on some quick testing) also seems to work with the Longsword, Bow, Cutlass, and Warhammer.
- Works for any character who can use one of the above weapons.

So anyway, if any of you are having Fortissimole troubles with Mary (or other characters)... hopefully this video will be of some help!


Basic description:
- Get backstage (from either side, but I'm using the left side in this video, so if you enter from the right, just reverse "left" and "right" in the descriptions below), and clear enough space so that you can place a bomb on either the middle column (4th from the right), or the column just past the middle (3rd from the right).
- Alternate between these two tiles, and wait for Fortissimole to start moving towards the right.
- When Fortissimole lands on the tile down-left from Mary, drop a bomb on the next beat.
- (Note: This works for both "on-beat" (Mary moves to the right on the same beat that Fortissimole moves to the right) and "off-beat" (Mary moves to the left on the same beat that Fortissimole moves to the right), so there's no need to dig-buffer to get this strategy to work.)
- l,l,l,l,r,r,l (i.e. retreat 4 tiles, advance 2 tiles, retreat 1 tile). This will cause Fortissimole to surface.
- R,r,l
- Repeat as necessary


Index:

0:19 Two "On-beat" examples (Mary moves to the right on the same beat that Fortissimole moves to the right).
1:34 Two "Off-beat" examples (Mary moves to the left on the same beat that Fortissimole moves to the right).

Hope that helps, and happy Fortissimole hunting! ^_^
