You think you can just walk into this conflict, don't you? Well I have news for you... This isn't your fight!
- Serpentine, before his first fight with Lilac in Fortune Night


Serpentine is Lord Brevon's loyal and most powerful mercenary. Unable to resist Brevon's gift of robotic arms, he was infected with a virus that forever enslaved him to Brevon's will. Since then, Serpentine had become part of Brevon's army, rising through the ranks and eventually becoming his top general.

Personality and Abilities

Those who cross Brevon will die!
- Serpentine, from within the Robopanther

Serpentine is a fanatic loyalist who is Brevon's most powerful mercenary. As a viper, he himself had always wished to have arms, so when Brevon offered him mechanical arms, he couldn't refuse. Of course, it came with a price; upon equipping these arms, he was sadly infected with a virus that drove him to the point of insanity and made him completely obedient to Brevon's will.

Serpentine is shown to be an expert with artillery. As a matter of fact, he can be seen with a pair of blasters, or he can also use a flamethrower or wrist missiles as a means of attack. He's also a remarkable pilot, shown with knowledge on how to control the transforming Robopanther and even a Gunship. On his own, he is even capable of gliding above the ground, faster than a normal snake. He's fairly powerful on his own, which makes him a formidable opponent, but his over-the-top ego, along with his fanatic loyalty to Lord Brevon, is in fact, his biggest weaknesses.

When he mutates within the Dreadnought before fighting the heroines for the last time, he becomes a draconic version of himself roughly twice as big as his original appearance. In this form, he can lunge with his arms with force, shoot flames along the ground, or fire lasers from his fingers.

Boss Fight

Get over here you bug eyed freak!
- Serpentine, when the character runs too far away from him.

Serpentine is the midboss of Fortune Night and the pilot of the Gunship in Jade Creek. After attacking, Serpentine will usually hover quickly to the player's flanks, alternating each time. Before the fight with Serpentine in Jade Creek, the player is granted a Water Shield.

Name Description
Pistol Burst Three weak pistol shots with a slight spread. Misses completely at point blank range, easy to avoid. Can be blocked by Milla's Shield and deflected back at him.
SerpPistol
Plasma Storm Serpentine will fire a torrent of shots into the air, which will land near him. He will also generate a shield to protect him from being attacked while he's firing. The Area-of-Effect is substantially increased during the fight in Jade Creek. Jumping above Serpentine while he's firing will cause the player to get Stunlocked while taking heavy damage. Milla can block the falling shots if she's carrying a Phantom Block.
SerpRain
Flamethrower Serpentine will fire a flamethrower up and down in the player's direction, while occasionally jumping forward.
SerpFire
Missile When putting enough distance between the player and Serpentine, he will fire a Missile that slowly traces the player's altitude and locks on to them.

During Jade Creek, after taking enough punishment, Serpentine will drop at least 3 Health Petals, then he'll take control of his Gunship, attacking the player from there.

Serpentine's Mutant Form is the boss of Final Dreadnought Round 2. His attacks will become dangerously large, and he'll attack faster in a pinch. Serpentine will usually punch after every attack he does, but not every time. If damaged enough, his face will appear broken, meaning he's close to being defeated. There will also be bottomless pits on both sides of the arena, so try not to be too reckless with Dragon Boosts if playing as Lilac. Before the battle, the player is granted 4 Extra Lives, with a 5th one if the player is fast enough to run forward and jump to it after Serpentine transforms and breaks the floor.

Boss Attacks

  • Charge Punch: Serpentine launches forward towards the player with a highly charged melee attack that can be easily jumped over if at a distance.
  • Blast Wave: Serpentine jumps into the air and drops a projectile on the ground that pauses before quickly moving in the player's direction.
  • Flamethrower: Serpentine fires a stream of advancing flames that move in a zig-zag pattern, disappearing after a second. This attack can be deflected by Milla's Shield.
  • Scattershot: Serpentine fires multiple shots in four different directions simultaneously in the player's direction and will Stunlock them. Serpentine will slightly move backward just before he fires. This attack can be deflected by Milla's Shield.
