Ryuuta's ultimate "dragon drive" form, the fabled "ultima form".

Ryuuta is unique among dragonkin as when using a dragonstone he doesn't turn into a typical dragon. No. Instead, he transforms into a dragon/fairy cyber hybrid called a "drive form". This ability is known as "Dragon Drive" and is exclusive to Ryuuta, who is the only entity in history who is known to possess this technique.

Ryuuta appears in the game Chronicles IV: The Last Dragon's Elegy, and in that game each character has an "S-Talent" they can use when their "Talent Gauge" is at 100%. Usually this is some sort of screen-clearing super move or some other kind of powerful attack, but for Ryuuta exclusively it's a transformation.

Based on which dragonstone is turned on in the relic menu (Chronicles IV is an action RPG/2D metroidvania) Ryuuta can transform into a variety of forms when using his S-Talent "Dragon Drive", each for being specially suited for certain scenarios. Only one dragonstone can be active at a time, and only affect Ryuuta's S-Talent with no other party-wide abilities typical of most relics.

Valor Form: The first form obtained, gained at the beginning of Chapter 4 when S-Talents are first unlocked. Used when the Valorstone is activated. In this form Ryuuta's movement speed is drastically increased and he jumps significantly higher, but he cannot double jump or dash. This form is focused primarily on attack. For Ryuuta's primary attack in this form Ryuuta slashes with his twin phaseblades, shooting out firey beams with massive range that pierce through walls and multiple enemies. For his secondary attack (Press X/Triangle) Ryuuta lets out a firey aura that has massive range and hits multiple times.

Wisdom Form: The second form obtained, gained at the end of Chapter 10 upon reaching Dragalia Peak. Used when the Wisdomstone is activated. This form specializes primarily in ranged attacks, with Ryuuta's primary attack being shooting out homing blue magick shots in a rapid fire and his secondary being shooting out two massive lasers that cycle around him. In this form Ryuuta can float above the ground freely and dash in midair, though his midair dash is very short, but can be extended infinitely.

Instinct Form: The third form obtained, gained when Ryuuta wins the tournament in Chapter 15. Used when the Instinctstone is activated. This form specializes in speed above all else, allowing Ryuuta a 8-directional dash with infinite reach which can also bounce off walls. When bouncing into an opponent using this dash, they become "locked on", allowing Ryuuta to spam his regular attack to rush the opponent super fast in multiple directions. While dashing or using his rush move Instinct Ryuuta is invincible and will pervade all attacks. Instinct Form's secondary attack is dashing on the ground or midair, creating a massive shockwave that covers the entire screen that's dashed through.

Jeht's awakened form that he gains when he confronts his shadow, the manifestation of the guilt he feels for a tragedy he cannot remember. Jeht's awakening allows him to craft additional equipment at the inventor's table as well as gives him access to his s-class, the hexblade.

The hexblade is a class specializing in ailments, inflicting ailments on foes with far more ease than any other class and being able to inflict multiple ailments at once. His strongest art is "Ailment Break", dealing physical almighty damage to all foes that gets stronger and stronger the more ailments they are inflicted with. He also has various other powerful buffing arts such as Item Blessing, which temporarily allows single target items to become multi target (especially useful for spamming Sol Juices) and Duplicate, which allows his basic attack to hit +5 times once. Combine this with power charge and Jeht becomes unstoppable!

The Hexblade's passive arts include the following:

Ailment Null: Nullify all ailments.

Cursed Blade: Physical attacks can inflict ailments. 10% chance per ailment.

AP Curse: Gain AP when foes are inflicted with ailments.

Speed Demon: Gain STR equal to 25% of the user's SPD.

Quickening: Gain +1 full action when below 50% HP.

The hexblade's talent art is bellowing bounty, which deals colossal physical almighty damage to all foes that grants Bx (money) equal to the damage dealt.

Stacy after awakening her true powers as a master summoner. When she inherited Sensayu's full power as a summoner, a single green horn grew from her forehead, marking her as a true summoner. Apparently the horn is extremely sensitive to the touch. in this form Stacy gains a sleeker, more sci-fi outfit more in tune with Aetheria's ultra-high-tech culture.

This includes Spirit Energy, a stronger form of the freelancer's mind charge art, reraise, which allows one ally to automatically revive with 25% HP after being defeated, and Scathe, which deals colossal almighty damage to all foes while lowering all their stats. All very powerful arts, and reraise is dang near essential for the Sensayu superboss fight.

Tayo after awakening to his dark powers as the Archon Baetylus' servant.

Tayo was born in the slums of Downtown Eternia. His mother died when he was young, and one day when he was starving on the streets half beaten to death by a local gang, he was visted by Baetylus, spirit of the crimson meteor and archon of wrath. Baetylus offered to make a deal with him: Baetylus would grant Tayo a powerful body that didn't need to eat or sleep, and in exchange Tayo would become Baetylus' eternal servant, ensuring that the crimson meteor, a calamity that nearly wiped out humanity 1000 years ago, would return.

Tayo then became a depraved bandit, looting and killing at his heart's desire. However, one day while raiding a certain village and burning it to the ground, an alfar woman pleaded with his to stop this rampage and destruction. Right before Tayo was about to land the killing blow, the alfar said these words: "you can still be redeemed."

This words shouldn't have phased Tayo. But for some reason, they pierced him to his very core and made him question everything. Could person like him ever be redeemed? No, it was impossible. He was a monster, a servant of the archon. He could accomplish nothing in his life but destruction. But was that really true? As Tayo walked away from the devastation he himself had caused, Tayo finally came face to face with the consequences of his actions. The Ferngulf Holy Knights, they have caught him.

Tayo tried to fight back against the knights, but there were too many of them and they were too strong. These weren't ordinary knights, this was their elite squadron, the best of the best of their entire guild. Tayo, even with his dark powers granted by the archon, didn't stand a chance. Tayo, beaten half to death, was thrown into the river below, believed to be dead.

Some time later a kindly cleric from Banna found Tayo's body still barelly clingling onto life and nursed him back to health. Tayo, after awakening, didn't know what to do with his life. At that moment he decided that his life as a bandit was over, and he would begin a new life as a cleric of the eternian church to seek redemption from his past sins. So, Tayo began wearing a bandana to hide the archon's mark embedded in his right eye and began serving the eternian church as a cleric.

Many years later Tayo came across Koros while attempting to place a ward in Banna Woodlands to reduce the growing population of terrors (monsters) in the woods. They decided to team up to defeat the wicked Baron Ozma and save the world from the crimson meteor's fated return. However, they were tricked. Baron Ozma wasn't responsible for the coming calamity, but rather it was Trello, prophet of Morda Vael to prophetized the fall of the crimson meteor in the first place. Ozma actually opposed Trello, and planned to use the Ars Solaris, the legendary sword, to anihilate Morda Vael and defeat Trello for good.

As a reward for stopping the one man who stood in the way of Trello and the Archon's plans, Baetylus appeared before the heroes Koros, Tayo, Zenith, and Stacy and "gifted" Tayo with new dark powers, the power of the Ravager class. This caused Tayo for forcibly "awaken", a special ability that some users of asterisks (class-granting magick items) can use that causes their appearance to change corresponding to a massive power increase as well as unlocking their own, unique class exclusive to them independent of any asterisks. This is actually how Asterisk are produced, by copying the abilities of an awakening down into data and then transmitting that learned experience into someone's ether (magickal energy), allowing one to gain the powers and mild appearance changes of heroes from long ago.

Tayo initially sealed away these powers within himself, wishing to never use them as he believed that him using them could risk Baetylus possessing him. However, after a conversation with his shadow (inner darkness) in Downtown Eternia, the place where he first made the pact with Baetylus, he decided that he should use this power granted to him for good rather than evil, and unlocked the ability to learn arts for his Ravager class.

In battle the Ravager uses a variety of weapons including swords, axes, spears, and bows, the most of any class. Unlike Koros' saintblade and Jeht's hexblade S-Classes, Tayo's ravager class cannot use katana. The Ravager's arts primarily include physical and elemental attacks that inflict various "element breaks" on the enemy, causing them to become weak to specific elements. This feature is incredibly useful as hitting an enemy weakness gains the player's party additional actions in battle, allowing you to change the flow of battle drastically in your favor. The Ravager's talent art is "Arc of Anxiety", which reduces the opponent's press turns for their next turn to 1. The Ravager's passive arts meanwhile include:

Sturdy Stance: Nullify critical hits.

Guardian Force: Reduce damage taken by 20% when above 80% HP.

Arcane Enchantment: Raise the power of all elements by 5% for all allies at the beginning of battle.

Vampiric Edge: Drain +5% HP/AP lifesteal.

Adaptive Stance: Deal +10% damage when above 50% HP and take 20% less damage when below 50% HP.

The strongest superboss in my game Chronicles Meteorfall. The only enemy to be at Lv9999, HE is an extremely strong foe, almost impossible to defeat. He begins every battle using the unbelievably powerful almighty art "God's Wrath" which does 1.3 MILLION damage at base. Thankfully it can be reduced using the endgame seraph charm and high enough RES, but without heavy preparation God's Wrath will guarantee a full party wipe before the fight can actually begin.

ELLUM AVATAR has a staggering 4 press turns, but rarely makes use of all of them. In turn 1, which he always goes first in due to always having advantage, ELLUM AVATAR will only use God's Wrath followed by waiting for his other 3 actions. On Turn 2 ELLUM AVATAR will use an incredibly powerful fire art, "Flames of Gehenna", before waiting for another 3 actions. Every turn after that ELLUM AVATAR will replace one of HIS wait actions with another incredibly powerful art of the fire, water, thunder, or force elements. These attacks hit 9 times and deal absurd damage, a damage tier even higher than insane. (moderate<major<massive<severe<unreal<colossal<insane<absurd)

After ELLUM AVATAR goes through adding each of these elemental attacks he will then proceed to use God's Wrath TWICE before repeating the cycle, each time the cycle repeats using God's Wrath an additional time until he no longer waits when using God's Wrath, eventually using God's Wrath FOUR TIMES IN A ROW. Here is ELLUM AVATAR's attack pattern laid out for easy viewing.

Turn 1: God's Wrath, Wait, Wait, Wait

Turn 2: Fires of Gehenna, Wait, Wait, Wait

Turn 3: Fires of Gehenna, Elder Dias, Wait, Wait

Turn 4: Fires of Gehenna, Elder Dias, Thunder of God, Wait

Turn 5: Fires of Gehenna, Elder Dias, Thunder of God, Ten Plagues

Turn 6: God's Wrath, God's Wrath, Wait, Wait

Turns 7-11: Repeat turns 2-5

Turn 12: God's Wrath, God's Wrath, God's Wrath, Wait

Turns 13-17: Repeat turns 2-5

Turn 18: God's Wrath, God's Wrath, God's Wrath, God's Wrath

Turn 19+: Repeat cycle from turns 13-18.

As you can see here, you REALLY want to kill ELLUM AVATAR before he gets to even turn 6 and starts spamming God's Wrath multiple times per turn. But how can you possibly do that when his HP is 7.3 MILLION max? Not only that, but ELLUM AVATAR nulls EVERY element sans almighty, celestial, and the special elements (love, greed, hunger, etc) ELLUM AVATAR also counters any use of Kaiser Dragon or Obliterate with Armageddon, instantly ending the fight. And finally, most deadly of all, if all your party members fall, ELLUM AVATAR will use his strongest attack: CURSE OF EXTINCTION. What does this attack do? Well, IT DESTROYS THE UNIVERSE, DELETING YOUR SAVE FILE PERMANENTLY! So this fight has a massive risk element to it as well, since if you can't close the game fast enough when you lose, say goodbye to your save data!

The only feasable way to beat ELLUM AVATAR is first overlevel to Lv999 and then grind stat boosters to get enough RES to heavily resist all of ELLUM AVATAR's attacks (around 4500 RES, the max amount of RES that actually does something, reducing damage by a wopping 90%), enough STR or MAG to deal the maximum amount of damage consistently (max STR/MAG is 99,999), and enough HP to survive a single God's Wrath. (more than 130,000 HP) Once the battle starts stack as many press turn additions and damage multipliers as possible. And finally after you survive the opening God's Wrath, use the enemy art Smash Break to make ELLUM AVATAR weak to smash AND SPAM THE HECK OUT OF MULTI-HIT!

A nearly useless move early-game that only deals 2 hits of highly lackluster smash damage (only 40% of a regular hit), every 20 levels Multi-Hit gains one additional hit. On a regular game that isn't too big as even at the regular max level of Lv99 multi-hit would only hit 6 times. However, if you raise the level cap to Lv999, Multi-Hit hits 56 TIMES for a character at the true max of Lv999! Absolutely absurd! ELLUM AVATAR has 44,444 DEF so you will only be hitting for 10% damage, but that matters little when you're dealing 99,999 damage a hit 54 times per action. With this strategy the seemingly impossible ELLUM AVATAR can be defeated in only a single turn!

There might be other strategies, but I haven't figured any of them out yet. Please experiment once my game finally releases and find the strategy that works for you!

"Why would you ask that question? Of course I'm prettier than Pyra as a mermaid! Duh! My beauty knows no bounds, even in this form!"
