There's no doubt that it's undeniable that these two characters are uncertified badasses.
(Then again, Lavitka Horton is even more of a badass to be able to defeat these two while she was blind and they were using their full power. At least, that's apparently what Kim has written down in her "dialogue between four characters" - Serenity, Ilina and these two.)

Who am I talking about? Two post-Aidan bosses. Yes, they use an Aura. Deal with it. 8-)

If you don't want to take a Critical Hit from spoilers, avoid hovering over them.

First off… Invidia herself. One of the twin goddesses of Lightning on Newerth.

Her first phase is the same as Aidan Flamberge's first phase. Boring, right? Well, it's still something.

Her second phase is the same as Ataraxis' final phase. Also boring? Well, rather than one-eyed puppies, Invidia summons… four-winged bats. How 'bout that.

Last, but not least… Nemesis, another of the twin Lightning goddesses on Newerth. And she's working with Invidia.

They use the same attacks, etc. as Heavy Press from the unmodified Cave Story. They also summon Butes for whatever reason; apparently the Confusion Zone is the domain of Confusia.

Plus they both know Blue Bolt-- * fried to a crisp *

It will deal 100 points of damage, and even then, they're still holding back.
At least, that's how I want it to be, but it's Kim's decision, ultimately.

So, what'd'y'all think?

Concerning phrase two: When mimicking Muscle Doctor's tackling attack, wouldn't it make more sense for Invidia to be leaning forwards instead of back?

Also, might want to work on Nemesis' poses to make it seem more like they're intending to their actions. Unless they're intended to be frozen in place, of course.

You should always think of the context of each sprite. It's a lot like acting in this regard.
