Arcade/Arcade: Battle Bosses

Lore

“	▶️  "Dude, seriously? I can see your weak point. It's glowing!"
	— Pulsefire Ezreal

Deep within Arcadia's servers lies a sinister series of glitches known to all gamers as the Battle Bosses. Their corrupted code has brought them newfound freedom... but also new challengers. To complete their deletion of the Arcade World, many of the Bosses have agreed to put aside their differences (until it's... inconvenient).

Arcade Villains

• Battle Boss Bel'Veth
  Chromas: Catseye, Emerald, Obsidian, Rainbow, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire, Tanzanite
  True final boss of the hit 1998 RPG "Initial Reverie VIII," Bel'Veth has become a staple of the series thanks to fan popularity and her storyline about assimilating all of reality into herself. Recruited into the war in Arcadia by Veigar, she has decided to ignore his commands, annihilate everything in her path, and assimilate all of Arcade World into herself. Who could have seen it coming?
• Battle Boss Blitzcrank
  Chromas: Catseye, Citrine, Pearl, Rainbow, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire, Turquoise
  A boss hailing from a popular science fiction shooter, Blitzcrank is well known in the gaming community for cheap mechanics, powerful attacks, and a massive health pool. Veigar fittingly made them the gatekeeper of his personal fortress, because Veigar hates fun.
• Battle Boss Brand
  The fire boss from a bestselling action game, Brand has no intention of returning to his original machine. He'd rather see all of Arcade World burn to the ground, to be rebuilt in the image of the villains who rule it.
• Battle Boss Malzahar
  A boss hailing from a long-forgotten game cabinet, Malzahar broke free from the last remaining copy of his game to invade nearby machines. Now he has made his way to Arcade World, shredding the code of his enemies with an army of intelligent viruses.
• Battle Boss Nocturne
  • 4Battle Boss Nocturne (4Level 2)
    “Don’t start the victory lap yet, little centaur.”
    “You can run, but you can’t escape your nightmares!”
• Battle Boss Qiyana
  Chromas: Catseye, K.O., Obsidian, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire, Turquoise
  A princess constantly in need of saving in the 1981 arcade port of “Super Ixaocan Bros.,” Qiyana needed very little convincing to empower herself with malignant Battle Boss code. She wasted no time testing her newfound abilities on the aforementioned Super Ixaocan Brothers. They're dead now. She lives in their castle.
• Final Boss Veigar
  Chromas: Mythic
  Once merely a mini-boss with a Napoleon complex, Veigar has ripped into the code of Arcade World to summon hundreds of other bosses to his side. Together they'll stop at nothing to reach his ultimate goal: take the world for himself, and give the heroes a final Game Over.
  • 4Final Boss Veigar (4Grand Overseer Veigar)
    “At last, you have come to challenge me. But this isn’t even my final form!”
    “Foolish fools! Prepare to face your doom!”
  • Final Boss Veigar Mythic Chroma
• Battle Boss Yasuo
  Chromas: Amethyst, Aquamarine, Catseye, K.O., Meteorite, Obsidian, Rose Quartz, Ruby
  One-time protagonist of the 1979 cult classic “Hasagi,” Yasuo was infected with Veigar's malignant code after the Battle Boss takeover of Arcadia. He maintains his impossibly complex gameplay patterns and high-damage attacks, but now fights for the forces of evil.
• Battle Boss Ziggs
  A boss originally from Super Yordle Bombers, Ziggs was transported to Arcade World for one purpose: blow up everything. Armed with his signature explosives (and the programming to use them!) he has wrought digital destruction the way only an angry mini-boss can.
  • 3Battle Boss Ziggs (3Level 2,  Short Fuse)
    “SUFFER LIKE V DID!”
    “HERE COMES THE SUPER MEGA EXPLODEY KAPLODEY BOMB!!!”
    Place your bombs carefully, folks.
