Useless
#003: Poison Lily
Decided to do a PSO comic, this time. And by “decided,” I mean I gave a list of comics that needed to be done to multiple people, and asked which one they thought I should do. Only three people responded, and two of them (Mag and Jess, incidentally) wanted this one. I’ll humor the third person who wasn’t AFK by doing their comic suggestion next time. Hint: It’s a six-panel comic.
Some enemies in games are there to be a minor inconvenience to the player. Mostly, they come in the form of bats. Keese and Zubats, specifically. There are no bats in PSO, but all things considered, I think Poison Lily suits the role well. To Androids, they’re a joke. The only threat they pose to the supreme garbage compactors comes in the form of a quick nip at close range. Not threatening at all. And I think they stop being a threat to Humans and Newmans once they’ve acquired Anti; if they’re poisoned, it can be cured. If they’re paralyzed, wait for the poison attack to override the paralysis, and cure that. God help us all if status afflictions actually stacked.
…Scratch that. Poison Lilies would still be useless.
