Lynx (SF2)



In Shadow Fight 2, Lynx is a Demon. He is the first demon to be encountered. Like all demons in Shadow Fight 2, he has five bodyguards. Lynx is the leader of an assassin organisation known as "The Order". His bodyguards are lesser members of the organisation.

He first appears after the tutorial, when Sensei tells the player that he thinks that he is ready to defeat Lynx, noting that he is still in shape. Lynx does not acknowledge the player's appearance, calling the player a "lowly worm". Lynx believes he is too superior to bother wasting his time fighting the player, and introduces Shin, the weakest member of his organisation. He demands that Shin be defeated before the player can have a chance of battling him.

When Shin is defeated, Lynx steps forward and introduces himself. He explains that he is the leader of the Assassin's Order. He states that the player is not worthy of the honour of battling him, but comments that the player's battle with Shin was entertaining, despite mocking the player as well, stating that their battle was hardly a battle.

Lynx disappears for a time, until all of his bodyguards are defeated in combat and he has no choice but to face the player. When he is defeated, he is in denial. He becomes worried, because his entire organisation is at stake. But when he learns that zone player is only interested in his Seal. He hands over the seal with no complaints, calling the Seal a mere trinket. He tells the player to be gone from his sight, and warns the player that he will not forget what the player has done.

Lynx appears once more at the Gates of Shadows, where he attempts to stop the player from using the demon seals to lock him and the other demons away. At the Gates of Shadows, Lynx must be fought once again but this time he is fought in the company of his fellow demons. Before the fight, he intimidates the player.

After the Gates of Shadows, Lynx must be fought yet again. This time, Lynx is fighting for a good cause, as he does not want the player to re-open the Gates of Shadows in order to free May, who was captured by Titan. He states that Titan is all-powerful and will wreak havoc upon the player's realm if he were to release him.

Abilities
Lynx is the first enemy encountered to use ranged weapons (he uses shurikens, throwing daggers and claws) and his special demon ability is that he can disappear in a puff of smoke and turn invisible. While he is invisible, he can still attack the player. However, the player will automatically turn in his direction, as with all enemies.

Lynx is also the first enemy to utilize weapon enchantments. His claws are enchanted with Time Bomb and Poisoning. The proportionate chance to receive these status effects are very high, regardless if the player's armor is upgraded.

He will only use his throwing weapons and invisibility ability after the player defeats him in Round 1, except at the Gates of Shadow and in Interlude.

Upon reaching the Gates of Shadow he will use Force Wave as his Magic Skill.

Personality
Lynx is an arrogant character, believing very strongly in his abilities and viewing those who serve him as insignificant. He will not entertain any challengers until they have proven "worthy" of the honour of fighting him, a sign of his arrogance and belief of his own superiority over others.

Lynx, despite being arrogant and viewing most other people other than himself as pawns, he does value his organisation the Assassin's Order highly. He is terrified at the prospect of losing his authority over the organisation after he is defeated by Shadow, and is relieved to learn that Shadow is only after the seal he bears.

Lynx does admit when an opponent is stronger than him, however - even if it is extremely rare. This is shown when Lynx opens up about his extreme fear of Titan, and does everything in his power to prevent Titan from being freed. Lynx acknowledges Titan's strength. Lynx's inferiority to Titan is shown when Lynx is rendered incapable of movement from just hearing the voice of Titan ringing in his head.

Guide
Lynx is one of the harder bosses in game because he can be frustrating for newer players due to his bomb and poisoning enchantment, there are some heavily key elements to know: One of the key things to beat Lynx is simply avoiding everything he throws at you. Kite often and use walls to your advantage at close range. Roll towards, duck, or sweep if you can to avoid his weapons, and avoid being in a mid range distance from him, unless you are using the Blood Reaper, Knuckles or the Ninja Sword ( appr. 1 roll). For the other three, chain together low stabs, spin kicks and sweeps in order to disable him from using his ability or planting bombs on you.
 * Lynx's Claws, or all claws for that matter are centered around head hits
 * Poisoning and Time Bomb has a fixed damage, wearing the Snake Harness will not help you that much.
 * Avoiding ranged weapons is easy if you know how to do it properly, and will be a required skill by the middle of Act II, in which all enemies use ranged weapons.

If he ever disappears, move around or go on an attacking frenzy as a critical hit will reveal him.
