Hellkite Pollux

Now bare your fangs and taste my sin

You hear the chains AND WE BEGIN [echo]

Reveal the lies my golden throne

I’ll vaporize what’s set in stone

(Hate) Bare your fangs

(Sceam) hear the chains

(Fate) see my sin

(Scheme) you begin

(Vaporize) Reveal the lies

(Set in stone) My golden throne

Now strike me down

And claim your prize

~Pollux Boss Theme

Pollux, a set of fulgurite manacles acquired after the player defeats the possessed statue which they originally adorned. Possessing powerful close quarters hand to hand techniques and infused with lightning, Pollux is the fastest melee weapon. Acquiring Pollux allows the player to grind cables while in skating mode.

Pollux—Ball Lightning: Each attack can be charged to increase its effectiveness, with some moves gaining new properties. During Overdrive, all attacks are treated as charged to level one, and in Devil Overdrive, are treated as charged to level 3, the max.

Pollux—Overdrive: With Pollux equipped, while in overdrive, Damage is increased by 20%, Armor is increased by 10%, Speed is increased by 20%, and Healing bandaged health at a rate of 10% of expended Fuel.

Pollux—Devil Overdrive: When in Devil Overdrive, Pollux’s Damage, Armor and Speed bonuses are doubled, and you Heal stitched health at a rate of 10% of expended Heat.

Pollux—Combo A:

1. A quick right jab. Inflicts stagger at Charge 2 and crumple at Charge 3.
2. A right straight. Hits an additional time with crackling electricity for each level of Charge.
3. A left hook. Launches enemies at Charge 3.
4. An uppercut. Launches enemies. If A3 was charged to level 3, this attack will chase them into the air. When charged to level 3, calls down a lightning bolt right before the attack proper hits.

Pollux—Combo B:

1. After A2, pause briefly (weapon will flash to indicate timing) then rapidly tap the melee attack button to launch a barrage of punches. (This attack cannot be charged)
2. A front flipping kick that inflicts knock-down. When Charged, is followed up by a lightning strike. At Charge 3, the lightning strike launches enemies.

Pollux—Static Break:

1. At any time with Pollux equipped, press the Overdrive and Melee attack buttons simultaneously to enter Overdrive with a radial explosion which knocks back nearby enemies. This ability can interrupt any animation.

Pollux—Voltaic Eruption:

1. While locked on and holding backwards, press the melee attack button to perform an intense uppercut wreathed in lightning. Charging increases the radius of the effect.

Pollux—Volcanic Thunder:

1. During Voltaic Eruption, tap the melee attack button to follow your enemies skywards with spiraling fury. Inherits Voltaic Eruption’s level of Charge, hitting two additional times for each level of Charge.

Pollux—Triple Thunder God:

1. During Voltaic Eruption, locked on, and holding forwards, press the melee attack button to jump into a rising, spinning kick that grows in power with each strike and inflicts knock-back with the last hit. [attached is the image which initially inspired this particular attack.]

Pollux—Arc Lightning:

1. While locked on, press back to forward then the melee attack button to perform a flying kick that homes in on its target. Can be used in air or on ground. Charging increases the speed, and at Charge 3, pulls nearby enemies into the attack.

Pollux—Tesla Crash:

1. While locked on in midair and pressing backwards, press the melee attack button to perform an aerial axe kick that knocks enemies down and launches the player higher. At Charge 3, enemies struck by Tesla Crash will ground bounce.

Pollux—Descending Angel:

1. While jumping, press the melee attack button to dive to earth with a kick that launches nearby enemies with the shock-wave. Cannot be charged, but does more damage the higher up it is performed from.

Pollux—Short Circuit:

1. While locked on and pressing forward, press the melee attack button to perform a rhapsody of advancing kicks. Charging increases the number of strikes.

Pollux—Overload:

1. During Short Circuit or Combo B1, rapidly tap the melee attack button to cancel into Overload, performing a more powerful barrage of thundering punches.

Pollux—Direct Current:

1. While locked on, press forward to backward then the melee attack button to perform an overhead kick. This attack produces a shock-wave which launches knocked down enemies and knocks launched or standing enemies towards the player. At Charge 3, the shock wave is trailed by lightning strikes.
