Bori's Community Service Part 1: The Dry Run

Description
After his extradition to the DSR, Bori was preparing himself for several consecutive life sentences' worth of reading and self-improvement. However, owing to extremely good behavior (including entertaining the entire prison cafeteria with shadow puppetry), evidence from Liv Kennedy's trial and a deposition from Rion, the authorities have offered a deal. Bori will be granted conditional release in exchange for "Community Service", using his skills for the law. Of course, he'll have to do some combat testing first- it looks bad when prisoners die during rehabilitation. Fortunately Bori's totally been hitting the weights in the rec yard. You just can't see his six pack because he's self conscious about it.

FEATURES:

4 levels with Bori as the sole player character: The Warm-Up, Hell In A Cell, No Pain, No Gain and All You Can Heat

These levels are intended to show off the unique elements of Bori as a player character, which are capable of some surprisingly deep interactions despite his limited ability set. It's intended to be the first of a series, as our favourite Less-Lethal Pyromancer takes on new threats and new environments.


Some advice if you're stuck:

1. Building up Mana is not always a good thing. Bori can only attack with it once a turn, which burns up all his Mana- if you're Drawing four Mana's worth of Mildfire to kill a two-health enemy, ask yourself if it might be better left where it is. It might be a useful chip damage barrier against enemies later, or simply provide fuel to take down a stronger target.

2. Target prioritization is especially key with Bori. His damage ceiling is insanely high, but his attack is one use per turn and single target only- make it count!

3. Bori can take far more punishment than you'll be used to- but his health runs out surprisingly fast. Sometimes, the key to victory is knowing when you can take a hit to accomplish something else.

4. Since Bori can't use cover, sight lines are key! Always be aware of what Trackers can see, what Mildfire you can see, etc.

Have fun, and let me know how it went for you! This is my first mission ever and it's meant to be ambitious. Enjoy!

This mission unleashed my inner pyromaniac. I set the whole map on fire & watched as people slowly burned to their painful deaths, rather than making it quick with incinerate.

Last level is challenging but fun. Got it on my second try. (Didn't read the description, and it took me a while to realize that trackers are more dangerous than enforcers for Bori.)

Keep up the good work, and I look forward to the rest of the series!

This is fantastic! You did a really great job of using Bori; having to play around sight lines instead of cover, and being able to take more damage was a neat challenge.
I had a really good time with these four missions and am super excited to see more.

This is a really fun set of challenges that leverage how different Bori is from the standard characters. The mixture of large damage capacity and single attack really changes the balance of offence and defence. The area control through mildfire becomes interesting not least because you're not stopping or slowing those who come through it, just ensuring they'll maybe take damage later. The mana economy is a really nice change too. An exciting set of missions, and I look forward to more!
