The Crusher is the first boss that appears in the game. The official name was revealled in the Arena update of EPOCH 2.
Description[]
The Crusher is almost twice the size of EPOCH. It has a small cylindrical head with one glowing yellow eye. Its most recognized feature are the arms, which resemble switch blades that flip out and do a lot of damage.
Strategy[]
The crusher alternates between 2 attacks: Launching energy balls similar to ones fired by the Blaster, and jumping to a random location on it's side of the map several times before jumping at EPOCH onto EPOCH's side of the map, before hitting the ground.
If it lands on EPOCH, it will attempt to do a melee strike on EPOCH, which can be avoided by tapping the screen repeatedly. Otherwise it will stay there for a short while, before jumping back. Note that if you move to the Crusher while it is still on your side of the map, it will repeatedly hit you until you move away.
