Hello again! This week I'll be focusing on transferring and updating data about some of the monsters in VoltAge:Genesis, and I figured we'd start the week off right with a NASTY one: the Goni!

Alright, let’s run down the numbers here…The Goni has solid HP and Defense, but negligible Max AP and M. Attack scores. Their Luck is absolutely abysmal, which is great because that means they are far less likely to get critical hits…this is important, since they have a ridiculously high Attack stat for a standard enemy and the M.Defense to last a few rounds in battle. Their special qualities cause even more grief, since they are effectively immune to [Dark] damage (rendering your most powerful attack options when they first appear useless), and can actually be healed by any attacks which deal [Slash], [Pierce], or [Crush] element damage.

Thankfully (?), the Goni is a straightforward attacker whose only option in battle is Rip, a [Slash] and [Dark] element attack which deals decent damage and has a 35% chance to cause “Bleed”.

These guys are no joke alone, and with Anidade backup they can quickly tear apart an under-levelled party. Use any Molotovs, Nitrogen Canisters, or Unstable Batteries you may have, and if you’ve acquired a Heaven Charm, you can put it on Gregory to deal massive damage. If you don’t have one, he will probably need to be relegated to healing duty since his Umbra spells will be useless here. Players who spent extra time on the mainland will have a few more options, especially if you managed to get Allan into your party before heading to Mateyo. Otherwise, just avoid physical attacks at all costs and remember that Nolan’s Dread ability will work on these guys!
