Greetings PaperDemons. It's time for something out of the ordinary, a BATTLE! This challenge begins December 2nd, 2020 and will run until the boss has been defeated.
The Enemy
Perpetual motion machine
HP: 0/3,000
Element: Sky
The boss has been defeated!
A handful of years ago, Avangard’s engineers built a perpetual motion machine that was intended to propel the fleet through the skies together. The machine worked a little too well, whipping up hurricane force winds that sent the fleet scrambling to fly out of its range. Since then, the fleet navigators have steered well clear of the machine, but they can’t avoid it forever.
The citizens of Avangard have asked for your help...
