The Mind Suckler is the adult version of the Suckler ANMC and can be a pain to deal with when attacking Aya in small groups. They are typically found resting on buildings and will react to Aya's attacks on contemporaries to attack her. A Mind Suckler's attack is dangerous if Aya does not have enough room to move around.
Strategy[]
While in the air, Mind Sucklers are nimble and dangerous, but once they are grounded, they are utterly defenseless and will try to escape Aya (at a snail's pace). The are several ways to knock Mind Sucklers to the ground:
- Reducing it's HP 30 or less will ground one. A single burst of the M93R at close-range should be enough to achieve that.
- Buckshot is effective in bringing down a group of them with a single shot.
- Combat Light, Flare, Pepper Spray and Plasma also work without having to commit to damaging them one at a time.
Once grounded, Mind Sucklers are completely defenseless and can be killed with little effort.
Notes[]
- The stage where a Mind Suckler is grounded is their version of PARALYSIS. Unlike most NMCs where they are unable to do anything and have a counter before they get back up, they can still slowly move around and is permanent. A separate counter is started in it's place and after it reaches 1800 frames (60 seconds), the sucklers dies, regardless of it's current HP. This makes spells like Necrosis and high-damaging spells like Combustion rather excessive since once they are disabled, they are dead, either way.
- After a while of chasing Aya, the suckler may return to a wall (if one is nearby) to rest for a bit, something similar to how their less mature cousins, the Bone Sucklers and Blood Sucklers would stop to nap after chasing Aya around for a bit.
- In a few rooms (Notably the Water tank, Motel balcony and Gorge), disabling a Mind Suckler over an area where there is no path, but a bottomless pit, will cause it to fall to it's death.
