History YMMV / CosmicBreak

*** Ivis Reine looks like she took a stroll through the [[{{VideoGame/MonsterHunter}} Monster Hunter]] universe, now armed with beastly-looking shoulder pads and a {{BFS}}. Due to the weight of the weapon her offensive swordplay is now limited to a single cleave and a single lunge, however with Crimson- sorry, ''[[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute Sapphire]]'' Veil active she gets the second-biggest swing AOE in the game (Daedalian [=AM2=] only ''barely'' beats it out due to the [[EverythingsBetterWithSpinning 360-spin gimmick]]) and the standalone lunge attack takes a page from Crimrose's book and spawns a [[GravityScrew gravity well]] in front of her to pull enemies into the strike; not even [=AIRs=] are safe from this as the lunge can track them if she takes flight. The [[EyesDoNotBelongThere eye in her armor]] now fires railgun shots [[YouWillNotEvadeMe to slow down fleeing enemies]], and her Chain Guard temporarily [[ScratchDamage reduces all damage taken to ONE]]. Fortunately her melee has a cooldown after every attack due to, again, the weight of the weapon... [[MassOhCrap unless she gets Hyper Shot]]. Having Revenge: Hyper Shot tunes proc with Sapphire Veil active will allow Ivis to use her new abilities without the cooldown hindrance [[CurbStompBattle and will promptly shut up anyone who disbelieves her status as the Queen of Melee]].

*** Seraph Crimrose SIGMA, in addition to now looking like an admittedly {{Badass}} mecha-musume, now has access to a pair of [[LaserSword Beam Spears]] that provide a Homing Blaster and [[SwordBeam Sword Beams]]; she can also [[EverythingsBetterWithSpinning spin]] and [[ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks throw]] the spears to simulate a single-target Seraph Nova, but obviously not as powerful. Add on her trademark Seraph Wing, and she's arguably the best AIR-melee in the game with a significant amount of ranged punishment.

** Out of beta, while still generally regarded as the Queen of Melee, Ivis' TierInducedScrappy status has been significantly reduced... mainly because Aquila Girl [[UpToEleven is much, much worse]]. Simply locking onto an enemy with her [[BeamSpam Homing Blaster]] guaranteed around 40 damage with each shot, and she introduced the Full Boost ability which lets her recharge her Boost Gauge and maxes out of FLY stat. With Propeller Bits, she can stay in the air and rain green death for a very long time.

* TierInducedScrappy: ''Many''. Some are quite debateable, but a handful are so powerful that no one would argue their overpoweredness:

Add on her trademark Seraph Wing, and she's the best AIR-melees in the game with a side of ranged punishment.

*** Eris was a top contender for taking away Ivis' Queen of Melee title. She wielded [[DualWielding two large swords]] with deadly efficiency and, depending on [[SkillTree the cartridge path used]], could either user her wings to negate all damage or turn almost completely invisible. However, she was manageable due to all the regular anti-melee techniques still working on her.

** And these previous examples say nothing of when the first ZERO-type robots, Resha and Eris, were released. Eris was manageable - though still ludicrously powerful to the point that she took Ivis' Queen of Melee title for a time - due to all the regular anti-melee techniques still working on her, but Resha was so overpowered that pretty much the entire Cosmic Break playerbase ''demanded'' that she be nerfed. The Japanese server even protested with in-game signs! Eventually the players got their wish, and Resha and a handful of other recently-introduced and complained about robots were toned down. Note that this was before Seraph Crimrose FC and took a ''lot'' longer to actually happen.

* TierInducedScrappy: Some are quite debateable, but a handful were so powerful that no one would argue their overpoweredness:
** In the betas, Ivis was this. Her quick-striking, well-tracking, hard-hitting rapier [[ICallItVera "Sacri]][[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast fice"]] was bar-none the best melee attack in the game, and she was also the progenitor of the Crimson Veil ability which made it [[TheJuggernaut nigh-impossible to stun her]].

** Rounding out the RockPaperScissors TierInducedScrappy trio as an ART is Lily Rain EVE due to her shield ability, insane damage output, and good mobility (high FLY stat, as well as the Float Dash cartridge). She's not as bad as the other two though, as being earthbound without a melee alternative (usually) she has to make every shot count, which is a difficult task while having to avoid the swarms of [=LNDs=] usually scurrying about, ''especially'' Ivis. Because of this notable amount of effort required to accomplish this nowadays, people who can play Lily Rain EVE well are usually applauded rather than scorned.

** Then came the FC (Full-Color) version of Seraph Crimrose... she has the same abilities as the original (Anti-Homing, the "Seraph Wing" similar to Full Boost but it increases her flight time by ''a lot''), but with one more: Seraph Nova, an subweapon that targets up to '''six''' enemies at once and launches an energy blast that [[GravityScrew sucks them in]] and damages them pretty badly. It was so deadly that [=CyberStep=] had to decrease the sucking and force of the attack within a week of her introduction.

* ThatOneAttack - Every boss has one. [[EverythingsWorseWithBees Berzelius]] can [[RammingAlwaysWorks slam into you]], often [[OneHitKill killing you instantly]] unless you have something like 600 HP, where you will usually get half of that taken off instead. Then there's Fractulus, which fires [[WaveMotionGun a giant green laser]] that [[DontTouchitYouIdiot kills everyone who touches it]]. After that, there's Demonfox Haku, whose every attack either breaks some of your parts, inflicts a debuff, or [[OneHitKill kills you instantly]]. Even THEN you have not considered his FantasticNuke. THEN you realize that [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill he has two different nukes]]. Lastly, there's ActionBomb C.S-chan who blows herself up and instantly kills everyone in range at low health.
-> Now the player can do one themselves with the recent update that gave a brand new bot with an attack that locks onto six targets, and launches blue nova blasts with a gravy well function that is both immensly powerful, and can be deadly, especally to enemy robots that are huddled up together (I.e. a Support bot with an active healing bit at the power spot with a bunch of players getting repairs from the Support). A recent nerf removed the gravity well part of the attack, but it still hurts like all hell. The kicker behind all of this? This bot doesn't even need real life cash to aquire!

** In beta, for the renowned ActionBomb C.S-Chan's fight, she usually summons powerful robots to fight for her. On zero-star difficulty, she summons two [[NaughtyTentacles Squidols, which have tentacles for their arm and leg slots]]. [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean Then they put their parts to good use]], which prompts the ActionBomb Loli Boss to activate her SelfDestructMechanism on the NaughtyTentacles.
