Drop Table

Elevator Ambush Attacks

• Energy Orbs. A cylinder comes from Bysurge's back, and white energy orbs begin to appear in-front of him and move towards Sorun. Four orbs will appear before he drops into his Energy Slash phase.
• Energy Slash. Bysurge drops onto the elevator and stands up on his hind legs, before slashing towards Sorun three times.

Attacks

• Polarity. Bysurge switches Polarity throughout the fight every 40 seconds. Red is Negative, blue is Positive. You deal and receive 100% more damage to and from the opposite Polarity. Your Polarity can be switched with Crash Down.
• Energy Slash. Bysurge slashes towards Sorun twice, then places his hands together and creates a large energy explosion.
• Energy Slam. Bysurge places his hands together and creates a large energy explosion.
• Slam. Bysurge rears up, then slams down towards Sorun.
• Bite. Bysurge lunges towards Sorun, biting at him.
• Energy Drain. Bysurge creates a red line of energy that connects to Sorun and pulses, healing the drones in the background. When they are fully healed, they will begin to attack Sorun. This attack deals no damage to Sorun.
• Polarity Dash. Bysurge splits into two versions of himself, before both dash towards Sorun.
• Energy Waves. A cylinder comes from Bysurge's back, before he creates waves of lightning that travel along the floor.
• Lightning Storm. Bysurge drops onto all fours and tenses, before energy orbs begin rising up into the arena. They create a plus shaped pattern of lightning bolts that erupt from them.

Heroic Attacks

• Heroic Energy Drain. Bysurge creates a red line of energy that connects to Sorun and pulses, healing the drones in the background. When they are fully healed, they will begin to attack Sorun. This attack damages Sorun, but can be blocked.
• Heroic Energy Slash. Bysurge slashes towards Sorun twice, then places his hands together and creates a massive energy explosion.
• Heroic Energy Slam.  Bysurge places his hands together and creates a massive energy explosion.
• Heroic Lightning Storm. Bysurge drops onto all fours and tenses, before red energy orbs begin rising up into the arena. They explode into a ring of bullets. 
• Polarity Pillars. Bysurge creates moving pillars of positive and negative polarity rings. Sorun can be damaged by pillars of the opposite Polarity to Sorun.
• Heroic Energy Waves. An object comes from Bysurge's back, before he creates waves of lightning that cover the entire floor. A platform can be charged using the Heroic Energy Drain attack to stand on during this.

Strategy

• Blocking through Bysurge's Energy Slam or the end of Bysurge's Energy Slash is extremely effective, as the explosion is difficult to roll through and large enough that avoiding it entirely is sometimes not an option.
• Using Crash Down to alternate your polarity to the reverse of Bysurge's will practically halve his HP. This is especially useful in Heroic, considering his absurd health pool.
