Saucie

Saucie is a Moon chapter robot enemy that is deceptively active, getting three turns per round in its regular form and four as a Champion. Despite moderate stats, its high action count means it can output significant damage and utility each round. As a robot-type enemy, it is vulnerable to the Energized status effect from electric attacks, which can disable or disrupt its actions.

Each turn, Saucie can fire four infinite-range piercing projectiles in an X-pattern that hit through terrain and apply moon-gravity knockback, sending struck units floating. It can also use Detect to apply the Marked status to nearby enemies, making them easier targets for other enemies. Additionally, Saucie can grant itself Holy Shield, providing temporary damage immunity. Upon defeat, it explodes for 5 damage when knocked airborne, punishing melee attackers who finish it off at close range.

Saucie is one of the enemies that can hatch from a Strange Egg alongside Y-Blaster, Waggle, Rover, Small Asteroid, and Moon Worm. Its combination of piercing X-pattern shots, the Marked debuff, and self-shielding makes it a high-priority target in mixed encounters. Electric attacks that inflict Energized are the most efficient counter, exploiting its robot classification. When finishing off a Saucie, keep units away from its death explosion radius, or use ranged attacks to avoid the blast entirely.
