Behavior

Cannot move. Randomly alternates between two attack patterns:

• Fires 4-way shotguns of armor-piercing bullets, rotating the orientation of the burst by 45 degrees each time.
• Fires 2-way shotguns along the diagonal directions, switching sides each time.

The Defender will flash red and become Armored between phase transitions.

At 50% HP, the Defender temporarily turns invulnerable, before continuing the above attack pattern with increased frequency. It will also go Invulnerable between attack transitions instead of Armored.

When defeated, the Defender transforms into the invincible Shadow Cube Overseer, firing faster, smaller 2-way shotguns randomly along the cardinal/diagonal directions. Its bullets no longer pierce armor, but deal slightly higher damage and will Curse players hit instead. The Overseer will persist until the Shadow Cube Blaster is defeated, upon which it’ll despawn.
