Rhombus Turret 1.0

The Rhombus Turret 1.0 is a mechanical enemy in CrossWorlds. It can be encountered in the Rhombus Dungeon.

Appearance
The Rhombus Turret 1.0 is a small, fixed-position rotating turret. Its main body is a purple cylinder, topped with a red and white icon resembling a skull. A short gun barrel protrudes from its body. It stands on two small purple legs.

It looks identical to the Illegal Rhombus Turret.

Combat
The Rhombus Turret 1.0 Can use two attacks: one consists of a single bouncing shot fired directly at Lea, while the other consists in the turret charging while flashing red, followed by a triple-shot. Charged Balls interrupt the aforementioned charge and leave it briefly weakened.

Strategies
Although Melee attacks will quickly destroy a Rhombus Turret, most are found in locations where it is difficult to reach them to initiate melee. It is undeniably beneficial to disrupt the turret's strong attacks, but if any are missed, the wide-angle shots can make Dashing less than effective, so Shielding or stepping to the side are preferred approaches.

Development Notes
The Rhombus Turret 1.0 is closely related to the Puzzle Turret found in the TechDemo, although that turret served as a puzzle element, therefore it was invulnerable and its attacks only caused knockback, with no damage. The Rhombus Turret was absent from the original version of the Demo, but was added in v0.1.3 as part of the Rhombus Dungeon expansion. It has appeared in all subsequent versions of the game except the Shortened Demo.
