Alpha Shredder

''Please note that this item has been removed from Crosscode and is currently unavailable. It may, however, return later.''

The Alpha Shredder is a Monster in CrossCode. They can be encountered in the Enemy Rush challenge in the Autumn's Rise Observatory.

Appearance
The Alpha Shredder is a metal robot resembling a humanoid upper torso and head. It floats on rings of orange energy. It is made of dark grey metal with red highlights. It is physically identical to its stronger counterparts, the Shredder and the Prologue Shredder; while the Shredder uses different attacks, the Prologue Shredder is identical in all ways except for stats.

Combat
During combat, the Alpha Shredder will follow the player closely and attempt to attack them. Their attack has three parts. First they dash forward towards the player, stopping just short of them if they are close enough. They then charge their attack, briefly flashing red. They finish with a powerful melee slash.

Strategies
The Alpha Shredder encountered in the Enemy Rush is fought alone, and is therefore not particularly difficult. Dodging its attacks is recommended due to the high damage.

Development Notes
The Alpha Shredder was first introduced with the release of the Demo. It has appeared in all subsequent game releases except the Shortened Demo.
