Dreaded
Max had spent a lot of time training inside the mirror world with his perfected A.I. model which gave him the advantage of knowing his exact strengths and weaknesses as well as taught him valuable combo moves that could maximise his damage output.
It was for this reason only, that his movements while facing the python were sharp as he knew exactly which attack to use and when to lure the enemy deeper and deeper into a trap.
The python was a formidable creature. It had scaly skin covered in poisonous spikes which made close combat very dangerous but also mitigated damage from long range attacks because of heavy armour.
Because of this, it was one of the best defensive builds overall, however, except the poison spike attack, it's attack was sorely lacking.
Being a tier 5 creature it was agile, and it had the strength to wrap around a tree trunk and snap it in half to use it as melee damage in combat.
