Verdies, Angry Pirate Captain

The former captain of the now disbanded Plasma Pirates, whose ship was filled with magma in a fight against Trigno, as well as his ship and crew were later swept up because of A.G Admiral Argestes massive tornado, launching them into a sky island. After the destruction, he leaves his crew at the crash site and flies to a nearby ring-shaped sky island, where he resides in the center, keeping himself afloat on what appears to be Sky Skates.

Verdies is a level 200 Plasma Magic user, as well as the first mutation user that most players fight.

Tips

Plasma Flare and Plasma Apocalypse projectiles can be collided mid-air with a projectile such as the cannonball from a Bazooka, the latter being not recommended to be dealt with this way because of the sheer amount of projectiles.
Verdies will always be situated in one area, giving the player an advantage to freely attack him while dodging or hiding behind objects when he attacks.

Sky Skates can be used to avoid Verdies' Plasma Pillar attack and evade the Plasma Explosion attack by flying off the arena and returning shortly.

Hiding behind the grassland while standing on the cloud shores will provide cover against Verdies' Plasma Flare and Plasma Apocalypse, as well as a moment to charge your sky skates.
Your shield [Z] can block Verdies' Plasma Flare, but be wary when using it against Verdies' other attacks as they are mostly AOE (Area Of Effect) and Plasma Apocalypse can easily wear it down.
If you are farming him, make sure to either use your ultimate at the right time (if it is a shower ult) or max out defense as Verdies may activate Plasma Apocalypse, and you are locked in place.
It is advisable to keep on sprinting when Verdies locks on to you, he will most likey miss if you do this.
The Flintlock is a good weapon against Verdies.
