Bloxer

Let's see how you stack up...! HIYA!!

Bloxer, Chapter 1

Bloxer (JP: ブロックサー) is a Darkner enemy in Chapter 1 of Deltarune. It is first encountered in the Forest of Card Kingdom.

Profile

Appearance

Bloxer resembles a boxer, but with a blocky aesthetic. It is split into three segments that the party can rearrange, colored in red and blue, with pure white eyes. It is themed around the plastic construction bricks in the Forest of Card Kingdom.

Personality

Energetic and somewhat violent, Bloxer's dialogue revolves first around fighting the party, but changes to being more content once it is rearranged.

One Bloxer seen next to the Great Door in Chapter 2 is shown to have stacked three pairs of pants below its head and later adds a fourth one. It tells the party that it likes being like this and requests for them not to tell anyone about it. However, in Chapter 4, this Bloxer goes too far with its training, showing that its legs can separate from its body and become sentient.

Etymology

"Bloxer" is a portmanteau of "block" and "boxer".

Main story

Chapter 1

Multiple Bloxers can be fought throughout Card Kingdom's Forest area. They are automatically recruited at the end of the Chapter.

Chapter 2

A correctly-assembled Bloxer is in the Party Dojo, thankful for a place to train for "people that are normal-shaped". Another one is found near the Great Door, with a body composed of three pairs of pants. It enjoys being this way and asks the party not to tell anybody. After returning from the Cyber World, this Bloxer has four pairs of pants, and states that it has been training. It does not know what it has been training in, however.

Chapter 4

The Bloxer in the Dojo has extended its arms into the shape of a heart with multiple pairs of fists across it to adapt to the new romantic style of the venue. It admits it might take them years to master its new formation. The Bloxer near the Great Door has been usurped from its own body by the multiple pairs of pants, now five pairs of pants tall, who it claims have gained "some form of ultra-instinct". It notes it would not be as much of a problem for them if the pants were also introverted.

Creation and development

In the UNDERTALE 6th Anniversary stream, Toby Fox states that the idea of enemy red-leaved trees that cycled between forms was replaced by Bloxer, who he describes as someone who "looks like Spider-Man".

In battle

Appears with

• Another Bloxer

Attacks

These attacks reference Lego and Tetris:

• Groups of four blocks appear from the right and drift across the screen.
• Blocks fall from the top of the screen and stack up, narrowing the amount of space the SOUL has to dodge. The falling blocks form four distinct columns. If four blocks form a complete row at the bottom of the Bullet Box, the row disappears.

Available ACTs

Bloxer's body cycles in front of an arrow, and MENU button can be used to select the highlighted part.

Susie insults Bloxer, making all Bloxers Tired.

Strategy

The strategy for sparing Bloxer is generally similar to that of Moldessa from Undertale:

• Rearranging its body parts in the correct order (Head, Body, Legs) makes it spareable.
• If Susie is in the party, the Rival ACT can be used along with with Ralsei's Pacify.
• If spared 10 times, the Bloxer becomes spareable.
• If the Bloxer is reduced to 43 HP or lower, it becomes Tired.
