The Shredder is a Monster in CrossCode. They can be encountered when fleeing from the Blue Avatar on the M.S. Solar.

Appearance

The Shredder is a metal robot resembling a humanoid upper torso and head, with orange energy rings replacing its legs and allowing it to float. It is made of dark grey metal with purple highlights, and is physically identical to the Prologue Shredder; they are distinguished only by their behavior and stats.

Combat

The Shredder follows the player closely while waiting for an opening. When attacking, it quickly dashes towards the player, lifts its fist and, in an instant, delivers a devastating punch that creates a homing shockwave.

Strategies

Due to their extremely high level, the Shredders encountered are capable of destroying Lea with a single attack, while she can deal a maximum of 1 damage to them with any attack. Due to this, coupled with the difficulty of dodging their homing attack, defeating one is normally considered impossible, and they must instead be fled.

It is possible to defeat one of them on the M.S. Solar in Cargo Hold 1 by exploiting a glitch to trap the Shredder behind an orange barrier. This causes the Shredder to be unable to attack Lea, but not the other way around. Despite this, it still takes over half an hour to deal enough damage to the Shredder to destroy it, as Lea can only deal it one point of damage per attack.
