## Crab minions

Crab minions move on the y axis instead of the gigasnapper's x axis, occasionally firing slow moving bubbles when y-aligned with a target. This spices up the fight quite a bit, with both x and y axis crabs trying to line up with you. Luckily, they're a lot weaker and can be killed for ~~crowd~~ crab control

All minions despawn when the arena is lifted.

## Empowered tiles

Empowered tiles are placed by certain abilities during the fight. The tiles have a few effects:
1. affect the player when stepped on
2. the small crab minions fire slow somewhat low damage bubbles, these bubbles are "empowered" when passing over an empowered tile.

- [ ] Plasma Fissure

	- [ ] Bubble: Anomalous Bubble teleports to the other side of the arena and continues to travel the first time it hits something other than the player
- [ ] Necropolis Fissure
	- [ ] Stepped on: The gigasnapper's corrupt ability is enabled for one attack (this ability charge is lost if the arena goes down)
	- [ ] Bubble: Corrupted bubble, turns another minion crab into a stronger variant that has more health and fires twice as often
