Delta is a recurring NPC who can appear throughout the game in any stage, serving as a rival to Nina and Ace.

There are two possible types of Delta encounters in the game, depending on where he appears in the stage:

If Delta appears at the beginning of the stage, he will issue a challenge to the player that lasts for the whole stage. If the player clears the stage under said condition, they will receive a reward. Take a stupid risk, it'll be fun!
If Delta appears in the middle of the stage, he will challenge the player to a duel under a certain condition. If the player defeats Delta under this condition, they will win their reward.

Boss Fight

When fighting the player, Delta will pick from one of three Ace Primaries, one of three Nina Primaries, and one of three Power/Technique loadouts.

He starts the fight using his Ace Primary, then the Power/Technique weapon, and then the Nina Primary, and will repeatedly do so in a loop until he is defeated.

Attacks

Tonbokiri - Delta dashes at the player. Upon reaching the player, he does a single spear stab for 10 damage. He does this twice before using Tonbokiri's Unleash.
Lara - Delta dashes at the player. Upon reaching the player, he swings Lara once for 10? damage, leaving a flame shockwave on the ground after the attack. After doing so, he launches two hammers in an arc similar to Lara's Unleash.
Zen Mortar & Aiming Gear - Delta fires a mortar upwards, splitting it before it hits the ceiling. He then fires three small gears upwards at three diagonal angles, and then fires another mortar.
Zen Ascent & Ryuusei - Delta rises upwards with Zen Ascent, and then immediately crashes down with Ryuusei. He does this twice.
Autodrone & Crushing Void - Delta fires an Autodrone in the air where he is, and then runs to one of the sides of the arena. He then fires three voids at the player, jumping so the second one is in the air.
