Talk:Undyne/@comment-108.13.231.207-20151108115239

I think that Undyne actually doesn't have innate determination. In a neutral playthrough she takes Alphys' "determination drug" at the end of the fight. It doesn't work very well.

On a genocide run, Alphys gains the confidence to believe in herself, out of sheer necessity. As such, she does a much better job of manufacturing a "super drug" for Undyne. (or maybe she just ups the dose to use all her remaining reserves)

In either case, it's essentially a suicide pill, designed to give her one last boost of strength, before she melts(like the other determination-injected monsters did before they turned into amalgamates).
