Well, I figure I’ll also comment on, and suggest changes for bosses while I’m at it. The Health Buff question will be answered in Bold.
I think some bosses die way too quickly. Yolk star and Hend Game are okay, Egg Cannon is too easy, and needs a bit of a buff in health.
CI3 bosses are hard enough, but I feel that the UCOs and Blast from the Past need a health buff.
CI4 bosses are usually quite easy. (I’m looking at you, Superchick and Space Crabs)
Planetary Egg City needs a health buff. It dies too fast.
A Twice Infinity twin usually can’t even survive long enough to have a duo fighting you together.
Their patterns are usually quite simple too.
CI5 Bosses are usually quite meh.
Henterprise itself is quite the “uuuuuugh” for players who know how long it takes to beat it.
Special Forces is quite okay, but it would be good to give him his “broken pattern” when Chicken Exponentiality was first added.
Special Needs needs a more interesting pattern, but otherwise he’s fine.
Henperor’s Apprentice is fine, and Space Crab 2.0 needs a hard pattern.
Brothers Reunited? Now they definitely need some buffs. Enraging has been suggested, so that’s one buff out of the way. I think the brothers really do need the said changes that I mentioned here: Enraged phases for Twice Infinity, show them who’s the boss and Brothers Reunited - #4 by OneWingLunarian
Henlley’s comet and Magnetic Manipulator is fine, Feather Brain needs more health, Bossa Nova is straight up annoying, Egg Cannonade needs a pattern that actually changes, and Chicken Exponentiality should use the said changes for the Brothers.
To answer the Health Buff question, I think scaling their health to be an even match to the reworked weapons would be good. Perhaps give them all a 30-50% health buff if you want the lazy way out. (Egg cannon needs the buff too, because it dies rather fast in comparison to Yolk and Henterprise. Plus, it’s supposed to be GINORMOUS. It needs the tanky health to imply it’s massive size in comparison to the other 2 final bosses.)
Yolk Star, Henterprise and Bossa Nova DO NOT need a health buff. Exponentiality and Multiplicity should get a 25% health buff.
You guys might think the health buff might be overkill, but remember that the boss healths were all Adjusted to the “legacy” version of weapons. Not the reworked ones + overdrive. Your weapons can now kill them nearly 3 times faster with how much damage they do now. Therefore, I strongly believe the health buff IS mandatory. At least the player will get to see more of their patterns and not kill them in a mere 15 seconds and leave.
(You might also think the said changes for the brothers and twins are going to make them too hard or impossible, but keep in mind that they have a zoom to allow for better dodging. In such situations, a harder attack pattern is needed to put the zoom’s maneuverability to maximum use. In this case, use their enrage ability in Multiplicity and Exponentiality if you want to make use of their zoom.)
What are your thoughts on this? Should iA make these changes? The poll will close in a week.
State your reason for your choice if you want, but please make it a reply to this post so you’re not confusing others.
- Yes please, do both.
- Yes, but just pattern changes.
