Dude, it’s just a little thing, it’s probably because the hitbox is squared.

We don’t know
I have a annoying miniboss suggestion:
Literally metal chickens. (Not metal suit)
Oh, come on. They won’t retaliate like Cowards and Slobs.
These metal chickens are ridiculously defensive. Even the most destructive weapons would only leave as much a scratch, like the weakest weapons would. However, they act no different from a normal chicken. They blow up like the player would on death.
Health: 4 - 9 (from 0% to 100%)
Attacks: Literally only drops an egg, like normal chickens.
(Unless you want to make them shoot 3 neutrons straight at the player instead, like the Apple Core would.)
Score: 10,000
Special: Only takes 1 damage from each form of damage. This includes Plasma Rifle, Absolver Beam, AND special weapons. And no, ramming them with 3 mass condensers won’t help either. Neither will Satellites and Mountables.
Weakness: They conduct Electricity, so Lightning Fryer AND Shockwave Capacitor does 4 damage to them.
Drops: Drops 3 random coins on death.
If possible, I’d like to suggest making a wave dedicated to them, named “Less is More”. It will spawn only 7 of them, like the “Target Practice” from CI4.
Writer Notes: This would at least encourage the players to not always rely on the most overpowered weapons. Basically, Less is More for these Metal Chickens. But they are weak to Electricity, so there’s that.

I think that adding a damage sponge (as an enemy) isn’t the right idea.
This thing will probably be even more annoying than cowards.

Yeah, I’m acutely aware that Damage Sponges are usually just a waste of time, but a lot of weapons are so overpowered that they just kill things in a mere 2-4 hits. Metal is kinda to counter that occasionally, especially if you’re the kinda to use the most powerful weapons to steamroll every single wave. If you get annoyed by it, I wouldn’t really blame you.
I originally wanted to give the guy up to 50 hits and yet be a normal enemy. I realized that would be absolute cancer to deal with a Plasma and Absolver, so I reduced it to 28 hp, and a miniboss type. Also because it’s divisible by Lightning Fryer’s 4 damage.
If it helps, I reduced it to 4-9 hp (9 in 100%. Not 140%.) so it doesn’t take TOO long.
But do take note: If you use a weapon that’s super fast, and has multiple projectiles, they become a joke to deal with. But for single target weapons (Plasma, Positron, Absolver), it just becomes a pain. A way to punish you for just frequently using the most powerful crap.
Bump: We need a shift in meta weapons
That’s just a temporary solution to the problem. Remember back when Utensil was OP, well people demanded things to change and things did change but soon, Utensil’s crown as the most overused weapon got taken by Plasma with Positron following closely behind. This would be like playing hot-potato with weapons in terms of which weapon becomes the most OP. It will only increase development work even further.
Useful, but not for absolutely everything.
That’s what I aim for with Metal.
Ion, Neutron, Vulcan, a couple of others would kill metals pretty fast.
But Laser, Plasma, Positron and Absolver will need a little more time. But to be fair, 3 of these weapons make other waves quite trivial. Well, most of the time.
In my opinion it’s okay, we need as many new enemies/bosses/waves as possible

Makes sense but do we need another absolver counter?
I second this (next version looks promising) but new enemies must be uniqe somehow and not become a chore to deal with

I mean, you could just spam a no charge absolver. It’s a counter, yes, but it still can deal with them well enough
Think about Gatling Chicks. Wouldn’t you say it’s an Ion Blaster/Utensil Poker counter?

Well… no

Kinda wished both of them did it at the same time. Speaking of which, was this change wrongly implemented, or intended? (Hope it was intended)

Does it do that above 100% difficulty? Or at all difficulties?
