Alexander (Savage) predictions

[SuperZay]

Accuracy requirements significally upped for all turns.
A1: Both bosses show up at start, have more HP and hit harder, there are more adds, and more rockets drop at the same time in different locations. Possibly some new mechanics.
A2: Overwhelming 8th and 9th enemy waves added, 3 bombs drop at the same time.
A3: Two tether pairs, more often knockbacks, 2-3 twisters, slimes have much more HP.
A4: 4-5 orb chains, healer debuff lasts longer and ticks harder, possibly 4 legs instead of 2, two mobs inside quarantine.

Whats your new mechanics predictions?

Sephiroth shows up and kills your healers.

Maybe A1's Faust will be harder/ more of a DPS check? It'l be interesting because if you can barely beat him then there's no way you can beat the boss.

There were some runs I was in where Faust wasn't killed fast enough and the tank(s) died. Eitherway, it'll be a nice, gated, dps check

[Reinfeld]

Don't forget that in A1 you'll have to tank swap every time they go untargetable.

[Atlaworks]

More people will die to Faust and ask me why I did that to them

[AlphaFox]

Lots of crying to "nerf it"

[Ashkendor]

Each boss will randomly spawn between 3 and 15 "nerf plz" threads on the Official Forums.

Additional threads will spawn as these cycle off the front page.

Possible savage mechanics:

• A1:
  1. Faust has more hp and requires that DpS split to pare down adds while still burning Faust.
  2. Oppressor and 0.5 apply a Bismark EX snake phase style debuff after landing, forcing random pairings on targets.
  3. 4 bombs launched at the same time. *Scary Possibility* Each set of missiles has 2 that will shrink as normal and 2 that will enlarge instead. Different colored lasers to mark which is which.
• A2:
  1. More waves. Several waves might control tanking locations with Snipers.
  2. More enemy Gobwalkers with some waves having 2 forcing tanks to each grab one or have the tank end up melted.
  3. More bombs forcing both Player Gobwalkers to be used at the same time. Learning how to Recharge will be very important.
• A3
  1. Bludgeoning vulnerability stacks are applied in all humanoid phases forcing more tank swaps.
  2. 3 people get magnetized and linked together during Tornado and final phase.
  3. Two orange tethers at the same time during Tornado phase
• A4:
  1. 4 Legs need to be dealt with. Any of the 4 may steam and require being stunned for Perpetual Ray.
  2. 2 Players getting targeted with 3 lasers or one Player gets targeted with 5 lasers.
  3. Discoid sends out 3 or 4 sets of 3 orbs.
  4. Orbs and dolls at the same time during one phase.

[MisterLucie]

Orbs and dolls at the same time during one phase.

-hiss-

why would you wish that upon us

why would you wish that upon us

I'm not. I'm was just thinking of possible ways they can make the fights nastier/trickier.
