Game Design Legendary Island Discussion And Rating Bosses

if this is where everyone is putting feedback for LI then i think that the orange cybel stays in his suicide form to long it takes 2-3 minutes for him to explode (well from what ive seen)

 

@Tantibus just some feedback from me.

I asked some other people, and I myself think that the most difficult boss isn't Dr. Legendary, but rather the Orange Cybel.
I also heard Matrojon Idol is rather difficult. So the difficulty curve isn't linear, but rather zig zag in the current Legendary Island.
I was expecting the final boss to be really hard like the Qira battle before the Gameplay Update.

The only 2 bosses that can damage my tank warrior with war scream buff are Orange Cybel and Matrojan Idol.

 

IMO, matrojam, Death metal and cybel are the only ones that are at all a challenge

 

Not a tank build, but I can confirm that the Matrojan Idol is unnecessarily hard (it's still one of my favorite boss fights though). The damage is extremely high, and each form has a lot of health. If you play archer like I do, two consecutive screw ups mean instant death, and there's a lot of room for error, because the fight is really long. This isn't an issue of having disproportionate element weaknesses either, my defense spread is something like 175/500/900/125/700 (before %), on top of 11k health.

As for my opinion of the other bosses...

• All three bronze fights feel fair to me, the difficulty curves predictably. My only complaint is that the bosses' regen might be too high, I've heard a lot about people being unable to kill even the mummy board for the reason.
• Yahyabot is pretty much fine too other than the swamp section. You can escape into the trees and hold shift to advance with no effort. Maybe a mob could be given the suction spell to prevent this? Other than that, it's probably my favorite boss in the whole challenge. Wynn could use more bosses like this one... the timed endurance thing, not the memes...
• Death Metal has the same balance problem as its original in my opinion... It's weaknesses are way too high. I play a water build, so naturally the fight is super short... except the first two bronze bosses have water weaknesses too, but they take way longer for me to kill and feel more threatening. Something might need to be changed here.
• Mechorrupter needs a serious buff. Sure, he's fast and sort of deadly, but all of his damage is melee and his adds aren't threatening. All you need to win is arrow shield (or warscream, ice snake, etc, probably) and some patience.
• I don't think I can really comment on the last three, I cheesed them with skill potions.

 

What have you done. Poor Nick Cage is suffering because of you

 

Imo not even cybel is that hard, at least not with skill pots. Cybel and Wybel, and the cores do roughly the same dmg. Cybel has slightly more health, and the upgraded rowdy wybels have about twice as much health from what I've seen.

________________________________

Death Metal isn't hard with defense pots and an op lunar spine like @EnderTheWarrior's that he let me borrow
I already stated my opinion on cybel
Matrojan idol, I agree with. Again, I use def pots on this one. If I didn't have cascade and bonder for 00, this fight would take forever. The idols spells do a lot of damage too.

 

I don't use potions, and mabye I should elaborate... death is only hard cause I lag out.

 

To me, not being a tank, can find any little mistake (such as walking into a spell) enough to kill me instantly. However, my warrior friend can tank nearly any spell and says it deals no damage. The problem here is pretty simple, and I prefer the damage of the bosses to stay the same. Anything higher or lower can kill the mood of Legendary Island.

The high health regeneration of some bosses really forces you to spam your spells and end the battle quickly, and really sucks when that boss has defenses against your element. But that's what makes it challenging for each second you survive and is what makes it fun to fight.

Spoiler: Short opinions on each boss:

I. Mummyboard - Slightly boring boss with a flamethrower that starts my health off at a half, but makes a good starting boss for the challenge.

II. Virus Doctor - I feel like this boss should have more offensive abilities.

III. Corkus Accipientis - Pretty good boss actually, the last form of it is an easy kill.

IV. Matrojan Idol - Very time-consuming of a boss because of how much health it has total. The number of varying spells as it changes form is very interesting. Each spell can hurt a lot and can really keep you on your tippy-toes. Pretty good boss, but the health!

V. YahyaBot - There's no fighting to it and as well just kills time. Cool idea, but I feel like the idea would've been better used on something else.

VI. Death Metal - Fun boss while being challenging at the same time with the ToA bosses and all.

VII. Mechorrupter of Worlds - It would be cool to fight this boss with it dealing more melee damage. Other than that, it's a good boss.

VIII. Robob's Reinvention - It would be cool to fight this boss as it constantly keeps on charging without stop, then it will really feel like a "robot Bob".

IX. Orange Cybel - One-shot mayhem in a small arena that I can't kill, especially the 5th form.

X. Dr. Legendary - Pretty good overall, definitely harder than each of the other bosses... except I feel Cybel deals more damage and is more dangerous than this boss, probably due to the varying arena sizes.

Fighting them for a while can get boring because there are no surprises after you can predict each of their spells and movements. Each boss has its own challenge nonetheless!

 

I see.

 

I feel like Fully Formed Amadel also had some potential as one of the bosses, and what is the total amount of hp (all 10 forms combined) for matrojan idol?

 

I think the normal Orange Wybel also takes a couple minutes to explode in his rage forms as well.
