New boss pattern in the works... Boss design is always fun, but never easy.

Pain Points:

• Designing balanced boss skills for both melee and ranged classes
• Preventing players from escaping boss mechanics (e.g., wall setup)
• Smoothing animation transitions for better impact
• Preventing unintended player positioning (e.g., standing on rock colliders)
• Avoiding dull gameplay from excessive kiting with ranged weapons

Problems to Solve:

• Creating intense and exciting boss fights
• Balancing boss skills for different playstyles
• Implementing effective arena mechanics (e.g., walls, rock eruptions)
• Enhancing visual feedback for attacks (e.g., particles, recoil animations)
• Preventing exploits in boss mechanics

Potential Solutions:

• Increasing wall duration to apply pressure
• Adding follow-up skills after wall confinement
• Implementing particle effects for stomping and attacks
• Smoothing animation transitions with recoil
• Adding ranged pressure mechanics (e.g., falling rocks)
• Increasing boss movement speed
• Designing tighter arenas
• Adding gap-closing skills (e.g., jump attacks)
• Implementing phase systems instead of enrage timers
