"General" Boss Fight Breakdown

Heyo everyone! Early post here, as I'll be unable to make the post tomorrow. This week was focusing around the General's boss fight. I managed to get this fight done in a timely manner as we weren't dealing with new models and rigs, so let's take a look.

This fight is simple enough at first, but starts to introduce a bit of a twist as it goes.

To start the boss has 4 attacks. In between attacks, the boss will blink around swiftly, and appear at a random location.

To start is the most basic of attacks. Firing the power laser, and giving you a taste of your own medicine.

Next is Flame Wave. (His is better than yours)..... This attack hits everything below, and panning to straight forward. Simply fly above him, and it will not hit you.

Next is a bit of a unique one. He will fire a blue beam, and swipe directly in front of him. You will need to either dodge above or below him. This attack leaves a small recovery, and is a good time to go on a brief offense.

Finally is his "Dash/Charge". This attack is a bit of an exception to the previous rule of "Appearing at a random location". When he queues up this attack, he will always appear directly in front of you. You may need to react fast as the charge up for this is pretty quick.

The boss seems a little chaotic, but it only gets more-so. As you reduce the General's health down he will produce "Clones". These clones do not take damage, nor do they actually attack/do damage. They do, however show the same attack animations (As you can see with the fire charge-ups).

You will need to be able to keep an eye on the general while being able to ignore the clones, and their fake attacks

He will spawn up to 3 clones. One at each 25% threshold.

With that, this week's work is completed. Next week I will either be moving onto a "features" week, or doing Nova's 2nd ending Hscene depending on state of assets.

Thanks again everyone! I'll catch you all next week!
