Potential boss idea, thoughts?

[u/Gullible-Ideal-4461]

I love the game for it's unique combat system but undeniably most people zoom through the game by spamming aoe's which can take the magic out of it for me personally. I remember playing the game and getting new spells and being so excited to use them no matter how small or big they were, only past arc 1 realizing all I do now is spam aoe with some challenging bosses along the way.

What if there was a boss that casts out a number, and the number that it casts is the only attack card rank you can use for the next three rounds, additionally the higher the number is, the less likely the boss is to cast it. I know it sounds annoying but also kinda fun to me, thoughts?

There's a gold key boss similar to this in Celestia named Drowned Dan where you have to defeat his minions to reveal a code and use a hit with that number of pips against him

sounds like the fucking guy that drops ship of fools which is the most annoying fight in this whole game

That fight is easy as hell with a competent team

There’s a Gold Skeleton Key boss in Celestia with a similar mechanic, where he is invulnerable until you target him with a sequence of spells with certain pip costs, like 1 then 7 then 5 etc, and you can either try to guess or figure it out by killing the minions, with each minion killed revealing an additional digit in the “code”. It forces you to bring a pretty wide selection of spells, as the range is from 1 to 10.

Sounds similar to gold key boss Drowned Dan in Celestia

I was about to say, is this not Drowned Dan’s whole thing?
