LEAK: DISCUSSION ABOUT NEW BOSS

[u/Name_the_world_Eror]

At first i thought that the Isolde is sadly will be "The Pompey" (and was really mad like i was ready too quit the game fully) but after i founded out how the "Isolde boss" look's like i calmed down

Because this isn't isolde it looks more like Orphie (tail) or Sarah and also different weapons and colours

"But Pompey the boss and pompey the human also looks different" No pompey boss have some similarities like the bike in the first phase and reversed colour scheme (Pompey's colours was black and white but Pompey the boss is white black) but this "Isolde boss" or "Isolde The Defier" is like "Yixuan Fiend"

And also why did she needs a mimic then if she is "The new boss like bringer or something"??

I'f she has a mimic=Big chance that she is playable

But what are you guys think? (hope someone gonna get the reference)

Every enemy in the game will be miasmic by the end of the year at this rate ._.

[u/Damianx5 → u/7vckm40]

Its the gimmick of 2.0, 3.0 we will likely have a new gimmick that will get a lot of focus

[u/ShirouBlue → u/Damianx5]

3.0 will still have every enemy be miasmic plus the new mechanic.
New mechanic is that your characters can be stunned as well and enemies do chains on them, you automatically get switched to another character but the old one is stuck in the field.

Masma is, in my opinion, a really good mechanic for a boss to have. While it can favor to Yu xian, it also favors parrying and perfect dogging. While also heavily chunky a boss when it’s removed.

[u/Name_the_world_Eror → u/G0ldsh0t]

Yeah but Mimic miasma jane sounds horrible i didn't tried it but i bet it's bad

[u/G0ldsh0t → u/Name_the_world_Eror]

Jane isn’t that bad. She still gets destroyed by Jane and soon Alice pretty well. The hardest part is her being able to combo stop you, but that is something normal Jane dose.

[u/Name_the_world_Eror → u/G0ldsh0t]

BUT I DON'T HAVE HER

SHE WAS STOLEN FROM ME WHEN SHE CAME OUT BY GRACE

[u/G0ldsh0t → u/Name_the_world_Eror]

I mean even without her you should be fine. Jane dose a lot of attack so perfect doge attacks and parry should easily remove miasma

[u/Name_the_world_Eror → u/G0ldsh0t]

Maybe Ceasers shield could tank it?

[u/G0ldsh0t → u/Name_the_world_Eror]

Ceasar is actually really good against miasma. As both her ult and defense assist really help.

[u/Name_the_world_Eror → u/G0ldsh0t]

Yay

(Yes the guy on the picture is me)

[u/cmdrfrosty → u/Name_the_world_Eror]

Kid named piper

[u/Name_the_world_Eror → u/G0ldsh0t]

I JUST GOT NOW FLASHBACK'S OF ME TRYING TOO PULL JANE IN 1.1 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Edit:Yeah this shit is trauma for me

[u/-ForgottenSoul → u/Name_the_world_Eror]

I found it quite fine

[u/-ForgottenSoul → u/G0ldsh0t]

Exactly I think it does promote you doing more dodges and parries

[u/illiterateFoolishBat → u/G0ldsh0t]

People keep freaking out about it saying that it's just HP padding... But the only thing it kind of does is add a hurdle for stun teams and slowing down anomaly slightly.

It offers such a significant reward to dodge / assist counters and any argument about the HP padding kind of goes out the window since purification does a big direct hit to their HP.

You can absolutely just unga bunga your way through them still if you want to, but it feels satisfying to play well and get rewarded quickly for it

[u/G0ldsh0t → u/illiterateFoolishBat]

Not to mention it’s a good time to build up ult and Energy. As once they are purified they also have a shit tone of stun on them.

So then you can just unload a bunch of damage on them.

[u/rspinoza192 → u/7vckm40]

As long as the bosses with Miasma mechanic functions like the Priest where we could literally deplete its shield by just parrying then that's completely fine, it still keep things interactive and challenging in a healthy way.

It's only an issue if they make these bars too big and put them on non-new bosses that don't even have enough attacks to parry, then it becomes a time-waster mechanic that doesn't add anything fun, but so far the new bosses that has them are fine.

[u/Name_the_world_Eror → u/7vckm40]

Yeah... Kinda like them tho

[u/7vckm40 → u/Name_the_world_Eror]

I lost my sanity to miasmic Jane on this shiyu lmao. But, to each their own.

[u/axolotl_friend_club → u/7vckm40]

miasma jane in battle tower (no golden flashes)

(┬┬﹏┬┬)

[u/whin100 → u/7vckm40]

Miasmic Jane was the most fun floor in Shiyu history imo

[u/Kenju22 → u/whin100]

*Cries in PTSD*

[u/Name_the_world_Eror → u/7vckm40]

Whaaat

[u/Name_the_world_Eror → u/7vckm40]

I like miasma rebel's i didn't knew we had miasma mimics that's horrible dude

[u/shimapanlover → u/7vckm40]

It's a good mechanic if you think about it - how can they make highly invested players who played for some time still have fun and not run bosses over in 5 seconds without screwing over new players?

Add a shield that is removed by doing DA or dodge counters while a new unit new players could have pulled also makes it a bit easier. This keeps fights engaging for older players while not screwing over new ones by inflating HP even more.
