[@Glxrp]

The fact that he doesn’t get staggered by the first parry gives him identity as a FIGHTER or skirmisher, he can recover from being countered and is ready with a counter to your counter idk I just love that kind of boss identity.

[@Glxrp]

VERY similar to the idea of the twins in PGR with their ability to matrix and time stop you just like you can to them. It’s just cool when it feels like a boss fights back in meaningful ways.

[@Glxrp]

Also want to say if anyone’s played ultrakill I absolutely loved fighting V2.

[@christophobia6415]

Scar also has a chain of attacks in his first phase that don't get interrupted by parrying

[@erdemdidakdikta4931]

​@@Glxrp there is a boss in pgr that can matrix you? I never seen that boss

[@Es3re]

TO WIN IS TO ADAPT..........this is what PGR and WUWA have made me appreciate my defeats when facing bosses/enemies the reason why i love how Kuro games made their bosses is that, every action have consequences, its not just a game of continuously tapping, but with rhythm and timing......and by the time i defeated the boss, oh man the feeling of victory is just so good after all those failure

[@JoonaTheNPC]

Hollow knight has hidden bosses. The fact that they are hidden and not everyone encounters them makes them feel more special. While playing you may not notice/know it but when you realise it while talking about it with friends it hits you and you appreciate it so much more. As a game dev i want to explore this idea in my future games and think it's interesting in its own way

[@DrBodyshot]

Hidden bosses are the BEST! I know everybody knows about her now but finding out about Malenia being in an entirely hidden area was really cool. It really shows how confident the devs are with their vision of the game that they're willing to let thousands upon thousands of players miss such a big thing

[@hijodelsoldeoriente]

20:02 EXA-FUCKING-XACTLY! They strip Crownless of his personality and to be honest, it added a lot of tension and intrigue to the world and the story. The current one is slow and meandering which is fine for lore-buffs like me but imagine the hook to some players who think cutscenes=good story with just this cutscene. They say the CN testers didn't like seeing their waifus kicked but I don't know if that's true. Great video btw. CCs who play non-gachas of different genres are always my favorite when reviewing or making gacha content. Cause they usually know what they're talking about. And are less-prone to gacha tribalism and bias.

[@DrBodyshot]

Genuinely. The current version of his cutscene makes him feel very inconsequential to what's going on. The old cutscene actually does a lot of explain why the characters think he's such a main character cause he just took on a monster that no-diffed 3 whole resonators by themselves. And thanks! I like bringing in my opinion about gacha games from someone who isn't part of the demographic that would usually play them! I'm glad that it gives an insight to the game that can stand on its own in such a saturated space!

[@Es3re]

we can hope he can return once again where he was cool as he was before.....................CBT1 story was so GOOD!!! man

[@eijey9803]

I mean what u expect from ppl that will kill actual ppl cuz they got c_cked by an npc... Well anyways even tho wuwa is doing much better in global, they still dont want to get on the badside of their own ppl. 😕

[@david_ace]

nah the story was really bad but the premise (as u can see the cutescene) was a good way. they just forced a little too much and almost all the characters was so horrible u wouldn't pull for them lol

[@david_ace]

@@Otherface no they were just really too much aggressive, and this is not about the chixia scene you should do some research and do not make a statment in one cutescene (as we all did first)....... i dont think you would like your character being called a idiot/dumbass because you don't know the tradition when entering jinzhou for the first time ? or still fighting for jinzhou despite being treated like a litteral piece of sht, and still getting treated like that after...only jiyan as always was the goat and acted like a normal person

[@extrastuffboxofaksakl1k354]

I think Thundering Mephis Hologram is also good boss. Especially if you are using Danjin. Thundering Mephis as a baseline is easy boss, even at diffuculty 6. But what makes it harder is his clone. "Yeah you were beating him already but what if there were two of them" and Kuro handled 2v1 situation perfect imo. in other games, 2v1 situations are just pain or not well implamented. Because it's either you have to kill them at the same time or you have big problem, or you focus on one of them and make situation 1v1 later. But in Thundering Mephis, it's always 2v1 and no junky mechanic. And Thundering Mephis's attacks are slow. So you won't start to swear that his clone came out of nowhere. it's your fault if you don't dodge that because he waited a lot to attack. Even in enemy's most vulnarable state, you have to watch out attack. You can't turn your brain off any moment. And why Danjin makes it better is Danjin has a lot and long animations. So if they attack at the same time, you don't have to dodge twice. And the fact that Danjin can wait a lot between her combos makes it more satisfying to delay your attack to dodge another attack. That means game literally rewards you a lot for not button mashing. And another but last thing about Thundering Mephis I like is how he can surprise you a lot. He and his clone can be anywhere in anytime. Even pro players recommend that even if he is down, put your back to the wall and watch out his clone. You are always in edge of your seat. You usually can't play with set rotation. You have to be creative. And the fact is he even can hide behind his clone. I lost the count of how many times I died because I didn't see him behind his clone. The best boss that I enjoy.

[@DrBodyshot]

Yeah! Thundering Mephis is a VERY close 2nd as my favorite tbh. I love how aggressive he is cause you HAVE to match that aggression the entire fight otherwise you just get overwhelmed by both his and his clone's attacks. It's always a nail biter the entire time compared to how controlled the fight against Crownless feels like

[@tencive5749]

Not the first time Kuro has handled 2v1 bosses Search up the Twins boss from PGR, absolute cinema of a fight where the enemy uses the matrix mechanic against you

[@crowkoraki6910]

I just fight this thing last night, holy shit it was frustrating at even level 4 hologram but I keep going for what ever reason 😆😆😆 he's fun to go against

[@crowkoraki6910]

​@@tencive5749wouldn't call that boss 2v1 cause they don't simultaneously move on their own, the Memphis tho imagine, this dude got 2 one hit moves then clone emerge now he gets 4 and sometimes it simultaneously do those move at the same time sometimes the same move or a different one 😂😂😂

[@WaveRider7777]

I agree. Heron is fine as a flying opponent too but Mourning Aix is just aaaaarrrg I hate it

[@DCminh-pe9wf]

I think Tempest Mephis could of been a great rival boss if they gave it similar level of characterisation to the Crownless Its fast, sure, but it isnt just running at you at full speed. Its blinking from left to right to feint, sometime its charging at you, sometime its appearing infront of you to strike. You can parry those sort of strike usually, so at time it will charge at you with an unparryable attack. Each difficulty add another layer of mix up to its attack pattern. By diff 4, it now has a clone, and the clone isnt just more attack, but attack pattern that are designed to throw you off your defense. Like the delayed explosion with a clone attacking you mid start up, or a physical attack while the clone charge up a beam behind it Mephis isnt just mindlessly destroying whats infront of it, it acknowledge youre defending yourself and its attacking in a way thats trying to throw you off. Similar to the crownless, its intelligent, it feel more like fighting a human rather than a monster

[@DrBodyshot]

Memphis Tennessee is definitely a VERY close second for me. Crownless just edges him out purely through how much he encapsulates the best parts of the game's mechanics to a very nice degree

[@snakemgr12]

I like that crownless hologram is not a "you get hit once you die" boss if you are matching his level(well his lighter attacks), and he is not so beefy that you will not lose on time if you have a decent echo roll

it would be kind of a stretch but crownless hologram got me the same feeling I had when fighting genichiro from sekiro both are massive skill checks for proper game mechanics Genichiro and Isshin swordsaint were just the perfect bosses in gaming history for me the buildup, the fight, the payoff after those fights are just chefs kiss even though there is no buildup and payoff for holograms but to give me the same fight feel in a gacha game is just great.

[@DrBodyshot]

Nah, I get you. It's completely unfeasible to ignore dodging and parrying against Crownless just because he refuses to give you an opening otherwise. It's a great way to REALLY enforce the game's rules and mechanics and make you engage with it. I love it when the game's coolest mechanics are the most optimal way to play

[@Kramer8]

Subbed, very good video bro. next potential great hologram would be Inferno Rider imo, he has 2 phase like crownless with different approach of breaking his vibration bar. One thing that I love and hate about Inferno Rider is he's very hard to learn with all of those delay attacks, till now he keep succesfully hit me tons of times even in my daily farming, panic dodge is the strong point of this boss.

[@NovaStrike118]

Lucilius Zero in Granblue Fantasy Relink is a perfect boss to me in the context of the game. He's portrayed as this thing that you don't really feel like you're supposed to beat. His mechanics are not like other bosses (or even the previous version of himself). He gives you no breathing room, and he feels like he doesn't exist to give you a challenge to overcome - he exists to kill your entire party. It's the "cornered animal" metaphor driven to the extreme. He doesn't play fair. He spams and constantly utilizes his best moves. I mean, he literally starts the fight with his signature ability Paradise Lost, which if you're not careful with, can just kill you immediately. As for presentation, he's probably the best presented boss in the entire game. His design, his theme - "Zero", (whose lyrics are essentially him singing about how divine he is and how much his plan will change the world), is presented as this heroic and triumphant song. It portrays him as the hero defeating your party - those who stand in the way of a better world. Check out both regular Lucilius (Lvl 200) and Lucilius Zero (Lvl 250). I'll emphasize i'm talking about Relink, not the original Granblue Fantasy.

Crownless:"Do you want a *box* ?"

[@arkabarma3286]

good stuff. earned a sub. Some more stuff about Crownless. U can actually parry his special skill out of air in his second phase. But this is only possible thru certain echoes(the green heron and that big spectro 3 cost i'm sure of), bringing an element of engagement with ur gear. I absoloutely love the 'dodge counter' buffs asking u to learn dodge counters this time instead of the parry like mephis where ur dps window is after parrying. Here, u only need to consistently need to dodge counter. While fighting this boss, i learnt even ur dodge counters have i-frames. And the i-frames for every other character's dodge counter is specific to them! Taking Encore to this fight absolutely sucks(bc her dodge counter is far lower), Yinlin however has it far easier even tho both are rectifier users. (Side note : Danjin's whole spin to win counter is has s. holy hell that is the longest i've seen and that includes her INTRO! Add this her chaos cleave . Shame this boss is havoc res .-.) These extra i-frames make delayed counters a practical skill to use. U have to choose whether to play fast and counter all attacks or delay to get the exact s or do u do both while inculculating ur echoes parries. The parry in his 2nd phase that he follows up with a recovery attack(chef's kiss). I got fked by that multiple times. I cant tell u how much i love it bc u CANNOT take it easy after ur parry. ur still in a fight and ur enemy ain't some dummy. YET he seems to me like an introduction boss to the game. "Now that u have learnt all the possible mechanics, we're gonna give u the real ones" And i just imagine a boss u gotta parry into a recovery dodge into countless more mashup of counters and dodges on the same combo. The part i rlly hate is that they don't play the full Crownless music. The late guitar drop is a freakin bop and u should definitely check it out.

[@DrBodyshot]

Yeah! He feels like he's the definitive version asking if you've mastered the basics of the game and that's why he's my favorite boss to fight. He doesn't do anything that's particularly bullshit and all he really asks you to do is to lock the fuck in and get to work. I didn't know about the echo thing though, that's pretty sick! I'm gonna see what Echoes let me do that kinda thing cause I love figuring these things out.

I like the final boss of Wuthering Wave's first arc, mostly because of one element of the buildup. You actually play through the strategy meeting to go up and face it.

We got enough drama content, I just wanna yap about why I like the game 😂 And yeah! Lightcrusher's such a fun fight. I remember randomly stumbling across it near the start of the 1.1 story quest and it's so cool to see an elite enemy being a proper mini-boss instead of just a stat-ehanced meatbag Lightcrusher pales in comparison to titsniffer though. Everytime I dodged an attack, it just made me want to see the assblast move again.

I love Wuwa's boss and I agree that crownless is amongst the top, tho I still prefer the dreamless story fight, wish she had her whole moveset when you refight her. But I must say it, I think PGR, Kura's other gacha have better bosses (it also have better character IMO), If you want to see something pretty similar to Crownless, check up some perfect Radiant Marcher showcase, realy satisfying. Personaly, one of the game with some of the best boss is Arknights, it's not an action game like Wuwa or PGR, it's a strategy game that take the form of a tower defense game, but the bosses in this game are so varied that we're 5years into the game and they still manage to make bosses feel fresh and unique, some obviousely are a miss, but we have some realy iconic ones that peoples still remember years later. One of the recent bosses that I find to realy fint the criteria of what a perfect boss is are the bosses in the most recent edition of our rogue-like mode (on the EN server), they are 2 bosses, with similar moveset, that fight each other and you happen to be in the middle, and need to defeat both, but once you defeat one, the other is buffed and you become the target of the attack that previousely targeted the other boss. and their design is maazing (especialy the red one), if interested you can find it a showcase searching this: [Arknights] IS#4 Ending 4 Experience

Huh! I don't think I've ever looked into Arknights! That might change soon!

[@kevinseraphin5456]

@@DrBodyshot It's deffinitly not a game for everyone for sure, but for us who like it, it's peak, I played a lots of gacha and it was the first one to not treat me like as if I was braindead and actualy forced me to strategize, tho as time goes there's enough good character to bruteforce most stages, but there's also a huge community of players that do self imposed challenge, wich for me is the perfect balance.

[@Johncrowjohens]

😂yo I’ve been trying to clear this boss at level 80 and I can say am losing my sanity😂😂😂😂 mf has that solo leveling combo 😂😂😂😂

[@equinox2909]

Basically CL 1st phase: Come and get some! CL 2nd phase: Now we're talkin!! CL 3rd phase: Fok u! fok u! Fok u!

[@Nole2701]

I like how Wuthering waves designed their bosses, compared to other gacha titles, namely genshin. The animations too for all the characters are also fantastic. However it is a double edged sword in some cases as it can be hard to see boss attacks through all the effects. I had this issue primarily against crownless because he is the smallest hologram and many of his attacks are not flashy, especially in phase 1. It could improve the quality of the gameplay if they made him more visible, or gave us an option to lower our vfx. Or maybe I'm just playing Jinshi and Changli who have VFX all over the place.

[@DrBodyshot]

It is definitely a good and a bad thing at times. He has a very intricately animated moveset but there are a good few attacks that are hardly telegraphed and can be frustrating to deal with, especially on dif 6

[@LloydOrtiz7]

I love the crownless hologram so much that hes the 1st diff 6 i managed to do hoping theres diff 7

[@DrBodyshot]

It'd be so peak if they made an update for diff 7 that gives all the bosses another new moveset

[@EGG-gj1dt]

Keep doing videos with this quality of a script and ur gonna make a decent following bro, just gotta up the quality of your vids in bitrate and thats all, you got my sub

[@DrBodyshot]

Thanks, man! Still figuring out how to make the quality (picture quality, mind) as best as possible on my junky old laptop but I'll figure it out 😂 In the meantime, I'm tryna pull some of my funds together to get a decent mic so I can at least maintain good audio for y'all

[@Anonymous-sd6hq]

I feel like people overhate the aix fight. A lot of the attacks that most think are non parriable actually are parriable like the sky attack or the double hand grab or the slam. I've beaten every boss on max difficulty and from all of them id rank them as follows in terms of fun and challenge going from most to least. tempest, aix, crownless, monkey and heron idk heron is just a boring fight. The fact that literally every attack from aix and crownless is able to oneshot you and you they have so many attacks is the thing that makes those fights thrilling for me. Crownless has a pretty big con of not being able to be parried or toughness reduced for the entirety of the first phase.

[@DrBodyshot]

While Aix isn't necessarily difficult, that doesn't take away from the fact that the fight is annoying to do. Even on your listing, you put it on the least fun so I think we agree there

[@Anonymous-sd6hq]

@@DrBodyshot no no i said in terms of fun and challenge. Meaning most fun and challenging is Memphis (a lot of parriable attacks , easily telegraphed and when he does the shadow clone jutsu just multiply that by 2), then aix (a huge number of attacks , all can oneshot and they happen very quickly) then crownless and so on. I said at the end the heron fight is boring idk maybe it's just me but him spending 20 minutes in the air kills the mood for me xD.

[@SHG3110]

I'm ngl, my favourite boss so far is Hologram Mephis. His boss fight is literally anime battle... It feels so cool when you dodge its strings attack and parry his moves... He's a perfect boss if you wanna learn parries ngl (only hologram mephis I think overworld Mephis kinda sucks)

[@david_ace]

ender lilies has some really good bosses too special mention to taro in kina bridge of spirit, i couldn't fight the other boss because of my mid pc the game is so laggy

[@DrBodyshot]

@@david_ace ooooooh! Thanks! I'll keep that in mind!

[@bruteaxe9817]

i also loved crownless when we 1st him cuz who the hell is he?? walks with aura like he is just better than us( too bad he get his ass destroyed cuz he is early boss) and i also loved dreamless. to me i felt sadness when i saw her in cutscene but she starts screaming and attcking, she looks like she is desperate to protect something(there is nothing in story but she gives that kinda vibe)

[@Mr.MoriartyXIII]

do a video about scar mechanics its cool he just need more damage and hp

[@DrBodyshot]

Yeah, I'd love to have him as a Hologram. He blows up so fast during the Illusive Realm/Farming him 😂

[@r1se_1]

nah the memphis with his own hologram one shotting you is harder than crownless

[@poiloi-wd6eo]

Ultrakill: Gabriel and Minos prime I think both are good and hard at the same time (Gabriel was on try 90+ and for Minos it was 168th try)

[@DrBodyshot]

I need to try Ultrakill

[@Sakuna451]

Hologram bosses are basically inner bosses in Sekiro. It's like the same bosses, but better. Speaking of which. Remember when Fromsoft took into account the player's abilities and tools when designing bosses, instead of just padding them out with infinite moves and 10 year long combos?

[@DrBodyshot]

For sure. I'd rather intricate mechanics over just spamming the roll button, lmao

[@Sakuna451]

Bro really talked about Crownloess OST without mentioning drop

[@DrBodyshot]

Aye I'm only human 😂

[@MagisterialVoyager]

IK I'll be called nasty for this, but, actually, Tit Sniffer is my actual favourite boss fight. Sorry not sorry.

[@DrBodyshot]

@@MagisterialVoyager His "Bum poke" attack was too much for me to handle, ngl

[@MagisterialVoyager]

@@DrBodyshot Oh totes, that hurts so much. I really hate it. 😭😂 Still, Tit Sniffer best boss, hands down. 🤷‍♀️

[@SpyralKing]

100% agree on the beta cutscene. Its insane to me that it got cut off. It was like the best part of the 1st chapter. Why would you gut it??

[@ambulance-kun5915]

Crownless reminds me of Kaiju no. 8

[@HotchCrim]

imagine if crownless can dodge your attacks

[@DrBodyshot]

I'd shit my pants

[@-z-9989]

Crownless is a fun to fight againts. Mourning aix however...

[@walteranurantha5014]

In other words: We need more crownless chads, not spongy birbs lol.

[@Little_Byu]

I would cry if the bosses in WUWA would be like PGR that has many thickest HP bar in the future HAHAHAHHAHA 😂

[@DrBodyshot]

@@Little_Byu A double health bar would be cool if it also came with more complex mechanics and it didn't come with a timer

[@radioactivetoaster]

I meant to ask-how do you get calcharo to do the enhanced heavy attack while on another char? Do you begin the heavy attack and switch?

[@DrBodyshot]

Yup! As a general rule, any attack with a long animation can be cancel swapped if you do it mid-attack. The guy you switched out of becomes invincible the second you switch and you get the full attack out! It's a big part of characters that have big and slow attacks like Cal, Yinlin, and Encore
