Boss Mechanics 101: Scaling the Threat
The Titan Approaches
In Echoes, time is your greatest enemy. Every 2 minutes, a Boss entity spawns to test your build's viability.
Scaling Difficulty
We don't just increase health. Bosses in the late game possess:
- Bullet Novas: 360-degree projectile bursts that force movement.
- Aggressive Dashing: High-speed maneuvers that can cut off escape routes.
- Quadratic Stat Growth: HP scales faster than player damage, making late-game encounters a genuine struggle for survival.
Phase State Machine
Bosses cycle through three primary states:
- Chasing: standard movement toward the player.
- Charging: preparing for a high-damage dash.
- Bursting: unleashing a hail of projectiles.
Survive the boss, and the rewards (massive XP drops) will push you toward the next level of evolution.
