Let's design our own bosses

#1

What is this?

I just got a fun idea to try designing some fanmade bosses. Here’s a place where you can create your own bosses and share them with whoever’s interested. When doing so, make sure to include necessary details like the boss’ name, effect, and stats. You can obviously also specify other optional details, like the starting field of the boss battle, the faction cards used by the boss, or other game mechanics. I’ll start with some of my ideas:

Hyperion the Ringmaster (3/25)
At the end of your turn, summon random battle pets on all nearby spaces and give them Forcefield. Whenever a battle pet deals damage, restore 2 health and deal 2 damage to the enemy General.

Aporia, the Paradox Eater (4/20)
Whenever the enemy general takes damage or activates a spell, summon a random legendary minion on a nearby space and give it +1/+1. When you control 7 legendary minions, Doom the enemy General.

Centurion Ignatius (2/50)
You and your enemy general enter battle each with a 5/10 Valiant. Cannot be damaged as long as there is a friendly Valiant. Take 50 damage when the enemy Valiant destroys the friendly Valiant. Gain +10 attack and Provoke when the enemy Valiant is destroyed.

I found yet another thread like this one. But yes, I suppose we can bump this with an idea once in a while! :sweat_smile:

Unless all the ideas are already extinguished.

Cocoon of darkness (0/25) (doesn’t move)
At the start of your turn place shadowcreep tiles on one entire column starting for the right. When the entire board is covered in firendly shadow creeps you win the game.
If an enemy minion dies thanks to the effect of a shadow creep tile summon in under your control.

I’m not sure but these might be too many words. After reaching the left column the boss will start again from the right. (the “game end” condition only applies when ALL the tiles are creep tiles)
Alternatively, when the entire board is filled with creep tiles the boss will reach his second phase that will be a 25/25 with flying and the following effect: when an enemy minion is wounded by a creep tile take control of that minion until the end of your next turn.

Boss Idea #1:

A Boss challenge against two unique Bosses, named Balance and Imbalance.

Balance (10/10)
Whenever an enemy minion is played cast Equality Constraint on it. Whenever you take damage deal equal amount of damge to the enemy general.

Balance’s AI is programmed to always stay at the center of the board. The Boss also has a variety of cards ranging from Vetruvian to Magmar and Lyonar. To be more specific he uses a lot of healing cards such as Earth Sphere and Trinity Oath and for attacking/damaging/removal cards he uses Aperion’s Claim, Aymara healers, Tempest and Homeostatic Rebuke.

On the other hand…

Imbalance (0/100)
Flying. When a minion moves or is moved teleport it to a random location. At the start of your turn deal 95 damage to yourself and gain 2 attack. Dying Wish: If Balance is alive summon Imbalance.

Imbalance’s AI is simple: when he has more than 0 attack it targets the enemy general if not then he avoids him by staying in a corner. He uses cards from Vetruvian and Songhai and has artifacts such as Staff of Y’kir and Bangle of blinding strike while at the same time spells such as Burden of knowledge, neurolink and Mist dragon seal. Lastly, the minions he uses are Onyx Jaguar, Flamewreath, Envybear etc, basically cards that have synergy with moving/ teleprting effects.

Note that they have a common mana pool which means they share the same mana available each turn. However, Balance has priority over Imbalance and will play his cards first. And of course both you and the enemy Generals start at 4 mana.

More coming soon…

Circus Master Valen
2/20
every minion summoned becomes a battlepet
at the start of every turn friendly battlepets gain a random faction keyword
(adds the tribal tag, not an actual transformation. sorta like zendo) (gains keywords like rook)

circus clown fiesta :snowchaser: with an off color pennumbrax as ringmaster
mostly uses songhai and magmar cards for mobility, summoning, and reactivation
will use things like MDS zukong and crimson coil. also uses things like kolossus, taygete, and mind steal

Apocalypsius the doomed
There are 4 0/20 voidstones,1 at each mapcorner,
0/0:Cannot die by any means aslong there are voidstones on the battlefield.Cannot be dispelled.Deals 2 damage to the enemy general each turn.Whenever a voidstone leaves the field(no transform cheese!),destroy everything on that stones tile and summon a portal guardian there.Dark portal guardian:4/16 if destroyed heal the nearest unit by the amount of dmg the killing blow did(hardremoval does not heal…battlepet logic).If all voidstones are destroyed the doomed one gets the remaining health and attack of all guardians by destroying the guardians
The doomed one uses a deck full of selfdamaging stuff:hamon,draining wave,warlock,etc

Isnt porttal guardian already a card
And wouldnt plasma storm be an instant win
And couldnt you just use the invulnerable keyword

Didnt think of portal guardian
Plasma storm and you will deal with a 24/64 general
Invulnerable keyword cheeses every boss…i already added the 2 bonusdamage to stop stallcheese but there are limits.

Kinda makes me think you know…that only my suggestion is taking critique and that that critique gets a like from yet anohter of the influencial community members whereas the bossidea itself didnt
I guess it confirms the thought that most here despise me …the thought that started to occur when noone mentioned me within the name.after event.I guess such is the payoff for my very toxic start,…i wonder if my current posts are still considered toxic.

are you saying i’m an

awesome

i’m flattered

ALSO: We don’t hate you, (or at least I dont I guess), but your idea didn’t seem too well thought out, which @oranos pointed out

we dont hate you. its just that whenever people post things like that i can help but think of ways to improve it.

portal guardian is an actual card, so you should change the name to avoid confusion
you could make it less confusing by saying “is invulnerable while a voidstone is on the field” especially since it has 0/0 stats
and plasma storm is a genuine concern for any structure based boss. ordering can sometimes look like spaghetti and the boss might die immediatly since it has 0hp and dies before the guardians are even summoned

Don’t be discouraged; people are only giving you constructive feedback. Although your suggestion had some technical weaknesses, it was a pretty cool idea nevertheless.
