The Toxic way to make a good bossfight!

So, yeah. This will tell you tips and tricks to make your bossfight more enjoyable!

Wiki rules

  1. If you want to edit, tell me what you are editing, and then I will approve.
  2. If you edit, and you add a dropdown, then put your name in the contributors section.
1. Visual Enjoyment

So, I’ve seen so many trending bossfights with just an overpowered sentry, and you can just do whatever and it just has a background of grass. It’s terrible, and that’s not what a bossfight is. You want a good mixture, like the wasteland terrain(all types) and those nuclear bunkers and the nuclear barrels. Maybe even gasoline bottles.
Examples:

(note: all props should have no collision if they’re in the middle of the battlefield. Those bookcases in the second example can have no collision.)

2. Good Graphics

You want some moves on the boss. Like, you don’t want some random big sentry with a legendary pixelator blasting you. For this, I usually use a trigger loop. The blocks are just broadcasting random channels, but it does something. It makes things that deal damage (triggers, zones, lasers, etc. ) flash in and out, creating a cool effect that makes it enjoyable.

3. Bossfight Balance

You do NOT want your bossfight to be too overpowered. You also don’t want it to have to little health, or have a move that makes it impossible to even do anything before dying. You want the perfect amount of balance, so that people don’t rage, or beat it too easily.

4. Theme

You want a theme, and the bossfight should fit. Like, the sentry can’t be frostington at the beach. It has to match, and be pretty consistent with the props.

I will add on to this later, but this is the layout.

i love your first example but it just seems to overcrowded. And if i am making a boss fight idealy i would want more space to fight.

What’s overcrowded? The props have no collision.
