Not a bug bug, simply a consequence of the range being too low. But to my knowledge it is unique in that this is the only weapon that is completely unable to damage a boss. It's my belief that a player being able to softlock themselves should be considered a bug and should be fixed.
Some suggestions:
- Shard bomb rework that makes it a more viable weapon in other places as well as during this encounter. My preferred option but understandably unlikely.
- Increase radius of shard cores.
- Enable shards to spawn on the opposite end of low walls when close enough. Why should shard bombs be restricted from what swords, guns, and indeed other bombs are able to do?
- Replace thick borders on the side with thinner borders.
- Extend hurtboxes for the Roarmulii.
- Have shuttlebots frequently drop the airstrike damage item.
- Roarmulus rocket inflict damage in addition to the stun.
Hi Zeddy, Does Dark retribution hit the twins? if not add that aswell... Shards need to be look up to, so they are not a Blast bomb, but also not a Blast Bomb with extra steps... I'm not suggesting returning to the projectile shower they where, but something new would be nice.
I was going to suggest the shards to cause damage while airborne since there is an animation of a flying shard from the center to the outer ring... but that could be seeing as a Brandish charge attack and possibly remove the fun for some people.
I agree with Your suggestions and probably Would fix the wonky feeling of using them... even outside of the Twins, what about changing the knockback of the outer shards for a knock down? so the center pushes and the ring 'stun-lock them'?
Nice to see that You are 'more often?' on the game!
