I believe we need a new tier 1 boss. Me and me friend have gotten tired of fighting the same old stupid easy Snarbolax! So I've been thinking of a Devilite boss of sorts who should be named "The Big Man!"
-------------Devilite Lord: The Big Man-----------------------------
He would be in a large square arena with spike traps all around the outside area. He would call in Devilite Overtimers to do his dirty work as he sips on his giant coffee mug (like some business bosses). He will move around swatting in the specific direction with his coffee mug in an attempt to hit you. If you get it you'll be given a moderate stun and a decent amount of health lost.

Once he takes enough damage he'll throw his coffee mug at you which does a great amount of damage compared to his first attack. He'll periodically drink his mug to restore some health but if you can hit him a few times he'll stop that.

He should give a new token of sorts which I can't think of at the moment. Please ask extra questions if your confused or anything like that. I'll try to make him a bit more detailed as I go along

I would prefer a Devilite boss in Tier 1 if you know what I mean ;)

Imo

the pitch for the devilite CEO is better

yes spylash

but that thread is a little ways back and this is taking a different approach. if people add to it, it could be great to.
________________________________
What if in his second phase he overtimed himself? Minor increase to speed, he gets the before mentioned attacks, but perhaps he could have unique minions in the 2nd stage, coffee blobs. When he does a cup swing in this stage, theres a slim chance that a bit of coffee will slosh from the cup, and be an enemy on impact of the ground.

Sounds pretty sweet. I agree

Sounds pretty sweet. I agree on the T2 aspect of it though. also with phase 2 i would suggest when he throws his mug/cup at you the coffee turns into the above mentioned coffee slimes instead of an empty cup/mug. Also the mug shatter would spread out like a spine cone effect and appply pierce damage to anything it hits causing a minor knock back and possibly a slight 2 second stun.

Another thing to add would be something to the effect of a caffeine withdraw for a phase 3.
after defeating his phase 2 his mug will be shattered around the edges and he will grow angry from the withdraw of caffeine in his system becoming more aggressive and stronger smashing his fist down. freezing his fist on the ground or shooting it from afar would cause him to wince in pain. after a moderate amount of damage is done to his fist he is defeated.

this maybe overly complicated for a T1 boss so T2 sounds a little better in my opinion.

@Luckythumper:I guess most

@Luckythumper:

I guess most of the bosses are simple, but none are exactly hack'n'slash.

Snarby: Hit the bell to stun him and make him vulnerable for a bit. Repeat until he dies.
JK: Attack him. He eats his minions to heal. Keep attacking until he dies.
Roarmy Twins: Control the gates so they shoot each other. Repeat until they die.
Vana: Attack until he goes mask phase. Use water on mask, attack. Attack Vana. Repeat mask phase until mask dies. Attack Vana until he dies.

Simplified versions of the boss battles. Each requires some attacking, some strategy, and some caution. And each is generally simple. The minions in them:

Snarby: None.
JK: Polyps, Royal Minis, Brute Jellies.
Roarmy Twins: Scuttlebots.
Vana: Slag Walkers, Slag Guards.

Even less minions than strategy in them, really. This boss requires ore strategy the others, and has ore challenging minions (exceptions for Vana), especially for T1.

tirer 1 and prizes?

i want it 2 be in tier 1 cause there ar already 2 bosses is tier 2 and i dont think ppl likes 2 go down all the way 2 depth 17 everyday just to earn 1-4 tokens, so more ppl will play in tier 1 cause is quick and easy and the boss isnt good old snarby. AND anyone got ideas for wat the boss weapon should be? a coffee mug!?

rather than "the big man", I

rather than "the big man", I would rather see a much more straight forward name like "The Boss". since the "Boss" would have a "duel" meaning in this case :3

BTW, he should have a second phase, where he becomes fast, fiery, and brandishes two pitchforks, it would be beastly awesome, especially if he hulked out, ripping his suit and getting really buff.
