Like the Pirate Gargantuar from the end of the zombie quest line in GW2, I wish this one was used more. At least this one did eventually make her way into BfN, even if her elite hunt isn't the best.
She's basically a boss variant and that's actually cool. I'd love to have a fiery super chili bean boss (I think there's one in the files for GW2 that never got released), mummified gargantuars, and others to mix things up a bit.
In Bfn, the hypno effects have always been more noticeable than in GW2, but then there's that bug introduced from a patch that made it and the sunflower heal beam linger after the plant doing it is defeated which made it even worse. I really wish they would have fixed that before pulling support from BfN.
Her boss fight in GW2 was rough, although I recall the pirate gangantuar being even harder, but it's been awhile since I played those missions. Her elite boss fight is interesting with the goat situation, but like Reality_Squared pointed out, the lack of any real consequence for failing to change back to a zombie, you just respawn in a few seconds, makes a fight that could be very difficult, a trivial affair. I know that many of us are flooded with team retries and self revives in the GW games (partly why I suggested letting us buy them and other consumables in a store as we see fit rather than from RNG sticker packs), but that's better than how it works in BfN.
I am glad they added her to BfN, I love seeing more stuff in these games, but it could have been better than what we got.
@Iron_Guard8 While I do like the final hunts at the end of both gw2 campaigns, I simply wish the game did more like that of building up an antagonist and then having be fought at the end of that questline.
The chili bean boss does exist and apparently the zombies would have to fight him with deodorant to make him damageable.
That beam glitch is a pain.
Captain Smasher was harder because his test of strength koed your team if you failed unlike the goat phase which just leaves you defenseless.
The elite waves in bfn lack a lot of stakes due to every character coming back to life even if the team gets wiped out as a whole which was the loss condition in boss hunt. The only way to lose elite waves in bfn is to be inept for ten minutes straight.
I don't mind her coming back just that i think it could be a lot better than just a nerfed boss hunt version.
