Boss discussion: Sunflower Queen

Sunflower queen

Bfn description: BATTLE THIS ROYALE! This will surely age well.

The queen looks like a giant Mystic Flower, but with sharper petals, golden glowing petals, and is around five times larger, with white glowing eyes. Unlike other Sunflowers, her hands are spherical rather than flat.

Powers

Royal sun pulse: She fires a sun pulse which deals very high impact damage along with significant splash damage.

Vine Whip: Sunflower Queen's melee attack. Uses this attack twice in one sequence. Deals immense knockback.

Sun Gather: Sunflower Queen will root into the ground and soak up sun for a short time. After she is done charging, she is able to use Solar Cannon and a charged version of Vine Whip for a short while. Whilst she is charging up, she will open the leaves at the bottom of her stem, exposing a core similar to the ones on the Mega Flower that, when attacked, will cause the Sunflower Queen to take critical damage. This is the only way to apply crit damage to her in gw2.

Solar Cannon: Only usable when Sunflower Queen soaks up sun. She deals extremely high damage and fires a constant laser, similar to Sunflower's Sunbeam. 

Sunflower Aid: Summons 3 Mystic Flowers (regular Sunflowers in bfn) as support enemies. They will automatically begin to heal her and each other in addition to attacking enemies.

Health

Easy: 1300 HP

Normal 2000 HP

Hard: 2700 HP

CRAAAAAZY: 3400 HP

Gw2: She emerges from the ground and shows her weak spot like a pot belly before fully blooming her head and leaves and covering it. Her elite wave consists kf Mystic Flowers, Power Flowers, and Zen Cacti.

Bfn: She spawns Weeds, Wildflowers, and Peashooters to attack the player.

Once she loses a fourth of her health, she charges up, and becomes invincible. Sun spots appear around the map. More spawn every time a quarter of her health is lost. Every time one is destroyed, the timer refreshes. If the timer runs out, she heals herself. You have 10 minutes to defeat her. Failure to do so will result in a game over.

If you ask me she was butchered. Just look at her visual design. She lost the glowing figuring, crest lines, and her eyes don't even glow! It's just regular sunflower eyes now! Did they forget or just run out of time to add textures and effects to the character?

Gameplay wise she now gets crit damage when hit in the face in bfn, WHY? Why would you give her a perfectly executed weakness that also is her greatest strength and prioritizes hitting her with everything you got at the time. This phase mattered because her solar cannon would melt you if she fully charged.

Her elite wave is a joke since its another invincibility phase that is so easy you have to be really off your game to fail and her attacks and minions are a joke.

Deadbeard was one of the best classes to fight her in gw2 since he could harass her for range and bomb her during her summons to wipe out the mystics with cannon rodeo.

She appears in the backyard and her minions carry her as Giga Garg usually puts her down. Great when paired with Giga Torchwood.

In gw2 Sunflowers (whether or not summoned by the Sunflower Queen) have a tendency to prioritize her when choosing who to heal. She is the queen after all.

Despite being a sunflower she does not smile or heal.

In graveyard ops this is the only boss that appears when getting to the Landing Zone.
