@stukapookaGood idea re the guides and tier lists as the many newbies to the Boss Hunt will of course need as much help as possible, but it will be bit of a job for you (rather you than me :-) That said. It would be an enormous help for me too as I will have much more confidence in my newbie team mates (hoping that they are on the forum).
Look forward to reading it, as there could be details on how to tackle the Hunts which I’ve never considered.
Re the Engineer I have used him (The Electrician) in The Brothers Gnomus hunt with success, as he is an effective heavy hitter, but I haven’t tried the other variants as I found the Brothers, although difficult, to be the easiest of the four and I quickly moved on to The King’s Day Out and Spooky Squash.
@ManicMossieI would love to do them so it wouldn't be a hassle. 🙂
Ranking them as variants instead of just as classes would be difficult as someone like base all star and superbrainz would be s tier as a whole in my opinion but cozmic brainz or baseball star would be trickier to pin down.
Every sunflower would probably get S do to healing alone but ranking them individually will be hard as sometimes ones like vampire flower can either be really good or get folded immediatly depending on the difficulty and accuracy of the player.
I find every engineer to be good but if one had to be singled out as less useful its probably roadie z. The extra health is nice but being close ranged is a bad thing when the boss is hitting you in the face like spookys flame breath for massive damage and the cursed gnomes are getting closer where you don't want them.
Gnomes were the easiest hunt but i personally found the minions in that hunt to be a bigger threat than the boss. Especially the shooty gnomes.
@stukapookaI think I would do, as you're suggesting, namely ranking them as Classes and then within each class mention those that are preferable for the Hunt.
For example. Take The King's Day Out and when looking at just two characters that would be part of the Team Composition
One could say here that most of the enemies in this hunt can freeze one and therefore it is essential to have at least one Sunflower, and preferably two.
With crowd control in mind, Alien Flower and Power Flower are particularly well adapted to this Hunt, although the Vampire Flower is also useful due to her ability to heal herself when inflicting damage. Fire Flower is also worth looking at, as when aiming between two enemies that are close to one another both enemies can be hit with the same shot.
Re. the abilities you mentioned in your last post, one could say that it would be recommended to use the Rainbow Flower rather than the default Healing Flower, as it drops single sundrops constantly rather than the latter which does so only in small groups every couple of seconds.
One could then go on to the Citron class and point out that the elevated health and the Peel Shield give some heft to the team's firepower and that their speed-boosting ability makes them ideal when the Yeti King begins to dance. Last of all their EMP ability is useful for slowing down the Yeti King etc. etc.
Finally one could mention those character classes that would not be suitable such as the Cactus (slower rate of fire with a focus on long-range shots) and Chomper classes (exclusively Melee and Close Range characters), but in the same breath point out that of the Chompers the Yeti Chomper would be a good choice as he is also a ranged character.
Looking back on what I have just written about the Sunflowers and briefly, the Citron Class, has hardly made a dent on what will become a Guide on how to beat the Yeti King, so it is a h... of a job that you're taking on, but it would be great if you had the time to make one, but it will definitely be a challenge.
