Spooky Squash Boss Hunt for May
We miss the Spooky Squash boss hunt, almost half year since we had that. Can we bring back Spooky Squash boss hunt for May?
Forum Discussion
My challenge is as always the "Rando Hunt". I think i might even upload a couple videos. Which also document perfectly how poorly designed and scripted this is.
I even once had the Squash spawn at a different location.
But surprising things happen. And so i had a match with a competent Imp for once where we actually managed to take 2/3 of the Squash HP in one rush.
i played a round the other night with @JustCallMeTotal with two low level randoms. Neither of them had a full grasp of the game mechanics, but heaven be praised they LISTENED when we told them what needed to be done. It's a good idea to wear the scrumptious bucket if you play scientist, it signals to randoms that you probably know what's up.
The lower level of the two (I think they might have actually been level zero) was playing imp and along with a bunch of coaching from his friend regarding strategy, we were successful with a fairly smooth run. That guy was eager! He kept asking "can we kill him now?!?!" It was like having a little kid in the back seat on a long drive.
Anybody on tonight (6/28)? If so what time?
It's satisfying when you able to guide newbie and successfully beat the boss hunt 🙂
What is "RandoHunt" in Boss Hunt? Close your eyes then roll your stick down so you pick a character randomly?
I'm fine with that since all of them are master 🙂

I might be. We're going out of town tomorrow, so I'm not sure.
Need help also for Crazy Mode of Squash Hunt.
We almost got the Boss in Crazy. The Best Team will comprise of 3 scientist and Toxic Brainz. They were high ranked players.
Just when he had about 1 more round of sugar rush left, the game crashed. I was pissed.
Anyways, that combination, for sure works as long as the healers know what they are doing and the Anchor team also knows how to defend and understand that when the Squash is on top of the platform, you dont have to anchor the posts immediately. You can let the squash leave the area, and then, go up the anchor post.
Anyways, experienced players only.

Lol no. Its simply to jump into the portal and hope for the best.
But i am done with this bs anyways. Popcap simply cannot make this franchise into something useful.
Getting camped by the Squash up top or have the Champion Sunflowers tail the Squash to heal him. Easy to fix for competent developers. But not for Popcap.
The entire hunt is pure luck and randomness.
That is not a defect, it works as per design to make the game more challenging and unpredictable and rewarding as well.

This simply cannot be true. Simply because it would proof (albeit once again) that Popcap is incompetent at game design. It simply looks like they overlooked the sunflowers behavior of healing hurt allied units. Unaware of her own importance, without any specific scripting about the champion status.
It is not challenging. It is broken. Is adds a high chance of the team being wiped out by the carrier being blown to pieces, the team being demolished by the Squash' fire splash or the stun in combination with fire and weeds, or simply by running out of time because the boss blocks all the shots at the sunflower. Last scenario either means to go around and lose time, most likely even the carrier. Or lose time again because the Squash is blocking the target. And since the team will most likely stick together for Heal Bombs and to swarm the champion, the Squash will have an easy time just bombing the entire team. You end up dead or run out of time.
