Plantera
So, This is my first suggestion! I almost find it weird I haven't done anything yet considering how I used to frequent the suggestion forums.
I've actually been spending about half a month passively building upon ideas, doodling, jotting notes, and this is the result!

Feel free to help rename anything cause I suck with names XD

Yes I renamed them in the last edit

These three bosses will be post-Plantera .​

Summoning

First off, the player must craft the Challenger's Obelisk (will be described later) and place it anywhere in the world with suitable room (it's tall). The bosses will spawn according to how many hardmode bosses have been defeated. For each boss killed, their spawn chance increases by 5%. For each boss, a segment of the obelisk will glow. The maximum percentage stackable is 50% (each segment is glowing).At the start of the day with the event active, the text "The Challengers have arrived!" and each of the bosses will spawn at the Obelisk closest to the original spawn point in their NPC forms. Yup, that's right, they start as NPCs like the clother and skeletron. And of course, they are immune to damage. To initiate the boss fight, open up the dialogue with one of them and select "challenge". All of them must be fought at once.

Unlike most bosses, if you fail, they don't despawn. They will revert to NPC form, and regain all their health. However they will drop 25% less coins each time you have lost to them (losing four times will deplete the coin drop to 0. They will stay there until they have been defeated.

The Bosses

So this is the fun part (stats are subject to change)
All the bosses can no-clip through walls similar to Mourning Wood and Everscream

Melee boss: "The Tank"
This guy has the highest health, and is the most aggressive of the three.

40,000/40,000
  • Slowly walks toward you (think paladin)
  • Lunges at you with his sword 3 times with brief pauses in between.
  • Stands in one place, and fire a volley of three homing missiles from his chest. These are fast moving and have 100 health, 100 defense, and do 70 damage. They explode when destroyed inflicting damage if you are too close.
  • restarts pattern
Phase 2 20,000/40,000 (Blue flames will now shoot out of his back and head) (sprite to be added later)
  • Runs at you with greatly increased speed.
  • Lunges at you with increased speed and has a 33% chance to perform an "upward swing" in the case that the player has flown above him.
  • Fires a rapid bust of 8 missiles (same as previous but with no pause) and then shoots a Greek fire projectile that bounces, coating the floor with fire that does 50 damage and lingers for 10 seconds
  • Will jump up attempting to land on you and then restarts pattern
Phase 3 10,000/40,000 (His chest plate will break off revealing the missile tubes in his chest; flames turn green) (sprites to be added later)

He drops his trophy at this stage

10,000 health
100 damage
15 defense
  • Charges at you directly with insane amounts of speed and will go airborne for short periods of time if needed.
  • Fires a constant barrage of missiles that continues for 5 seconds.
  • Charges at you again but leaves Greek fire behind him that last 20 seconds and linger in the air for an average amount of time.
  • Swings his sword down sending a large shockwave projectile towards you that does 100 damage.
  • restarts pattern

Ranged Boss: "The Ghoul"
This guy tends to stay further away and focuses on attacking the player via range.

Tooltip: (working on it)
This staff casts three spinning balls of light in a arc that slowly moves forward for 3 seconds. After 3 seconds have passed, the projectiles will accelerate greatly and home in on the nearest enemy. The projectiles no clip through walls, but will prefer to home on enemies not obstructed by blocks.

Use time: 27
Tooltip: Summons cursed paintings to fight for you.
Buff: Paintings have risen to fight for you
This summoning weapon will summon 4 different types of minions. A melee orientated, a ranger, a drop collector, and a buffer. (I'll add the sprites later)
The melee orientated would track enemies in a similar fashion to the minions of the pirate staff
The Ranger will hover around a target, shooting a piercing shot every 2 seconds.
The drop collector does exactly what it is supposed to do, collect drops. They will no clip through blocks to collect drops and go back to you with the drops. hey can pick up one stack of items each trip.
The Buffer will stay near you, giving you the buff "Ink shield" ( +2 Defense, +2 HP/s Life regen, +5% damage, +20% minion knockback) you can have a maximum of two of these.
Due to the way the staff works, You will get four different minion buff icons. The staff will normally cycle between all four minions in the order of melee, ranged, collector, and buffer before cycling back. However, clicking on an existing minion will summon a minion of the same type.

(This is incomplete and will be added to later) I'm about 1/3 of the way done but feel free to comment or criticize. I'd also like some help on names, but the Zhan Ma Dao stays :p

Update 3: Added drop info for the Shadow Mage and changed method of summoning
Update 2: renamed thread, added The Ghoul, lowered The Tank's health, changed method of summoning.
Update 1: Added summon method and the 1st boss The Tank

Im not saying that your bad but its too classic and definitly not logic (eyes with teeth, pig like flying fish, you know). Its hard to make something in relogic style.
Maybe armor of chutulu
I think that challengers is to much rpg like but it's hard to connect that kind of boss into terraria

Cthulhu threads get flamed on spot. Better leave any reference to Cthulhu out :p
I agree with you on everything else. But yet again, this is only a third of what I have :cool:
Maybe the others will fit in a little better after I post them in

Ok, I've added a lot of new content, changed the name (waiting for a mod to change the title) and changed the mechanics quite a bit. Stay tuned for more!
 
This is actually quite cool and the provided spritework is aesthetically pleasing, if not a bit too large. A lot of elaboration is provided, too, which makes for good understanding and specifications on the suggestion. Concept is good, and the finished result; even better. Add more!
 
I like it! Who did your sprite artwork? It looks great!

I definitely like the idea of fighting them all at once. It'd be cool to do 3v3 matches with these! It'd be amazing.
 
Looks a bit weird for Terraria. #2 seems like it would be crazy hard to dodge it's attack pattern. I like the concept of them being NPC before you fight them though. Great pixel art btw!!

Thanks! All these sprites are mine.
I got the idea of the 1 vs 3 recently from Yrimir's reborn mod video.

The Ghoul's attacks would be pretty inaccurate, the phase 2 bullet attacks would be similar to Santa-NK1' standard attack. The arrow salvo would be delayed "cause it's a salvo", and the lasers wouldn't be a continuos beam. making it dodgeable.

I'll add this in to clarify when I have access to my computer later.

Oh, and thanks :p

Oh, whoops. I thought #1s 3rd phase was another boss. Those attacks look pretty hard to dodge.
 
personally, i like the RPG-esque vibe that these guys carry, and in my opinion, there is room for some elements borne from the rpg style. that blather aside, i like the concept of having a beefed up challenge added to the game, thinking about all of the bosses that we've seen over the years, all of the different play styles and strategies that have been created and how the game has been evolving around these things, having a unique "boss" team like this would really force us to push ourselves to our limits to keep up and come out as the victor.

with THAT said, i'm sure if for sake of argument, if this was ever implemented, the devs would most likely revamp the designs for a more terrarian feel, but even as a "beta" concept, they have a very cool look about them, in which i know i can certainly appreciate.

i even found it intriguing that you had even given ideas for the the AI they would have. sure, they would give us an idea on what they would do, but once you put it into motion and see it in actual play, it would prove to be "swamping" very quickly. i mean c'mon, look at duke fishron and all of his shenanigans!! but with some careful planning and patience, it is a very realistic goal to be able to stand up and beat them....after many many bloody deaths and practice! :D

in conclusion to my analysis, i most definitely support your idea :)

CHEERS!
 
You have my vote too , nice sprites and description , and this two items made me hungry (hehe)
