The Dark Messiah - The Battle



Hp:

65,000



The Dark Messiah flies around the sky, trying to slam into you and cut you up with his gargantuan scythe. (60 DMG) Then, he flies into the air and shoots Giant versions of Demon Scythe at you. (30 DMG each)



Once he does that attack, he summons Fairies or Unicorns into the field to murder you. Lastly, he then shoots a giant Explosion (That does not destroy blocks) at you that can deal 150 DMG on impact.



Once he gets down to a set amount of HP...



30,000/65,000



He tries to ram you again. But faster. It also deals 75 DMG this time. His Demon Scythes get bigger and stronger. (45 DMG each) He does not summon monsters this time, but he can shoot you with a Crystal Storm attack. (15 DMG each crystal) The explosion also deals more damage than before. (200 DMG if direct hit, 100 DMG if caught somewhere in the outer explosion radius.)

I'm making my judgments based on how early this boss can be summoned.

The Dark Messiah - The Battle
Hp: 65,000
For something pre-Plantera, i'd suggest 40,000.
The Dark Messiah flies around the sky, trying to slam into you and cut you up with his gargantuan scythe. (60 DMG) Then, he flies into the air and shoots Giant versions of Demon Scythe at you. (30 DMG each)

Once he does that attack, he summons Fairies or Unicorns into the field to murder you. Lastly, he then shoots a giant Explosion (That does not destroy blocks) at you that can deal 150 DMG on impact.
Seems a bit much, explosion or not. I would lessen the damage by a bit, or at least give me the blast's diameter .

Once he gets down to a set amount of HP...
30,000/65,000

He tries to ram you again. But faster. It also deals 75 DMG this time. His Demon Scythes get bigger and stronger. (45 DMG each) He does not summon monsters this time, but he can shoot you with a Crystal Storm attack. (15 DMG each crystal) The explosion also deals more damage than before. (200 DMG if direct hit, 100 DMG if caught somewhere in the outer explosion radius.)
Again, less damage on the explosion, maybe around 175 for direct hits.

Essentially a much stronger Death Sickle. I would tone down the damage on this to make it at least equal to the Death Sickle.

This isn't mandatory, but i'd reduce the amount of souls dropped to 45 or 40.

The effect is nice, but the damage is far too high. I'd reduce it to 24, and maybe give it the firing style of a clockwork assault rifle, or that of a shotgun.

Messiah Armor
Hood:
25 Defense <- reduce to 15
5% Melee Damage increase
5% Magic Damage increase
5% Ranged Damage increase
5% Summon Damage increase
Robe:
25 Defense
5% Melee Damage increase
5% Magic Damage increase
5% Ranged Damage increase
5% Summon Damage increase
Pants:
20 Defense
5% Melee Damage increase
5% Magic Damage increase
5% Ranged Damage increase
5% Summon Damage increase

Gives you a total of:
70 Total Defense <- reduce to 60
15% Total Melee Damage increase
15% Total Magic Damage increase
15% Total Ranged Damage increase
15% Summon Damage increase

SET BONUS:
Creates a "Glittering" effect surrounding your character.
Makes your character glow at around Regular Torch brightness.

A bit heavy on the armor, but the nicest all-class armor i've seen in a while!

Not quite sure how to feel about this one.

Overall, I like the idea in itself, but this boss can be summoned very early and drops insane weapons and armor. It needs some rebalancing, which is something i'm not the best at.
 
i agree with thatonerobloxhater, these items are around plantera or post-plantera tier, and you can make them before plantera. perhaps something to make it more balanced?
