For one, I see you're a fan of thaumcraft. Second, even though it seems like a decent early game boss, the weapons should be more balanced. The damage of the rotten staff is pitiful for a boss that is harder than the eater of worlds, yet the brain blaster's dps is one of the best in pre hardmode. Also, this feels too similar to king slime: he's an early game boss that is a giant "king" version of a regular enemy, has a 1 in 200 chance of replacing a standard enemy in the outer thirds of the map, and has grunt minions.

What ever that is, I've never heared of. (Maybe the Brain sprite is out of there, but I just searched "brain pixelart")

I'm not sure if you've ever heared of Queen bee...
Also: There are a lot of mecanics, that are used a few times

P.S. I know, this is terrible balanced, but for that it's a work in progress! What are your ideas to make it better?

That's the zombie brain sprite from a minecraft mod called thaumcraft. I guess I can understand it.

Queen bee is similar to king slime? Uhh, apart from the "Queen", that's pretty much all the similarities. Queen bee has completely different spawning conditions, has her own minibiome, has different attacks, and lots of unique drops. Meanwhile, the zombie king has the exact same spawning conditions as king slime, is based off of a common pre-hardmode enemy, and has the same miniboss "vibe" that king slime has. He feels more like an alternate version of king slime.

For one, you should nerf the brain blaster. It does way too much damage. Maybe something like 17 damage would be less overpowered. As for the rotten staff, you should make it do maybe 15 damage instead of 8.

I support........if u nerf the brain blaster.

Hey guys... Well, i could nerf the Brain Blater, but I think it is fine balanced:
​
Demon Bow:
Damage: 14+6 (Flaming Arrow)
Use time: 24
DPS: (36/24)*(14+6)=30
High Range

Brain Blaster:
Damage: 26 (Brain Shred)
Use time: 36
DPS: (36/36)*(26)=26 (+Splash)
Low Range​

So, I thing it it's quite fine balanced, but if I really change sth. I'll buff the Brain Blaster! Agreed, guys?

Well, the rotten staff is a bit to weak, I knew, but not too much:


Rotten Staff:
Damage:8
Summon type: meele (It will fly to the enemy to deal damage fast)


Hornet Staff:
Discovert by killing Queen Bee and crafting
Damage: 9
Summon type: ranged (It will shout at the enemy to deal damage earlier, but slower)


Well, I'll increase the Damage to 13, OK?

Why should allways be used new game mecanics, if the existing ones are quite fine?

Also: King slime can spawn any time, this guy waits, until you have a bit more def and life.

Support! how do you get a tasty looking brain btw?

Thank you!

why is it a mini boss if it has higher stats than eye of cthulhu?
Click to expand...

Because it behaves like a miniboss, i think; It spawns randomly and does drop like minibosses, not this plethora of domonite ore. It also hasn't an own mini biom like queen bee. (But if you like it, your allowed to call him BOSS ;))

Ok, I'll play along with your logic. 1.3 shouldn't add any enemies with new AI, because the existing AI is perfectly fine. Also, it shouldn't add any new concepts for items, since the existing ideas for items are also perfectly fine.

I don't want Re-Logic to turn into 505 games, where all of their content is through reskins.

Hello @ethanciavo,
I'm allways open for new ideas and new mecanics, but i think, terraria should remain terraria, if you know what I mean...
I also had a few different suggestions, but I also think, i shouldn't change terraria compeately.
