Fast update, Phoenix themed contents have been fixed/tweaked, plus new rathalos weapons resprites made by Ghoul (has no TCF account I can link to) have been included.
1.0.0.3 Changelog
- Attempted to sync Phoenix armor on multiplayer servers. Apparently working, can cause some affected NPCs to lag slightly.
- New sprites for Rathalos Scales and all Rathalos based weapons.
- Phoenixes AIs tweaked to be more punishing but less time consuming.*
- Phenix Breath is a new magic weapon craftable from a Wooden Wand and all three phoenix crests. This is meant to be the ultimate pre-hardmode magic weapon, comparable to Demon Scythe in terms of dps, but focused on single target.
- Every use creates 3 projectiles spinning in a circle around the same axis.
- 10 useTime (Very Fast)
- 20 magic damage
- 2 knockback (Very Weak)
- 6 mana cost per use
*The phoenixes had their AI tweaked to improve the fight's fluidity by trying to reduce the no-dps times in favor of harder punishment for failing to keep the dps below the threshold.
As you might already know, the phoenixes have an hidden value increasing any time they suffer damage. The particles they emit will grow as they receive damage. Value would lower over time, but after reaching a certain threshold they would switch to their invulnerable phase.
Now, the value will not lower over time anymore, making it relatively easier to accidentally reach the threshold, however, not dealing any damage for 2 seconds straight will reset the value to its minimum instantly, allowing the players to go back dealing dps with shorter "holes" waiting for the value to slowly go down.
The duration of the invincibility phase has also been lowered by half, the phoenix will still heal the same amount of HP however.
Additionally, after an invincibility phase, the phoenix will shoot projectiles at a much faster rate for the duration of the whole AI cycle. The rate will go back to normal on the next and every following cycle, at least until a new invincibility phase will be triggered.
