Abyssal Worm
Type: End Boss
The fight against the Worm unfolds in 3 phases:
Phase 1:
The Abyssal Worm behaves very evasive (moves around the map quite often) and also deals a good amount of damage with her attacks. She shoots most of the time but sometimes also attacks in melee. She can even move away from a blocked position before shooting. The main goal of the boss is to disorganize the player’s army and create an opportunity for swallowing one of his creatures. Phase 2 begins once a creature has been swallowed.
General strategy :
Phase 2:
A swallowed creature is temporarily removed from the player’s control and digested by the boss (dealt damage before each of her actions). However the swallowed creature makes the boss unable to move rendering herself temporarily an easy target; she may still attack though with her basic attacks.
General strategy:
Phase 3:
Near the end of the fight the Abyssal Worm enters a frenzy: it stops devouring units and acts more often every turn. The player is brought to an increased level of difficulty to hunt the evasive creature and also challenged to finish off the boss as soon as possible.
General strategy:
Developer’s Tip:
Large creatures cannot be devoured. Small creatures can avoid being devoured by standing near obstacles or large creatures.
Once you hit the Abyssal Worm in melee, try to hit her with every action, or Lava Blood will slowly consume your army.
Artifacts and abilities granting Fire Resistance or Movement to creatures are very valuable when fighting the Abyssal Worm.
