Skeleton King/Tactics

== Boss Attacks ==
* Leaps and slams the ground, launching a whole circle of triangular bullets. 
* Slashes with his blades, creating 2 arcs of bullets in a rapid session. 
* Summons 8 homing missiles, (similar to Christmas Treant) which start moving after a short delay.
** Due to a bug, if he was defeated when the missiles spawn, their sprite will remain but do nothing. 
**These projectiles cannot be reflected.
* Summons a few Skeleton (Sword) units. They can trigger weapons, buffs, or skills dependent on enemy kills. They also can potentially drop energy when killed.
** If they are killed they will despawn after a few seconds. 
* Holds one of his blades, dashes forward and fires a fast explosive shot. Can be predicted when the player hears a loud, metallic sword chime.
== Tactics ==
This boss is highly mobile. When he becomes enraged, his bullets will go much faster and the player will have to use cover more often. However, due to the high mobility of the boss and homing bullets, the statues will not protect the player from all attacks. Be sure to bring a melee weapon to destroy other projectiles. 
Be sure to keep running due to the explosions and homing bullets. The statues can be used as cover and provide time to regenerate the player's armor.
If the player has the correct restoration buffs, the player can kill the summoned skeletons to activate them. The Fire Buff could also be useful since the boss does use quite lots of explosive attacks.
Elf is recommended for this boss, since the boss spawns lots of other minions, every kill from them in Focus mode will regenerate the player's vines back, making them constantly be able to block damage from the boss. This can also restore a lot of energy. Stacking up with a good area-damage weapon, like the Rocket Gun M1, and the player can just basically stay stationary and the boss will be killed without the player taking a single hit to their armor bar.
The boss is also vulnerable to control (slowing/stopping) effects that will keep it from moving too much, allowing the player to inflict heavy damage without missing too many attacks.
