Boss fights are unique, as every different boss plays differently than the core game.  
+
Boss fights are unique fights that each play very differently than the core game loop. Each one is based on a different game genre and contains different game mechanics.
  
 
The boss menu select screen is to the left, where upon clicking the screen opens the boss selection menu. On the bottom next to the fight button are arrows to increase the tier of boss you wish to fight. Click to go up by 1 tier, or shift-click to go up by 100 (or to your highest tier if lower than 100).

The first 4 bosses have a set of boss modules you can use in the fight to greatly increase your power, unlocked by acquiring all the linked modules listed next to them. These give certain abilities to the Tower that only further increase in power the more you defeat that boss, and can be upgraded with Statue resources. Each defeat gives you combat experience that further increases the stats of the modules. Currently, only Dodecai has them, but the other 3 will have them added here once they get them. The final boss will not have boss modules, and will instead get a hardmode for those that want the challenge.

The first 4 bosses have a set of boss modules you can use in the fight to greatly increase your power, unlocked by acquiring all the linked modules listed next to them. These give certain abilities to the Tower that increase in power with their tier (upgraded using Statue resources) and combat experience (obtained by killing the respective boss with it equipped). Currently, Cylindro, Cubos Jr and Dodecai all have been reworked, but Pyramidas has yet to receive an official rework as of now. The final boss will not have boss modules, and will instead get a hardmode for those that want the challenge.

Higher tier bosses gain new abilities and stat changes, following the Fibonacci Sequence (Tiers 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, and 21). This keeps the challenge of higher tier bosses fun, and not feeling monotonous or like a slog to complete.
+
Higher tier bosses will gain new abilities at tiers 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, and 21 (following the Fibonacci sequence), as well as a slight increase to their base stats at each tier. This aims to keep the challenge of higher tier bosses fun, and avoid them feeling monotonous or like a slog to complete.

Rewards include exotic gems, artifacts, achivements and military tier requirements.
+
Defeating bosses will award you with exotic gems, combat experience and maybe even an artifact or two, and can even grant achievements under certain conditions.

Cylindro is a large cylinder who will try to attack you with headbutts and water-storms.
+
Cylindro is a large cylinder who will try to attack you with headbutts and water-storms, which can be dodged by moving to adjacent pillars. Headbutts deal a base of 25% damage while waterstorms deal a base of 50% damage on hit, so try not to get hit too much if you don’t have Idle Nanobots or Hardened Shell.  
  
−
You can dodge his attacks by hopping to adjacent pillars.
+
Cylindrio will spin 4 times before performing an attack, alternating between clockwise and counter-clockwise. '''Cylindrio spins significantly faster as his health gets low''', reducing the amount of downtime between his attacks and forcing the player to dodge more often.
  
−
To damage cylindro you need to fire missiles, this will cost energy.
+
To damage Cylindro you need to fire missiles at him, which will cost energy. (No energy = no missiles)
 +
You cannot fire missiles while moving between pillars unless you have Epic Gyroscope equipped. However, even without it you will still fire a single missile on jumping to a new platform if the fire button is held while moving due to you shooting during the single frame you are on the pillar.  
  
−
Energy orbs spawn randomly on pillars, use these to restore energy.
+
Green powerups will spawn periodically on random pillars and will restore energy when picked up.
  
−
VERIFY : remove that part to verify
+
====Boss Abilities====
−
If you hit cylindro before his first spin, he will do a headbutt.
+
*Tier 2: Cylindro's slam will turn the focused pillar red which will make the tower jump more slowly on and off of it.
−
 
+
*Tier 3: Cylindro will sometimes spin rapidly before summoning damaging geysers on every pillar in the arena except for 2 of them. The 2 safe pillars will be highlighted in green and will always appear on opposite sides of the map to one another.
−
If you hit cylindro before his second spin, he will do a water storm. (1 side)
+
*Tier 5: Sometimes after a slam, Cylindro will spin around the stage, damaging you if you touch him. He also makes all three slammed pillars red when headbutting them instead of just one.
−
 
+
*Tier 8: Cylindro will occasionally spawn a geyser on a random pillar which will erupt after some time and damage the tower if they are on it.  
−
If you dont hit cylindro or attack him after his second spin or hit him during the spin, he will do a water storm. (2 side)
+
*Tier 13: Cylindro will gain an invincible shield that spins around him and blocks projectiles. He gains extra shields at tiers 20 and 30, at which point the 3 shields combined will cover the vase majority of his body.
 +
*Tier 21: Cylindro's wave cannon attacks become much more chaotic.

 +
====Fight Description====
 +
The fight with Cubos Jr. takes place in a large, 7x7 arena made of 49 squares. The game progresses each beat in time with the music, meaning Cubos Jr. and the tower can only move or perform an action on the beat. Cubos Jr. will move erratically, sometimes chasing the player and sometimes running around in the same area of the battlefield for a while.
 +
 
 +
The tower can attack Cubos Jr. by dropping bombs. The tower can only have 1 bomb on field at a time (unless Micro Bombs is equipped), and bombs explode in the 5 orthogonally adjacent tiles (increased to all 9 adjacent squares with Scattering) after 3 beats. Only 1 bomb can exist on each tile, and you can only drop 1 bomb per move.
  
−
*'''Health bonus:''' Increases tower's maximum health
+
Cubos Jr. has 2 initial attacks: an earth shockwave that hits all 9 adjacent tiles and a fire attack that hits all tiles in the 4 orthogonal directions (up, down, left & right). All of his attacks (including ones gained at higher tiers) have a delay of 4 beats before occurring, giving the player time to get out of the way.
−
*'''Two bombs upgrade:''' Allows the tower to put out two bombs at the same time
+
Cubos Jr. will occasionally ignite himself and leave a trail of fire that damages the tower if they walk into it. You '''will''' take damage from colliding with Cubos Jr., so ramming facefirst into the boss is highly unadvised and will usually end in the tower’s untimely death unless you are using Healthy Bombs and can outheal Cubos Jr.’s damage.
−
*'''Explosion diagonal:''' The bombs explosion will also spread into its diagonal position instead of its side only
 
  
 +
====Boss Abilities====
 +
*Tier 2: Cubos Jr. can now use a diagonal fire attack.
 +
*Tier 3: Cubos Jr. can fly directly above the middle of the board before creating a ring of fire around the outer edge of the board which will damage the tower if they enter it for a while until it dissipates.
 +
*Tier 5: Cubos Jr. gains a dash attack where he digs down and travels 4 squared in any direction (will not go out of bounds) before resurfacing, damaging the tower if Cubos Jr. travels through it. Attack will leave a fiery trail if Cubos Jr was ablaze during the attack.
 +
*Tier 8: Cubos Jr. will now combine his orthogonal and diagonal fire attacks and use both at the same time.
 +
*Tier 13: Creates a lava crack at the center of Cubos Jr.'s earth attacks. The crack can be cleared by attacking it with a bomb, but if the crack was not cleared after 30 turns it turns into a pile of lava, no longer removable, last until the end of the fight, and can damage the tower if the tower steps on it.
 +
*Tier 21: Cubos Jr. will rapidly jump, creating a row of fire that travels the span of the arena, alternating from right-left to left-right every column.

The Statue of Cubos is a building you use to fight bosses.

Building Tiers

Upgrading the Statue of Cubos in the Construction Firm will unlock more upgrades per boss, and each upgrade on tiers 2+ needs the upgrade bought on the lower tier to buy it. (Note: Upgrades will be replaced with boss modules with the upcoming reworks.)

Bosses are unlocked by upgrading military tiers.

Bosses

Boss fights are unique fights that each play very differently than the core game loop. Each one is based on a different game genre and contains different game mechanics.

The boss menu select screen is to the left, where upon clicking the screen opens the boss selection menu. On the bottom next to the fight button are arrows to increase the tier of boss you wish to fight. Click to go up by 1 tier, or shift-click to go up by 100 (or to your highest tier if lower than 100).

The first 4 bosses have a set of boss modules you can use in the fight to greatly increase your power, unlocked by acquiring all the linked modules listed next to them. These give certain abilities to the Tower that increase in power with their tier (upgraded using Statue resources) and combat experience (obtained by killing the respective boss with it equipped). Currently, Cylindro, Cubos Jr and Dodecai all have been reworked, but Pyramidas has yet to receive an official rework as of now. The final boss will not have boss modules, and will instead get a hardmode for those that want the challenge.

Higher tier bosses will gain new abilities at tiers 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, and 21 (following the Fibonacci sequence), as well as a slight increase to their base stats at each tier. This aims to keep the challenge of higher tier bosses fun, and avoid them feeling monotonous or like a slog to complete.

Defeating bosses will award you with exotic gems, combat experience and maybe even an artifact or two, and can even grant achievements under certain conditions.

A helpful tool for quickly calculating boss xp gain can be found here. calculator

Cylindro

Info

"With the power to control the wind and water, Cylindro unleashes his rage onto his enemies in forms of large waterstorms. Sometimes he just tires to crush them with his entire body."

For first defeat on each tier, you will be rewarded with 10*Tier exotic gems and 15 * (tier-1)2 + 6 combat experience (all defeats).

Controls

  • Movement: Left/Right or A/D

Fight Description

Cylindro is a large cylinder who will try to attack you with headbutts and water-storms, which can be dodged by moving to adjacent pillars. Headbutts deal a base of 25% damage while waterstorms deal a base of 50% damage on hit, so try not to get hit too much if you don’t have Idle Nanobots or Hardened Shell.

Cylindrio will spin 4 times before performing an attack, alternating between clockwise and counter-clockwise. Cylindrio spins significantly faster as his health gets low, reducing the amount of downtime between his attacks and forcing the player to dodge more often.

To damage Cylindro you need to fire missiles at him, which will cost energy. (No energy = no missiles) You cannot fire missiles while moving between pillars unless you have Epic Gyroscope equipped. However, even without it you will still fire a single missile on jumping to a new platform if the fire button is held while moving due to you shooting during the single frame you are on the pillar.

Green powerups will spawn periodically on random pillars and will restore energy when picked up.

Boss Abilities

  • Tier 2: Cylindro's slam will turn the focused pillar red which will make the tower jump more slowly on and off of it.
  • Tier 3: Cylindro will sometimes spin rapidly before summoning damaging geysers on every pillar in the arena except for 2 of them. The 2 safe pillars will be highlighted in green and will always appear on opposite sides of the map to one another.
  • Tier 5: Sometimes after a slam, Cylindro will spin around the stage, damaging you if you touch him. He also makes all three slammed pillars red when headbutting them instead of just one.
  • Tier 8: Cylindro will occasionally spawn a geyser on a random pillar which will erupt after some time and damage the tower if they are on it.
  • Tier 13: Cylindro will gain an invincible shield that spins around him and blocks projectiles. He gains extra shields at tiers 20 and 30, at which point the 3 shields combined will cover the vase majority of his body.
  • Tier 21: Cylindro's wave cannon attacks become much more chaotic.

Boss Module Linked Modules Description Formula
Scattering
  • Combustion
  • Fire Focus
  • Earth Focus
 Makes bombs explode on diagonal tiles (instead of just orthogonal), but decreases bomb damage. Bomb damage penalty decreases with combat experience and module tier. 0.5 + T/396 + 0.25 * (1 - 0.9^xp^0.2)
Perfect Rhythm
  • Super Tower
 Removes beat tolerance (you can input actions at any time) and allows queuing of up to 4 actions. Cannot be upgraded and is unaffected by combat experience.

Be warned that you cannot cancel queued actions in any way whatsoever, which can oftentimes result in you walking headfirst into Cubos Jr or his attacks when queueing multiple actions consecutively.

N/A
Nuclear Enhancement
  • Advanced Splash
  • Super Multishot
  • Solar Strike
 Increase bomb damage but allows bombs to damage the tower if in range of the explosion. Damage bonus increases based on combat experience and module tier. 1.05 + T/1980 * 19 + 2 * (1 - 0.9^xp^0.2)
Healthy Bombs
  • Adaptive Regeneration
  • Phasing
  • Recharge
 Allows bomb explosions to heal the tower if hit by the explosion by a fraction of the damage dealt. Heal % amount increases based on combat experience and module tier.
If combined with Nuclear Enhancement, the self damage will be applied before the heal from Healthy Bombs, so you may end up killing yourself with your bombs even with a heal factor of above 100% if your bomb damage exceeds your maximum health. 		5 + T * 5/9 + 80 * (1 - 0.9^xp^0.25)
Soundproofing
  • Diamond Foundation
  • Generic Armor
  • Advanced Shield
 Increase tower maximum health and damage resistance based on combat experience and module tier. Health: 1 + 19 * T/99 + 20 * (1 - 0.9^xp^0.25)

Micro Bombs
  • Mjölnir
  • Desperado
  • Emergency Crit

Damage: 0.5 + T/396 + 0.25 * (1 - 0.9^xp^0.2)
Focused Detonation
  • Gravitational Impact
  • Shockwave
  • Molten Core
 Increases bomb damage at the exact center of the explosion (the enemy must be on top of the bomb as it goes off). Bomb damage bonus increases based on combat experience and module tier. 1.25 + T/79.2 + 0.5 * (1 - 0.9^xp^0.25)

Fight Description

The fight with Cubos Jr. takes place in a large, 7x7 arena made of 49 squares. The game progresses each beat in time with the music, meaning Cubos Jr. and the tower can only move or perform an action on the beat. Cubos Jr. will move erratically, sometimes chasing the player and sometimes running around in the same area of the battlefield for a while.

The tower can attack Cubos Jr. by dropping bombs. The tower can only have 1 bomb on field at a time (unless Micro Bombs is equipped), and bombs explode in the 5 orthogonally adjacent tiles (increased to all 9 adjacent squares with Scattering) after 3 beats. Only 1 bomb can exist on each tile, and you can only drop 1 bomb per move.

Cubos Jr. has 2 initial attacks: an earth shockwave that hits all 9 adjacent tiles and a fire attack that hits all tiles in the 4 orthogonal directions (up, down, left & right). All of his attacks (including ones gained at higher tiers) have a delay of 4 beats before occurring, giving the player time to get out of the way. Cubos Jr. will occasionally ignite himself and leave a trail of fire that damages the tower if they walk into it. You will take damage from colliding with Cubos Jr., so ramming facefirst into the boss is highly unadvised and will usually end in the tower’s untimely death unless you are using Healthy Bombs and can outheal Cubos Jr.’s damage.

Boss Abilities

  • Tier 2: Cubos Jr. can now use a diagonal fire attack.
  • Tier 3: Cubos Jr. can fly directly above the middle of the board before creating a ring of fire around the outer edge of the board which will damage the tower if they enter it for a while until it dissipates.
  • Tier 5: Cubos Jr. gains a dash attack where he digs down and travels 4 squared in any direction (will not go out of bounds) before resurfacing, damaging the tower if Cubos Jr. travels through it. Attack will leave a fiery trail if Cubos Jr was ablaze during the attack.
  • Tier 8: Cubos Jr. will now combine his orthogonal and diagonal fire attacks and use both at the same time.
  • Tier 13: Creates a lava crack at the center of Cubos Jr.'s earth attacks. The crack can be cleared by attacking it with a bomb, but if the crack was not cleared after 30 turns it turns into a pile of lava, no longer removable, last until the end of the fight, and can damage the tower if the tower steps on it.
  • Tier 21: Cubos Jr. will rapidly jump, creating a row of fire that travels the span of the arena, alternating from right-left to left-right every column.
SPOILER ALERT - Secret achivements and artifacts

Artifacts

  • Cubos Cube: 100% chance to drop on victory.
  • Incendiary Device: 15% chance to drop on victory. +15% chance each victory.

Achievements

  • Not A Scratch: Defeat Cubos Jr. without taking any damage.

Dodecai

Info

"Banished in a realm between light and darkness, Dodecai likes to play strategic games. Don't be fooled by the puppets you are allowed to summon in this challenge, they are mere empty hulls of their former selves. Seriously, why are they moving like that?"

For first defeat on each tier, you will be rewarded with 100*tier exotic gems and 10+20*(tier-1)^2 combat experience (all defeats).

You casts different spells to buff yourself, weaken boss, or hurt the boss. each spell requires a series of inputs from the arrow keys, and energy. Thorus has 5 moves it can do, a neutral attack where he shoots projectiles that deal the same amount of damage as it takes energy to kill them, a universal attack that deals 4x damage and you have a chance to miss the projectiles, an attack where he steals your health energy and shield, an attack where he makes a bubble appear that blurs a part of the screen, or set gravity to normal, and a tier-up attack where he goes up by a tier and deals 2x damage. Dr. Cubical drops you different attribute buffs during the fight for shield, hp, and energy. t1 is a flat bonus, t2 makes t1, t3 makes t2, and so on, until t8. you press/hold different keys on your keyboard to obtain these.

Fight Overview

Your tower can be constructed of all modules that you have. There are 9 types of tower rankings you can get at the end of the fight, empty (equip 0 modules), aggressive (have more offensive (red) modules than any other type), defensive (have more defensive (blue) modules than any other type), useful (have more utility (yellow) modules than any other type), ultimate (have more ultimate (purple) modules than any other type), weird (have more special (gray) modules than any other type), balanced (have two types of modules with the same number of modules), nice (have 69 modules in your tower), and perfect (spoiler). Many buildings of the town get "super upgrades" that allow them to help the tower get far better and deal more damage. The factory producers rainbow producers based on how many producers you have, rainbow producers multiply the resources you get every second by an amount. The mine produces rainbow shards based on how deep you have dug, these shards multiply the rainbow producer income. The laboratory uses your experiment progress to multiply damage gained by damage modules. The museum uses your power stone tiers to create a higher tier rainbow tier which multiplies damage like the lab. The shipyard multiplies resources based on sea miles and shipments. The power plant produces sun power based on dyson nodes and other producers, sun power speeds up time except for the timer. After the timer ends or you start the final attack you will be taken to a scene where you must charge the attack. You spam keys on the keyboard for one minute to get as much power as possible.
