in my opinion, the bossfight sucks, is unbalanced, unfair, and there are quite a few
TOP REASONS WHY MARIA IS NOT FUN!!!
(I am currently fighting maria on a new profile and that’s why I’m a bit angry lol)

  1. the obvious one. Iframes, there is no reason a boss should have iframes for no reason, I don’t think people understand just how easy she would be if she wasn’t invincible for half the fight. ill will go into detail about how maria could be better later

  2. little to no wind up on her attacks. the plunderers shoot so fast and with such little warning, maria basically gets a free 180 damage just because she feels like it.

  3. she jumps around the arena. again. like all the other bosses. i don’t think there are any bosses who don’t teleport around the arena that arent shura and iris, AND SHURA STILL HAS A TP MOVE!!! THE FIRST BOSS!!!

  4. unnecessary clutter in her arena. i cant count the number of times I’ve gotten caught on the ladder, or some boxes, and died to the tentacles.

and now the reason that this isn’t just me ranting: the rework idea
maria should have iframes all the time instead of just when she feels like it. instead, one you do a decent amount of damage, like around 400 or 500, she is stunned for a very long time, allowing you to get really good damage in while she is stunned, and boom, just like that, there is now a reason for her to have iframes instead of just having them so she doesn’t get dunked on.

i cant really blame vetex that hard, he was depressed at the time, and under a lot of pressure, but even then, there has to be some thought going into a boss fight instead of him just stat boosting the fuck out of them

hard =/= fun

the ship arena is just so dark and hard to see in i often times totally lose sight of her

3

easy if you have range, just takes a while cause of the iframes

4

that being said, the best way to beat a boss shouldnt be to cheese them

wdym cheese

6

standing on top of them boat and hitting her when she is uncovered

7

thats what im assuming you mean

8

how is that cheese, isn’t that intended

9

no? you are supposed to be below deck down with her

10

you can just jump out so easily though, and if you stay below deck you’ll just get hit by all her aoe

11

thats only for when she does the big tentacle move though

12

call me an insane monster but I actually like her having iframes, it kinda sets her apart from the other bosses.

13

The iframes can be pretty annoying, and the arena is pretty small for an agility build. Still. I think Maria’s a decent boss.

14

the player can use the same move

15

it sets her apart, but not in a good way

16

last I checked we don’t have an attack that teleports us directly above our target for a down slash.

weapon/fighting style placed explosion lol.

17

ive been scarred too much to fight her ever since she stopped spamming as much so idk
before that change it was the worst designed boss no doubt

18

I hate her, her stupid iframe, her stupid tentacles, her stupid rush move, her stupid arena.

I want to kill her but I have merciful, I let her live because I was forced to

19

I think Maria should have a bigger boss arena for agility builds and have less AoE or attack speed. I get that blocking and parrying need to be useful but vetex made dodging suck for builds that don’t primarily have agility. Maybe also have iframes all the time except for after she does the tentacle attack. There would be endlag where you could get up to 1000 damage on Maria. The tentacle attack would have to be much less common to make the fight difficult.
