Barrier Change Boss: Difference between revisions

** The regular [[Final Boss]] for ''[[Digital Devil Saga]] 1'' is actually resistant to ''everything.'' She's surrounded by six different orbs, each of which causes her to be impervious to a different element (and one for physical attacks.) You need to strike down the orbs to even start hurting her, but she automatically restores one for free ''every turn.'' If you don't have something that does Almighty damage to wipe out all the orbs at once, you're looking at an uphill battle.

* In the first ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'', Ursula shuffles her weakness, but the mechanism is different. It's actually her ''cauldron'' that has the weaknesses. The color of its contents determines its element: attacking the cauldron with its opposing element will result in it stunning Ursula.

* ''[[Mega Man Battle Network]] 6'' has Elementman.EXE, who changes his element after every attack.

=== Shoot'Em Up ===

* [[MARDEK]] has the [[Bonus Boss]] [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|Annihilator:Karnos]], which occasionally switches to a random new element. [[Power Copying|Legion's]] Gemsplosion attack will ''always'' trigger this.

** The [[Silicon-Based Life|Master Stone]] switches elements ''every turn'', in addition to its normal attacks. The best way to deal with the Stone is to [[Anti-Magic|curse]] it, which not only locks it in its current form but also limits it to a relatively weak physical attack.

* The Tyrant Dragon from ''[[Breath of Fire]] 4'' switches between earth, wind, and water every turn.

* In ''[[Mega Man X Command Mission]]'', Incentas had the ability to rotate his element. And his head.
