Hero Core: Difference between revisions

* [[Bonus Dungeon]]: The Annihilation mode is one of these.

* [[Bootstrapped Theme]]: "Annihilator Factory".

** [[Anticlimax Boss]]: {{spoiler|Cruiser Tetron}} is actually quite easy compared to some of the other bosses. {{spoiler|The Living Warmachine}} can be, too.

** [[Best Boss Ever]]:

*** The Reaper Drone takes this to its logical extreme.

*** The Grand Mother is this on multiple levels -- it spawns Mothers, which are themselves [[Mook Maker|Mook Makers]]. The Guardian also has statues at the top of his room that come to life after you damage him enough, and the Liquid Metal Processor is a more standard example. Seems like Daniel really likes this trope.

*** The Eliminator. It [[Cowardly Boss|even leaves the entire room after a certain time limit]].

*** The Reaper Drone at some points, especially if you can't kill his mook swarms before he starts moving and becomes lost in the crowd.

* [[Boss Rush]]: With hard-style bosses, as a bonus feature. As of 1.2, a version with (slightly powered-up) normal-mode bosses is possible as well.

* [[Brutal Bonus Level]]: Annihilation.

** Though the Plasma Hydra boss fight has shades of this, it becomes ridiculous in Hard mode.

** Annihilation's final boss fight.

* [[Captain Space, Defender of Earth!]]: Flip Hero.

** The Expel ability. {{spoiler|Applies to the Elite bosses, too. If they try to expel with one hit point, they can't- they only get a question mark over their heads.}}

* [[Chest Blaster]]: The [[Humongous Mecha|Guardian]] has a laser and something which obviously is a [[Iji|MPFB Devastator]] built into its torso.

* [[Stationary Boss]]: {{spoiler|Tetron's final form, which, aside from being awesome, also makes it [[Anticlimax Boss|incredibly easy]].}} Also, Generators and the Plasma Hydra.

* [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything]]: Open the badass savefile in a text editor and it will threaten to erase your data if you try to change anything - [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|IN SONG!]]

* [[Turns Red]]: Inverted with several of the bosses, as Daniel Remar dislikes cheap shots. That is, all bosses that have multiple phases start with the hardest one. {{spoiler|Unless it's the [[That One Boss|Plasma Hydra]].}}

* [[Useless Useful Spell]]: Both the Expel ability and the Blade are pretty much useless in combat. However, both have a specific function in speedrunning, and the Blade can slaughter certain enemies and bosses. {{color|white|Also, Shapeshift is mostly for fun}}
