Background

Dungeon Journal

Of all the insane machines developed by the forge’s robotics specialists, none have more of a single-minded objective than the Weapon-O-Matic. With an arsenal of over a dozen tools of war, from swords to lasers to heat-seeking cryobombs, this metallic monstrosity lives up to its name. While the Weapon-O-Matic has yet to be properly tested on true foes, its chance to draw blood for the first time grows near.

Description

Bosses with their own resources are fun, and the Weapon-O-Matic has a resource inspired by General Nazgrim’s that is at the core of its playstyle. The Weapon-O-Matic is a three armed robot that holds three weapons at a time, each with its own abilities. The more times the bot damages players with a weapon’s ability, it gains Weapon Skill with that weapon. If it gets max Weapon Skill, its damage will grow. The Weapon-O-Matic will switch weapons throughout the fight, which makes it easier to manage its Weapon Skill generation. The entire fight is revolved around perfect positioning and group communication in order to minimize the amount of Weapon Skill the boss generates. Each weapon needs to be approached differently and there are multiple possible combinations of weapons, so the boss may take a few tries before the players understand how to approach it.

Abilities

The Weapon-O-Matic has five possible weapons accessible to it, but can only wield three of them at a time, one in each of its three hands with its own unique abilities. In addition to a left and right hand, a back hand also holds a weapon. The weapon wielded in the back hand gains an additional ability. The Weapon-O-Matic's starting arsenal is different every lockout period.
