Talk:Raid Boss

Subspecies and variants

Could we organize this into a table specifying which are the default bosses, and which are their subspecies/event variants?"We're werewolves, not swearwolves." (KrytenKoro) 16:29, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

I'm not sure how this would look like so I tabbed them for the time being. The Purple Gummi Hound uses one attack animation (and replaced the Subspecies) of the Behemoth during the 1st Anniversary event but looks extremly different, the same goes for the Lion Dance Headliner which even became an Emblem. Both the Fierce Queen Bee and its Subspecies only appear during the event, so this is a new development. The different colored Trident Anchors didn't appear during a specific event but during some campaigns and replaced the normal Raid Boss, not the Subspecies. Defining what an event is, is a hard task on its own since they are all very different and Square Enix doesn't use consitent terminology. --ShardofTruth 17:10, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

I'm kinda thinking a three/four column table: Base, Subspecies, and then Base/Subspecies Event replacements, with the Event column listing the events that replace the boss. Do the base Raid Bosses cycle in a coherent order?

Can you describe the events and the Trident Anchor campaign? I'm very confused by this."We're werewolves, not swearwolves." (KrytenKoro) 17:38, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

How's this? TheSilentHero 17:36, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

If I've understood Shard correctly, the Venom Spider is a Subspecies, while the Fierce Queen Bee and Sub are both Event bosses. I'm thinking a full table might be better for keeping the images clearly organized, as well. Overall, though, that's about what I was thinking."We're werewolves, not swearwolves."
