I'm glad I found this post again! Since the forum upgrade I lost it.. and my Search-Fu has been too weak lately.. now I am following!!

I have an idea for one. This particular enemy can be any other type as well (usually combining with a type that makes them harder to kill) but uses one particular trick. It's attacks deal no damage up front and its immortal until it reaches 1hp. Instead, its attacks add a state that "stores" damage (and the player cannot see how much). It also tends to be a high agi enemy with more than one attack (or action) per turn.

When the enemy reaches 1 hp, it deals randomly between 50% and 200% of the damage it has stored in the player's states before it dies.

@Manofdusk

interesting idea, first thing that springs to mind is some kind of electric enemy that builds up a charge until it dies in which then it discharges for some damage.



Description: Each turn this enemy builds up a charge (MP or a Variable) and then discharges damage on death

Spoiler: How to make BATTERY DISCHARGE in RPG Maker MV

Required Scripts: None

in this example we will have the charge restore MP

Create a new state called "Immortal"

make it resist the Knockout State (State 1)

give it no icon

Create a new skill called "Charge"

Have it cost 0 MP to use

have it target the user

make it restore MP

in the damage formula box "50" (change 50 to match your design)

Create a new skill called "Discharge"

Have it cost 0 MP to use

Have it target one enemy

in the damage formula box put "a.removeState(x);Math.randomInt(a.mp) + 1" (Change x to whatever State ID Immortal is)

that will have it deal damage equal to a random amount of of the user's MP and remove the user's immortal.


Create a new enemy called "Battery Discharge"

give it a lot of MP example 2000

give it the skill "Discharge" with a priority of 9 and a hp% of 1% <

give it the skill "Charge" with a priority of 1 and a always condition

Create a new Battle Troop and put the enemy "Battery Discharge" into the troop

Create a new Troop Event with turn condition 0 x 0 + X so it goes off at the start of battle

in the event page have the enemy "Battery Discharge" lose 2000 MP

in the event page inflict the enemy "Battery Discharge" with the state "Immortal"

This thread is too awesome not to bump. ^.^

I guess we should not only revive this thread, but we should find a better way to store all these incredible ideas/tutorials in some sort of document, accessible to all.

Maybe we can sticky this thread?

Dang, I've been looking for a thread that likes to talk about wacky enemy designs! Gotta follow this!

I myself have a ton of enemy ideas but I'll make sure I give an example that hasn't been talked about yet.
