False Son Boss Tweaks

A mod that tweaks the False Son fight, and has various changes. Changes include:

• Tweaks to Eclipse difficulty False Son fight, to make it more fair (longer laser/skill steal attack cooldown)
• Adds a small delay between the False Son dash and slam, to give you a bit more time to dodge it
• Slowing down the False Son during phase 2 laser.
• Reducing the number of Golems during phase 2 to a maximum of 4 golems, and making them unable to become elite.
• Smaller credit amount for the Prime Meridian stage (450 -> 320)

Todo

• Make each change configurable

1.0.6

• Fixed one of the configurations mentioning Shrine of Shaping when it was actually about the dash to slam time.

1.0.5

• Made all changes to the mod configurable.
• Changed default dash to slam time from 0.75s to 0.4s (last time it will be changed since its configurable now)
• Reduced the cooldown increase for Eclipse 7 changes from 2x to 1.5x (basically, it's now 25% cooldown decrease on eclipse 7, rather than no cooldown increase, as it negated eclipse 7 a bit too much.)
• Elite golems will now appear on the fight if you have looped at least once, by default. They will not appear pre loop.

1.0.4

• Changed the time from dash to slam windup from 0.35s to 0.75s.
• (Hopefully?) fixed an issue where the false son would still spawn elite golems at times.
• Changed the phase 2 combat director to spawn 4 golems, up from 3 changed in 1.0.2. (Feels a bit closer to the original fight, and knocking away elite golems helps well enough.)

1.0.3

• Fixed yet another issue with the phase 2 laser cooldown (can you tell I hate this skill yet)

1.0.2

• Fixed an issue where the phase 2 laser cooldown wasn't being reduced properly in Eclipse 7.
• Changed the Phase 2 Combat Director to only spawn a maximum of 3 golems, rather than 5.
• Changed the Phase 2 Combat Director to only spawn normal golems, rather than sometimes spawning elites.

1.0.1

• Fixed an issue where the cooldown for laser and skill disable skills weren't being reduced properly
• Fixed an issue where Stone Golem lasers would have double the cooldown on eclipse 7 (oops)
• Potentially fixed some multiplayer related issues (I hope)
• Removed the length reduction for False Son dash on Eclipse 4 or higher (wasn't working properly anyways lol)
• Added a new way to nerf the dash a bit, False Son will now stall for 0.5 seconds, then properly do a windup before slamming, rather than insta slamming. This feels a lot nicer in practice than the vanilla slam, while still being very threatening.

1.0.0

• First release of renamed FalseSonFairLaser
• Changed False Son from being completely stopped and gaining 2000 armor, to instead being heavily slowed during the phase 2 laser.
• Changed Phase 3 to be unaffected by this mod (it's not really needed cause of the small arena, and it kinda trivializes the entire 3rd phase)
• Changed False Son's Laser and Ability Steal skill cooldowns to be doubled in Eclipse 7 or higher. (This is to prevent him spamming these abilities in Eclipse 7 or higher, which just sucks to play against)
• Changed the combat director credits of Prime Meridian to be 320, down from 450 (for reference, sky meadows has 230 credits.) (Inspired by Nuxlar's meridian changes, thanks Nuxlar)
• Reduced how far the False Son dash goes in Eclipse 4 or higher.
