Elite Engineer

The  is a TESTBED boss.

Design
is a large pink hexagonal boss with one turret on each of its flat sides. Atop its body is a large turret.

Technical
All of the boss' Engineer turrets have a similar mechanic to old Hexa-Builder. All of the blocks are fired out radially to equidistant points from the center of the boss. Its top turret has normal mechanics though.

The boss itself most likely autospins.

Spawning
Currently doesn't spawn.

Countering

 * Since the engineer-blocks have azimuthal motion properties, you don't have to worry about 6 blocks flying into you every second, like you would with Cutter (Boss). But the boomboxes can still shred you if you're not careful, so:
 * a distraction is almost mandatory. It doesn't have to be too speedy since the blocks fly out of their turret guns pretty slow, which means you can get some extra side damage done from tanks like Detector and Mayfly. It's most wise for the distraction to circle the boss, occasionally dodging the boombox if it gets too close.
 * But what about for the actual attackers? Aren't they vulnerable because the distraction is making a 360 loop which will always come to their angle of the boss eventually? Well, my friend, you have 2 options from here.
 * Get a few bullet shields like Hexa Blaster. Any tank can effectively hide in it's cloud of bullets and be entirely impervious to the pillboxes and boomboxes. From here, any other tank can attack it with ease.
 * Give it a taste of it's own medicine; Builder blocks are pretty damn strong, so a couple-few Barber s can get this done quickly. You can easily hide behind rocks and attack the Elite as well, since blocks go around rocks, and the distraction is already doing it's job, meaning the Elite can't "uno reverse card" it. If you really wanna take this rock idea into play, you can use Hummel, which uses both swarms and blocks, 2 projectiles that can evade rocks. And of course, Keter Dropship, really any Dropship, some Dirigible s and more can come into play here.

Trivia
