[Reworked Boss: Tyl Regor, The Butcher]

[FoxFX]

One of the things I found extremely boring is that some bosses are a bit easy to deal with. In addition to that, the majority of players go too trigger happy in ever mission.

 

Tyl Regor, in my opinion, is now just a way too easy boss to deal with. I can understand that he is suppose to be the only Melee-type boss in the Grineer faction, but his arsenal leaves little to impress us Tenno. So, I decided to rework his abilities, and his image.

 

According to the wiki: Tyl Regor is the lead researcher in Grineer geene repair. He was targeted for assassination to stop his research from undoing the Grineer's genetic deterioration. Also, he is now shown to use a Skana as his main melee weapon. Link: http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Tyl_Regor

 

I decided to use those two infos to redo what Tyl Regor can be all about. He is a scientist and a weapon specialist as well. So, we can give Tyl Regor the mad-scientist gimmick a spin with some new twists. Well, just check it out and let me know how this is:

 

 

Lore: As a scientist, Tyl Regor was always looked down by his peers for not being fit to be as battle ready as the other clones he manages. He believed that one day the Tenno would come to hunt him and put an end to discovering the key to deterioration in the Grineer Body.

 

One day, he was forced by Captain Vor to take a squad to the Orokin Chambers in search of a Void artifact that could give him the power to sto the Tenno in their tracks. While journeying the towers, he noticed his Grineer bretheren one by one corrupted by the power of the Neural Sentries. Tyl Regor fought with all he had to get the artifact while surviving in the Towers for months. One day however, he slipped into a secret room of documents and libraries of information. This is where things turn for the better.

 

Tyl Regor managed to escape the Towers using an ancient Orokin Escape Pod. Not only did he find Captain Vor's new Orokin toy, he discovered secrets. Secrets of the Tenno that drove his morale to a highten sense of superiority. He then took his time using the very cloning research to "re-purpose" his mortal coil for his predicted encounter with the Lotus's pets. Captain Vor started to realize the immediate changes in Tyl Regor's demeanor and mind set, to his great concern. When Vor asked what has gone throug his comrade's head, Tyl Regor merely chucked this reply:

 

"My brother, the days I've spent clawing my way out of that death trap you have forced me into, were the best days of my life. The Tenno...I know their secrets. I understand now why those spinless Corpus find such favor in obtaining their power. The Tenno are merelly one key to the Sister's goals. Let the Tenno come for my head; I have a special treat I will personally give to them."

 

Tyl Regor, the Butcher

 

Tyl Regor modified his body for enhanced strength and dexterity in hopes of rivaling that of the Tenno. His new confidence has made him more psycopathic as he will try to cut the Tenno's bodies and use their remains to create new modified Grineer clones.

 

Stats:

 

Cloned Flesh: 3500

Alloy Armor: 50

 

Weapons:

--Lacerator MK II (a hybrid of a chainsaw and an axe said to be extremely difficult for any Grineer to weild in combat due to its weight and inhumane nature)

 

--Modified Machete

 

Abilities:

 

--Disarm Shock: Tyl Regor flashes a bright light in the whole area that prevents Tenno from using their Primary and Secondary Weapons. lasts 30 seconds, and does 300 Electricity damage as well

 

--Armor Reinforce: Gives Tyl Regor 250 Fertile Armor like Rhino's Iron Skill.

 

--Cryo-Bomb: Throws timed-grenades that blasts Cryogenic Gas that will prevent the Tenno from moving for 5 seconds.

 

--Charged-Spinning Strike: Only when weilding Lacerator MK II, he spins slowly like a top with his Lacerator for 10 seconds. He cannot be harmed in this state. Does 500 Slash Damage each hit.

 

--Dive Slash: Tyl Regor's strongest melee attack. He slowly jumps and crashed down with his melee weapon dealing 1500 Slash Damage and 1000 Impact Damage in a line of about 3 meters from impact.

 

--Swipe: With his weapon, he does a single horizontal attack infront of him. Does 800 Slash damage and 400 Impact damage

 

--Stun Recovery: While in a Blast, ragdolled or knocked down state, he can cast this allowing him to recover instantly and slashes his surounding with his weapon for 400 Slash Damage

 

--Pull: He will pull Tenno towards him if too far away. Does no damage, but will render you stunned for 3 seconds upon arriving near him

 

Fighting this Tyl Regor has two stages. During the whole boss fight, Tyl Regor will always be completely alone fo you to fight.

 

First Stage:

 

Tyl Regor weilds his Lacerator MK II at the start of the fight. Right from the bat, he casts Armor Reinforce. While armored, he will come at you to try and attack you with his Lacerator. If you try to attack him from afar, he will instantly cast his Disarm Shock which  will render you unable to use Primary and Secondary weapons even when armored with skills like Iron Skin. Dive Slash can be easily avoided by moving to the right and Swipe, while faster, can be avoided by jumping up. If Tyl Regor's armor from Armor Reinforce skill is gone, he will be stunned for a small duration of 5 seconds allowing you to do whatever damage you can before he uses Armor Reinforce again. He will sometimes drop a Cryo-Bomb all over the area to stop you from moving so he can land a hit.

 

Second Stage:

 

Once he hits 1/2 his Cloned Flesh HP, he throws away his Lacerator and wields his Modified Machete with two hands (He is invulnerable until the animation is complete). He does 1/2 damge in this stage, but he is faster this time and his attacks has higher status chance. His machete has a slighly lower reach compared to the Lacerator. Attacking afar is not a wise decision this time as he can leap farther away and faster with Dive Slash and he replaces his Cryo-Bomb skill with Pull. Also, he activates Stun Recovery within 1 second of being in the knocked down state. In this stage, if you use your melee to colide with his melee attack at the right time, you will automatically remove his Armor Reinforce which will then stun him for you to attack.

 

Possible New Quotes:

 

-" I can understand why the Sentients despised you filth"

-" I shall begin the procedure by removing your legs, Tenno"

-" You sacks of meats will be detrimental to my new cloning project"

-" I guess I overestimated you, Tenno"

-" For the Sisters...I shall dice you"

-" How nice for the Lotus to send primed meat to my table"

I'm not the best artist I admit, but what I was aiming for was to give Tyl Regor that presence of being the "researcher" and melee master that the Wiki described him as.

That chainsaw axe looks to be too beefy to use, even for a grineer., but day um, I like that outfit.

EDIT:

Forgot to +1 your concept.

I may have gone a bit overboard with the axe, but I couldn't scale well. It was suppose to be a bit smaller, but just to show the design.

I like the idea, though some of his abilities seem a little over the top compared to his grineer peers. I do like the idea of his abilities switching after hitting half health. It's a start to his much needed rework.

DE is working from planet to planet reworking bosses and tilesets, Regor will come eventually.
