Metal Maw

Role: Defensive Ranged Artillery

Description:
     Metal Maw fills the niche of a defensive ranged artillery boss and summoner. Most of his attacks cover a fairly large area and can be cast at very long range. Since Metal Maw is relatively weak at close range, he summons swarms of mobile asura to keep enemies off him. In addition, whenever allied generators are attacked and Metal Maw is in his home base, he periodically unleashes a plasma barrage at the enemies attacking the generator.

Ability Breakdown

• Plasma Flowers

     Metal Maw shoots a barrage of plasma bolts into the air, which then rain down near 5 random enemies consecutively, dealing damage in the area around them (multiple circle telegraphs). If enemies are attacking Metal Maw's base generators while he is in his home base, he uses this to attack them even if they are outside his normal range.

• Reckless Bombardment
  

     Metal Maw fires the jet thrusters on his legs to fly high into the air. After a brief delay, he launches a barrage of missiles at enemy targets on the ground. Once the barrage is finished, Metal Maw crashes to the ground, damaging and knocking down any enemies caught in the area. The crash temporarily disorients him, and he takes a few seconds to recover.

• Prism Ray
  

     Metal Maw shoots his laser cannon at a target enemy, dealing damage in 6 lines radiating from the center point. This leaves burning fire on the ground, which deals damage over time to enemies who stand in it.

• Shed Symbiotes

     Metal Maw spews toxic acid, damaging enemies in a cone in front of him. In addition, he summons a group of Symbiotes which chase and attack enemies using leap attacks, cripples, and progressive melee combos. The Symbiotes expire after 90 seconds.
