Final Fantasy IV Boss Monsters:

Mom Bomb

Level 2 Boss Monster

History: This monster mother in game would explode, dealing damage to the whole party and turned into a bunch of individual bombs that needed to be dealt with. In game, the Mom Bomb will explode out little bomblets that do individual attacks. As long as any bomblets are on the board, the Mom Bomb cannot be killed.

Elemental Affinity:

Absorb:

Strong: None
Neutral:
Weak:

Each turn Mom Bomb generates 2 AP and 1 MP.

Make Bombs (passive)
Consumes 4 AP. Randomly place 3 3-turn Mom Bomb CD tiles on basic tiles. When the CD reaches 0, deal 1/8th of Mom Bomb's current HP in damage to Mom Bomb and the enemy party and randomly place 3 Bomblet Tiles on the surrounding tiles.

Bomblets (passive)
At the start of each turn, deal X damage to a random enemy for each Bomblet tile in play. As long as there are any friendly Bomblet tiles in play, Mom Bomb's HP cannot be reduced below 1. If Mom Bomb would take lethal damage while a Bomblet tile is in play, destroy a Bomblet tile instead.

Self Destruct (passive)
If there are more than 3 Bomblet tiles in play at the start of turn: Consume 8 MP and turn 3 random Bomblet tiles into 3-turn Self Destruct CD tiles. If the CD reaches 0, deal X damage to all enemies.

Baigan

Level 2 Boss Monster

History: This monster pretended to be your friend, until Palom and Porem suspected he wasn't. Then he turned into a monster. In game, Baigan's Left Arm and Right Arm were separate enemies to be defeated. If defeated, Baigan would bring them back to life. If they weren't destroyed at the end of the battle, they self-destructed on the party. Further, Baigan himself would respond to magic by casting reflect on himself, making his weaknesses difficult to exploit.

Baigan is represented in this game with two tiles that Baigan can regenerate with AP. The Left Arm will stun party members. The Right Arm will syphon HP and MP from party members. Baigan will do simple attacks and counter magic with wall.

Elemental Affinity:

Absorb: None Strong:

Neutral:
Weak:

Each turn Baigan generates 2 AP and 1 MP.

Baigan's Will (passive)
Consume 3 AP to place a 1-turn Baigan's Will CD tile on a random tile. When the CD reaches 0, deal X damage. If Baigan is downed, destroy all Left Arm tiles in play and deal Y damage for each and destroy all Right Arm tiles in play and deal Y damage for each.

Arming (passive)
At the start of battle, randomly place a Left Arm tile and a Right Arm tile. At the start of your turn, if there are any Left Arm tiles in play, stun a random enemy for 1-turn and if there are any Right Arm tiles in play, absorb X health and 2 MP from a random character.

Defensive Action (passive)
At the start of the turn, if there are no Right Arm tiles on the board or there are no Left arms on the board, consume 5 MP and 1 AP, neutralize all Right Arm and Left Arm tiles on the board, and randomly place a Left Arm tile and a Right Arm tile. If Baigan is damaged by a spell, Baigan gains 4-turn [Reflect].

Cagnazzo

Level 3 Boss Monster

History: Cagnazzo builds up water and then unleashes his nuke: Big Wave. However, the waters will recede if he is struck with his elemental weakness. And since hitting enemies with their elemental weaknesses is pretty much the bread and butter of JRPGs, people very naturally found Cagnazzo pretty easy. When he wasn't gathering water, he was casting sleep, slow, or attacking. When he got low on health, he would hide in his shell to regenerate.

In this game, I have decided to keep his nuke and vulnerability intact. Cagnazzo will unleash CD tiles that will deal huge damage to your party, unless you hit him with lightning magic. So... I guess do that. When Cagnazzo has taken enough damage, he retreats into his shell to heal, losing his lightning elemental weakness and gaining ice weakness. He will stay in his shell until he regains enough health, so you need to hit him hard enough to do more damage than he heals.

Elemental Affinity:

Absorb:

Strong:
Neutral:
Weak:

Each turn Cagnazzo generates 2 AP and 2 MP.

Gathering Water (passive)
If there is no Gathering Water or Cagnazzo's Shell tiles in play, consume 3 AP to randomly place a 2-turn Gathering Water tile on a basic tile of any color. When the CD reaches 0, deal X damage to all enemies and inflict them with 10-turn [Countdown] status. If Cagnazzo is dealt magic damage, neutralize a Gathering Water tile.

Cagnazzo's Gambit (passive)
At the start of Cagnazzo's turn, if there is no Cagnazzo's Shell tile on the board, consume 3 MP to randomly do one of the following: (a) 1-turn CD Slowga; (b) 2-turn [Sleep] on each member of the enemy party (35% chance each); (c) deal X direct damage to the enemy.

Cagnazzo's Shell (passive)
At the start of the turn, if Cagnazzo has less than 40% of his maximum health and there is no Cagnazzo's Shell tile on the board, place a Cagnazzo's Shell tile in one of the 4 corners of the board. While a Cagnazzo's Shell tile is in play, Cagnazzo is strong against , weak against , and has [Protect] status. At the start of the turn if Cagnazzo has greater than 75% health, neutralize all Cagnazzo's Shell tiles; otherwise, Cagnazzo regains 7% of his max health and loses 1 AP and 1 MP.

Dark Elf

Level 3 Boss Monster

History: This is where Edward the Bard really showed his value... playing music so that you could equip metal when fighting the Dark Elf. When the Dark Elf was defeated, his true form would emerge, reborn as the Dark Dragon. Both are weak against Fire and Holy attacks, so there's lots of good damage options. Both are also susceptible to silence, poison, and slow.

In this game, we are going to skip the part where the party gets nuked and Edward's music saves the day. However, we kept the part about Dark Elf transforming into the Dark Dragon. That makes this two battles in one, with no chance to respec your party between battles. Fortunately, this time, the same party that would be effective against the Dark Dragon will have been effective against the Dark Elf. However, I promise to design some battles where that won't be the case. Love you.

Elemental Affinity:

Each turn Dark Elf generates 2 AP and 2 MP.

Elf Magic (passive)
Consume 3 AP and 1 MP to place 3 2-turn Elf Magic tiles on random and basic tiles. When the CD reaches 0, casts a level 3 Black spell of the same element as the CD tile against a random enemy. Can be slowed.

Dark Elf Attack (passive)
Each turn, deal X damage to a random enemy and steal 2 AP and 1 MP.

Dark Transformation (passive)
If Dark Elf is downed or if at the start of the turn Dark Elf has less than 20% of maximum health, neutralize all Elf Magic tiles and transform Dark Elf into a Dark Dragon of the same level with full health and MP equal to the MP total Dark Elf had.

Dragon Status(passive)
If the Dark Dragon has at least 5 MP and receives damage greater than 5% of his current HP, consume 5 MP to heal all negative status effects and gain 2-turn [Protect] and [Shell].

The Magus Sisters

Level 4 Boss Monsters

History: Sandy, Cindy, and Mindy. Until you figured out how to beat them, they were the toughest enemy in the game, because you couldn't just blindly deal damage until they were dead: there was a method to this battle. Once you figured it out, the battle was a joke. Sandy acts first and always casts reflect on Cindy. Cindy then orders Mindy to cast magic on her, which would then be reflected back on the enemy. If you killed Sandy or Mindy first, Cindy would revive them with full health. Sandy would inflict the party with status ailments when reflect was in place.

While there were many ways of easily defeating the Magus Sisters in the FF IV version, I have removed some of those tricks to make this a more interesting battle.

Enraged by losing her sisters, Sandy grabs her spear and leaps high into the air, determined to cause you the same pain you caused her. At the start of the turn, if both Cindy and Mindy are in your party and are downed or either or both are not in your party, consume 4 AP to gain [Airborne] status for 2-turns. Upon landing, deal X damage to the enemy with the lowest current health and Sandy gains 1-turn [Stun] status.

I've let this go for awhile, so added a couple more FFIV bosses. I'll try and be more diligent at completing this project.
