Gaia Guardian Slayer
Posted: Thu May 11, 2023 7:40 pm
A hex which summons a wisp which uses a non-destructive explosion hex on Botania's Gaia Guardian (and its summoned mobs, when in that phase) once per second.
Works for both the base version and the empowered version, though I have not tested it with more than one player present.
I have it configured to consume 50 charged amethyst per cast, which it likely won't have consumed entirely by the time the guardian is dead, but its movement is kinda wonky and the hex's phase detection is imperfect, so I included extra for some margin of error.
It's best to have your arena built such that the blocks powering the beacon are flush with the ground, so that you can place blocks above and below the pylons so that nothing ends up in their space and risks interfering with the explosion safety functions.
Your Greater Sentinel's ambit must cover the arena, in order to make sure the wisp can always target the guardian and its summons. It's possible to do this by binding the wisp instead, but that's unreliable in the current version of Hexal (0.2.14).
Wisp can safely be summoned anywhere in the arena, AFAIK.
I'm pretty sure there is zero need to use blast-resistant blocks, I just built the arena that way to be safe when developing the hex.
