Kupolovrax is a challenging boss in Project Tower that can really test players’ skills. With its projectile attacks, avoiding damage can be quite tricky, leading to multiple defeats as players try to conquer this formidable foe. However, there are effective strategies outlined in this guide that can help make defeating Kupolovrax a bit more manageable.
Project Tower: Kupolovrax Boss Guide
Phase 1
The battle with Kupolovrax kicks off with the enemy positioned on the platform. Players should keep a safe distance, continuously shoot at it, and employ these tactics to dodge its different attacks.
- Orb Ring Fall: This attack sees Kupolovrax summon a series of orb rings, which fall from the perimeter of the platform to its center. To avoid this attack, players should look up as the rings fall and dodge roll just before an orb hits them.
- Orb Scattershot Fall: This attack is similar to the orb ring fall, though the projectiles assume a scattershot configuration this time around. This configuration is actually easier to avoid than the rings, as fans of third-person shooters can simply look up and strafe around them as they fall. Once again, dodge roll is a good way to avoid an orb that is certain to make contact.
- Orb Line Push: This is, perhaps, the hardest attack to avoid in Phase 1, and it centers around Kupolovrax sending several lines of orbs directly at the player. While it is possible to avoid the orbs simply by strafing left and right into the gaps, players may find it easier to wait for the first line to get close, dodge roll forward, and then immediately dash forward.
- Stomp: Kupolovrax will occasionally stomp and send out a shockwave. Fans of bullet hell games can easily jump over that shockwave, and they can even continue shooting the foe during the maneuver.
Phase 2
When Kupolovrax reaches about 66% health, it will take to the skies. Players who enjoy games with morphing mechanics should keep their distance and keep firing at the enemy while employing these tactics to dodge its projectiles.
- Orb Scattershot Fall: With this attack, Kupolovrax shoots many orbs into the air, which slowly fall to the ground. Due to the slow speed of these orbs, players should be able to avoid them quite easily by keeping an eye on the sky and strafing into the gaps.
- Orb Ring Push: Kupolovrax pushes several rings of orbs forward with this attack, and those rings ultimately close in on the player. To avoid it, fans of indie games should hold their position until just before the orbs are guaranteed to hit them and then dodge roll left or right.
- Orb Line Push: This attack is similar to ther orb line push from Phase 1, and players can once again avoid it by waiting for the first line to get close, dodge rolling forward, and then immediately dashing forward. Fans can also try avoiding the first line with a dodge roll to the left or right and then immediately perform a dash in the opposite direction.
Phase 3
When Kupolovrax’s health drops to roughly 33%, the final phase begins, closely mirroring Phase 2. It’s important to note that the enemy has a new attack that fans of 3D action games should steer clear of as they strive to finish draining its health.
- Modified Orb Ring Push: This move consists of three stages: first, a set of rings that converge on the player, then two rapid ring pushes, and finally, descending orb rings. To evade this attack, players should stay put until the rings are almost upon them, then perform a dodge roll to the left. After that, those who enjoy platforming puzzles should quickly dash to the right to dodge the two swift rings and move forward to steer clear of the falling orbs.
