Legion Rework

[Edan52]

WIP as I still need to add a couple things & a crusher trophy

The values used are not final, I am happy to tweak some of them if deemed appropriate.

I need to test this on higher ping, ideally with someone from NA, ping me on discord if you're happy to test it with me.

What Does This PR Do

Tweaks the legion megafauna quite a bit, making the fight more difficult and more interesting.

Here is what has changed:

• Legion now uses the animated sprite
• It has the same charge as before
• It no longer splits
• The legion now has 1500 health, lower than the other megafauna due to the fact it spawns so many mobs which you have to deal with and can avoid getting hit while you deal with them.
• The sprite gets smaller as the fight goes on
• It summons mini legion skulls each time it gets hit

Death laser: One of the new attacks is a tile wide laser which telegraphs where it will strike before firing, it gives between 1.1 and 0.1 seconds of time before firing based on its health, giving less time to react as it gets lower on health. The laser deals 50-70 burn damage, dealing more damage the lower health the Legion is, this laser fully respects laser armour and has no penetration. The laser deals damage upon firing and will deal damage again when walked into, I may lower the damage it deals if you walk into it. In most cases, you won't make the mistake of walking back into the laser and the initial laser can generally be dodged just by moving diagonally. The laser will dust dead mobs which aren't part of the lavaland faction. It seems scary but is generally not a major threat in the fight, but it can catch you off guard if you aren't moving correctly or are distracted or towards the end of the fight it fires with a tiny warning, this can be very hard to dodge if you aren't moving correctly.

Big legion: I have reworked the big legion and implemented it. With a low percentage change, the legion will create a big legion as an attack, this big legion moves very quickly and instead of meleeing you, slams the ground and shoves any mobs not in the lavaland faction a few tiles out, dealing 40 melee damage with 50% armour penetration. This can shove you into walls and lava. You can generally avoid taking more than 1 or 2 hits if you run in a straight line to avoid it and focus on killing it quickly, jump boots are useful to avoid the ground pounds.

The Legion also summons regular legion mobs with a higher chance than the big legion, they allow the player to acquire legion cores mid fight and generally the player will never be slowed if they play it right.

Why It's Good For The Game

The current fight is lacklustre, and needs to be more interesting. Currently, you can just make a long hallway and kite it. It's not hard, it just takes a long time, this PR is intended to make the fight more interesting and increase the difficulty. Legion should be a force to be reckoned with.
