Halloween is just around the corner and I thought to myself "I wonder what event, if any, would Sea of Thieves be doing to celebrate it?" I know the dev's are hard at work with Forsaken Shores, but I thought it could be awesome to to add Skeleton Witches to fight in the game for an event.
Similar to how bomber skellys were added through an event, I think it would be fun to add magic casting skeleton witches to the game with a Halloween Bilge Rat adventure. These witches would be ranged enemies that cast spells like...
- Fireball: burns players over time
- Frozen Wind: Freezes players for a short period to the ground but they can keep attacking
- Heal: The witch can cast a healing beam to 2 or 3 skellys at a time and be healing them unless you hit her and stop it.
Maybe a fun addition could be that she only spawns down in the caves that have shrines in them? Then it could add life to the caves and also add a small element of suspense. Normal skeletons just pace and patrol randomly, but for the witch when she isn't triggered you could see her performing some sort of ritual as her non-agro animation.
I love this game dearly, but one of the things I wish there was more of was a more diverse set of enemies. From one enemy to the next I want to change up my fighting tactics and keep combat fresh and exciting. Please upvote this if you agree and would love to see a steady increase in enemy types!
