Problem with new crab king changes and a quick fix

[Reiko24]

Crab King taunts so long... After you sleep his minions using Pan Flute, you can just deal thousands of damage for free. 

 

Crab King and his minions should be a lunar-based entity, right? Gestalts sleep stuff, same as Grazers, I think Crab King's minions should be immune to sleeping.

If they are immune to sleeping, the taunt duration is justified. It gives you time to fight them before he starts healing. During the taunt, 

Also, his shooting towers should have a higher accuracy.

 

I have a feeling that right now, he is easier than before, which shouldn't have been the case.

If Crabs immune to sleep it will be too hard for 1.0 characters, when you dealing with crabs, CK itself can heal 1000+, which takes 20 hits for Wilson with hambat.

But I do think taunt should be able to cast again once during the iceland part, and wake little crabs up.

Plus, not all lunar side creatures are immune to sleeping, such as Saladmander and Shattered Spider and more

CK is surely too easy now and it needs better drops when having several Iridescent Gems

But Crab King's power comes from the Celestial Tribute. It's not a normal lunar mutation.

maybe... then there should be weak points in the ice floor that you can use to drown the crabs after you mine it? what do you think

Yes, so itself can't sleep, but his minion, it's secondary unit, so not as powerful as he is. Actually most lunar side creatures can sleep, except three mutation bosses(because they actually dead and controled by Brightshade Gestalt), lunar frogs(maybe because they directly from the moon?), Grazer and Greater Gestalt(they look like total energy form creature), and Celestial Champion.

In my opinion ranged weapon should can be used to it even the ice barriar is there, so we can freeze it and deal with the little crabs, or use weather pain to prevent him from healing.

It can't? I was under the impression that it can. Weird decision if it cannot.

At least it can't in last version, when he with all ice barrier he is not able to attack by any method. (haven't test in this version, but the update log didn't mention it so I think it still can't)

Since he is not all-covered by ice barrier so I think ranged weapon should able to attack him.

But there are ways like scale armor, wip or fire staffs instead of using OP cheap flutes

Off topic but i think he became insane (enlightement) when he and pearl moved to her island because the craters didnt have her plugs on them yet. He started to hear alter influence and made him look after the tribute in a obsessed treasure hunt
