Combat in the chess puzzle

Add a miniboss or something that you have to fight while walking across those suspended stones. Some of the stones could be thulecite pillars, which don't break when jumped off of. The miniboss would inversely be able to make certain spots unusable with their attack (strangely, it'd probably be better without a melee). I think it'd be very fun and unique ^_^

Yeah I like that - I think maybe when you fight it it should be mechanic based. Like do a thing, it takes boss HP down by a chunk. Less about hold F to fight maybe?

I knew this update was missing something, for what is a DST rift update without another boss added

So not a miniboss by normal standards of get its hp to 0. More like, adding more to the puzzle by adding an opponent?

The idea was that you can attack the boss if you're horizontally or vertically aligned with it, but it doesn't attack with a melee, since that would be a bit annoying. Something like selecting a set of tiles in a pattern to attack after a delay, or to render them hazardous for a few seconds.

The idea you are suggesting is something like turn-based combat, where attacking counts as move, sort of like Void Stranger. That would be pretty fun, I admit, but maybe it's just because I'm biased to that game lol
