The Cobalt
The Cobalt is the final boss, the boss of Zone 3. The Cobalt is 11 tiles wide, with 45 hull and 15 shield. The Cobalt is completely identical on all four difficulties. Starting from the middle ship part and going outwards, The Cobalt is comprised of a middle cannon which deals the most damage and is weak, then two armored, concussable cannons, then two empty scaffolds, two missile bays, two more cannons, and then two wings which also fire like cannons.
Attacks
The Cobalt cycles between three attacks, pictured below. The attacks are the same on all difficulties.
Turn 1 attack:
Turn 2 attack:
Turn 3 attack:
The cards The Cobalt gives the player on its turn 2 attack is Trash.
After turn 3, the attack cycle repeats.
Evasion
The Cobalt moves 3 tiles in the same direction every turn. It either moves 3 tiles in the direction of the center of the player's ship, or if the player is perfectly adjacent to The Cobalt, it moves 3 tiles to the right. The Cobalt never squares up, which means high evasion by the player is an excellent strategy in this fight.
