| '''The Scorn Barons''' were a fun bunch to go up against. All of their boss fights were unique and accurately indicate their specialties. But there's one thing that didn't sit right with me: I wasn't challenged. They still felt generic in terms of actual combat. So let's go through each of the Barons one by one and see what we can change about them without ruining their whole theme.

| ===Current Gameplay===
| |
| Fikrul engages the player with his signature lightning staff, which fires charged Arc projectiles that can break a Guardian's shield in just a few hits, akin to a Wire Rifle. He will also use his staff to summon large electric circles known as Wrath of the Scorned, which can summon lesser Scorn units; these circles take up a large space and can deal heavy shocking damage over time to anyone that stands within it. Occasionally, whenever his health reaches a certain threshold, Fikrul will surround himself with Void energy to render him immune to all damage shortly before teleporting the player into the air, surrounding himself with a random elemental shield, and tethering them to his staff, dragging them towards him so he can smash the ground to break their shields and knock them back. To keep up his attack, he will teleport towards the player and overwhelm them with high-impact electric staff projectiles. Fikrul's powerful attacks and tether ability make him quite possibly the most dangerous Scorn Baron to engage, for the only safe way to combat him is keeping as much distance between him and oneself as possible.

| ===Goals===
| |
| Fikrul is clearly the one that it most fit to lead the Scorn Barons, and it really shows. He's the most powerful of the bunch, and that's really all he needs to kill us. Now we just need to double down on that power.

| *All the elements at hand.

| *Seriously mess with the player.

| *Show off how diabolical my mind really is.

| *Okay, now look at the proposed changes.
