the ultimate snowball fight champion...
Snowfella is a boss that is only encountered in Michael Barrel. He serves as the main antagonist alongside Wintiachael and Gauss.
Background[]
Snowfella will target the player immediately ahead of him, however he will wait ~1 second before beginning to chase the players. Snowfella will begin to chase the players and attempt to hit them with his heavy hitting nun-chuck. Most of Snowfella's attacks are capable of downing a player in two hits, even whilst running the Juggernog perk. Snowfella naturally walks faster than the player, but this can be countered with Stamin-Up and slide cancelling. He is a much bigger challenge over the previous boss, Panzer Michael.
Michael Barrel: Bossfight[]
Snowfella is a boss that consists of two stages in order to defeat.
Prior to belief, Snowfella is not intended to be an easy fight. As with the rest of Michael Barrel, it is designed to be a challenge for even the most experienced players.
Snowfella can do the following attacks to any player:
- Snowball Throw: Snowfella will throw a snowball towards the player he is targetting. The lower health he is, the more snowballs he will throw, up to 4.
- Nun-chuck swing: Snowfella will swing his weapon at a player, dealing heavy damage if it hits and knock the player back into a fair distance.
- Nun-chuck Slam: Snowfella will spin his weapon in the air before slamming it in front of him, instantly down any player without juggernog, otherwise, will send the player mid-air.
- Snowball Artillery: Multiple lock-on snowballs that will appear as a warning triangle around all players. Snowfella is immobile and can be constantly hit if the player can time their movements correctly,
- Slam: Snowfella will rise up in the air and fall back down, dealing a large shockwave and throwing players in the air. Players can stand on the snow piles or jump over the shockwave to avoid damage.
- [PHASE 2 | WINTIACHAEL] Immunity shields that force the players to destroy the Michael statues in order to continue dealing damage.
- [PHASE 2 | WINTIACHAEL] Snowfella will be able to regenerate his shield and HP meter from the Michael statues that spawn around the arena during the fight.
As of right now, the HP figures for Snowfella have not been calculated yet.
Snowfella will reward the players with the Pack-A-Punch machine once defeated.
Strategies[]
Snowfella can pose a really big threat to inexperienced players or those who come unequipped for the fight.
General Strategies[]
- Do not get too close. He will swing his weapon unexpectedly and may get you killed.
- Make sure to run around in a single direction during his attacks.
- Watch out for his snowballs! The Ray Gun or any Shotgun is capable of taking them out quickly.
Phase 2 Strategies[]
- Make sure to buy the Frying Pan. Parrying Wintiachaels attacks can deal a lot of damage back to Snowfella.
- Watch out for the difference in the two laser eyes and the singular laser.
- Have one person be dedicated to shooting the Michael statues. Using a Shotgun or a weapon such as an upgraded Walther P99 can do the job.
Trivia[]
- Snowfella is often compared to the Ice Golem from Clash of Clans due to their similar physique.
- You can hear Snowfella snoring before Michael Barrel loads in.
- Snowfella can get stuck above the map during his second phase. The developers are aware and are working to fix it for ALPHA 1.6.3.
- Snowfella is shown to have an ability to perform a roll toward a player in sneak peeks, but it was not made into the game
- Snowfella's attack can damage and kill zombies, use this to your advantage.
- Killed zombies on the arena often spawn Max Ammo powerups, regardless of how they were killed. Having one or two people taking care of the zombies and taking the powerups can negate the need for reloads.
