Editing Bosses

{{DISPLAYTITLE:Bosses}}

'''Bosses''' are powerful enemies in '''[[Main Page|Galactic Glitch]]''' that guard key progression points. Defeating bosses grants '''[[Boss Orbs]]''' which are required to advance through [[Boss Orb Level]]s and unlock new content.

== Overview ==

Bosses in Galactic Glitch are divided into two categories:
* '''Big Bosses''' - Major encounters with dedicated arenas and multiple phases
* '''Mini-Bosses (OC)''' - Stronger enemies that appear in regular levels (marked as "OC" = Overclock)

Each Big Boss drops a '''Boss Orb''' on first defeat, which contributes to progression.

== Mini-Bosses (Overclock Enemies) ==

Mini-bosses are elite enemies marked with '''(OC)''' that appear in regular levels. They're much stronger than normal enemies and can drop valuable loot.

== Combat Tips ==

=== General Boss Strategy ===
* '''Learn patterns first''' - Don't go all-out until you understand the attacks
* '''Vulnerability windows''' - Most bosses have moments where they take extra damage
* '''Use the environment''' - [[Grav Gun]] can throw arena debris for extra damage
* '''Save dodge for emergencies''' - Don't spam dodge, save it for dangerous attacks
