'''Sphere''' (also called the '''Guardian''' or '''Heart of the Singularity''') is a mid-game boss in '''[[Main Page|Galactic Glitch]]'''. This enigmatic spherical entity guards the deeper layers of the simulation.

== Overview ==

The Sphere is a mysterious, orb-like boss that floats in the center of its arena. Unlike the physical [[Behemoth]], the Sphere attacks primarily with energy-based projectiles and spatial manipulation. It represents the simulation's more abstract defenses.

=== Attack Patterns ===

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Attack !! Description !! How to Avoid
|-
| '''Orbital Lasers''' || Spawns rotating laser beams around itself || Move in sync with rotation or stay at specific safe distances
|-
| '''Energy Burst''' || Releases expanding rings of energy || Pass through gaps in the rings or time your dodge
|-
| '''Gravity Well''' || Creates pull zones that drag the player || Boost away from the center, use momentum
|-
| '''Shard Storm''' || Launches multiple tracking projectiles || Destroy with weapons or use cover
|-
| '''Pulse Wave''' || Arena-wide damage pulse || Cannot be dodged - must break shield generators first
|}

=== Phases ===

'''Phase 1 (100% - 66% HP):'''
* Orbital Lasers and Energy Burst only
* Predictable patterns
* Core is frequently exposed

'''Phase 2 (66% - 33% HP):'''
* Adds Gravity Well
* Spawns shield generators around arena
* Must destroy generators to damage core

'''Phase 3 (33% - 0% HP):'''
* Shard Storm becomes primary attack
* Pulse Wave requires destroying all generators quickly
* Extremely aggressive

=== Weak Points ===

The Sphere's '''core''' is its weak point, but it's protected:
* Phase 1: Core exposed during attack cooldowns
* Phase 2-3: Must destroy '''Shield Generators''' (4 small orbs) to expose core
* Core glows bright when vulnerable

== Strategy ==

=== Recommended Loadout ===
* Weapons with good projectile speed: [[Railgun]], [[Quickshot]]
* Area damage powers for shield generators: [[Hurricane]], [[Shockingly Close]]
* Movement powers to escape Gravity Wells

=== Tips ===
* Learn the Orbital Laser rotation pattern - there are always safe spots
* Prioritize Shield Generators in Phases 2-3
* The Gravity Well can be used to your advantage - it also pulls enemy projectiles
* Save high-damage abilities for when the core is exposed
* Energy Burst rings have consistent gaps - don't panic

== Rewards ==

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Reward !! Amount/Details
|-
| Boss Orb || BO2 (Second Boss Orb)
|-
| Credits || ~750
|-
| Unlocks || Access to [[Cerberus]] arena, new [[Powers]]
|}

== Lore ==

The Sphere is described as the "Heart of the Singularity" - a core component of the simulation's infrastructure. [[Siren]] suggests it's not merely a guardian, but part of what keeps the simulation stable. Destroying it weakens the barriers between layers.

== Trivia ==

* The Sphere's design is inspired by cosmic phenomena like neutron stars
* It's one of the few bosses that doesn't move from its central position
* Some players call it "The Eye" due to its appearance
