You know what.
Let's give all classes some kind of melee weapon.
Badspot has a wand that kills you in a hit and a shockwave.
Are you going to:
Run at him with a sword
Or Keep your loving distance?
Ephialtes is faster than you and has a shockwave.
Are you going to:
Run at him with a sword
Or Keep your loving distance?
Kaje has a giant Mech that can easily obliterate you and can only be killed by Agent Creeper.
Are you going to:
Run at him with a sword
Or Keep your loving distance?
Penthselia is two times your size, has a spear and a sword.
Mocheeze is untouchable with Melee weapons unless that person is clueless.
Demolator can blow you up easily and burn you to a crisp.
Rotondo can make you into a nice cold glass of Lemonade in three punches.
Dark Samus has a missile launcher, a scatter blaster, a shield and incredible speeds.
Spyro will burn you into a crisp in a nano-second.
Do you see what I am saying? Melee weapons are a poor choice for a weapon with these bosses.
