Which items work well / don't work for Boss battle's?

re: the Cyclops damage. I guess it must be as you say. I've played the battle over now a few times and it's never happened again. It tricked me the first time because it was the first time I went into battle against the Driller with the Cyclops and it was the first and only attack I've seen the Cyclops do vs the Driller and the very next attack by the Cyclops did the exact same thing, about almost exactly the same amount of damage. So it looked like that's what the Cyclops is going to do vs. the Driller, being those were the fist 2 attacks I've seen the Cyclops do vs. Driller. (I think my very first run through the game I used Cyclops, but I forget), so I was like how can that be. But then it just never happened again. weird.

Then as soon as the Cyclops starts doing normal damage, suddenly the Demons are doing what the Cyclops was doing, about the same quantity of damage, 50-80, twice in a row. So it tricked me to think maybe there is some special defense the Driller has sometimes.

On the next few runs I occasionally saw the Demon units do a very low quantity of damage, but that's when the stack was almost wasted away. So that explains that. But the Cyclops never died at all so it must be as you figured for the Cyclops. Anyway what a trick of the mind.

Also it tricked me because vs. regular units even if there is only like 10hp of life left in the stack, an attack may do 10,000 points of damage to end the stack. Not used to the boss only taking exactly how much life it has left. I've only played the whole game through a few times and don't often replay the boss battles.

But that double set of exact same damage done by the Driller in a row isn't a trick of the mind, that has some explanation in game mechanics I pretty sure.
