Summary0010077: Ice bats are satanspawn
DescriptionThey fly in and shoot you with a near-invisible projectile that goes so fast you can't dodge it without a lot of room to maneuver. Just for the hell of it, it cuts your speed by like 80%, sure why not. Personal opinion: Ice bats weren't fun back in AVWW1, and they definitely still aren't. The slow debuff can just be removed entirely and this enemy type would still be...STUPID dangerous, yes "stupid dangerous," because they just fly in and shoot you and there is not really a counter to this. Clockwork zeppelins do this too, but at least you can SEE the projectiles then (and they don't fly in aggressively with a tiny hitbox!)...oh wait yeah they shoot MULTIPLE projectiles so they're just as bad, except for the part that their projectiles last like half a minute. I'm not kidding, they last so long they're essentially rolling land mines of death. Sure do more damage than air mines anyway! Those floating mines look so dangerous but they do basically no damage... Why not just have levitating spike balls that do seven times the damage and are reusable? Or better yet just breed more ice bats and call it GG? Really now if the overlord was smart he would just have an armada of zeppelins and ice bats.

Edit: Also I don't even know how strong the ice bat shot caliber is because it is so impossible to see, and thus I don't know if I've destroyed it or they just missed. Even if it's beaten by everything in the game everything above still applies, that is how ridiculous they are. A tiny enemy that flies in and shoots you is just not fun no matter how it is executed. Also normal (maybe ice?) bats NEVER drop aggro even if you run ten screens away. I noticed this in multiplayer since they'll just go after one guy and the other guy can easily see the bat not changing aggro even if his original target is long gone, unless he goes in a building or something.
