Brigand Pounder Rework

Here is the All in one version

The boss fights in DD are simple, where each boss has a gimmick that they fight with. My goal is to make the fights have something more to them than just one gimmick & high hp, so that the bosses take more strategy to beat. They will be more difficult to beat, but yield better rewards, including new trophy trinkets dropped by the apprentice and veteran versions of the boss.
Brigand Pounder fight is a lot more diverse with this mod. The Brigand Pounder summons different verstions of the fuseman, who each use the cannon in their own way. Not only that, but they also have special qualities themselves to make them more threatning. Lighting the fuse has a chance to increase the Pounder’s accuracy and the Pounder has a chance to increase the speed of it’s allies upon calling for reinforcements.

What has changed?
12 new Fusemen and Pounder skills have been added.
Brigand Pounder has a chance to buff it’s allies’ speed with the skill Reinforcements.
Fusemen have a chance to increase the Pounder’s accuracy with Light The Fuse.
Every unit summoned by Reinforcements is new.
All of the new Fusemen have 0/2/4 speed, but their cannon skills are much weaker than the vanilla Fuseman’s.
All new Fusemen have special traits (e.g. stat changes).
Each Pounder shot will deal 7 stress damage on hit and heal 10 stress with misfire with a few exceptions.
Most of the Fusemen have +2 HP.
The fusemen’s affixes have been color coded.

You can skip on killing certain Fusemen depending on your party composition.
The fight has a lot of stress on the harder difficulties due to lower misfire chance.
If your heroes are low, kill the Resistant Fuseman immediately. His Repeating Pounder is devestating on low hp heroes.
The Brigand summons have a 2 turn cooldown on their guarding skills.
Sly Fuseman’s Pounder skill will remove camp buffs as well as skill buffs.
Pay attention to which Fusemen are on the field. The normal fuseman is still in the mix and so is his Pounder skill.
