"A little late to the party, sir?"

Yeah yeah, I know. But I still like to participate in community projects like this.

Lucas
Of course I had to use my main character for this. Unlike most battles, this will be a plane battle

Pre-Battle:  Lucas rises into the air on Cute Fishron, cloaked by his longcoat. He then shifts it to make a dramatic reveal of himself as Cute Fishron roars. He then picks up his bow.

Phase 1: Lucas will often move vertically across the battlefield to make himself a harder target for Cuphead. Hitting Cute Fishron will slow him down, but you need to hit Lucas himself to deal damage.

In this phase, Lucas has two attacks:


 * His common attack involves him shooting his bow to create three arrows, with the occasional fourth parry-able arrow. They travel in an arc, and can be easily avoided most of the time.
 * After about 6 bow shots, he pulls out his Chain Gun. He revs it up and stays on the same vertical level as Cuphead, but locks position after 3 seconds, and shoots the gun the next second. This one is extra dangerous, as if you get hit, you'll be pushed back and most likely take two damage, but it's still easy to avoid.

Phase 2: Lucas falls off and into the water, before being picked up by Cute Fishron. Cute Fishron roars, and his eyes start glowing. Lucas will move more sporadically, and while you can deal damage by shooting Cute Fishron now, he'll still take less damage when shot there, and will not be slowed down anymore.

In this phase, Lucas has two attacks:


 * He still has his bow attack, but the arrows travel faster, and after they reach the end of their arc, they cause a star to fall down, so watch for that.
 * Lucas replaces his gun attack with getting Cute Fishron to ram into Cuphead, instead. The attack has less warning, and a much larger attack range.

If you are on Simple mode, the battle ends with Lucas holding his head into his hands as he and Cute Fishron slowly descend.

Phase 3: Cute Fishron and Lucas slowly fall off-screen, before a purple flash of light appears, and Lucas flies back up with glowing, purple wings. He now has an enraged look on his face.

Lucas has three attacks during his phase:
 * While the battle rages on, purple arrows will rain down from the sky constantly. Sometimes the arrows will be pink, parry-able arrows, though.
 * Lucas' bow attack is the same as last phase.
 * Lucas will fly to the left of the screen, then attempt to hit you with the Solar Eruption.

When he is defeated, he will droop his head down as his wings struggle to keep him in the air.

Death quotes:
 * Phase 1: Looks like you're in a rut. Care to take another shot? Heh heh...
 * Phase 2: Impressed by the power of my pet? He gets a lot of strength when he's wet!
 * Phase 3: It's gonna take a lot more than just winging it if you want to get past my bow!
