What difficulty is Lucilius?

[ingosupercute]

So, I'm not very good so I normally just play arcade mode every now and then and pick hard as opponent (which seems like normal mode in other games). However this time after Beelzebub I gotten into a fight with Lucilius and he completely moped the floor with me. In ten fights I only managed to take a single round of him, then I got bored and quit. What would be the equivalent arcade mode difficulty for other opponents to get closer to what he does?

Lucilius in arcade is different because he serves as one of the hidden bosses. That is to say, he cheats when he fights you, and he is capable of doing moves when he'd normally not be able to. For example, he can perform ultimate skills even if he doesn't have enough meter.

A little hard to gauge what the equivalent difficulty would otherwise be due to this boss gimmick/cheating aspect.

Ahhhh... does he also take less damage from attacks? I felt like throwing cotton balls at him.

His AI is max difficulty (nightmare?)
The guy has 100% energy at round start so you should approach him with normals through dashing or jumping
He is baitable which includes his supers and EX moces
Doing raw specials and supers WILL kill you

Versusia Boss is same tactics but every mistake is more costly and also her health is regenerating

His health is increased

Lucilius (and by extension, Versusia)'s boss fights in Arcade mode are, assuming, 2 difficulties above your current difficulty set from the fights you've selected.

For example, if all of your matches were on Beginner from up to stages 1 through 7, it is then automatically (forcefully), scaled to Hard.

And yes, their movesets as CPU bosses for Arcade grant them some slight differences from their player controlled versions, especially if you fight them on a harder difficulty. They also have increased health.

I believe it's increased health pool rather than taking reduced dmg

[Fernweh]

I think it's just increased health and damage. Nightmare/Hell versions can deal 50% off of SBA/236U raw. I remember him being able to start the round with Paradise Lost like he does in Story but most game footage doesn't show that happening so I probably hallucinated that.

Everyone is saying something different.

In my defence I play only on nightmare. Every difficulty below - AI just stands there menacingly.

Ai in this game is dumb , you can troll Lucilius by spaming far reaching normal ...over and over again the Cpu cannot manage spacing ...My noob friend destroyed him by mashing L ..i was like...pff..why do i even try to play well...Granted when the boss manage to open you up, you'll take ridiculous damage , in that sense , it feel like a minigame. Not very fun.You don't feel like you accomplish something by wining ..my first win against Versusia was like "...yeah..well...ok that was arcade mod , i guess" (2.4 mill score, i don't even know if this is a good score or trash)

I don't think he can use ultimate skills without meter, its that he starts with full meter so he can do his ultimate skills or sba/ssba right away. You can often bait him into wasting his meter.

Haven't fought him for a while so I could be misremembering but pretty sure I've seen him doing his ultimate command grab while his meter is empty

In arcade mode, Lucilus, belzebub, versuvia and avatar belial are all boss fights, they have higher hitpoints and higher attacks than the other characters.
