Fuse lier destorys runs

[AtomicWheeze]

Is it just me, or is Fuselier, like, WAY to hard? And dont retaliate with a 'He is super easy'- I personnaly find him harder than floor 3 bosses. Its because of the limited space. I feel that you are too crampted to fight the guy and falling into pits happens WAY to often during the fight. I have yet to actually beat Fuselier, because of the weird patterns it follows. It may just be me, and i like a good challenge, but fuselier has ruined many runs.

Eh, Fuselier really just requires you to know where to be when dodging his attacks, its more of a positioning battle then anything. Just try to stay near the back of the arena when dodging his attacks, that usually works for me.

Yes he has for me as well.

Yep you said it. Once I learned this I haven't lost to him since beyond some health. Still I do avoid him if possible because I don't find his rewards are worth the fight.

Sometimes you are required to go through his arena, though.

ive actually never gotten hit by it once, no joke. all of its attacks are unbelievably easy to dodge/deflect as the bullet but i do think it has a ridiculous amount of health for a miniboss

I think a good deal of enemies and bosses become significantly easier with Bullet.

To replay to OP tho, a big tip is to dodge roll only when absolutely necessary. Rely more on just weaving through attacks, you can get some bad patterns but generally speaking it's a lot easier than it sounds. Fuselier actually doesn't have *that* much more health than other mini bosses, he's just harder to hit. If you have a beam weapon, use it. He'll usually die relatively quick to one assuming you're not hitting him with a Gamma Ray or something. Also, I dunno if this helps at all, but Fuselier is the only mini-boss to have an icon on the minimap before discovering him, at least in my experience, so you can kinda prepare yourself.

ya, now that i think about it, i barley ever dodge roll in the fight, i just walk around/through the gaps in the attacks, and i have seen the miniboss icon on maps for other miniboss rooms so it must just be a glitch or something

[Honorable_D]

Yeah, I think the biggest problem with it is too high of health.

Yeah, I'm just speaking from experience on that one. Probably just some weird RNG or something.

stay far to the left or right. His shots go there less often and his adds will all be to the same side of the player and be much easier to take out. It seems like it has high health but really if you encounter it late in a run when you have some high damage output options, it dies fast.

[AtomicWheeze]

thanks for the tips

[Zeforas]

Never stay in the middle. Use a weapon that got one of the following :

-fast shot speed
-spread weapon with high range.
-homing

Those weapon are the best to actualy hit him, since he goes quite fast, it can be hard to aim with any other weapon.

As mentionned, always go to the far left or fight side of the arena. Be sure to have a fast weapon in hand when he summon his minion, to quickly clear them out. Don't be afraid to use a blank if you feel like the summon are badly placed.

[Hand's Hermit Permit]

Whenever I fight him I usually have a ridiculus/good damage weapon and can nuke him. He doesn't have that much health and is really big, so just hit him very hard.
