Claw Swipe:
The Coeurl’s standard front-facing attack with a claw swing.

Lunge:
The Coeurl will take a step back briefly before charging forward to attack.

Whirlwind:
The Coeurl will glow a bright blue color (signifying that you should get ready to dodge) before whipping its whiskers around its body, dealing damage in all directions.

Electric Blast:
The Coeurl’s two electric whiskers will light up, and a blue orb will begin forming in front of it. Once it’s done charging, the Coeurl will launch a quick blast of electricity towards you. You can counterattack this magic blast using Heatwave.

Whipcrack:
The Coeurl will fling its two whiskers forward, one after the other, hitting a vast area in front of it. It can be challenging to get used to the timing and range of this attack, but get ready to dodge twice when you see it coming, unless you can get out of its range or behind the Coeurl once it initiates the attack.

Lightning Rods:
Similar to Ramuh’s Lightning Rods, but electricity will flow between them, which will damage you if you cross it. Your best bet if these spawn is to get distance between you and the Coeurl and wait until they despawn.

Wild Charge:
This is an attack that the Coeurl uses when its health is low. It will charge itself up with electricity and will lunge at you constantly, while electric bolts come down from the sky. Your goal, if the Coeurl uses this attack, is to go on the defensive and survive until it is over, but if you’re quick enough, you can defeat it before it gets a chance to use it.

Flying X Attack:
This is the very first attack that Hugo will use. This isn’t the official name of this attack or anything, but it’s easy to identify this way because Hugo’s hands will enlarge and he will cross them in an X pattern in front of himself before flying across the screen towards Clive. There are two attacks that Hugo uses, including this one, that won’t change throughout the fight. This attack is easy to see coming, easy to dodge, and it’s easy to get some attacks in on Hugo once he uses it (or counterattack it with Rook’s Gambit.

Regular Attack Combo:
This regular attack can be identified easily because it’s the only one where Hugo’s fists won’t light up when he initiates the attacks. The attack combo is one haymaker punch followed by an immediate kick, and you’ll need to be ready to dodge both quickly. This is the second of Hugo’s attacks that stay the same throughout the fight.

Earth Fists:
Hugo’s two arms will light up at his side, and he will dash across the screen, attempting to uppercut Clive. Hugo will turn this into a more lengthy combo attack as we move into later phases of the fight, but at the beginning, it’s just a single uppercut attack.

Sledgehammer:
This is a counterattack that Hugo will use if you attack him with a regular Melee Attack. You can dodge and counterattack his counterattack.

Geocrush:
Hugo will dive into the earth, temporarily becoming untargetable. You will then see or feel three rumbles, and Hugo will begin bursting through the ground on the third rumble. If you happen to dodge right when he emerges, you can run away; otherwise, you’ll be temporarily stunned in place. You’ll still have to run out of the circle that appears, but you’ll have to wait for the stun to wear off. Don’t be in the circle when Hugo emerges; otherwise, you’ll take damage.

Titanic Counter:
At times, Hugo will raise both of his fists to block your attacks. If you hit him too many times while his fists are in a blocking position, he will perform a “Titanic Counter,” which deals a ton of damage. There are two ways to deal with this—you can either wait out the attack until Hugo puts his fists back down or break right through it, but only with an Eikonic Ability such as Heatwave or Rising Flames.

Earth Fists (Updated):
Now, instead of just one uppercut, Hugo will do two uppercuts, with the second uppercut being two consecutive attacks. You have to dodge both attacks now instead of just the one, similar to how you would dodge the “Regular Attack Combo.”

Weight of the Land:
Hugo will summon Quake underneath Clive, as well as in four spots around where Clive is standing, for a total of five places to dodge on the ground. This is easy to dodge, but you’ll have to make sure that you don’t accidentally dodge into one of the other Quake spots. Hugo very often follows this attack up with a “Landslide.”

Landslide:
A straight line of magic will flow out from Hugo towards Clive. Dive out of the pathway before it explodes.

Tumult:
Hugo will fly towards you and remain floating in the air. As he slams into the ground, a wave of energy radiates outward. The goal here is to dodge each of the circles that radiate away from him, as he will slam the ground a total of 3 times. The hardest part of doing this successfully is dodging the attacks without setting yourself up to be easily hit by the next wave. The easiest way to do this is to get a bit of distance from Hugo’s starting location and then dodge to the left or right, not forward or backward.

Torment:
This is the last attack that Hugo will use once he reaches approximately 40% HP, and it is an extremely long and drawn-out attack sequence.
Step 1) He will start by slamming the ground and lunging towards wherever Clive is, so dodge this first slam.
Step 2) He will dig into the ground using “Earth Fury” and explode most of the ground in a cone directly in front of him. Move far away from him to stay safe.
Step 3) He will begin winding up his arms and then lunge across the screen to Clive’s location, swinging his right arm (our left side), then left arm (our right side), and then one more right arm (our left side). The goal here is to be constantly jumping away from him and dodging until this attack sequence is over. It’s usually better to dodge to our left because, for some reason, the second attack (on our right side) tends to be the most difficult to dodge.
Step 4) Hugo will retreat to the back of the room and then fire his fists across the room to hit you. First the left, then the right, and then both at the same time. These are not too difficult to dodge because the distance gives us more time to react.
Step 5) Hugo will lunge across the screen towards Clive and slam his fist down twice in a row. For these attacks, don’t just continuously press the dodge button. Instead, time the dodges appropriately to coincide with when his fists hit the ground; otherwise, he has a high likelihood of connecting with these attacks.
Step 6) He will transform and begin casting “Earthen Fury.” This attack lights up a large circle on the ground around Hugo. Move out of this circle to dodge the attack.

Earth Fists (Updated):
This attack has been updated yet again. We’ve moved from two attacks to three attacks. The third attack is a little bit slower, though, so you can’t dodge three times immediately. Instead, watch for Hugo to jump into the air and slam his fists down, and be ready to dodge when he does.

Force of the Land (New):
This is the most annoying of Hugo’s new attacks. He will jump to one of the edges of the battlefield, but the attack covers almost the entire battlefield anyway, and he completes it so quickly that it’s nearly impossible to get out of range, so you’ll have to dodge it. The key to avoiding this attack is to watch Hugo’s large, lit-up hands. He will smash them into the ground once, which will spread yellow magical shards across the ground, and then he will quickly smash them into the ground, shattering all of the shards upwards. You need to execute an Dodge at the exact time that his hands hit the ground the second time. The timing is tricky to get used to—consider watching the video demonstration below if you’re having trouble.

Earthen Fist (New/Updated):
This is a new ability, but it replaces his “Sledgehammer” and “Titanic Counter” attack as a counter if you hit him with your sword. His two fists will grow increasingly large before he slams them together in front of himself. This attack is easy to avoid because you can have plenty of time to run away or dodge out of the area in front of Hugo.

Wind Up Punch: (New):
This attack looks similar to the Regular Attack combo; Hugo will lunge towards Clive, but rather than immediately throwing a punch, he will wind his arm up backwards and blast magic forwards in a large radius. This is just another attack that you have to dodge when Hugo comes rushing out, but there are two differences from the other attacks. This one hits a large radius in front of Hugo, so you have to dodge away as far as possible, and there’s a slight delay on the attack compared to the “Regular Attack Combo,” so be prepared for this too.

Upheaval (New):
This is technically a new ability, but it’s just a combination of two abilities that Hugo was using before; he will use “Weight of the Land” and “Tumult” at the same time. This means you have to dodge the radiating circles as well as the Quake magic spots on the ground. This may sound incredibly complex, but it’s relatively straightforward. Just run to the right or the left and ignore the Quake spots on the ground—save your dodges and be ready to dodge when the circles of energy from “Tumult” radiate outwards. The movement from your dodging to the left and the right will help you get away from the Quake spots, and you have to save your dodges for the energy waves; otherwise, they will hit you and deal damage.
