Megaman Zero 4 Boss FAQ
Introduction: As you may have guessed from the title, this is a guide to the
bosses in Megaman Zero 4.  I provide a brief description, thier health, what
attacks they have, my opinion of thier difficulty, and a strategy for
defeating them.  I also give the ideal weather and EX attacks of the eight
Einjahar warriors.  The big difference between four and the previous games is
that now, the EX attacks are based on having the proper weather in the stage,
not having an A or S rank.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1)Bosses
1.a)
Subcore(Intro stage 1)
Description: The central core of the sand ship that attacks in the first level.
Has a large central eye that changes color based on which attack it will use.
Throughout the battle, Beamwalkers will enter the battle from Subcore's far
side, on the floor and roof.
Health: 2 bars
Attacks:
Twin reflective lasers:  Fires two beams up and down that bounce off the floor
and ceiling.  Eye is red.
Large Laser: Fires three large laser beams, You can dash under them.  Eye is
blue.  The strengh and size of the shots is determined by how many power cables
Subcore has left
Difficulty: 1/10
Strategy:  Start out with your Z-Knuckle equiped.  Get rid of any weapons you
may have picked up (unless you still have some bombs from the crates, if you
do, throw them at Subcore first).  Run up, and pull out all four wires under
Subcore's eye.  Once you pull all of them, Subcore will not use the Blue laser
anymore.  After the wires are pulled, just slash the eye with a charged saber.
In all honesty, the Beamwalkers are more annoying than this guy.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.b)
Carnage O.(Intro Stage 2)
Description:  A large, blue reploid who hides in the background (well, not
really hides).  He spends the match hovering, with platforms scattered
throughout the arena.
Health: 3 bars
Attacks:
Missle Spread: Carnage fires a spread of missles out of one (or both) of his
shoulders.  The missles then hit in an arc-shapped pattern.  Hide under a
platform to avoid.
Punch:  Carnage tries to punch you from the background.  Just stay away from
his fists, and you'll be fine.
Ring Lasers:  Carnage will fly off the bottom of the screen.  After a few
seconds, he'll fly up, and fire three spreads of ring shaped lasers that pass
through the platforms.  Try and stay high up to avoid this attack.
Difficulty: 2/10
Strategy:  Carnage is only vulnerable in the head, so you'll have to climb up
the platforms in order to hurt him.  Slash him with your saber, and he'll fall
pretty easily.  Since most of his attacks are easily dodgeable, there really
isn't much challenge here.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.c)
Noble Mandrago(Underground Forest)
Description: A plant-reploid with two drills.  Mandrago spends most of the
battle hiding underground and popping out to attack.
Heath: 2 bars
Weather: Sunny
Attacks:
Top Spin:  Mandrago forms into a top-shape, and spins around the bottom of the
arena once.  Climb the walls to avoid.
Nectar Throw:  Mandrago throws two or three balls of nectar at you.  They do no
damage, but prevent you from wall jumping and reduce your traction.
Appnet Summon:  If Mandrago hits you with nectar, three Appnets will be
summoned and will charge you.
Seed throw: Mandrago will throw several seeds throughout the level.  If they
hit you, they'll do a little damage.  After a few seconds, the seeds sprout.
Seeds on the ground turn into a trap, that holds you immobile and does slight
damage.  Seeds on the wall or ceiling turn into a cannon that fires at you
periodically.
EX Attack:
Recover:  Mandrago Sparkles, and recovers a little health.  Mandrago is
invincible while doing this attack.
Difficulty: 4/10
Strategy:  The only reason Mandrago is difficult is because of the nectar.  If
you get hit once, not only do you get attacked by the Appnets, but it is more
difficult to dodge later nectar attacks.  Avoid the Nectar at all costs.  If
Mandrago throws out seeds, destroy the plants that grow with a charged saber.
For Mandrago, either hit her With a charged saber or with the Z-Knuckle.  When
Mandrago is underground, Z-Knuckle will pull her up and prevent her from doing
any attacks.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.d)
Heat Genblem(Particle Beam)
Description: Large Turtle reploid with a protective armored shell.
Health: 2 bars
Weather: Sunny
Attacks:
Fire Spin:  Genblem shoots flames out the edge of his shell, then spins off
the walls.
Flamethrower:  Genblem shoots out a stream of fire that takes a wave pattern.
Zero can stand safely between the waves.
Uppercut:  Genblem attempts to punch you.  The punch fires off two smaller
streams of fire afterwards.
EX Skill
Spin Laser: After using Fire Spin, Genblem may hover in midair afterwards.  He
will then spin, firing off a constant energy beam.  He will go in several
circles, making it difficult to dodge.  Climb the wall, then jump over him to
avoid.
Difficulty: 9/10
Strategy: Genblem is difficult because of his ability to dodge most attacks.
Most times, if you attempt to attack, he will retreat, and follow with an
uppercut.  However, if he is attacking, he's vulnerable, so hit him then.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.e)
P Cocapetri(Living City)
Description:  Cocapetri is a small chicken reploid(Cocapetri is actually the
smallest boss).  He will change the layout of his arena slightly, and lay egg
reploids, called CocaPoulet, to attack.
Health: 2 bars
Weather: Sunny
Attacks:
Time Stop Shot: Cocapetri fires a strangely design shot at you.  If it hits,
Zero will be frozen for a few seconds.
Charge:  Cocapetri rushes you.
Feather shot: Cocapetri jumps and throws three feathers at you.
Large Feather Shot:  Cocapetri jumps and throws three feathers to each side,
which float downward.
Difficulty: 6/10
Strategy: Fortunately, most of Cocapetri's attacks don't do much damage,
which is good, because there is no real strategy.  Just dodge his attacks,
destroy CocaPoulet when they appear, and whack him with your saber when he's
open.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.f)
Fenrir Lunaedge(Hibernation Chamber)
Description: Werewolf reploid.  If the weather is snowy, the room is ice
covered.  He tends to jump around a lot, so watch out.
Health: 2 bars
Weather: Snow
Attacks:
Wheel Spin: Lunaedge turns into a wheel, and bounces around the room.  Dash
under him to avoid.  He cannot be damaged during this.
Triple Spear: Lunaedge creates two ice statues of himself.  He then jumps at
you, followed by the two statues.  The statues can be destroyed with a fire
attack, in which case Lunaedge does a two-stage spear attack.
Quad Shockwaves: Lunaedge jumps from one side of the room to the other.  During
this, he fires several energy waves.  First he'll fire one down, then one up
and down, then finally one up.
Spear Charge: Lunaedge lunges at you with one of his spears extended
EX Attack:
Large Shockwave: Lunaedge fires two giant shockwaves along the floor and
ceiling.  They occupy most of the room, and are difficult to dodge.
Difficulty: 5/10
Strategy: Equip SpikeTypeI if you have it (and are in ideal weather).  You'll
need it in order to be able to dodge effectively.  His Quad Shockwaves are very
difficult to dodge, but fortunately they do little damage.  Most of his other
attacks can be dodged easily, either by dashing under or wall climbing.  With
his large shockwaves, climb high to dodge the first, then quickly drop to go
under the second.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.g)
Sol Titanion(Artificial Sun)
Description: A Female Insect Reploid.  Her room is overheated, just like the
rest of the level, so try and stay in the shade during the battle.  Of course,
if you destroy the generators, that makes it much easier.
Health: 2 bars
Weather: Sunny
Attacks:
Mines: Titanion flies up and down across the room, laying three mines.  After
a second, they explode, throwing a small spray of fire.  They can be easily
destroyed with your saber.
Torch Throw: Titanion creates two torches, either red or blue, and throws them.
They take different paths depending on the color, and can be destroyed with a
charged saber.
Fireball: Titanion throws a large fireball at you.  When it hits, it splits
into four butterflies that fly off.
Flamethrower: Titanion flies across the top of the screen, breathing a column
of fire down on you.  The length of the column varies, dash under it when it
is shortest.
EX Attack:
Titanion does not have a true EX attack.  However, her fireball attack splits
into six, instead of four, when the weather is sunny.
Difficulty: 6/10
Strategy:  Most of Titanion's attacks can be destroyed with the saber, so use
that.  Stay in the shade unless you are attacking or dodging, as you can
overheat.  If it wasn't for the heat, this battle would be extremely easy,
but it still isn't that difficult.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.h)
Tech Kraken(Deep Sea)
Description: Squid Reploid that fights in an underwater, Ice-lined arena.  He
has the ability to float in the water.  If the weather is correct, he will
have an uneven room, where he'll have a rectangle if the weather is wrong.
Health: 2 bars
Weather: Snow
Attacks:
Twin Reflective Lasers: Kraken fires two blue lasers that bounce off the walls,
floor and ceiling.
Ice Shield: Kraken creates a shield of ice.  It can be destroyed with a charged
saber hit, and damages you if you touch it.
Teleport Spear: Kraken creates a black void which he enters.  The void
vanishes, then reappears near you.  Kraken then tries to spear you with his
tentacles from inside the void.  I believe that he cannot be hit while using
this attack.
Spear throw: Kraken throws four spearheads downward at you.  They follow the
ground after hitting.
EX Attack:
Ice Javelin: Kraken launches four energy balls, which launch spiked ice
javelins randomly.  The javelins stay caught in the wall for a second after
hitting.
Difficulty: 6/10
Strategy: If you have the SpikeTypeI chip, equip it before this battle.  Of
course, you won't have it the first time, because you need a CryoNeon from this
level.  Regardless, he isn't difficult to defeat, just slash him repeatedly
with your saber.  Be careful when he uses his teleport, as he can appear
anywhere and doesn't take damage.  Smash any shields he creates, and stay still
when he's using Ice Javelin to avoid bumping into it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.i)
Mino Magnus(Magnetic Zone)
Description: A very large reploid that apparently has a very bad processor,
listening to him.  He weilds a gigantic ax, and is very strong
Health: 2 bars
Weather: Stormy
Attacks:
Junk Ball: Magnus creates a magnetic sphere, which pulls junk up from the
ground.  Once the ball is complete, it falls on the ground.  Then Magnus chops
it with his ax, and the debris flies off to both sides.
Magnetic Pull: Magnus creates a magnet near is shoulder, that pulls you
into him.
Split up: Magnus splits into several pieces, which fly around the room it a
regular pattern.  Only his head is vulnerable until he reunites.
Grab: Magnus grabs you and gives you a magnetic charge.  He then drops you,
and hits you with his ax on the way down.  The charge does affect the results
of his magnetic pull.
EX Attack:
Junk Gather: With stormy weather, when Magnus charges Zero with a megnetic
field, Zero picks up junk.  This junk buildup limits your jumping height.
Junk Ball V2: Magnus throws a magnetic sphere that quickly builds up junk.
It then flies back to Magnus, where he chops it in midair, with the debris
flying off.
Difficulty: 7/10
Strategy: The trick to Magnus is avoiding his attacks, while still getting
close enough to saber him.  When he is using his junk ball, careful dashing
will avoid the junk being pulled upwards.  Avoid being grabbed by him, as
that will severely restrict your movement.  Watch his split-up pattern, to
learn where he goes when using it.  After you've learned his patterns, dodge
his attacks and defeat him.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.j)
Pegasolta Eclair(Hanging Gardens)
Description: A narcisistic Pegasus reploid who fights on three platforms.
If the weather is cloudy, there will be wind blowing, making the battle much
more challenging.  The wind does change direction, so be very careful whenever
you jump.
Health: 2 bars
Weather: Cloudy
Attacks:
Javelin: Pegasolta charges at you three times.
Electric Spears:  Pegasolta throws two spears at you.  If they both miss and
hit the platforms, an electric bolt passes between them.
Grab: Pegasolta flies down, picks you up, and throws you down.  Try and avoid
this, as he can throw you down the pits
Lightning beam: Pegasolta glows blue, then fires two electric beams,
one horizontal and one diagonal, at you, then flies downward to hit you.
EX Attack:
Charge Kick: Pegasolta charges like he's going to use lightnig beam, but
instead launches a powerful Kick across the arena.  Try to jump over it
Difficulty: 7/10
Strategy: If you're playing in cloudy weather, be sure and equip the
SpikeTypeW chip.  My recommended method of attack is too simply stay near
him and whack him with your saber until he dies.  The other tactic is to try
and shoot him with your ice javelin EX Skill.  He will try to fly up and
dodge, so be careful trying to hit.  He does not try and dodge near as much
when you use the saber, so I'd recommend that.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.k)
Craft(Intermediate Stage I and Ragnarok stage I)
Description: Humanoid Reploid and Commander of the Einjahar warriors.  In
Charge of implementing Weil's Ragnarok plan
Health: 3 bars
Attacks:
Bayonet Charge: Craft charges you with his bayonet on his rifle.  If he hits,
he fires it, and you, at the far wall, where it explodes.
Missles: Craft fires a missle, that homes in on you.
Laser: Craft activates a red laser sight, which he quickly follows with a
powerful blue laser.
Triple Grenades: Craft Launches three grenades at you, which detonate on
contact with the ground.
Scatter Grenade: Craft jumps in the air, and throws a large grenade at you,
which detonates on contact.  If it doesn't hit anything, it breaks into
fragments that fly in six directions.
Laser Dive(Ragnarok only): Craft hovers and fires a laser download.  He then
flies in a u-shape over the field, with the laser still active.
Difficulty: 8/10
Strategy: I really don't have any tricks for beating this guy.  If you have any
good strategies, please send them in.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.l)
The Giant(Intermediate Stage II)
Description: Gigantic Reploid that hides in the background, similar to Carnage.
However, he doesn't have any projectile weapons to hit you with.  However,
blocks will fall from the roof periodically.
Health: 3 bars
Attacks:
Punch: The Giant swings one fist at you.
Double Punch: The Giant swings both fists together toward the center of the
screen.
Shockwave: The Giant swings his fists down into the center of the arena,
sending a shockwave to both sides.
Difficulty: 4/10
Strategy: The small size of the room makes him more difficult to battle than
Carnage.  Climb the walls and whack his head with a charged saber, while
dodging his large fists.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.m)
Random Bandom(Ragnarok Stage II)
Description: A security robot that hides behind the back wall.  Will emerge
to attack.
Health: 3 bars
Attacks:
Bounce:  Bandom comes out from the wall and bounces around the room.
Cannon Chain: A line of cannons emerge from the tiles on the back wall, and
fire a shot at you.  You can destroy them with the Z-Saber, but they
regenerate.
Random Cannon: Random tiles reveal cannons that shoot 6 lasers at you.
Again, they can be destroyed, but they regenerate.
Ring shot: Bandom emerges from the wall and fires bolts around the room.
Difficulty: 5/10
Strategy:  Bandom is not really that difficult.  Slash him with a charged
saber whenever he comes out of the wall.  If you need to, you can wall jump
over him when he is using his ring shots, he usually does not cover the whole
room.  When the small cannons come out of the wall, just destroy them with the
saber to prevent them from shooting you.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.n)
Cyball (Ragnarok Stage III)
Description: A spherical defense program.  You have two parallel platforms to
attack from.  You can hang from the bottom of either platform, or stand on top.
Health: 3 bars
Attacks:
Fly: Cyball flies in a figure-8 pattern around the arena.
4 Split: Cyball splits into four smaller versions, and flies through the level.
Climb onto the top platform, and jump the four spheres.
Amoebas: Cyball launches three amoeba-like objects that home in on Zero.
Hitting them with your Saber will weaken and stall them temporarily.
Barrier: Cyball will create an electic wall around the edge of the arena.
Just stant in the middle of the level to avoid it.
Difficulty: 7/10
Strategy:  The only real challenge(but a good one), is avoiding him when he
does his figure eight.  Climb on top of the top platform when he starts, go
to the middle when he passes, then climb back on top again.  Other than that,
stand near the edge of the platform and hit him with charged saber until he is
defeated.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.o)
Weil (Form 1)(Final Stage)
Desciption:  Weil forms a large battle body out of Ragnarok's control system.
He hovers constantly, and has the ability to teleport.
Health:  3 bars
Attacks:
Multisphere:  Weil creates an arc of small spheres, then throws them at you.
He typically does this twice, from each side of the room.
Boulder Throw:  Weil creates a line of boulders at the top of the screen,
which he then throws.  All the boulders travel in a straight line, but the
brown ones are more difficult to predict.  Again, he does this twice.
Knife Drop:  Weil creates three illusions of himself.  After a few seconds,
the illusions vanish, and Weil drops around six knives where the illusions
were.  The knives stay in the arena, so destroy them with your saber.
Sunburst:  Weil does this immediately after his knife drop.  Weil becomes a
small energy sphere in the top-center of the room.  He then shoots small shots
at you, which split in two when they hit one of his knives.  The knives are
destroyed after he finishes.
Number Attack:  Weil becomes a large energy sphere in the exact center of the
room.  He then summons several of his numbers from Zero 3 to attack:
Blazin' Flizzard uses a flamethrower
Childre Inarabitta does a ground dive, firing off several ice spears when it
hits
Devilbat Schillt fires a few electric spheres at you
Deathtanz Mantisk fires a claw at you
Cubit Foxtar throws several fireballs in the air at you
Volteel Biblio electrifies the floor
Difficulty: 9/10
Strategy:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.p)
Weil (Final Form)(Final Stage)
Description:  Weil fuses with the Ragnarok station.  He takes up the entire
right side of the screen, with a weak core in the middle of his body.  He has
a spiked shield which he uses to defend himself.  You have only 120 seconds
for this fight.  He also has the ability to spawn Bonsects at will.
Health: 3 bars
Attacks:
Spike shot:  Weil lowers his shield, and then fires it at you.
Large Fireball:  Weil fires three large fireballs at you.  if they hit the
left side of the screen, they split into smaller fireballs with random
trajectories.
Tractor beam:  Weil creates a green hexagon, which immobilizes you if it hits.
It does no damage, but will set you up for other attacks.  I've seen up to
three tractor beams on the screen at once.
Large Laser:  Weil fires a large laser beam out of his eye.  He will try to
catch you in a tractor beam before, so be careful.  If he can't he may go up
or down, possibly making it impossible to dodge.
Difficulty: 10/10
Strategy:  This guy is tough.  You have a time limit, and he has a shield.
Make sure you have as many subtanks as possible before entering this fight.
You will use them, as some of his attacks cannot be dodged.  To attack, you
have two choices.  First, you can use Sol Titation's EX skill, the Burning
Shot, to damage him while his shield is up.  Or, you can try to attack him
with a Saber(or possibly a Mega Axe Z-knuckle weapon) when his shield is down.
You'll do more damage that way, but have less opportunities to attack.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2)Minibosses
2.a)
Fire Renant(Underground Forest)
Description:  A giant mechanical Ant in a circular room.  He walks around the
room, changing direction when he takes damage.
Attacks:
Flamethrower:  Renant fires a burst of flame in front of him.
Bombs:  Renant drops bombs behind him, which explode after a few seconds
Difficulty:  2/10
Strategy:  Stand on either the top or bottom platform.  When he starts heading
toward the platform you are on, hit him with a charged saber, followed by a
triple slash.  If you do it quickly enough, he should turn around before he
reaches you.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.b)
Spy Larue F(Particle Cannon)
Description:  A Large (bigger than some bosses) fire-element dragon.  Floats
on the left side of the screen.
Attacks:
Fire Whirlwind:  Larue launches a fireball at you.  When it hits you or the
ground, it forms into a massive whirlwind that draws you in.  Dash away from
it to escape.
Grab: Larue swoops and tries to pick you up.  If he grabs you, he then slams
you to the ground for decent damage.
Lasers:  Larue fires several lasers from his tail.  Depending on their height,
either jump over or dash under.  He usually shoots three at a time.
Difficulty:  6/10
Strategy:  Spy Larue is a dangerous miniboss.  Although he is weak to
electric, there isn't much point to using it, as you have no good electric
attacks.  Instead, simply stand under him and hit him with charged sabers
whenever he floats down.  You can attack him while he is using his Whirlwind,
but be careful, as it will pull you in very quickly.  His grab attack cannot
be dodged, but he will give up if he takes enough damage during it (A triple
slash works good).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.c)
Ribops(Living City)
Description:  The control tower for the living city.  Ribops does not attack,
but instead is supported by Bomsects and Triaformers.  This guy really isn't a
miniboss, but he's on the list, so he's here.
Attacks:  None
Difficulty:  .5/10
Strategy:  This guy is a piece of cake.  Just use your Z-knuckle to pull out
the handles, and he'll be gone in no time.  Kill the Bonsects and Triaformers
if nessecary.  The only choice is if you want the top path or the bottom when
he falls.  The top path has Megamesons and cannon-hoppers, while the lower
path is just Metaurs.  Your choice.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.d)
Gear Bank(Hibernation chamber)
Description:  A large box that releases large numbers of Serpentgears.  Gear
Bank does not move or attack, so the gears are the only threat.
Attacks:  None
Difficulty: 2/10
Strategy:  Although Gear Bank doesn't attack, you will take damage if you
touch it.  To defeat it, you have to destroy all four nozzles.  The lower
three can be hit simply by standing and using a charged saber.  The top nozzle
will require a jump to hit.  If you have Heat Genblem's EX attack, the Flame
Fang, use that, as it will hit several nozzles, and Gear Bank is weak to fire.
This is also the only place to collect SerpentGear parts, so be sure and come
back to collect a few.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.e)
Tyrine(Artificial Sun)
Description: Tyrine resembles a smaller version of the heat generators found
throughout the level.  Tyrine always begins with 8 Glass Cannons.
Attacks:
Fireball:  Tyrine surrounds itself with the Glass Cannons, and launches
fireballs at you.
Fire Spray:  After all the Glass Cannons are destroyed, Tyrine will rapid-fire
fireballs in a spiral pattern, similar to Heat Genblem.  Unlike Genblem,
Tyrine does not stop.
Difficulty:  5/10
Strategy:  I'd recommend destroying seven of the Glass Cannons, then attacking
Tyrine with charged sabers.  If you leave one Glass Cannon, Tyrine will not
begin the Fire Spray attack.  Since the Glass Cannons tend to fire
simultaneously, leaving more alive will make it much harder to dodge.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.f)
Spy Larue I(Deep Sea)
Description:  A large Ice-element Dragon.  He floats along the right side of
the arena.
Attacks:
Ice Breath: Larue Breathes a cold breath down from his mouth, which freezes
you in a block of ice if it hits.  It also creates six ice spears, which he
then blows at you.  The wind that blows the spears also blows you to the left.
Grab: Larue swoops and tries to pick you up.  If he grabs you, he then slams
you to the ground for decent damage.
Lasers:  Larue fires several lasers from his tail.  Depending on their height,
either jump over or dash under.  He usually shoots three at a time.
Difficulty: 5/10
Strategy: Unlike Spy Larue F, Spy Larue I does have exploitable weaknesses.
Heat Genblem's EX skill, Flame Fang, makes short work of Larue if used right.
You can also try Sol Titanion's EX Skill, the Burning Shot, to attack from a
distance.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.g)
Clabanger NS(Magnetic Zone)
Description:  A giant mechanical crab that hangs on the ceiling.  Clabanger
spawns two minor enemies, MinicrabanB and MinicrabanR, that can only be found
here.  If the weather is stormy, the ceiling will be electrified.
Attacks:
Electric Beam:  Crabanger fires two electric beams at the ground.  Those beams
then pull up sections of ground, until they are halfway to the ceiling.  If
you stand on said platforms, they sink back into the floor.  They do damage
you, so avoid them, then return the floor to normal.
Difficulty: 4/10
Strategy: Clabanger isn't hard if you're careful.  The minicrabans are very
weak, and can be elimintated with an uncharged saber.  Keep the floor low, and
jump up to hit Crabanger with Saber strikes.  Just don't hit him or the
ceiling, and he'll go down very quick.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.h)
Spy Larue E(Hanging Gardens)
Description:  A large Electric-type dragon who floats on the right side of the
screen.
Attacks:
Thunder Strike: Larue launches three electric spheres.  After they reach
thier positions, they fire an electric bolt up and down.
Grab: Larue swoops and tries to pick you up.  If he grabs you, he then slams
you to the ground for decent damage.
Lasers:  Larue fires several lasers from his tail.  Depending on their height,
either jump over or dash under.  He usually shoots three at a time.
Difficulty: 3/10
Strategy: Spy Larue E is the easiest of the three.  First, they do not have
any wind attacks, so you are in control at all times.  Second, you can easily
attack from range, with Tech Kraken's Ice Javelin.  Larue will not survive
many attacks from that.
