Master the Doggone Dogfight! Learn the best strategies, phases, and tips to defeat The Howling Aces boss in Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• The Howling Aces are the boss of the Doggone Dogfight level.
• They are a group of dogfighters, featuring a bulky bulldog in a fighter plane and a female saluki riding a Chinook-themed aircraft.
• Four pups accompany them, initially inside the bulldog's plane, then fighting independently.
• They are the only boss in The Delicious Last Course with a secret phase.

Phases:

1. Phase 1: The bulldog pilot and his plane, with pups attacking from within.
2. Phase 2: The saluki pilot and her Chinook-themed plane, with pups now fighting on their own.
3. Phase 3 (Secret Phase): This phase is unique to The Howling Aces and involves a special mechanic or challenge not present in other boss fights.

Strategy:

• Focus on dodging the various projectiles and attacks from the planes and the pups.
• Utilize Ms. Chalice's parry dash for quick evasive maneuvers.
• The specific strategy will depend on the weapons and charms equipped, but maintaining consistent damage while avoiding hits is key.
• Pay close attention to the patterns of the pups as they change their attack methods.
• The secret phase will require adapting to a new set of challenges, so be prepared for the unexpected.
