Energy Beam: Horizontal Attack

Master the Energy Beam Super Art in Cuphead! Learn how to unleash this devastating horizontal attack for Cuphead and Mugman to deal massive damage and clear screens.

Alright, let's talk about one of the most satisfying supers in Cuphead: the Energy Beam, specifically its horizontal attack. This bad boy is unlocked after you rescue The Legendary Chalice from one of the Mausoleums, and you'll need to have your super meter filled up with 5 cards to unleash it. Remember, you can fill that meter by parrying pink objects or just by dealing damage to enemies. This Super Art, called 'Energy Beam,' is Super Art I for Cuphead and Mugman. When you activate it, you'll unleash a powerful blast straight from your head. It's strictly horizontal, meaning it'll only fire straight ahead, whether you're on the ground or in the air. Don't underestimate it – this beam deals a hefty 87 damage and covers a pretty large section of the screen, making it great for clearing out multiple enemies or hitting a boss hard. Just a heads-up, though: unlike some other supers, you can't parry while this beam is active, unless you're using the P-Sugar charm. So, be mindful of your positioning and any incoming threats when you decide to let loose with the Energy Beam.
