Learn how to use the Smoke Bomb ability in Cuphead's DLC to gain invincibility during dashes, making boss fights and platforming challenges easier. Master this essential skill!
Walkthrough
- 1The Smoke Bomb is not a weapon or a consumable item; it is a Charm that can be equipped before starting a level or boss fight.
- 2To equip the Smoke Bomb, access the Charm selection menu from the shop or before starting a level.
- 3Once equipped, the Smoke Bomb charm replaces the standard dash.
- 4When the player performs a dash (usually by double-tapping a direction or pressing the dash button), they will become briefly invincible. This invincibility allows the player to pass through enemies and most projectiles without taking damage.
- 5This effect is particularly useful for dodging attacks that have difficult-to-avoid patterns or for closing the distance on bosses quickly.
Tips
- The Smoke Bomb is invaluable for learning boss patterns, as it provides a safety net for dodging.
- It can be used offensively to dash through a boss and attack from the other side.
- While the Smoke Bomb offers invincibility, it replaces the standard dash, meaning you lose the ability to parry during a dash. Consider this trade-off when facing enemies or bosses that require frequent parries.
- The Smoke Bomb is especially helpful for the secret bosses and challenges that require precise movement and evasion.
- Experiment with the Smoke Bomb in various situations to understand its full potential and limitations.
