Cuphead: Captain Brineybeard: Expert, No Damage, Peashooter Only, No EX, No Charm, No Super

Difficulty: 5/10 Luck Factor: 3/10 Captain Brineybeard's first three phases simply add more attacks to the same pattern in order to make the fight simply become a crazier and more hectic version of itself as it progresses. On Expert, you must deal with all of the combined attacks of these phases for quite a long time. There are a plethora of ways in which you can make one mistake amidst the chaos and find yourself hit by one of the many attacks likely on screen at that moment. Combinations of the ship's cannonballs and either Captain Brineybeard's octopus gun or the sea dogs summoned by Captain Brineybeard are what most often led to me being overwhelmed and hit. Luckily, the final phase of the fight against Captain Brineybeard's ship, while it lasts a while using the Peashooter, isn't very difficult provided you know how to lure the barrel. The hectic and long third phase is what makes this run have a moderate difficulty.
