Pharaoh Man

While lacking the ability to give enemies a curse that causes their faces to melt off, Pharaoh Man is capable of melting faces off with various sun-powered attacks. Pharaoh Man normally just has access to a high-damaging Pharaoh Shot, and a close range punch. However, pressing altfire or special while charging the shot instead gives you a Pharaoh Wave in a straight rapid-fire. Coupled with the ability to fly in a straight line for a limited amount of time, and Pharaoh Man is a flexible character with a good amount of attack options that cover different situations.

Overview
Pharaoh Man has average movement and health stats; 100 health, 0.8 base movement, no wall jumps. For that, make sure you make good use of your reload ability detailed below to get around if you need to make an urgent move. You can also switch your altfire and reload in the CBM Menu.

Main
Pharaoh Shot

Pharaoh Shot is a chargeable mainfire the begins to charge a large projectile. This projectile increases in both damage and blast radius as the shot is charged. The charged shot appears above your head as you charge it up, and can damage enemies that somehow manage to get close to you at that range.

Alt
Aura Float/Pharaoh Waves

Enveloping himself in an aura, Pharaoh Man begins to fly forward at high speed with a small damaging around you as you hover. You're unable to move up or down in this state, but you can steer your flight by aiming yourself in the appropriate direction until you let go of altfire or if you hold it for too long. If altfire is used when you have a full charge, you shoot out four Pharaoh Waves, each of which do 15 damage. Connecting all 4 of these does more damage than a fully charged Pharaoh Shot (Four Pharaoh Waves do 60, one fully charged Pharaoh Shot does 40), so good aim is key if you want to maximize usage of Pharaoh Waves.

Reload
Regal Haymaker

A melee punch, taken out of the Ruby Spears scene. Does 40 damage and knocks enemies back, but its lack of range really only makes it useful in a pinch or at close quarters. You can use it to punch your enemies into a more preferred range or punch your enemies into a pit.
