Heavy Tuba Gunner

The Heavy Tuba Gunner was a member of the Noble Tuba Knights.

Backstory
He was fiercely loyal to his two million brothers and his son, Tuba King II. In the initial phases of the epic war he was placed in command of the Tuba Gunner units until the death of his son after which he resigned his post. To which he had returned home to mourn. The community caught wind and offered to help make a memorial all together in order to help overcome such a tragic death.

Gameplay
Heavy Tuba Gunner is one of the few bosses in the game to have two different possible forms upon fighting him. His normal form and the "Pissed Off" form. The pissed off form will trigger if a party member wears either, Tuba Wizard's armor, Tuba Knight's armor, Tuba Gunman's armor, or if a former member of the brass kingdom is in the party. It is easy to tell if this state was triggered as he will call the party murderers and/or traitors, eyes will glow red and smoke will bellow from his helmet. This state not only raises all of his stats but his fighting style will become more aggressive. He is also considered one of the hardest bosses in the game, especially if fought in the "Pissed Off" form.

His armor protects him quite well from most ranged attacks while his own are still quite deadly. It is recommended to get in close with a weapon that balances armor piercing capabilities as well as not restricting mobility too much, such as a Trombones. Further more dealing with him swiftly is the best option as his Pissed Off state can trigger if he remains on low health for too long.
