How to Beat Cursa

Boss Fight Walkthrough

1	After defeating Darkmess Edge and making the final preparations, like purchasing items from the Salesbot, take the golden Rabbid cannon and prepare to face Cursa! Note: Be sure to save your game before pushing forward, as you won't be able to come back to this world after clearing the game.
2	Cursa!!! (Final Boss Battle) For the final battle, all your Heroes will be split into groups of three over three areas, so be sure to manage your team accordingly before starting the battle. Note: The first set of Heroes will be Mario, Peach, and Rabbid Rosalina.
3	To deal massive damage against Cursa's Astral Arms, have a hero jump on the open trampolines to release a giant spike, then have Cursa's targeted Hero stand next to it before ending your turn.
4	Do the same strategy for the next turn, but before moving the targeted Hero, have Luigi use Steely Stare first to whittle down the Astral Arm's health whenever the targeted Hero moves. Note: The second set of Heroes will be Luigi, Rabbid Mario, and Rabbid Luigi.
5	Follow the same strategy as the previous two for the next turn. Instead of Steely Stare, use Edge's Stormblade to deal more damage. Note: The third set of Heroes will be Edge, Bowser, and Rabbid Peach. At the end of this turn, the Hero set will return to the first one.
6	Before moving to the next phase, take the time to heal your team and make any necessary adjustments to your party. Note that the Hero lineup and set order remain the same. Note: Using every Signature Ability will be helpful for this phase to maximize support buffs and damage output per turn.
7	For Cursa's final phase, target the Star posts to power up Rosalina to deal massive damage to Cursa! To deal the finishing blow, you will have to max out Rosalina's gauge three times. Note: Have one Hero dedicated to charging up Rosalina's gauge while the other two take down nearby foes. Once the coast is clear, have everyone target the Star post!
*	Tip: Cursa can also push your Heroes back, so be prepared to chain Team Jumps until the Star posts are within reach once more.
8	After Rosalina attacks Cursa for the third time, a cutscene will play out and your party will defeat Cursa once and for all! Note: After clearing the game, you will be sent to the title screen where you can load your file and complete the rest of the Side Quests you may have missed!

The Spark Hunters are mysterious figures used by Cursa to gather Sparks. It is implied that they are under her Control, and thus may not be entirely malevolent.

While drifting through the galaxy, it slowly gain sentience until it reached its current form

Cursa's true form is later revealed to be the Megabug, the final boss of Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. Thought to have been defeated, the megabug slowly drifted throughout the galaxy while feeding off energy, until it gained sentience and achieved its current form.

Currently Possessing Rosalina

As Rosalina is the guardian of the galaxy, Cursa was Naturally attracted to her power and headed to the Comet Observatory to steal it. To protect both the Comet Observatory and the Lumas that inhabit it Rosalina attempted to fight back against Cursa, eventually falling under its control in the process.

Searches for Sparks to Gain Power

Although Rosalina has been absorbed by Cursa, her power is difficult to keep in check. As such, Cursa, along with the Spark Hunters, searches the Galaxy for Sparks to increase its strength, and in turn, take complete control over Rosalina.
