Charging begins with a sneeze
With the sneeze ready, starting a beam charge also triggers the short-range sneeze. Tainted Azazel does not use the standalone Hemoptysis item's double-tap control for this innate attack.

Tainted Azazel:
Sneeze, curse and beam
Use the charging sneeze to curse nearby enemies, follow with the thin beam and remember that you start without flight.
Understand the system
Connect the short attack to the long one.
Curse before the beam
The sneeze can apply a temporary Brimstone curse to an enemy it hits. Your thin beam benefits against that cursed target. A sneeze that misses does not grant this target-specific benefit.
No starting flight
Tainted Azazel has clipped wings and starts without flight. Pits remain a movement barrier until another effect grants flight, even though the beam can attack across them.

Before the next action
- Check the approach before charging. Move close enough for the sneeze only when the enemy pattern leaves a safe opening.
- Once the sneeze connects, keep the enemy in the beam line while finishing the charge. Avoid forcing a close-range hit into contact damage.
- Use safe ground to reposition. Recheck whether you actually gained flight before trying to cross a pit.
