Uranus

Uranus (ウラノス) is one of the second four Stardroids Mega Man must fight in Mega Man V for the Game Boy. He has a bull-like appearance and is the Stardroid with the greatest physical strength. Uranus uses his brute physical strength to attack with Deep Digger, which involves lifting boulders up from the ground to throw them at enemies. During the refight against him on the Wily Star, it is possible (but difficult) to use Deep Digger to cause him to fall into a pit, which will destroy him.

Strategy
Uranus starts the pattern by activating Deep Digger, which consists of picking a block of the floor and throwing it at Mega Man, then splitting into four debris that cause the same amount of damage. The player has to avoid it by jumping or sliding, then getting out of the debris' way. It also works if the player, with good timing, goes at the gap left by the picked block, so every attack misses. Now, the plater must take in count that every time he lands from a jump, he causes an earthquake. He then jumps on place and then to the other side of the screen, then jumping twice on place and making the ceiling close off half of the screen, instantly killing Mega Man if he is on that half of the screen. To avoid it, the player has to slide under him when Uranus jumps to the other side, then standing as close to him as possible (but not very close or Mega Man takes heavy contact damage) so the crushing misses. He will finish the pattern by jumping and causing a longer earthquake than others, then restarts the pattern. He is vulnerable to attacks at every moment, but interestingly enough, his mighty defense causes him to take the same damage from a charged Mega Arm than an uncharged shot. His weakness is the Break Dash, but it is very difficult to hit him with it, as most of the time Uranus is making earthquakes after jumping, thus making it way better for beginners to use uncharged shots instead. The Break Dash defeats him in four dashes.

Another strategy is that, during the rematch against him on the Wily Star, it is possible to use Deep Digger to cause him to fall into a pit, instantly defeating him. However, it is difficult, as Mega Man can fall into the pit made by him too.
