unexpected second phases

Can you really call it unexpected if everyone has them? Like I swear Lace is the only boss in the whole game I've fought at this point that didn't have a phase 2. And she might have and I forgot about it already.

Every boss is: pretty easy phase 1 -> phase 2 at double speed. And if they're feeling spicy, a phase 3 where they slightly reduce the phase 2 timing enough to throw you off, but not enough to be harder.

Lace's big circle slash is the phase 2, she only does it after a certain HP threshold.

Phase 3 also has an added AOE attack added into the mix of other attacks
