wow it happened
happy new year DLW, despite st2 and the st4 boss imbalance, I really like this game - tysm for making this fangame AR
anyway time for patterns
1st non look up and see where the red laser goes - blue goes almost to the middle of reds
1st spell became a lot simpler when I started directing 2 glow orbs to the left side in the beginning
2nd non formation - easy to learn so w/e
2nd spell the snowflake is a clipdeath city, avoid it at all costs
3rd non again learning formations
3rd spell the hardest thing about this spell is remembering that it is this spell :lesanae: aya shotgun ensures you dont do a 3rd wave
4th non blue lasers go almost to the same place as red lasers this time
4th spell desire path more like me when I desire to find the lost bitrate in the path
5th non again its just a simple formation
5th spell honestly I dont know how to reliably do this I just follow the covers and as soon as I see a gap I dash - aya speed helps
6th non you wanna switch to the next laser gap when the bullets are about to reach you - please do it more safely than I did on first wave, as for the mentos, I used to hate that but staying in middle and doing it mostly focused helped, weird
6th spell I Sure Love Spending Some Lives For Cats And Kittens, Meow~
ok but seriously there is a lot going on here, and if you wanna do this safely, you won't kill it quickly. you need to know when the next wave of cats and kittens will come, and you also need to know when miyu will collect the furball and throw it again. spoiler: these two are not synced, which is the entire problem with this spell. once you learn the intervals, it becomes a lot more reliable. aya speed is godly here and kosuzu's lock-on is handy too
7th non me when st6 seija 2nd midnon with double cross
7th spell sometimes you can get very... interesting waves. other than that it is pretty simple
8th non I swear to god What Is This. first SoHW now this. why do the developers love putting an obscenely difficult 8th non for no reason??? it doesnt look that bad in the video because it was good rng (also last time I did it I capped it more than I died to it but that doesnt excuse it) - sometimes you get such disgusting waves it is impossible to make anything out of it. I tried going to the sides and while it does give a bit more space, the same problem still exists (and also you have less room to back down to, which is another problem on its own)
8th spell streaming with Minor Interference
9th spell (shoutouts to tails41yoshi for telling me to shiftspam for this) the shiftspam strat helps quite a bit, if you unfocus and move too quickly you have to face the stars from previous wave which are still mostly stationary. second phase gets quite fast near the end so be careful
final phase me when visiblity - just make sure you know your surroundings so that you dont get hit by a laser that was covered by the galaxy spawning effect.
final spell dodging while mostly bottomhugging works
"why not reimu kasen? you spend most of the time unfocused on 6th spell so you would get the most out of the homing" yeah the thing is Reimu Has Lost Her Legs She Cannot Move, 4 unfocus speed is not something I would like to have on that spell. aya's speed is just too useful for me to give it up. the speed also helps on 5th spell and survival.
I don't think aya kosuzu makes anything particularly more difficult on extra. if anything, they help quite a bit. reimu kasen and sakuya reisen are just too slow for my taste so they are out of the picture. every other shot has to put up with 8th non as well so its not like I have to dodge 2 bad overlaps of it. youmu koishi, marisa yuuka and sanae seija would all have to stay under miyu for quite a bit on the cat spell compared to aya kosuzu (no, you cant just lock your potions with koishi and go all focus mode, you will die), which just makes it more dangerous.
their overall low power is not very nice for maingame though
didnt think I would use anyone other than marisa yuuka lmao but here we are - also this happened on a completely random attempt
