 * '''Normal bumps:''' 1 damage per tick
 * '''Sub weapons:''' 2 damage per tick (for a decent green weapon, but it varies)
-* '''Spinning bumps:''' 3 damage per tick
+* '''Spinning bumps:''' ~3 damage per tick against majority of durable enemies. 16(!) damage per tick against zakos.
-Now, one quirk of dealing damage is that, after receiving damage, enemies enter a "taking damage" color state and are invincible for 18 frames (294 milliseconds). This means that weaker forms of damage like normal shots will cancel out the greater damage of sub weapons and spinning bumps. Theoretically, the fastest way to kill any enemy vulnerable to bump attacks would be to do a constant stream of spinbump damage. When possible, normal shot damage should be avoided if it's overlapping with a higher damage source, either sub weapons or spinbumps.
+Another quirk of dealing damage is that each enemy has a cap on how much damage they can receive per tick. This "enemy vulnerability" stat is primarily affects how much damage can be dealt with a single spinbump. While zakos have effectively no defense against the massive 16 base damage of spinbumps, more durable enemies typically have a much lower per-tick damage cap (usually 3~4). A secondary use of this mechanic is to give temporary invulnerability to the boss of Outcast Castle during the mid-fight recovery cutscene; despite player attacks still triggering the boss's "taking damage" color state, no damage can be dealt until the cutscene is complete.

-Probably the most consistently useful application of this is against the boss of Basalna City for characters with good wall brakes / enemy brakes. When [[Shippu_Mahou_Daisakusen/Strategy#Wild Wyvern|Wild Wyvern]] spawns, his AI script will be different based on the player's speed. Generally, enemies that spawn while moving fast will take a greater distance to fully activate, so by spawning the boss at the maximum speed and then abruptly dropping speed, the boss will need a greater distance to activate, but with the very low speed, the player will take quite awhile to traverse that distance, and thus the boss is stuck not doing anything for a long time. You can use this time to set up your spinkills on the boss's parts.

 |content = In this game, as is common in many shmups, the player can sometimes '''exercise better control of the ship''' by moving diagonally rather than orthagonally. The player's ship moves more slowly along an axis if some of that movement is similarly spent moving through a perpendicular axis. In other words, you move quickly to the west if you head straight west, but you move more slowly to the west if you head northwest, as some of your movement is now going north rather than ''all'' west. In this game, motion against a screen edge or wall still counts as motion, and thus reduces your movement speed. Thus, if you hold ''down'' against the edge of the screen and tap ''left'', you move more slowly/precisely than if you just press ''left''.
