Weapon Tiers

A Tier: Mega Shot (Blue)

• (~) When not shooting, it starts charging a sphere of energy in front of the ship, which deals damage to enemies at close range; however, the damage doesn't seem to be very high, making it more of a risk and potentially not worth utilizing (needs more research)
• (+) Best damage potential with rapid fire
• (+) Fantastic vertical coverage
• (+) Pairs great with Thruster sub-function due to a persistent hitbox when firing single-shot bursts, and the side lasers from the Thruster's options when rapid firing
  • (+) Uniquely, this is the only weapon that is directly enhanced by equipping the Thruster sub-function!
• (-) Weak crowd control ability without a Thruster equipped
• (-) Limited horizontal range
• (-) Extremely difficult to use against some bosses (such as the Stage 5 boss)

B Tier: Homing Fire (Red)

• (~) Prioritizes ground enemies over flying enemies
• (+) Highly versatile weapon
• (+) Great damage with point-blanking + rapid fire, potentially rivaling Mega Shot in damage
• (+) Excellent crowd control
• (+) Angled bullet movement gives good accuracy
• (-) Only two volleys can be on screen at once
• (-) Fairly slow bullet travel speed
• (-) Reckless rapid-fire can create problematic situations in zako rushes

C Tier: Psycho Beam (Purple)

• (~) Prioritizes flying enemies over ground enemies
• (+) Moderate to good damage potential
• (+) Large bullet trails
• (+) As a homing weapon, it allows you to position yourself in safe positions (extremely useful in most boss fights)
• (-) Only one volley can be on screen at once
• (-) Extremely weak point-blank weapon
• (-) Bends and homes in wide arcs, making it difficult to hit enemies with when they are within certain ranges or positions on screen
• (-) Slow refire rate

D Tier: V-Laser (Green)

• (+) Persistent hitboxes by holding the Fire button
• (+) Pairs well with the Thruster, making it good for tearing down big groups of popcorn enemies
• (+) No bullet travel time -- press the button to instantly start dealing damage
• (-) Very low damage weapon
• (-) Huge blind spot in the center
• (-) Horrible to useless for point blanking
• (-) Severely underpowered in almost all boss encounters in the game
• (-) Awful earsore of a sound effect when firing the weapon
