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)
- (~) Homing ability prioritizes airborne enemies
- (+) Highly versatile weapon
- (+) Great damage with point-blanking + rapid fire, potentially rivaling Mega Shot in damage
- (+) Excellent crowd control
- (+) Sharp angled bullet movement gives the weapon good overall 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
- (-) In boss fights, when not point-blanking, volleys are more likely to home in on destructible parts instead of the base of the boss itself
C Tier: Psycho Beam / Psychic Beam (Purple)
- (~) Homing ability prioritizes grounded enemies
- (+) Moderate to good damage potential
- (+) Large bullet trails that deal damage
- (+) 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
Basic Strategy
- An important part of routing in Dogyuun involves a combination of ship positioning and your weapon/function loadout. Experiment and find out what equipment will be best for every situation.
- Although the bomb sub-function is a one-time use, it deals tremendous amounts of damage, often enough to cause total boss part destruction on bosses, and instantly kill most mini-bosses in the game. It also provides a hefty amount of invincibility and deletes bullets from the screen. It can be good to keep one handy when you know the situation calls for it.
- You can still take advantage of both sub-functions with the super ship. Try tagging in a second player and fusing with their ship if you need the extra firepower. Remember that two-player also forgoes the use of checkpoints, making it a much less difficult 1cc (although I guess it's technically a 2cc?).
- Memorize the color order that the pods cycle through (red, blue, purple, green). This order will always be the same.
- Weapon pods that are freshly opened will always open starting with the same color in all runs. This means that if you open up a weapon capsule, and it opens up as a green weapon, it will always open up as a green weapon in that particular area of the map on every run. You can take advantage of this to plan your equipment routes ahead of time.
