General DDC Scoring Strats (Sakuya B Edition)
If you haven’t seen my last post (https://necromasterluna.tumblr.com/post/624055747561521152/general-ddc-scoring-strats-marisa-b-edition) go ahead and read that first. Now, time to get into it:
Wait a bit before bombing, you’ll have more bullets on screen to freeze and graze. Of course, don’t wait too long, or else you’ll have less bullets than if you didn’t.
Know the patterns more. You’re using the least damaging B shot (correct me if Reimu B’s damage is less) so expect to have to get into sticky situations and spells that last longer. This is a “most of the time” type of thing, however there’s one below this that can apply in some situations too.
Maximize damage output. If you’re in a situation where you have max power, be more aggressive and stay under the boss to speedkill. If you planned a suicide there, then that helps with this too. However, most of the time, such as boss Kagerou and Yatsuhashi, you’ll have to use the one above.
Try to shotgun for more PIV when you can. Sakuya B works like this: the closer you are to a (mid)boss or enemy, the more PIV you get. So try to shotgun sometimes too. I have noticed her more optimal DPS is when not shotgunning, so do this only when you can afford to lose a fair bit of damage.
And this wraps up shot-only tips, I’ll make some broader strats that can apply to any shot (these are most preferable though) and document my general experience with scoring this game. Till then, adieu~!
