Touhou Gameplay Help Thread #7 - Not just for spell card help after all

[TresserT]

Wait, are you saying you do less damage if you have more than one option firing? I'm kind of confused...

If I have that backwards and you're supposed to only have 1 weaker option firing at a time... that's kind of weird. If that's how it is, do more options do anything for you, aside from better releases?

[ふねん1]

I mean you do less damage with only that one laser compared to when multiple lasers are firing. However, a higher season gauge does still increase the amount of damage that one laser does as well, as you'd expect. The only wonky thing about Winter subs is them firing multiple lasers when you get a new sub, which goes away whenever you stop shooting (this is also forced whenever dialogue appears).

[TresserT]

Oooh, okay. So additional options increase your one laser's damage slightly. Then there's a bug that causes multiple lasers to fire. Thank you.

Is there a reliable way to do Dupion Barrier? I keep getting cheap-shotted by yellow balls spawning on my hitbox.

Yes - just hug Okina's head (there's enough space there to not be hit by the green bullets), and make small movements to dodge the incoming balls.

I've been trying out TH 16 and there's an attack phase, without fail where I will always need to bomb/release.

Satono's signature attack phase. The amulets curve at an angle that seem virtually impossible to dodge before the purple balls even come out. Advice is greatly appreciated because it's seriously pissing me off.

Being at the very bottom of the screen should help you avoid the yellow shots. Release when the green bullets are coming at your way.

Been playing LoLK recently.

How do you get past Clownpiece's Red Rings of Death? After dealing with her first non, first card, second non, and second card for at least 200 tries, I'm mentally fried as to what to do for RRoD.

EDIT: I've managed to get through that AND the rest of Clownpiece's spells. Now to finish the game...

EDIT #2: Does anyone have an Extra-unlocked scorefile for HSiFS on all types? I haven't found one anywhere.
