[rsy_type1]

There are no damage penalty for plural options,
However ZUN sets a damage penalty when you shoot on top of  an enemy AT LEAST FROM TH11.
[attach=1]
Shots and bombs do full damage to nonspells and kodamas , do 1/7 damage to spellcards.
Numbers stand for damage per second to nonspells(spells).
Junko has a larger hitbox than other bosses.


Reimu:
main : 14(per shot)*12(per second)*2(way)= 560  (for all power levels) . 80 dps to spellcards.
unfocused sub: 
1p 14*12 =168  , all：728 ,sc:104
2p 13*12*2=312 ,all：872 ,sc:124.6

outer needles do less damage than the inner.

1p 8*20*2 =320 ,all:880 ,sc:125.7
2p 4(out)*20*2+6(in)*20*2=400 ,all:960 ,sc:137.1
3p 5*20*2+6*20*4 .
however only 4 needles can hit the enemy at the same time.
damage:480  all:1040，sc:148.6.
4p 4(out)*20*4+5(middle)*20*2+6(in)*20*2. 
middle 4 ways:1000 (148.6) .

6 ways for Junko: 1160(165.7).

bomb
2790~5445(369~714)

Marisa

main
20 shots per second.
unfocused sub
lasers hit 15 times per second , ignoring ontop damage penalty.
focused sub
missles explode 6 times per shot.

1p 12*6*4=288 ,all:848 ,sc:121.1
2p 8*6*4*2=384 ,all:944 ,sc:134.9
3p 8*6*4*3=576 ,all:1136,sc:162.3
4p 8*6*4*4=480 ,all:1328,sc:189.8

bomb
4040~5980(575~866)


Sanae

bomb

bombing ontop of the enemy will do more damage.
however in general , bombing and shooting downsides  does more damage than bombing close and  shooting unfoused.



btw a new shot/bomb analysis will come out soon(translated from http://tieba.baidu.com/p/4020141977).

[Failure McFailFace]

So Marisa is the most powerful character in this game. It's just a shame it's hard for me to get to all of the enemies to get that 100% shoot 200 graze.

[Serela]

Yeah, Marisa may be the most powerful but she does also have the least range. Not only does that make resources harder to gather, this can also really negatively impact damage to bosses on many attacks, so in practice the other shots often probably about equal or outdo her. Against Sagume and attacks where you can stay right under the boss the whole time, though, she does do pretty heavy damage.

It's neat to see how close the other shots are, though. They're really set apart by utility (Reimu hitbox and sliiight power advantage, Sanae shot superiority and shotgunned bombs, Reisen's ridiculous shield and resource gathering) and not by damage.

I didn't know about Reisen the Junkoslayer though, ahaha.

Does mashing the focus button as Reisen increase the damage dealt, Malice Cannon-style? Cuz I remember that rumor floating around since the first demo.

that may  increase 10%  shot power or less.
