IN hard Reimu solo; any tips?
<< < (4/5) > >>
Alice Fact:
Youkai do not have abilities, only humans, unless team skills are considered coming from the youkai (what). The Border team skills do not include a longer counter time.
Zetzumarshen:
I think reading BaitySM's hints about Life Spring Infinity helps. It's on the 2nd or 3rd page of Spellcard Help Topic thread.

May be a timeout replay helps?
LHCling:
Might as well throw a recent (i.e. just then) replay in.

Or two.

Somebody's uploading a load of StB scenes.

This sums it up.

--- Quote from: BaitySM ---The tip? Stay under Kaguya. Don't worry about the lasers spawning, but worry about the lasers disappearing. They take an exceedingly large amount of time to start up, and have (not as much, but still there) a rather mild delay time (in which they "disappear"). The stars I trust you know how to do. It's a matter of reading for gaps.

And from the second post:

--- Quote from: BaitySM ---Also, I forgot to add that every time Kaguya fires the familiar (+2 broken rings), she will always move towards you in terms of the horizontal direction. Never directly vertically. She can and will move diagonally and horizontally though. So it is safe standing directly underneath (center of sprite as well, for directing purposes).

The stars unfortunately, is all about reading them coming from below you. Which is the reason why most people seem to clip them. Preventing Kaguya from moving in the same horizontal direction twice (hint: she "follows" you) might help you to keep a rhythm going.

Actually you can, and that's not fair.

No, but it does unlock the spellcard which is the only reason you would ever think of playing Reimu Solo on Hard difficulty. The familiars makes dealing damage almost impossible when compared to using a youkai partner. In the end the game isn't very fun playing as Reimu Solo. You'd want to go through it once for the last word and never do it again. That's why there is no reason not to use 7 lives. Its not something you'd want to try several times to do.
Heartbeam:
Such a setup also exists for the extra challenge just like no focus and no bomb self-imposed handicaps.  I can't argue against starting with seven lives if the intent is completion through any means.
