Damage Differences Between Ships

[Tack7800]

So I've been wanting to get back to Crimzon Clover for awhile but going in, I've been curious as to what the difference is between the damage that Type-I, II, and III do. I recall Type-Z does an incredibly high amount of damage relative to the other ships but I'm unsure how much more II and III do compared to I, both for lock-on and standard shot. Would anyone be able to let me know please?

apart from the Type-Z, the Type-III has the strongest shot type. it's also has the highest movement speed and slowest lock-on. i believe in terms of raw damage it also has the strongest lock-on, but it might actually have lower DPS due to the lock-on speed

the Type-I is sort of the all-rounder. it has the weakest shot type, fastest lock-on, and average movement speed. easy to use, nothing special.

I don't have much experience with the Type-II, but from what i can tell it seems to be pretty well-rounded in terms of damage and speed. the playstyle mostly revolves around the variable-width shot, and i imagine the effectiveness of this ship depends on how well you can make use of that feature.

there are some other differences with regard to scoring. the Type-Z gets a penalty to break rate, meaning the number of times you can double-break in a stage is reduced comapred to other ships. i believe the Type-III suffers from this to some degree as well.

it's been a while since i've done any scoring so i may have missed some things, feel free to correct me.

I think the stats basically go like this:

---

Type I:

Speed - Slow

Firepower - Low

Spread - High

Lock-on - Fast

(Low speed and firepower, but wide spread and fast lock-on- likely best for dealing with large groups of weaker enemies)

---

Type II:

Speed - Medium

Firepower - Medium

Spread - Medium

Lock-on - Medium

(Well-rounded, jack-of-all trades; gun drones can also be positioned in different places by holding the lock-on)

---

Type III:

Speed - Very fast

Firepower - High

Spread - Low

Lock-on - Slow

(High speed and firepower, but low spread and slow lock-on- likely best for taking down individually powerful enemies quickly)

---

Type Z

Speed - Fast

Firepower - Very High

Spread - Very High

Lock-on - Fast

(Strongest all-around fighter, only disadvantage is a slightly slower speed than Type III)
