Favorite character and why?

[boof™]

Only played about an hour so far but mine is NoLegs w/ the default weapon. I've been doing really good with him so I haven't tried many of the other characters. Who is your favorite and why?

Anna because I like the spammy nature of the leaf explosion which is decent for snipping key targets as well as the lock on attack which serves its own obvious purpose.

Anna because I like the spammy nature of the leaf explosion which is decent for snipping key targets as well as the lock on attack which serves its own obvious purpose.

I've found Anna is pretty versatile, The base homing shots are nice (Stacked with the fact you fire multiple shots with the gauge charged), But most of her sub-weapons are equally useful.

Nature Shield is extremely effective by design. It depletes the sub-weapon gauge at such a slow rate, When the gauge because empty the weapon is actually able to stay active while it's charging. Choosing to intentionally destroy one of the four orbiting leafs provides near-indefinite activation time, Draining just over 1% of the sub-weapon gauge every couple seconds. The fact this sub-weapon fires independently is also a huge help, Stacked with the fact Anna's shots home in on enemies you can focus entirely on dodging incoming rounds.

The duration with Nature Shield is ironically the problem of boss levels, Handicaps reducing your damage means you just don't have enough time to let this slowly sap away at the bosses health. It's a nice passive tool, But it lacks in dealing large amounts of damage within a short time period. Luckily however, You can opt out for Razor Lead which can be purchased from the shop.

Razor Leaf opporates similar to Matt's default sub-weapon. It shoots a stream of leaves forwards, "Basically strengthing your main weapon". This makes up for the one thing the previous sub-weapon lacked. You should have no problem with handicaps using that.



All that being said though, Personally I prefer Dry Nolegs. The Bullet Hell sub-weapon is the most devastating thing in the game, Especially when stacked with an instant recharge from diamonds.

I actually have several that I swap between for different purposes.

My favorite General Purpose Character is Slime Bunny/Mystic Wave/Magic Sweet. This combination gives her decent mobility and a rather high-damage setup with good horizontal range, which is pretty effective against basically anything. Kind of fails in bosses with difficult patterns as the subweapon takes time to burn through health.

For getting those Perfect Stage Clears, Dry NoLegs/Bullet Hell/Spiky Platform is my go-to character. Since Bullet Hell has such a ridiculous range, it easily shreds waves of enemies, allowing the tracking main weapon to finish the job. Collect the Perfect Diamond and repeat with full weapon charge. Spiky Platform just helps in case a deathbomb is absolutely necessary. Has difficulty when dealing with stronger single enemies since Bullet Hell is great on multiple low-health targets, but damage is dramatically lowered when there's one large enemy in the middle of the screen zoning you with bullets.

When it comes to Boss Killing, Anna/Razor Leaf/Big Leaf is my favorite. The combination of a high-burst-damage subweapon and a tracking main weapon makes it easier to focus on dodging the barrage of (if dynamic bullets are on) blinding glowy projectiles since the subweapon gauge drains crazy fast but deals good damage. She's totally effective in regular stages too; just swap to Anna/Nature Shield/Log Slice for sub gauge-efficient consistent damage (plus coin grabbing range).

Shoutout to Natz/Raging Firestorm (who I think is totally under-represented) for having some good consistent damage at the rather high cost of movement speed with no Costume to increase it. She's fun and her other subs have some versailty as well.

[Matirion Maeronta]

Dry NoLegs with the second weapon (the spread one) and the default costume. It lets me focus on grazing while almost always being able to hit things.

[Star Baker]

Let's see...

Anna with either her spread or her shield, because the shield has a habit of sticking around after the special bar runs out.
NoLegs using the drone-type star. It's that good.
Lance, any Lance, works out okay for me. Kinda situational.
DryLegs can be summed up in one word: If you ain't using Bullet Hell, you're in bullet hell. The rapid-fire wave-mashing death-cone of slash-shots causes screenwipes lake crazy.
HalcyonicFalconX works best with her mine-type weapon. This can be used to easily slip through the eyeball's defenses, as well as being fairly spammy, a limited, versatile range (it doesn't go to the top of the screen) and being able to take large chunks off of bosses.

[Arriator]

Anna/Nature Shield/Big Leaf or Log Slice.
Razed through the entire game with it. (On Normal, but still.)
For bosses I mainly keep the Shield up to deliver constant damage while letting her main charge to 100 for heavy burst damage.

[Joni]

Gotta say my main focus lies with Lance/Plasma Beam/Mythril Wings. Absolutely my go-to choice on higher difficulties, even if it's probably not the greatest combo. I seem to be doing pretty well with him, anyway, although that may be my bias towards liking the character stopping me from choosing someone else.

My other option would actually be Slime Bunny/Mystic Wave/Magic Sweet though, which I mostly use for the endless stages for quick destruction of tightly packed waves.

[areaofmobeus]

Dry nolegs with its OP secondary on most normal stages. Sometimes slime bunny with Mystic Wave, depending on stage. Lance + Plasma on most bosses. Only ever used the other characters for achievements.

[Andran]

Dry Nolegs. Fast movement speed, a seeker main weapon that let's you focus on dodging and a burst weapon (default secondary) - what's not to like? I would probably pick exactly this combination if you could freely choose any part from any character. I picked the counterbombing dress since I used to miss the occasional counterbomb even though I tried very hard to instantly click after being hit.

[Andran]

Upon further testing, I have to agree that Dro NoLegs with BulletHell secondary seems stronger for most normal levels, including survival.

Basically, starting from wave 2, you can fully discharge your secondary weapon, the collect the diamond, the fully discharge the secondary weapon again. This kills most of the small mobs on the screen, making the resulting bullet pattern easy enough to finish with the primary weapon. Then, your secondary weapon is at maximum charge at the beginning of the next wave again. Almost feels a bit like an exploit.

For bosses, I still prefer the first primary weapon. Using the same technique, you can deplete half of a boss's health before the wave even really begins.

[memethievingmaniac]

I still don't have the expansion, but I like NoLegs with the immobile star turret secondary.

[dkl_shen]

Lance. I feel I can clear the waves fastest with his weapons. Clear the screen faster = less bullets and longer survival.

[Eeb]

Lance because he is a cutie :3c

[Joe Many]

I prefer phyrnna and dry nolegs. Both have sub weapons that are really good against bosses(Bullet hell for D-nolegs sonic boom on Phyrnna)

[memethievingmaniac]

now that I actually have the full game I can say that I like phyranna the best
