Assault Android Cactus (PC/Steam)
Version 151007b (2015 Oct 07)

Stage 5-3: Convection
4P Virtual Player Count + Mega Weapons
S+ run using Holly


So I decided to take a little break from Liquorice by taking a closer look at another of the new additions to the game: Mega Weapons! And what better place to test out what they're capable of than in a frenetic "sink or swim" environment? So I decided to try them out on VPC4 Convection, figuring that if there were any significant weaknesses (or strengths) to using the Mega Weapons, VPC4 Convection would probably reveal them fairly quickly. =)

Based on what I've seen so far... it looks like the Witch Beam team did a pretty good job of balancing the Mega Weapons. Of course, since the Mega Weapons do replace your character's normal Secondary weapon... and since each character's playstyle was balanced according to that specific Primary+Secondary combination... using a Mega Weapon means you're going to have to play your character differently (sometimes quite differently!) than normal.


Holly's Mega Seeker... as expected, has basically the same advantages and disadvantages as her normal Seeker (auto-aim and easier to hit enemies in general, but weaker than normal bullets and harder to target specific enemies). However, the sheer number of bullets that the Mega Seeker gives you... makes up for quite a lot. =) So while you won't be able to instantly destroy a high health enemy, like you can with the Cannonball... the Mega Seeker, due to its auto-aim nature, will have a lot more guaranteed damage with a lot less effort (i.e. you won't have to line up a whole lot of enemies in a single line)... which can definitely be useful on a crowded stage with enemies attacking from all sides. =)

Anyway, here's my first ever Mega Weapon Holly vs. VPC4 Convection S+... hope you enjoy!
