I'm trying to learn what's up with the what on this stage.
The unchain enemies that appear alternating on the left and right of the stage will drop life pieces - kill the smaller things on the left masters first for pieces, while you want to kill the master first on the right side. I don't have solid strategies for either one yet. :V

Many of these enemies will give more spirits if you get close to them, but I'm also not very good at that either.

The humanoid robots near the end of the stage will drop life fragments if you kill them -after- they try to swipe you into the damaging area.

Rex Cavalier will regenerate most of his parts a few seconds after you break them. If you kill the main body quickly, you get more time in that "bonus" phase that drops the hundreds of tokens.

Apparently you get more spirits or something if you let the red circle almost reach you before defeating Rex Cavalier at the end.

I got hit once during the boss, but aside from that I'm getting pretty comfortable here. Hopefully I won't need to practice Rex Cavalier strats that aren't above 7 stella, because he does have different patterns entirely depending on your stella.

Hellsinker is pretty fun, if not a bit generous with lives and regenerating bombs. I'm not exactly sure how it ended up on my computer, but that's okay, too.

Xanthez Kagura has some odd quirks. She has a finite number of high power bullets before she has to reload for a few seconds. Tapping Z quickly then holding lets you enter a Fullauto Fire mode that quickly expends the rest of your munitions. Releasing Z after holding it for a few moments uses a medium range, piercing spear attack. There are four variations of the "spinning blade" used with X, depending on whether you're holding Z and how much charge you have. Lastly, the laser beam deals incredible damage at 5 Sol, but is probably the most underwhelming bomb at 3/4 Sol.
