X-002....oh I mean...RX-12 Cross The Rubicon (Stage 4.0)
I'm gonna start the commentary of the run with: it's not a perfect run. There're methods that I don't know or at least I know (like 5.0 using Sleipnir to farm just a little more points) but I need to train or to discover other methods. The stages involved primarily are stage 2.0, 5.0 and 6.2. The other ones are almost "perfect" imo but who knows, maybe someone will find a new way.
But let's talk about the run:
Stage 1.0 I farmed points using Anchor Force on Jormungandr and Dobkeratops. Lightning Wave to kill quickly enemies. About Jormungandr in particular I'm not sure if I destroyed it before or after the 124% score.
I'm not good at Stage 2.0 so I used Sleipnir with Balmung. Balmung can destroy every Poffli (the orange balls) that spawns giving you a lot of score points. Didn't picked Yellow Power Up cause it's not necessary but the position where it was wasn't fantastic. Yateoblox killed in no time thanks to Defensive Force DX's Blue Laser and Balmung.
Nothing in particular to say about Stage 3.0. Ladylove with Standard Force DX detached allows you to kill every enemy of the stage and destroy Battleship parts with ease but some sections are pretty brutal even if you use Standard DX like the section at half stage.
Cross the Rubicon helped me a lot during Stage 4.0 but I was really unlucky with Force AI preventing me to kill some enemies of the stage. Even this issue I almost got top Stage Score (Which I did with Strike Bomber, don't ask how cause I don't remember). Also Mini Burst Wave Cannon helped me to cheese boss.
Ladylove for Stage 5.0 cause, once again, Standard Force DX detached allows you to kill almost every enemy with ease, even Ouroboros if he cooperate. The only thing you need is that he must follow you. In the beginning of the fight he went down which is caused by the Wave Cannon shot too late and this is not good since it might be possible that the Amphibians that spawns can prevent you to move where you want causing a almost certain death with the method I use. Ladylove is not the best ship to obtain score points on 5.0. For now Sleipnir is the best but let's say that it is just because if done correctly Ouroboros allows you to kill every single amphibian (they're not unlimited) recovering the points you lose during the stage and Sleipnir (but in general Defensive Forces) loses a lot of them.
On Stage 6.2 I tried to pick every power up possible to obtain more points possible. I lost one Gains at the beginning, then killed every Tablock and every part of Otthru (or Outslay). SIN-G wasn't easy and I almost died to him. one second more on that fight and I had to start over again cause all lifes must be used on 7.2. btw during SIN-G fight the blue flames gives you score points so the best way to achieve a really high score is destroying every single flame and kill SIN-G when he's almost time outing.
7.2 is the best stage to farm Score Points thanks to Demonic Lovers check and Hades. Speaking of Demonic Lovers they have 3 (maybe 4) parts which gives you points if you deal damage to said parts. I divided them in: Head, Chest and Butt. I don't think I have to say anything more than that.
Speaking more seriously as you can see the strategy is to wait until 200% score, attach Anchor Force to one specific Lover destroying every single part of it and after that kill him, destroy ONE part of the second Lover and then suicide, repeat for 2nd and 3rd life and congratulations you have the posibility to achieve 1M points on a single stage. You need to destroy the entire wall (STRONG charge and shoot when you see two lines of them then BEAM until done), every enemy right after, letting the ball to grab your Force to obtain massive points, survive the first thrusters, the second ones and then go inside boss without attaching Force to it (the chain'll deal damage preventing to obtain points).
I'm really happy that I achieved such score. btw I'm not joking but I find more easy to do score runs than normal runs, weird...
Lastly, here's the Scores obtained on Stages:
Stage 1.0 : 157,687
Stage 2.0 : 200,863
Stage 3.0 : 233,318
Stage 4.0 : 259,213
Stage 5.0 : 239,269
Stage 6.2 : 305,120
Stage 7.2 : 1,012,665
Total Score: 2,408,135
Hope You Enjoy!!!
