Final layout of a route through the obscenely hard Stage 6.1. There are two things that make this route work:
1) Purposely not shooting any of the triangles on the screen aside from one or two that approach - this is because the entire stage is static and consistent (though rank has some minor influence), so if you approach the stage the same way, the green bouncing shots will always move the same way too. Therefore, attaching the Force Device to the front works best here.
2) Most Wave Cannons actually have a taller hitbox than they appear, so you can destroy things directly above and below your ship with a well-placed shot - this works in this stage as you use the Force Device and Bit Devices to do a little bit of tick damage, and then finish off with a full charge. You can also do this without any powerups at all in the recovery route.
A little bit more practice is required, but I think this works really well. -- Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/icarusfw
