東方潮聖書 ~ Sapphire Panlogism - Extra Stage Perfect (No Miss No Bomb Full Spell) (Hecatia)
0Well that's a thing.
Honestly pretty easy Extra all around. Even moreso with Hecatia because lol this shot is so good.
The boss is also pretty fun. All of her attacks require you to learn how they work, or you're gonna get blasted. Normally I'm usually against "blind run killers", but that's mainly because the way people do it just makes me groan. Not in this case though, this fight is basically "oh shit, so that's what you do", and makes it really rewarding and fun to learn. Take notes, other fangame devs! (*glaring straight at Len*)
As a consequence though, this is probably the easiest Extra Stage I've ever played. I got this run in like less than 10 attempts, and a previous ExNB under 5. Hecatia melting some of Nusakoro's attacks doesn't help either. Also beware of her kanji orbs. Their hitbox is pretty much the entire sprite.
I like how the bird on her head also shoots bullets in some attacks. In fact, on the final, all the small bullets are shot by it. It even has a tiny charge effect for when it's about to fire. Actually does make it feel like a 2v1 of sorts like Hecatia says in the defeat dialogue.
Both of the themes in this stage slap, by the way. (This goes for pretty much the whole game, but Arcane Augur is one of my favorite tracks in this game, it needs a mention.)
Nusakoro is also a very interesting character. One of my favorites in this game, alongside Iroha and Azure.
