Kind of been wanting to see if I can get through hard difficulty. I'm not sure how to approach area 7. Feels like it has nastier stuff compared to what I've seen on the lower difficulties at higher rank. Bullets from the turrets kind of give me more trouble than I expected probably because they shoot at fixed angles. Stuck with type-c mostly because I felt more confident reaching the score extends with that than with type-s. Kind of glad the second area 7 midboss drops an extend for type-c on hard. Mostly relying on what I learned in easy and normal, and my knowledge for those difficulties isn't exactly that reliable. Also tried to use bombs more whenever I felt I was in trouble rather than relying on the autoguard.
