G-Darius Mu route 31.3M

Superb run. I especially appreciated the trick with the turret at 23:50 - I'm learning the Mu route for a basic survival clear, and I've been bombing at that point to avoid the hassle of weaving through its bullets. :p

Thanks! If you don't care about scoring then you might want to try doing the last stage in the W route. The boss there is somewhat easier but doesn't give as good beam opportunities.

@@Erppo Ah, thank you! I was wondering why everybody who has a Mu replay up on here seems to go for the X/blue version of Heavy Arms Shell. I've been practicing the other one and thought I'd made a mistake. :p Do you have any tips for dealing with the sheer bullet density in Theta? I'm guessing I just need to memorise the hell out of it and come up with a consistent set of alpha beam spots. I can survive it (and Death Wings is no problem at this point), but I do find things can go wrong easily... In terms of scoring I'd like to at least clear the 20m benchmark on all routes, but it looks like you can achieve that before the final boss on this route. If I do that and get all Captains and beam counters, I'm usually happy. Thanks again!

@@Klatrymadon For tips on Theta, not much really. I always learned it as a place where you want to be using your beam all the time due to the large density of high value enemy waves, so that's all I ever did there. In this route I even hold it back a little to keep a couple more capture balls for the final stage. In the Nu route you really get to go all out there.

@@Erppo Cheers! Yeah, I figured as much. I'll just put some more work into it and learn some good beam timings. :)
