so glad other people recognize the sheer gigachad status of Auron. The man defied his churches' suicide mission to sacrifice summoners in an endless spiral of despair, because fuck the pope, stay loyal. He raised his best friend's kid when said friend was no longer around, because he promised he would, he taught Tidus how to be a man and stand up to reality and stop being such a whiny bitch. He ABSOLUTELY REFUSED TO DIE, despite ALREADY BEING DEAD and REFUSED TO ELABORATE. And then went on to kill the literal incarnation of sin despite knowing it would kill him permanently. All with a smile on his face. (With help of course, but real gigachads don't pretend to be lone wolves. They accept the help of friends readily and give it in return.) You don't fuck with Auron.

Just put a lot of guns on your ship and Teeny, turn on auto fire, and mash the dodge button and go clockwise or counter clockwise. Don't try to get the best rank on your first run aim to hunt down the red/gold enemies. With enough guns everything will melt and once you hit a certain point the Teeny Ships will auto-aim. The weakest guns are much more powerful then you'd think especially when you boost gun damage with AP.
