>Other geometric shapes, wedges, arcs, things made of intersecting lines. Complexity becomes a problem, though.

> What other non-arrowhead, non-knife danmaku do we tend to use?

> Try firing a triangle of arrowheads, pointed upward, about two feet wide and two feet high, at the beast with the top point of the arrow centered at her chin.

>That tends to be it. Typically you focus on knives
>You do so. It's not a very good triangle, there are some serious gaps in it, but it is tight enough to be a decent obstacle if nothing else. The brute turns, sees the attack coming, and tries to dodge away from the the undergrowth she had just vaulted over, toward your left. She very nearly avoids the whole thing, but the very corner clips her side, drawing a little wince.

>You duck! The machete passes just over your head, slamming into the tree with a meaty noise and sending shards of wood into your hair and face. Thankfully they are just irritating, rather than painful or getting into your eyes.
