So next up in my list for LNBs is IN, and I'm going to do it with Youmu solo, for two reasons. One is because Youmu is a pretty fun shot to use, and she's quite strong; the other is because it's almost painful for me to let Border Team's deathbomb timer wear off
So far I'm just de-rusting on the patterns, some stage portions I have trouble with are the early fairies on stage 2 (the ones that constantly shoot familiars), the fairies just before midboss Keine, and the large ones after midboss Marisa, but I'm pretty sure it's mostly me messing up my aiming.
As for bosses, I can't capture Last Spells for shit, but I don't exactly care for them. Other than that, I don't have much trouble outside of Marisa and Kaguya, even Tewi.
With Marisa, her second midboss nonspell is a clusterfuck I can't read, and I keep running into her familiars on Event Horizon, everything else she has should be doable after some practice.
I know Kaguya is basically RNG: the final boss, but I decided to go for her anyway since I'm more familiar with her than with Eirin (and I really don't like Eirin's fight). I may have found a way to do Brilliant Dragon Bullet reliably, since I'm consistently capturing it lately; Buddhist Diamond is kind of a thing, but since I can't hit Kaguya directly anyway, I can move around more comfortably; Salamander Shield is a joke now with the up/down method and Youmu killing it in just two waves; Life Spring Infinity is just horrible, I'm gonna keep practicing, but I don't count on capturing it, and Hourai Jewel should be doable with the Yellow Balls strat. For her Last Spell Rush I just want to have Rising World show up, I don't really mind if I don't capture some spells.
I'm not particularly impatient about getting this LNB, I'd like to do it for Shimatora's challenge, but if I miss the deadline I'll just do it with normal starting stock.
