>>42912141>ShirakenToo much being left to chance then, I hate the idea that some weapons are "good because shiraken". I often just don't get it, I certainly didn't the last four stages with Shion.
Usaken is amazing though and pretty common in my experience. The ability of those explosions to trigger other effects like slow, stun or flower is outstanding.
The more I play her, the more I hate her portals. For every one time it makes you feel like a genius and lets you teleport out of "box event", 5 times it will appear under your feet while you are sitting there and teleport you into a horde of enemies. Since you want enemies to be near them for the damage pulses it means you often get shunted into a bad situation.
On my most recent run I noticed that the "invulnerability and shot stopping" of KusagaKick still lets you trigger the Chestplate damage effects, so you can navigate into a horde of enemies to better delete them during the invulnerability 3 seconds. Really handy, helps a lot with making the special better.
