Bosses punish panic movement more than low damage. Demo footage shows the first boss using a dash plus bullet-hell pressure; learning the telegraph and keeping movement speed high matters as much as squeezing out another damage modifier.
Prepare before the timer
Players repeatedly meet the first boss around the later part of a short run. Spend saved level-ups and rearrange directional weapons before the arena becomes chaotic.
Watch the dash
Demo footage shows players learning to wait for the boss animation before dodging. An early dash wastes your escape and leaves you in the follow-up pattern.
Keep damage coverage
A boss that moves around the ship exposes the weakness of one-direction-only builds. Mixed weapon angles keep damage uptime higher.
Overcharge for sustain
Trigger Overcharge while you can keep attacking so the healing component is not wasted.
