Divine spirits will scatter around the bosses as you damage them. If you are sufficiently close to them, you will be able to collect them before they scatter at all; if you are almost in point blank range, the speed of divine spirits coming out increases dramatically, especially if you are unfocused. There are several attacks where it is completely safe to stand in front of the boss at some points (such as Yuyuko's second card or Kyouko's midboss card), so it would be wise to do so during these moments while unfocused. Just remember to dodge when the bullets come along.

(Note: The following is based on the trial version of the game. It is currently in development and may not reflect the gameplay that resides in the final version.)

Scoring Point Items

Try to collect point items at the maximum value as much as possible. Make good use of the collection line. When this isn't possible, you could bomb and fly up to the top, although you might want to save them for a successful clear instead if you're not confident. Marisa is a bit cumbersome with this technique - if you stay at the bottom, her speed decreases and it becomes difficult to get everything. If you stay at the top, however, it becomes more difficult to destroy enemies that drop point items.

Increasing your max point value is done by gathering blue spirits and grazing. The spirit items do not move towards you above the PoC, so try to collect as many as possible, before they disappear. Try to stay as close to the boss as possible to generate them quickly, giving a good fill at your trance gauge. Grazing, on the other hand, may be a better choice if this becomes impossible, although it doesn't generate Trance. Bosses are also a good chance to boost point item value and score a huge burst by using Trance and standing right in front of them.

Learning Patterns

Practice is of utmost importance. It becomes a lot easier to understand where every bullet and enemy spawns on each stage by playing often. Watch your friends' replays or see how the top hardcore players rake in the masses and get a feeling of how you can incorporate it into your gameplay.

When it gets too rough, try on a lower difficulty and work your way up to the top. And don't forget to have fun.

Bosses and Spirits

Divine spirits will scatter around the bosses as you damage them. If you are sufficiently close to them, you will be able to collect them before they scatter at all; if you are almost in point blank range, the speed of divine spirits coming out increases dramatically. There are several attacks where it is completely safe to stand in front of the boss at some points (such as Yuyuko's second card or Kyouko's midboss card), so it would be wise to do so during these moments while unfocused. Just remember to dodge when the bullets come along.

Using Your Trance Wisely

During Trance mode, the effect of divine spirits increase dramatically - blue spirits now give +100 to maximum point item values, and red/green spirits give +2 to your life and bomb gauge, respectively. Thus, it is important to memorize select points where you can enter Trance to ensure maximum profit from divine spirits. This is especially important if your goal is to obtain a lot of lives and bombs from Trance, as only a few enemies on stages will drop red and green spirits, and wise use of Trance can make a very large difference in the amount of extends you obtain.

Sanae Kochiya

Youmu Konpaku

Her options trail behind her, so if you want to spread fire horizontally, move left or right, and if you want to focus fire forward, move up or down (so the options stand on top of each other).
