Boss Damage Chart

  • Anything in the strategy that isn't a ball can be substituted for a charge of higher damage.
  • Alternative options are for misfires and non-TAS mashing. The most optimal option is the first listed on the left, with the least optimal on the right.
  • Balls/Helixes are always preferred over Sparks because they do not disappear after contact with an enemy, meaning you can shoot them early and still get a hit.
  • Bosses' HP are cut in half during the first playthrough of Spring Breeze on a new file.
