Under normal circumstances I would say the spur
But for hell runs, and I know this is an unpopular opinion, but i would perfer the snake
It just feels much smoother to fire at enemies through walls instead of camp and charge
Also, machine gun for normal ending because it makes the mid game (start of labyrinth - abandoned mimiga village)
just so much fucking easier
For good ending runs spur becuz charging is just soo gud
Also, LV1 Nemesis.
Has the benefit of being strongest at LV1, which means that black winds don't mean shit when this thing is in your inventory
leveling up can be a pain, but you just have to make sure that you switch to another weapon when EXP drops, so that you'll be leveling another thing aside from your nemesis.
Also, taking hits when you're using this weapon means that you'll get payback by your weapon getting stronger.
Only problem is that you can only fire 2 shots on screen, and that's just unacceptable for a late-game weapon reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Blade at LV2 and 1 is a great weapon, and i can thank King for giving me something just so lovably OP.
Blade's meant to be used at close range, because even though you can only fire one shot at a time from long distances, it rocks when used on close range enemies like the core or Monster X.
One of the best mid-game weapons aside from the LV3 bubbler, which has a very good and fair use
It attac and it protecc and it good for lots of enemies on screen shooting lots of bulettz
Polar star's another one of my favorites too. It's simple, but good.
Weak AF when at level 1, but good for normal runs when at LV3.
First weapon in the game, and it leaves a good impression.
ABSOLUTE favorite weapon would be the LV3 Super missile launcher
Perfect for ending bosses. YOU CAN NOT GO WRONG with this weapon
I could give less shits about the number of ammo, especially since in hell B3 you can get a chest that increases your missiles by 35.
Even at LV2 and 1 it's much more useful than its shitty predecessor.
