Tactics
Choosing the right weapons for your ship is key to progressing through each level and getting to those late-game bosses. In order to succeed, you must choose two weapons that compliment each other well. Aside from weapon classes (bullet, heavy, Ect.) weapons can also be placed into three different categories: Spread, Focused, and Hybrid.

'Spread' weapons excel at throwing damage all over the screen, hitting any and every enemy possible. These weapons are great for taking out hordes of small ships, and include weapons like the Supergun and Shockwave.

Focused weapons tend to hone most of their damage on whatever target is in front of them, rather than spreading out their damage. These weapons do well at quickly dealing with priority threats and make the best boss-killers. Some focused weapons are the Death Ray, the Impaler, the Lazer, and basically all contact weapons.

Hybrid weapons fall somewhere between spreading and focused weapons, and can be used as either one depending on the scenario. Examples include the Hyperblaster, the Demuxer, Homing Missiles, and most Bot weapons.

In order to succeed in Steredenn, you must choose two weapons that cover each other's weaknesses. Choosing one spreading weapon and one focusing weapon ensures that you are flexible for any situation. Choosing a hybrid weapon may also be a good option, especially if you choose to have your other weapon be a shield.
