Story Context

In Story B, after defeating the dragon-like girl at the beach, the main character is eager to take on another opponent. Reluctantly, the others at the beach let the phoenix-looking girl attack the main character.

In Story C, Arietta commands Suzaku to attack the main character after they realize that they were nothing but a pawn in Arietta and Beyond's plan to gather energy.

Gimmicks

When grazing bullets in bullet patterns with seagulls/during the harsher Speedcore sections of the song, you gain 1 Combo for each bullet grazed, and you do a little bit of damage. Large red bullets sweep across the field and spawn kunai-shaped bullets.

Strategies

For the rows of large moving bullets on difficulties Normal and above, circle around the bullets back into your original position. Change the direction of your circling each cycle of the attack.

The sheer number of blue bullets means that getting enough damage for AA in V1 is very easy, so long as you have lives remaining going into the final pattern of V1. Blaster Style and Core Module are recommended. After getting the damage in V1, focus on surviving. Crash Style doesn't take advantage of the blue bullets as well as Blaster style does but can be very useful in surviving tough patterns.

If you find yourself combo'ing down during the purely instrumental parts of the song (as the beat in the song as not as strong as during the lyrical sections), keep a count of the beat leading into the instrumentals. Remember, you should aim to input your shot/shield when one of the orbs on the NOISZ is directly at the top of the player character.

On Hard and Overload difficulty, using Core Module with Parry Style and sitting on the enemy during the patterns that grant Combo for grazing can assist in survival. You can gain Combo during Core Module's extended invincibility frames, and the amount gained easily allows you to regenerate lives. Make sure to head back down for the third pattern in V2 and right before the birdlike pattern concludes in V3. This strategy is also very effective for scoring, as it gives an unusually high amount of Combo if you time well when you enter/leave Suzaku's hitbox.

The community refers to sitting on the boss' hitbox in this manner as "Mub strat," named after the player whose score demonstrated the technique to the larger community.

This strategy can also be effective with Ghost Style+ on Overload if you have Infinity Style unlocked.

Flavor Text

Beyond: Looks like another tough fight... Her power comes at a cost, though! Barely avoiding her strongest attack will cause her to take damage!

Arietta: As they say, fortune favors the bold. Bet your life in exchange for power and crush the opponent before you.

Stornel: If you can survive the flames, choose abilities that let you take advantage of all the Combo you quickly gain.

Lyrics

-on over here -I'm drinking -eyes, watch my lips -you, what I'm thinking -on over here -I'm drinking -eyes, watch my lips -you, what I'm think-

All I need is you by my side Dance with me until the morning light tonight Oh, tonight

'Til the music stops and you pull me close Lose control from head to toe tonight Oh, tonight And I'll be loving you

Come on, come on over here Tell you what I'm drinking Move my eyes, watch my lips Tell you what I'm thinking

Put your hands 'round my waist Take me to a different place Take me to a different place Take me to a different place

Come on, come on over here Tell you what I'm drinking Move my eyes, watch my lips Tell you what I'm thinking

Put your hands 'round my waist Take me to a different place Take me to a different place Take me to a different place

-on over here -I'm drinking -eyes, watch my lips -you, what I'm thinking -on over here -I'm drinking -eyes, watch my lips -you, what I'm thinking

Come on, come on over here Tell you what I'm drinking Move my eyes, watch my lips Tell you what I'm thinking

Put your hands 'round my waist Take me to a different place Take me to a different place Take me to a different place Different place

???

All I need is you by my side Dance with me until the morning light tonight Oh, tonight

'Til the music stops and you pull me close Lose control from head to toe tonight Oh, tonight And I'll be loving you

Come on, come on over here Tell you what I'm drinking Move my eyes, watch my lips Tell you what I'm thinking

Put your hands 'round my waist Take me to a different place Take me to a different place Take me to a different place
