Shoot the Bullet: Level 7 Spell Cards

Spell Card 47


Screenshot No. 47: 魔符「全世界ナイトメア」

Devil Sign "World in Nightmare"

Owner: Remilia Scarlet
Level 7 — 2
Comment: This card looks simple at first, but there's some subtlety to it.

Remilia disappears at the start of the spell, and you need to wait for her to return (21 ENDLESS seconds of doom) before shooting.
It's fairly obvious that you need to rotate around the bat while avoiding the white bullets.
While Remilia's in bat form, you might be tempted to use defensive shots to clear the white bullets when going "over the top", but DON'T. Every time you press the shutter, an extra column is added to each of the blocks of red knives, so you don't want to take any defensive shots during this card, or the knives will increase to a point where it becomes difficult to sustain the rotation. Only shoot when you can get Remilia in the viewfinder. (needs fact checking)



Spell Card 49

Scarlet Sign "Bloody Magic Square"

Owner: Remilia Scarlet
Level 7 — 4
Comment: The most obvious thing is that the knives move in curved lines. Act accordingly.

The easiest way to defeat this spell is to shoot and clear the knives every other time Remilia launches them. In other words, clear the knives on her first, third, fifth, seventh, ninth and eleventh launches, and then take your final shot whenever you can.
If you can predict the direction in which the bullets will accelerate after the knives leave the screen, you may want to "jog" your viewfinder in the opposite direction when shooting (be careful to get all the knives in the viewfinder, though). This may make the task of dodging the bullets slightly easier. (Does anyone know what exactly influences the bullets' movement direction?)
