Story clear (Changpo)

The story modes are all fairly short and consist of fighting through five of the other opponents before facing a boss battle in round six. The only differences for this formula are Fabian, who will fight the battleship in round 5 and then Mika in the final round, and Karel who will fight the battleship in round 5 and then Sakurako in the final round.
If you are struggling then go to the options and change the difficulty to very easy and you should be able to breeze through the game. Also be aware that you can continue as many times as you want so there is no pressure.
When fighting other rounder’s you can always get in the first attack by moving right next to the other player while the round count down is taking place and then unleashing a physical attack with either X or Y. Try to keep your distance after that and use your main attack (X) to whittle down their energy and also the homing attack when it is available (Y), just remember that each attack takes a while to recharge. When they have very little energy left then change to BOSS mode to finish them off – as sometimes they will change first and it will give them a big energy boost.
For the battleship boss battle here is what you should do: in its first mode just keep firing continually and it should die very quickly, try to avoid taking much damage rather than attacking as energy is very important later on and this first part doesn’t take much effort to defeat.
The second part involves a large laser beam on the right, with a couple of turrets in front of it and then some guns and missiles behind (you can’t destroy these). For this part just remember that time isn’t an issue as you get 99 seconds which is more than enough so don’t rush to kill this section as you need all the energy you can get for the final part. Strafe across the gap between the two walls, using your weapons to destroy the two turrets first off. Make sure you duck behind the walls when the laser in the middle starts to charge up as it can do a lot of damage if it catches you. Once the two turrets die, then just sit next to the wall until the laser fires and then pop out as the beam gets thinner (it can’t damage you as it is shrinking) and fire at the orange laser beam before it closes. Keep doing this until it is destroyed and you should get away with minimal damage.
For the final section, you have to just shoot the core when it isn’t protected by the revolving wall. The shards that drop from it are caused by your shooting so try to avoid them and also duck out of the way of the turret that shoots down the left of the screen. Eventually that turret will stop and the core will spit out lots of bullets and shards so use RT to shield yourself from the worst of it and just keep up the pressure.
Once this is defeated you will have to sit through the credits and the achievement will pop after the game has automatically saved.

Follow the same strategies as normal to defeat the rounder’s but then prepare for the hardest part of the game, as the boss that Cuilan faces is much harder than anything else in the game even on Very Easy mode. You aren’t helped by the fact Cuilan’s rounder is the worst in the game in terms of attacks and you can’t use BOSS mode.
The enemy has two modes: firstly it will sit at the top of the screen and spit out tons of bullets in a circular pattern. Try to sit just to its left hand side and slightly below then use RT to shield, this helps deflect damage and also makes your X attack a lot stronger. Keep attacking with X and Y attacks and it should cause some of the turrets to fall off. Once this happens it will start to spin around the screen still firing out a stream of bullets – just keep up the pressure and follow it around the screen remaining as close as you can get as this should keep you away from its barrage. If you keep on pummelling the turrets they will eventually fall off and you should be able to do direct damage to the core so hit it hard as after a while it will start to fire a massive purple laser which is devastating if it catches you. You can’t damage it while this is happening so just try to avoid it, use the A button to dash if it gets a bit too close. It should stop after a while and go back to its original position – this time however the turrets take hardly any damage and you should be able to finish it off in a few seconds. In theory its possible to destroy this first stage before you have to face the purple laser at all.
The second stage is even more annoying (if that’s possible) and you really need to take about three quarters health into this stage. It is just a small robot that starts off sat in the centre of the screen and spits out masses of bullets. Use your Y attack to disrupt its attacks and RT to shield. Also remember that you can use LT to send out a circular beam that will destroy bullets (remember you need the charge bar to be at least 50% full to use this attack) so use that if things get too hectic. Once it has taken some damage it will start to move around the screen and fire out bursts of smaller bullets which can be hard to dodge but you should be able to slip through gaps. Finally, when it gets down to about ¼ health if will fly across the screen and drop a lot of bigger bullets. Believe it or not this is the easiest part of the fight as the bullets leave big gaps between them the you should be able to fit through, keep on using the Y attack as this can destroy the bullets while still inflicting damage and remain shielded as much as possible. This will probably take a few attempts but try to be patient and if you are struggling there is a video on youtube that may help.

See Story Clear Cuilan. Ernula faces the same annoying boss but has a much easier time of it thanks to her superior weapons. The first stage can be killed in about ten seconds if you are lucky – just sit in the same spot I recommended for Cuilan and use the RT shield and the Y attack at the same time. This shoots two big lasers in a straight line and does massive damage to the boss, so coupled with the X attack while you are recharging means that the first stage should be over quite rapidly.
For the second stage sit at the bottom and use the same tactic, RT and Y to use the lasers on the boss and then LT if the bullets get too much. Once it has taken enough damage and starts to move around the screen then concentrate on avoiding its bullets and just keep firing, when it stops briefly use the RT and Y combo to rapidly drain its health. You should manage to polish it off a lot faster than you did with Cuilan.
