 * During the second phase of the boss fight in stage 2, a front pod can be spawned behind the boss with the movement properties of the disc enemies.

 ===== Frame Perfect Rose Cracker =====
-By tapping Shot for 1 frame while a Rose Cracker is charged: there will be no following attack from your main shot afterwards. This is useful for circumstances such as the intro to Stage 2, when you want the Rose Cracker to make the deathblow on the airborne formations for the Rose Cracker kill score bonus, see: Deathblow Priority below. For example, Lace's laser weaponry will instantly target everything ahead of her. It is of minor note that if you do hold Shot for more than 1 frame (2 or 3 frames), this does not add to your next Rose Cracker charge time. Nor does a Frame Perfect Rose Cracker help subtract charge time from your next charge. There is a small buffer window.

 ===== RC Tick =====
-When a Rose Cracker hits an enemy (for instance, a boss), the target will receive damage every 7 frames. This is the maximum damage output frequency which cannot be increased any further. Therefore, hitting the same enemy during the effect of a Rose Cracker with Shot or Rose Hips does not deal additional damage to the target. This fact can be exploited when playing for score, as the player is still awarded with tick points from shooting the target while no additional damage is inflicted. Therefore, when playing for score with a character that gains high tick points (e.g. Lace or Kasumi) it is advised to shoot (about five lightnings with Lace on #30) during a Rose Cracker to take full advantage of this. This will also leave enough time for the Shield to build up again and keeps the player safe after the effect of the Rose Cracker wears off.

+When a Rose Cracker is contacting a target while your Shot is also making contact: Shot will take priority for the deathblow. However, this only applies 100% to constant contact weaponry such as: Kasumi's Rapid Fire, Lace's lightning weaponry, and Shasta's laser beams. With other shot types you are hoping that the shot makes contact at the exact frame the deathblow is dealt. This knowledge can be great for claiming the 100,000pts bonus from bosses or mid-sized enemies who also have a Shot Bonus. Oppositely, there are times you don't want your shot stealing deathblows, as mentioned in the Frame Perfect Rose Cracker details.
