As it turns out, VIVIT's wide shot actually has a Malice Cannon.
Yep, you can mash Shift to repeatedly fire both the focused and unfocused shots, which causes this shot to deal much more damage than normally possible. This blew the category wide open, with millions upon millions to be additionally scored on the bosses.
It also makes it very tiring to play, unfortunately, which means I'm definitely not returning to this category, perhaps unless this is beaten. The bomb timings are kind of annoying too, since VIVIT-W's bomb tends to cause items to drop if it's even slightly mistimed, causing much frustration, since it immediately ends the run with no means of recovery. You cannot just decide to bomb that to recover, because her bomb lasts so long that it will carry into the next section and ruin it; plus, you'll no longer have that bomb for when you actually need it, which is also a run-ending loss in some cases.
This run lost about a million on Stage 3, and similar on Stage 5 (idk how much actually). Stage 2 wasn't too great either, but I didn't make any major mistakes on the final boss, which matters the most. Stage 1 was also very good and Stage 4 was fine. I missed a couple enemies on the Stage 6 midboss, but that didn't really matter too much.
The final boss in particular is an absolute mashing hell that your left ring finger will detest you for. You should probably not run this category if I'm being honest lol. I ran it so you don't have to. Despite the finger suffering though, now both characters in the game have breached the 200 million barrier and I'm happy to have achieved it :)
