So this Extra mode I thought would be crazy to NMNC because of how you only get 0.5 health.. and can't kill the bosses early by luck, because of the fixed timers, but Dagoth, who''s really experienced with PoFV, hinted me at the strategy for it: you just need to barely shoot so the dodging is much less intense (see how little goes on during the Eiki fight compared to the maingame, for example), as well as score very low. If you never get any extends, the timer on Eiki will be only 55 seconds on the first round, allowing for a relatively easy victory. If you don't shoot, the timer will freeze after about 7 seconds, so you want to shoot a single spirit ideally, and then continue not shooting. Just spam shooting near the end of the timer so the boss can actually get hit by something (killing fairies and spirits sends stuff to their screen.) Oh and usage of Medicine is just to be immune to spirit hitboxes, her brokenness in killing the AI fast is irrelevant in this mode, as they''re programmed to die quickly once the timer runs out, and never while the timer is active.
No miss, or not losing a round, is actually also no hit in this mode, because you only get 0.5 health, lol. I guess that makes it a true NMNB equivalent :^)
