It also has the healing bullet, which none of the other guns have. Its ammo chamber only holds 5 shots, so it is not good for long trips. Except for the ちゅうだん attack, its attacks must have line-of-sight with an enemy: in other words, you can't target an enemy if another enemy is in front of it. This is a major disadvantage compared to other guns like the Gatling gun arm.

Automatically misses bosses. ほしゅうだん How to get: comes with weapon Attack type: healing Targets: 1 ally Ammo: 5 shots Description: heals 100 points of damage to yourself or your partner.

RECOMMENDED. ほしゅうだん How to get: comes with weapon Attack type: healing Targets: 1 ally Ammo: 5 shots Description: heals 150 points of damage to yourself or your partner. More space-efficient than repair kits. Much better than the handgun's ほしゅうだん, since it heals 50 more hit points. --------------------------------------------- WEAPON: ガンとレット (gauntlet) --------------------------------------------- How to get: ?

Later in the game, these are better than the repair kits when your characters have over 200 hit points. --------------------------------------------- ITEM: デコイ (decoy) --------------------------------------------- Size: 2x2 Creates a decoy koubu in the middle of the enemy formation. These are really good against big bosses who summon minions (especially the last one!), because they can take up the space a minion would normally take. Try to position a decoy in the middle of two enemy spaces so it will block both spaces. --------------------------------------------- ITEM: トリモチ(bird crap) --------------------------------------------- Size: 2x3 -1 block Slows down the target for a short time. --------------------------------------------- えんまく　(smoke screen) --------------------------------------------- Size: 2x1 This allows you to retreat instantly, instead of having to wait for a full round to pass. --------------------------------------------- てなげだん (grenade) --------------------------------------------- Size: 1x2 Causes heavy damage to all enemies. ************************************************************ ************************************************************ ********** ********** PART IV: DOCUMENT HISTORY ********** ************************************************************ ************************************************************ Version 1.0 (11 February 2002): Preliminary version. ************************************************************ ************************************************************ ********** ********** PART V: CREDITS/COPYRIGHT ********** ************************************************************ ************************************************************ Thanks to GameFAQs.com for archiving this document.
