Axelay/Stage 6

From StrategyWiki, the video game walkthrough and strategy guide wiki

Armada[edit]

On approach to the destination, you will encounter a large armada. The battleships will approach one at a time, and have a large number of turrets that will fire at you. They have two weak points on the top - if they are both hit, all turrets on that given ship are destroyed.

The red-colored ship will be the last in the armada. After that ship, it will be followed by a few waves of smaller vessels in a V formation. They are best dealt with the Cluster Bomb, as it can wipe out the entire formation if you remain near the top of the screen.

Station[edit]

After defating the small waves, you will enter the station. There is a small walker that moves backwards, casting a light on you, and shooting some bullets. It is not much of a threat, since it's bullets will miss by flying behind you. The main threat is from a few other enemies that may pass, as well as closing doors that require you to be near the midpoint of the screen to pass safely.
