Tsugaru(ツガル)

Tsugaru is a guest character from the beatmania IIDX series that plays the role of a Shooter in Bombergirl.

She boasts incredible range with her Horn Sniper Rifle Skill and Holy Night Mass, and is currently the fastest mobile shooter in the game with 4 max speed.

Compared to other shooters, Tsugaru's kit is deceiving. While it may look like she excels in close(bombs) and long range(guns) combat, her default skills against the ever increasing roster leaves a lot to be desired. To play this character effective, a controller is necessary to take advantage of her movement and angles.

THE SKILLS

"This Horn Sniper Rifle isn't just for show!"

Horn Sniper Rifle(ホーンスナイパーライフル) - Default Skill #1

Skill Description: Shoot at the enemy with a sniper rifle.

Rank	0	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
Cooldown	12s										10.8s

Team lvl	Damage (Structure)	Range	Cooldown	Cast Time	Angle	I-frame(s)
2	80 (40)	1x11 in front	12s	~0.4s	16 Directions (360)	None

A fast shooting attack. Tsugaru holds the rifles for a split second before shooting two shots. The range is immense. The bullets can travel over blocks, walls, allies, and allied structures but will be sucked if it damages an enemy or enemy structure. If an enemy is at low HP and nearby another, the bullets will pierce and hit both players. The best way to use this skill is in narrow pathways and when the enemy is standing still. The opportune moment to strike is after the attacker places a bomb then retreats behind a block. Most importantly, do not panic shoot.

"Target locked. Firing!"

Hyper-Electromagnetic Launcher(ハイパーエレクトロマグネティックランチャー) - Default Skill #2

Skill Description: Fires an intense, ultra-long-distance beam forward. She cannot move for a moment due to the shock.

Rank	0	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
Cooldown	50s										45s

Team lvl	Damage (Structures)	Range	Cooldown	Cast Time	Angle	I-frame(s)
5	300 (150)	3x22 in front	50s	2.66s	4 Directions	Yes

Tsugaru fires an intense ultra long distance beam forward. She's immobile during and after the attack. The beam pierce through everything making it strong in tight corridors during the beginning digging phase. Because of the brief recovery after the skill is finished, it is not wise to use this near enemy players as they will use the chance to surround Tsugaru with bombs. On certain maps, it is advantageous for Tsugaru to move from her defensive position to attack the enemy's gate or base.

"Think fast!"

Apple Stun Cider(アップルスタンサイダー) - Alt Skill #1

Skill Description: Throw a Apple-Grenade forward that creates a stun field.

Rank	0	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
Cooldown	15s										13.5s

Team lvl	Damage	Range	Cooldown	Cast Time	Angle	I-frame(s)
3	0 (2.53s stun)	2.5 Radius (thrown 5 spaces)	15s	1s	8 Directions	Yes (on startup)

Tsugaru throws an apple bomb that stuns for a brief time. The grenade goes over everything so don't worry about it getting sucked. Combos well into her horn sniper rifle skills.

"Firing mah lasers!"

Holy Night Mass(ホーリィナイト・ミサ) - Alt Skill #2

Skill Description: Fire a succession of shots at the enemy with a sniper rifle.

Rank	0	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
Cooldown	12s										19.8s

Team lvl	Damage (Structures)	Range	Cooldown	Cast Time	Angle	I-frame(s)
4	60 (30) x 8	3x9 in front	25s	~0.5s	16 Directions (360)	Yes (triggers on hit)

Fires a quick succession of shots at the enemy with both rifles. Multiple enemies can be harmed if they are in the line of fire. Like Horn Sniper Rifle, Bullets interact the same with blocks, walls, allies, allied structures and are absorbed by enemy mimbos/servants and sturctures. While the ability can fire multiple shots in a general area, enemies can only be harmed ONCE. Contrary to Horn Sniper Rifle, enemy structures can be hit multiple times by this skill. NOTE: Damage to structures depend on the amount of squares taken covered in front of it. 120 damage for 1 square, 180 for 2 squares, and 240 damage for 3 squares.

Strategy and Tactics

• Will be expanded on**
• Shots tend to come out quickly compared to other shooters. Use this to your advantage.
• Horn Sniper Rifle has ridiculous range. You can shoot people off screen if you use the mini-map as your guide.

Hyper Electronic Launcher optimal shot locations

Bomb Town Bomb Town 2.1 Bomb Town 4 Aqua Castle Aqua Castle 2 Aqua Castle 3 Aqua Castle 5 Strongly not recommended to use EML KakaKuri Kakakuri 1 Kakakuri 2 Not a recommended snipe to take as it puts burden on Tsugaru's blocker. The EML is better used to ward off the enemy offensive arriving from the left, then use Apple Stun Cider or Holy Night Mass. Kakakuri 3 Kakakuri 4.1 Strongly not recommended to use EML Kakakuri Twilight Highly recommended shot for Tsugaru to take. Getting to the middle and damaging the enemy gates eases the job of getting in for Tsugaru's offensive team. If the middle section is too heated then the shot can be made from plan B. Panic Island Panic Island 1 Panic Island 2.1 Panic Island 6 Strongly not recommend to use EML Cyber Space Cyber Space 1 Cyber Space 2 Cyber Space 3 Cyber Space 4 Considered Tsugaru's best map for EML because of its strong opening. Reaching level 5 first is a must to take the advantage. It is an easy snipe so the enemy Tsugaru may retaliate. Bomb Desert Bomb Desert 1 Possible, very easy, but Tsugaru has to go out of her way to snipe from here. The map is small and the blocker will need Tsugaru to cover her blind spots. This shot has to be planned and the team must reach level 5 first early in the beginning of the match. Bomb Desert 2 It is easy to collect EXP and reach level 5. this shot is highly recommended to create an opening for Tsugaru's offensive team. However be wary that the enemy shooter will return this snipe (Tsugaru EML, Emera Omega Delete, Olive Act Homing, etc) Chilly Village Strongly not recommended to use EML
