---Yabusame---
Main character: The usual wide spread and homing shots. Good for stage portions.
Sub character: The usual full-screen bomb (good for both stages and bosses) and circular Flash Bomb.

---Tsubakura---
Main character: The usual forward laser. Good for bosses.
Sub character: The usual Monochrome Ray bomb (super good against bosses) and cross-shaped Flash Bomb.

---Shion---
Main character: Medium-strength forward shot, plus bendy shots that scatter bullets all over the screen. Works okay for hitting enemies from the other side of the screen, works... sort of okay against bosses.
Sub character: Bomb hits the entire screen, then shrinks to the space immediately around the player. Flash Bomb shoots lasers perpendicular to a random direction.

---Fumikado---
Main character: Moves slooooooow. Shots go straight ahead and diagonally left/right; not great coverage?
Sub character: Bomb fires a very powerful, very narrow stream straight forward, then briefly covers the whole screen. Not great compared to other characters' bombs. Flash Bomb is Armor Mode, which needs to be charged up but lasts longer than regular Flash Bombs; also reflects bullets once you buy Fumikado's #0 skill.

---Iyozane---
Main character: Wide spread with ample power, plus additional shots directly in front. Pretty good?
Sub character: Bomb fires columns of bullets from the bottom of the screen, then covers the whole screen; lasts a REALLY long time. Flash Bomb is a circle that quickly moves upward; does damage once you buy Iyozane's #0 skill.

---Tsugumi---
Main character: Fires bouncing horseshoes in all directions; focused shots automatically aim towards any enemies, even ones behind you. Demolishes most stage portions, only does average against bosses.
Sub character: Bomb spews bullets in a fountain while you rocket around the screen with slippery controls. It's not that great?? Flash Bomb is several circles that start a little bit away from you and circle inward. Doesn't erase bullets as effectively as the other player-centered Flash Bombs.
