Galactic Saviors Expert Mode Tips

Galactic Saviors Expert Mode Tips
Use Proton Bombs Decisively Hold Down Square Button to Shoot

Use Proton Bombs Decisively

In Expert Mode, a large number of airships can appear during the course of the minigame. Additionally, red airships with high health will also appear alongside these airships you'll encounter.

It is best to use proton bombs during these scenarios, given that your normal artillery will not suffice in disposing them. When given the opportunity, use Proton Bombs to take enemies down.

Hold Down Square Button to Shoot

The increased difficulty in Expert Mode will require you to engage evasive maneuvers when facing enemy ships, dodging their countless munitions and retaliating with your own firepower.

It is recommended that you hold down the square button to continuously shoot down enemies, which can help you can focus on pressing the R2 button to barrel roll and dodge from enemy attacks.

Galactic Saviors Minigame Tips
Get Squad Kills for Bonus Points Use Proton Bombs on Red Ships Do Barrel Rolls to Dodge Attacks Destroy the Mothership Turrets

Get Squad Kills for Bonus Points

You can get bonus points for shooting down a squad of enemy ships without letting any of them escape. A squad of enemies usually show up together at the same time.

Use Proton Bombs on Red Ships

Red Ships have a larger amount of HP compared to regular ships. Use your Proton Bombs on the red ships so they can be taken out before they manage to escape.

Do Barrel Rolls to Dodge Attacks

Do Barrel Rolls to easily avoid attacks from enemy ships. Moving the ship as it is slower compared to using the Barrel Roll.

Destroy the Mothership Turrets

When the Mothership's engines show up, take out the turrets around it first to get some extra points before taking down the final ship.
