S tier — best picks
-
Sandy
Chains Sandstorms so Rico cannot target either player while the partner unloads safely.
-
Squeak
Near-continuous Hypercharge sticks Rico through phase changes; double Squeak cleared every difficulty.
-
Rico
Bounce lanes and rapid Super cycling maintain safe damage through all three boss phases.
-
Colt
Open center lets every bullet land while speed pads help dodge returning volleys.
-
Griff
Repeated Supers shred Rico's phases, while fences provide cover during natural healing.
