How to Make "Cerberus" One of Your Most Useful Weapons

The Cerberus is normally a rather mediocre weapon. It's a good starting bolt, but once you obtain the likes of the Naga and Orochi, chances are you won't be using it ever again. After all, three tags is just too low to suit your needs most of the time.

Did you know that there's a way to make the Cerberus better, though? Mind you, I'm not talking about a minor upgrade, I'm referring to a method that can actually make it one of the most useful weapons in the game. This is all thanks to a certain lens item called Cerberus Sight+. This lens boosts the Cerberus' max amount of tags by a whopping two! It doesn't end there, though. Like all lenses, you can equip two Cerberus Sight+ items and the effects will stack! So, in addition to the three tags that the Cerberus is already capable of, you can add four more, making a total of seven tags! That's second only to the Orochi (which has eight)!

In terms of versatility, though, I think the boosted Cerberus is actually better than Orochi. Orochi can be pretty difficult to control at times, owing to its turret. Someone who's not used to the weapon will often find his tags scattered all over the place. Cerberus, however, is a very easy weapon to control. It fires straight, so you'll always know where your tags will land.

The one downside to using it with two Cerberus Sight+ items, though, is that you can't make use of your other lenses. Personally, I always like to keep two Dynamo Lenses equipped for more EP, so I kinda have to switch some of my strategies around a bit when using the boosted Cerberus. Still, I find it to be incredibly useful. I encourage you all to try it out if you're looking for ways to score higher combos!
