Tips
- Protect the patient: Do not shoot healthy blood cells or scrape against the vessel walls, as this actively damages the patient’s health. Focus your fire solely on bacteria and defense cells.
- Enzyme healing: Keep an eye out for key-shaped enzyme items. Shooting these will release healing agents that help stabilize the patient’s condition.
- The blood clot: At the end of each phase, you must land multiple consecutive shots on the blood clot to destroy it. These are located in narrow passages, so prioritize avoiding a crash while you fire.
