Best power level (not mashing)

[Solarus755]

Hi everyone,

 

It seems pretty well established that power level 7 is the best power level to be at in this game, but this also assumes that you're mashing during tough spots to maximize damage. I know that with higher power levels, the individual bullets do less damage, but at level 8, the spread pattern is the same as level 7, just with a faster rate of fire.

 

I'm of course playing the vita version, and find it virtually impossible to mash without losing concentration because it moves the vita. If I go through the game without doing any mashing whatsoever, is level 8 the best spot to be for the quickest boss kills?

 

EDIT: Did some testing myself during my primary only run today, and level 7 is definitely more powerful even with no mashing involved.
