Heliotrope

Overview
Heliotrope is a pretty well-rounded character, fairing better at close range than long, but compensates for this with his ability to place turrets. He moves quickly and makes short work of most bosses. He's a generally easy character to play.

Strengths

 * The ability to control the accuracy of his cannon allows him to shoot long range when standing still, and yet be able to fill the screen with bullets while moving. This makes him great against all bosses, especially The Super Secret Assassin.
 * His special Helioturrets stack with his damage per second, making him capable of pushing ≈430 damage per second. They also allow him to keep a safe distance between himself and the boss while steal dealing damage.

Weaknesses

 * He's an all-around good character, being able to easily adapt against most bosses, however he tends to do slightly below average when facing bosses at long range, like The Ol' Tank and The Guide 2.0. However, his Helioturrets can be placed right next to the boss while the character is forced to run out of range.
 * The Ancestrial Asteroid tends to overwhelm this character due to his lack of aim, causing the boss to break up quickly and swarm the player.
