8. Ricochet Fire

Times Used: 1
Times Cleared: 1

That said, this probably does what Triple Beam intends to do. If you want to hit multiple enemies at once with the Rail, this one seems to be your best bet.

7. Triple Bomb

Times Used: 4
Times Cleared: 2

My best way of handling the "lobs" like Trippy Shot or the Rail special is to just shoot 3 at a time as quickly as possible. If you miss, you miss. If you hit, you do a good amount of damage. If I get this early, I will try out a heavy Special run with...mixed results.

6. Concentrated Fire

Times Used: 0

I apparently never received this? I know I received all upgrades for the (base) Rail, so I'm not sure what happened here. What I'm thinking is that I grabbed the Anvil at Charon's shop and it erased Concentrated Fire, which erased it from the stats.

In any case, very easy way to increase damage on Rail on basically all enemies.

5. Piercing Fire

Times Used: 4
Times Cleared: 1

I respect enhancements that destroy Armor. Probably best for your Tartarus hammer upgrade, but not a bad choice at all for Elysium. Bonus points to this one for doing something more than just "destroy armor". Piercing might actually be better than Ricochet for defeating multiple enemies at once with the Rail. It also goes past those god damn Greatshields.

4. Concentrated Beam

Times Used: 2
Times Cleared: 1

This...seems to have no drawbacks at all for something really good? I guess it doesn't actually increase the damage of Lucifer Rail, but it might as well. Usually my problem with Lucifer Rail is the inconsistency of shooting enemies. Some enemies get hit with the shorter range, sometimes you want to get max damage and you need to reload, etc. It's a little too much on the thinking part for me. So this beam just allows me to know that I'm doing max damage much, much quicker.

I feel completely refreshed. Like I just put on fresh underwear on New Year's Day.
