Overview
Maestro despite his below average hp of 85, this class offers a total of 40 weapons to choose, Which makes him good in long, medium or short range depending on the style and weapon/copywep he's currently using which makes Maestro a perfect class for someone who likes adaptability through the course of a battle

With all All-Purpose Upgrade Maestro gains more ammo for acquired copy weapons and receive less hitstun from attacks.

Main
Maestro Buster

Maestro's Buster is actually his only form of defense other than copyweps in base form. It can be charged for a much bigger shot. The charged shot changes on the elements, in base form is simply a larger, powerful shot.

Elemental Charged Shots:
 * Heat Element will change your charged shot to the Heat Flamethrower, which fires multiple ripper fireballs that disappear after a set distance.
 * Guts fires 20 ripper fireballs with some bullet spread.
 * Custom and shield fires 11 ripper fireballs with no bullet spread.


 * Aqua Element will change your charged shot to the Aqua Bubbler, which can hit through shields.
 * Guts gains recoil, knockback and bigger trail.
 * Custom and shield lose the recoil and knockback and gets smaller trail.


 * Elec Element will change you charged shot to the Elec Shock, which stuns the opponent briefly when it connects.
 * Guts' shot is slightly slower but don't disappear after a set distance.
 * Custom and Shield shots disappear after a set distance but its faster.


 * Wood Element will change your charged shot to the Wood Twister and Wood Pikes, which, creates a Wood tornado in front of you that fires out Wood pikes.
 * Guts makes a ground-crawling shot like Frost Man's Ice Wave but instead of stunning, you launch them into the air. However, your tornado has more delay to fire out.
 * Custom and shield lose delay on Wood tornado and just fire out 3 wood seeds.

Having Guts Style changes your (uncharged) buster to the Guts Buster, which fires out 5 bullets with almost no bullet spread.

Alt
Maestro Buster (Rapid) / Shield Raise (when in Shield style)

Instead of charging, Maestro will rapid fire his buster, on Guts style will rapid fire but with a somewhat mid bullet spread.

An exception is when you're in Shield Style, in which you then put your shield up in front of you. If something hits the shield, it will fill a 2nd bar that, when you press mainfire, shoots out the charged shot version of your element without needing to charge up.

Reload
Style Menu

Reload causes Maestro to bring up his hand, signifying that he's ready to switch styles. While switching, Mainfire changes the element between Wood, Heat, Elec, and Aqua, and altfire changes the style itself, which are Custom, Guts, and Shield. If you've previously chosen a style and hit reload again, Maestro will revert to his base form. You cannot switch to a different style without going back to base form first.

Shield and Custom styles give additional weapons as well - here's a list:
 * Custom
 * Wood: Leaf Shield, Search Snake, Plant Trapper, Tornado Hold, Tornado Blow
 * Heat: Fire Storm, Scorch Wheel, Flame Sword, Magma Bazooka, Solar Blaze
 * Aqua: Ice Slasher, Water Balloon, Bubble Lead, Salt Water, Water Shield
 * Elec: Thunder Beam, Spark Shock, Thunder Bolt, Thunder Claw, Plug Ball
 * Shield
 * Wood: Leaf Shield
 * Heat: Flame Blast
 * Aqua: MWS Barrier
