	[[Burst Rounds]] is considered to be the most versatile high-efficiency puck passing psych. [[Flame Blast]] combines high efficiency and a fast firing rate, and obsoletes almost every other psych with lower efficiency. The [[Dragon Couture]] "dream deck" features both of these psychs, which gives Dragon Couture the nod over [[Pegaso]] as the brand with the best possible maingame deck.

		+	[[Entanglement]], despite being tied for the worst efficiency in the game, is an effective psych because its activation is almost instant and will not tie up Neku while it deals its damage. Conversely, [[Frostbite]] and [[Holy Light]] are considered to be the two worst offensive psychs in the game: not only are they tied for the lowest efficiency, but they have a significant charge time, and Neku is vulnerable during activation.

	One would believe that the penetrating bullet pins, with much higher pin ATK, are the superior pins. However, as a penetrating bullet goes through an enemy, that enemy becomes invincible for a few frames. If all penetrating bullets are fired rapidly at an enemy, about half the bullets will miss! Therefore, the regular bullet pins, [[Sexy Beam]] and [[Black Venus]], deal more overall damage than the penetrating bullets! Black Venus is only available in the postgame, but is better than Sexy Beam because of its shorter reboot time.

Other than via a mingle shop, the pins can only be obtained after the game has been completed, and each pin must normally be won off from certain Noise on <span style="color:red;">'''Ultimate'''</span> difficulty. WildKat will have one of the pins for sale, which is determined by the DS unit.

-	Most of the pins can only be obtained after the game has been completed (unless a Mingle Shop is used), and each pin must be won off from certain Noise on <span style="color:red;">'''Ultimate'''</span> difficulty, with one exception - WildKat will have one pin for sale; which Darklit planet pin is for sale is determined by the DS the player is currently using, meaning that placing the player's game into another DS may offer the player another Darklit Planet pin. There are 6 pins in total, numbering from No. 213-218. Each pin can be used separately, and they are all effective on their own. But only when all 6 are used together in the same deck, are their true potential reached. While the player is using all 6 Darklit Planets, pin efficiency is multiplied by 3. This makes these 6 pins together some of the most damaging in the game. Not just that, but they tend to work together very well. In addition to adding a great deal of damage to each pin, when used together select pins a have a chance to apply abnormal status conditions to the enemy. Some of the Darklit Planet pins share Psychs with the '''Original Six''' pins the player starts the game with. All of the pins are named after planets in our Solar System.	+	Each pin may be used by itself, but when all of the pins in the planet set are in the same deck, psych [[efficiency]] is tripled.

However, Force Rounds has slightly higher efficiency and fires slightly faster. Therefore, Force Rounds is recommended over Energy Rounds. [[Innocence Beam]] is virtually a faux Energy Rounds pin, so it is used if the player feels like having two "Energy Rounds" pins in the same deck.

	'''Lance Lunge''' is a positive [[psych]] found on four pins. It is activated by touching an enemy. Neku will move in and thrust the targeted enemy, knocking it back a good distance. Note that it is possible for Neku to miss if he does not auto-align himself correctly or if the enemy moves before the thrust is complete. Lance Lunge pins are categorized under B [[class]].
