Strategy
Shift Shot is an alternate take on Lunge, moving the enemy left instead of you right (among a couple other differences). One important difference is that Midrow Objects get to stay in the same place relative to your ship, making this a kind of alternate take on dodging that doesn't leave drones behind, such as Energy Drone.
Its A upgrade adds 1 damage, which is fairly underwhelming for an upgrade; Basic Shot upgrades just as well.
Its B upgrade moves the enemy 1 further to the left, also generally disappointing for an upgrade, but this kind of effect is rare enough that if you're leaning on it it could still be worth it.
