Freeze the Pirates and use them as platforms to climb the room. Sometimes the Pirates may decide to climb the wrong way; patience may be required to wait for them to come back. If enough energy is available, it can be easier to use i-frames to jump up through a Pirate and freeze it from above, compared to jumping around it.

Requires:

"canBePatient"
"canTrickyUseFrozenEnemies"
"canTrickyDodgeEnemies"

  "or": [
    "Wave",

Dev note: Plasma is hard to use effectively as it's easy to accidentally kill the Pirates with it.
