Spiral and Kalina Ann Question

Hi to you all! I'm learning this game and practicing JC, RG, routing, etc I have one question about the route. Why Spiral is never used? Even in DMD modes. I already saw the guide with the damage listed and spiral does 10 times the damage of the handguns and can be RG canceled (or switch cancelled but that's slower). I see that in normal difficulty makes no much difference, but in the latest DMD WR there are parts were is just shooting, and I ask if Spiral wouldn't be best for that (with RG cancel) DPS wise and even raise style faster and without penalty (I don't know exactly why, but spiral spam is not penalized and always raise style). In bloody palace runs is used, and I understand that bloody palace is mostly about damage optimization, but in NG is not used. I saw all the video guides from Simoteus but he doesn't say much about spiral. And second question. The damage tables says that Kalina Ann does 150 and 100 from smoke effect. This values stacks (250 damage for the direct target) or is separated (150 to direct target and 100 for the rest)? In advance, thank you for your answers and I hope you are fine. PD: sorry for bad English or grammar, I'm not a native speaker.

Spiral is not used in most runs because it costs time to get it and it's slower than Shotgun. DMD is not very optimized so it's possible Spiral is useful there. I don't know how Kalina Ann's damage works, but it does good damage.

Shotgun is better or comparable to spiral even for medium or long range? I also see the advantage of shotgun since it can be used in the air. Thanks for your answers!

Thank you so much hies. I'm following all your runs on harder difficulties. I will surely check your guide. I was just asking because how broken is spiral with RG cancel on casual and even S ranking all missions (something I'm currently doing aswell). Again thanks for your answers! I will stay in touch with the updates.
