In a function similar to that of the [[Plasma Beam]], the Light Beam sets enemies on fire. The charged Light Beam, known as the '''Lightblast''',<ref name=Notes/> fires a blast similar to that of a {{wp|Shotgun|shotgun}}. The exact spread of the blast is different with each shot. When locked onto an enemy, the Lightblast will home in on their location at a rapid speed. [[Samus Aran|Samus]] can use this homing effect to knock [[Dark Samus]] out of her [[Boost Ball]] in battle.
The Light Beam fires streams of super-heated light energy. It is a cross between the Ice Beam and the [[Plasma Beam]]; it fires about as slow as the Ice Beam, but its shares the Plasma Beam's properties by setting enemies on fire upon contact.  
 
The charged Light Beam shot, known as the '''Lightblast''',<ref name=Notes/> fires a blast similar to that of a {{wp|Shotgun|shotgun}}. In terms of beam spread, no two Lightblasts are the same.

Samus can use the Light Beam to open portals back to [[Aether]]. Shields with a dark polarity can be overloaded by the Light Beam. It can temporarily [[Light Crystal#Energy Crystal|energize]] Light Crystals. [[Lift Crystal]]s can also be manipulated through use of the Light Beam.
