===Beams=== | ===Beams=== | ||
====Power Beam==== | ====Power Beam==== | ||
Samus' standard beam, the Power Beam, has a very high rate of fire and low damage. It has inexhaustible ammunition due to the nanotechnology built into the [[Arm Cannon]] by the [[Chozo]]. | |||
====Charge Beam==== | ====Charge Beam==== | ||
Allows Samus to charge up her currently active beam to up to 10x the damage of one shot. It is accompanied by a visual cue that let's the player know it's fully charged. It can be used with all beams, minus the [[Phazon Beam]], including the [[Paralyzer]]. In the Primes, a sustained fully charged shot can act like a tractor beam, attracting power-ups into Samus. | |||
====Wave Beam==== | ====Wave Beam==== | ||
The Wave Beam travels through walls, transparent, and translucent objects. It is much more powerful than the Power Beam and, in [[Metroid Prime]], it shoots electrical energy and can be used to open Purple Doors on Tallon IV, as well as energize Power Conduits, homes in on enemies, overloads electrical enemies, and defeat [[Wave Trooper|Wave Troopers]]. In [[Metroid Fusion]], it allows the [[Arm Cannon]] to fire two types of beams to fire simultaneously. | |||
====Ice Beam==== | ====Ice Beam==== | ||
The Ice Beam is a very integral weapon in the entire Metroid series. It makes killing [[Metroid|Metroids]] easier by freezing them and shooting a [[missile]]. It fires a blast of ice and can freeze most enemies when charged or will slow them down. | |||
====Plasma Beam==== | ====Plasma Beam==== | ||
The Plasma Beam fires very powerful waves of energy that can travel through anything, walls, glass, and even enemies, allowing to hit multiple targets. It is Samus' most powerful conventional weapon in every appearance. In the Prime series, it fires molten energy that can set most enemies on fire, and even disintegrate some enemies. In Corruption, it can also be used more intricately to weld broken circuits to restore power to devices. | |||
====Grapple Beam==== | ====Grapple Beam==== | ||
Not necessarily an offensive weapon, although it can be used as such in [[Super Metroid]], the Grapple Beam fires a rope-like beam of energy that Samus can use to swing and propel herself to ledges too far or high to jump. Only certain points are viable attachment points for the Grapple Beam. In Echoes, the Grapple Beam was stolen by the [[Ing]] when Samus followed [[Dark Samus]] through a [[Portal]] into [[Dark Aether]] and given to a [[Dark Grenchler]] that resides in the [[Crypt]]. Upon defeat, it drops the Grapple Beam and can be retaken into Samus' arsenal. | |||
====Diffusion Beam==== | ====Diffusion Beam==== | ||
Only in [[Metroid: Other M]], it makes charged [[Arm Cannon]] shots diffuse upon hitting a target to hit multiple enemies. It is compatible with all other beams [[Samus Aran|Samus]] acquires in the game. | |||
====Long Beam==== | ====Long Beam==== | ||
The Long Beam makes Samus' beam shots stretch all the way across the screen in the 2D games. It doesn't add any power or any other effect, it just extends the distance the shots go. | |||
====Wide Beam==== | ====Wide Beam==== | ||
Only in [[Metroid Fusion]], the Wide Beam adds a no power to each individual shot, but it does fire multiple shots that make it easier to hit enemies. There is no other useful make of this beam. | |||
====Spazer Beam==== | ====Spazer Beam==== | ||
Also widens Samus' beam shots and doesn't add any firepower. Although, in Other M, the Diffusion Beam functions the same as the Spazer Beam. It is replaced by other beams in every game that it's in. | |||
====Dark Beam==== | ====Dark Beam==== | ||
The Dark Beam is one of many items originally wielded by [[A-Kul]] during the Luminoth-Ing War. After failing to become useful to the Luminoth, they abandoned the Dark Beam expansion to focus on other ventures. It fires a rather large, spiral-shaped ball of dark energy. It is very useful against light enemies. The charged version is called the '''Entangler''' and can freeze enemies solid, similar to the [[Ice Beam]]. It can also nullify [[Light Beacon|Light Beacons]] and [[Light Crystal|Light Crystals]]. It can also activate [[Portal|Portals]] to [[Dark Aether]], activate [[Lift Crystal|Lift Crystals]], and overload light-based shield such as those on the [[Ingsmasher|Ingsmashers]]. | |||
====Light Beam==== | ====Light Beam==== | ||
The Light Beam was also wielded by [[A-Kul]] and was proven to be very effective against the Ing. Samus find this in the hands of [[Ing]]. It fires a stream of white-hot light energy and can set enemies on fire. The charged version is the '''Lightblast''' and fires like a shotgun, as one big blast. However, if locked on, all the shots will home in on the enemy. It can energize [[Lift Crystal]]s, [[Light Beacon]]s, and [[Light Crystal]]s temporarly. It can also overload dark-based shields on enemies and activate Portals to Aether. | |||
====Annihilator Beam==== | ====Annihilator Beam==== | ||
The most powerful weapon wielded by [[A-Kul]], it fires light and dark energy at the same time. It has a rate of fire comparable to the Power Beam and can home into enemies without even locking on them. [[Quadraxis]] guards this item, as it is incredibly prized by the [[Ing]], and it uses it against Samus in their battle in the [[Hive Temple]]. It can supercharge Crystals and Beacons that allure Ing to come into it's destructive field and kill them instnatly. The charged shot is the '''Disruptor'''. When paired with the [[Echo Visor]], it can also override [[Echo Key Beam System]]s. It can also energize Light and Dark Portals. Lastly, it can also overload shiels of light or dark polarity. | |||
====Nova Beam==== | ====Nova Beam==== | ||
Space Pirate technology, the Nova Beam fires high-frequency shots that can pierce Blue [[Phazite]] Armor as well as [[Metroid]] membranes and strike their nuclei, resulting in instant death. It's slightly more powerful than the Plasma Beam. | |||
====Phazon Beam==== | ====Phazon Beam==== | ||
Only officially named the Phazon Beam in [[Metroid Prime]] during the [[Metroid Prime (specimen)|final boss fight]] when standing in a pool of liquid [[Phazon]]. The [[Arm Cannon]] becomes covered in Phazon veins and shoots out what appears to be eletrical rays of energy to damage enemies. It is vastly more powerful than any other weapon Samus possesses and can kill any enemy much faster and more efficiently. | |||
====Hyper Beam==== | ====Hyper Beam==== | ||
In [[Super Metroid]], when the [[Hatchling|Baby]] dies above Samus, it collapses on her and gives her the Hyper Beam that allows Samus to kill [[Mother Brain]]. It fires a rainbow-hued stream of energy that is immensely powerful. It is the only weapon capable of killing Mother Brain. In [[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]], when Samus enter Hyper Mode, she fires a very powerful beam that can kill any enemy faster and overload enemies with Phazon energy to damage them. It also can be charged in Corruption to fires and continuous stream of Phazon bullets for a few seconds until the charge wears off. | |||
===Affinity Weapons=== | |||
====Battlehammer==== | ====Battlehammer==== | ||
The weapon of choice by [[Weavel]], it fires green shots of energy that arc downward and causes a small explosion upon impact. It's fueled by the [[Universal Ammo]]. | |||
====Imperialist==== | ====Imperialist==== | ||
The weapon of choice by [[Trace]], it is a sniper rifle the fires a highly accurate shot from a long distance. It is the only [[Affinity Weapon]] that cannot be charged. The firing rate is slow, but the damage is incredibly high. It's fueled by the [[Universal Ammo]]. | |||
====Judicator==== | ====Judicator==== | ||
The weapon of choice by [[Noxus]], it fires purple shots of sub-zero plasma that freeze anything in its path. It's fueled by the [[Universal Ammo]]. | |||
====Magmaul==== | ====Magmaul==== | ||
The weapon of choice by [[Spire]], it fires a grenade of magma that can bounce off walls and floors and explodes a few seconds later with explosive force. It's fueled by the [[Universal Ammo]]. | |||
====Shock Coil==== | ====Shock Coil==== | ||
The weapon of choice by [[Sylux]], it fires blue shots of energy effective at close range. If locked on for a few seconds before firing, the damage increases. Only Sylux can use it to its full potential, using it to restore his own health. It's fueled by the [[Universal Ammo]]. | |||
====Volt Driver==== | ====Volt Driver==== | ||
The weapon of choice by [[Kanden]], it fires yellow spheres of energy straight ahead. It's slow, but deal more damage when compared to similar weapons. It's fueled by the [[Universal Ammo]]. | |||
====Omega Cannon==== | ====Omega Cannon==== | ||
An extremely powerful weapon Samus used against [[Gorea]] in [[Metroid Prime Hunters]]. It is located in the [[Oubliette]]. It was apparently developed by the [[Alimibics]] before they were wiped out by [[Gorea]] before Samus arrived. | |||
===Other=== | |||
====Paralyzer==== | ====Paralyzer==== | ||
Samus' pistol she uses for offense when in the Zero suit. It doesn't have an real power. Even when fully charged, the shot only stuns enemies, allowing Samus to escape and/or hide. | |||
