Ice Beam: Difference between revisions

Authorized in [[Sector 3 (Pyrosphere)|Pyrosphere]], the Ice Beam can freeze small enemies. Adam authorizes the weapon while Samus battles enhanced [[Zebesian]]s and other enemies with increased shielding capabilities.  The upgrade is required to defeat many bosses in ''Other M''. Aside from its increased power, the freezing ability of the Ice Beam becomes useful. It is also required to bypass certain obstructions, such as freezing a platform in place. Unlike other games, frozen enemies cannot be used as platforms, however it sets some enemies up for an [[Overblast]] or a [[Lethal Strike]]. Also unlike other games, frozen enemies fall due to gravity instead of staying in place. Most freezable enemies are only partially freezable. That is, only a section of their bodies are frozen. For example [[Dessgeega]] are frozen only at the legs and [[Zebesian]]s' claws are frozen shut.
