The '''Wavebuster''' is the [[Charge Combo]] of the [[Wave Beam]]. It is found in the [[Tower of Light]] and is exclusive to the original ''[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]''. It is activated by fully charging the Wave Beam and firing a [[Missile]]. The Wavebuster uses ten Missiles upon activation, and five Missiles for every second of use thereafter. The Wavebuster generates a stream of electricity that will automatically lock on to a target, causing continuous damage. If the target is neutralized or moves out of range, the Wavebuster will lock onto a new target automatically.

== Acquisition ==
[[File:Wavebuster mp1 Screenshot.jpg|200px|left|thumb|[[Samus Aran|Samus]] uses the Wavebuster to attack [[Metroid Prime (specimen)|Metroid Prime]].]]
The Wavebuster rests at the top of the [[Tower of Light]]. To reach the top, [[Samus Aran|Samus]] must destroy several cracked sections of pillar using [[Missile]]s. On easy mode, each cracked block will need to be shot with three Missiles before they are destroyed; in hard mode, each block requires six Missiles (or one [[Super Missile]]). The blocks are protected by indestructible [[Oculus]] which will absorb inaccurately fired Missiles.

When sections of all four pillars on any particular level have been destroyed, the pillars drop a level, giving Samus access to another series of platforms. [[Plated Puffer]]s are released when the pillars drop, but can easily be avoided if Samus quickly proceeds to the next level. The Wavebuster becomes accessible after all the blocks are destroyed.

==Trivia==
*The Wavebuster can be used to destroy the [[Cloaked Drone]] with little effort due to its homing properties; they work whether Samus is locked on to the enemy or not.
