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.  
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.

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.
