Samus's primary offensive tools are her beam weapons, each with unique properties and elemental affinities. The Power Beam is your standard weapon, offering reliable damage and infinite ammo. The Dark Beam fires dark energy, effective against Light Aether enemies and objects, and can freeze targets with its charge shot. It consumes Dark Ammo.
The Light Beam fires light energy, devastating against Dark Aether enemies and objects, and its charge shot creates a temporary light shield. It consumes Light Ammo. Finally, the Annihilator Beam combines both light and dark energy, dealing massive damage to all enemy types and capable of stunning targets with its charge shot. It consumes both Light and Dark Ammo simultaneously. Switching between these beams strategically is vital for efficient combat and puzzle-solving.
