About Burst

Holding the Burst button uses some of the Burst Gauge in order to fire the Burst beam, the Silver Hawk Burst's most powerful weapon. The gauge can be recharged by attacking enemies, connecting with lasers and dissipating enemy bullets.


How to use the Burst (For LEGEND, NEXT and FORMULA)

Burst Beam

Hold down the Burst Button to fire a powerful Burst Beam from the front. When you release the button, the Burst Beam will deactivate. In addition to destroying enemies, it can dissipate almost all enemy bullets. The downside is that it uses up a lot of Burst Gauge energy.



Fixed Burst

Press the Burst Button twice quickly, or press the Fixed Burst Button to lock the Burst Part that fires the beam. In addition to destroying enemies, it can dissipate almost all enemy bullets. It uses less Burst Gauge energy than the normal Burst Beam, and can last for a longer amount of time. Hold down the Shot Button during a Fixed Burst to lock its direction.

When you release the Shot Button, the Burst Beam's nozzle will rotate. The direction of the beam is affected by the positioning of the Burst Part in relation to your ship. For LEGEND and FORMULA, it will be the reverse of your ship's direction. For NEXT, it will be the same direction your ship is facing.

If you hold down the Shot Button again after changing direction, you can lock the direction of the beam. If you press the Burst Button again or run out of Burst Gauge, the Fixed Burst will deactivate.

Burst Counter

If you activate your Burst at the same time as an Enemy's Burst while in the path of their beam, you will fire a powerful Counter Beam. You can also activate Counter Beams from other directions with the correct timing. Firing your Burst just as the enemy Burst hits your ship is key.

How to use the Spark Burst (for ASSAULT)

Firing a Spark Burst

Press the Burst Button once to fire a Spark Burst. The Spark Burst continues moving forward as it destroys enemies and bullets. Once the Burst Gauges run out, the Spark Burst will disappear.

Burst Finish

Press the Burst Button again while firing a Spark Burst to unleash a Burst Finish.

How to use the Black Hole Bomb (for GAIDEN)

Black Hole Bomb

Press the Burst Button once when the Burst Gauge turns yellow to use up the entire Burst Gauge and fire a Black Hole Bomb. The Black Hole Bomb is a powerful attack that sucks up enemies and bullets.

How to use the α Burst Beam (for GENESIS)

α Burst Beam

When you have two Support Units, hold down the Burst Button to prepare for a Burst. When you release the Burst Button, you will fire a α Burst Beam until the Burst Gaunge runs out. By hitting an enemy's Burst Beam with your α Burst Beam, you can easily activate a Burst Counter. The longer you counter an enemy's Burst Beam, the more powerful the α Burst Beam becomes.
