Use this cooldown period to deal damage to the armors. After every laser has fired 5 times, Omega's rotation will gradually reduce and switch direction while the lasers are temporarily inactive.Keep an eye on that laser so you know where to move to and take out the laser with the lowest health (Usually during the short pause after each time the lasers fire, or when Omega starts rotating in the opposite direction). The cannons unleash their laser beams in an anticlockwise pattern, starting with the one at the front.This phase of the Boss can act as a reference to and reminder of the HG-2000 Boss from Aces of the Luftwaffe: Squadron, which is a similarly designed drone that also is equipped with lasers, except that they fire in different and more various patterns. As a result, players need to move their Plane in a circular pattern along as the engaging lasers well up around them and reach a very long range, further than the edge of the screen. During this segment, Omega will continuously rotate round and round. They are presumably the strongest form of enemy armor in the game, enough to instantly tear your plane apart and shatter any active Energy Shield. In the Prologue Stage, the front two engines shoot out waves of bullet swarms which as part of the introduction to the game, deal no harm at all. These bullets are trickier to dodge having advanced target-tracking technology where once clustered together, they fly straight towards your Plane.Fires a wave of blue bullets which join up in clusters similar to the case of the other two engines.The clustered bullet waves repeat seven times before a brief pause is provided for point-blank attacks.Fire purple bullets in clusters of 3 rings and converge by falling toward the bottom of the screen.After disabling this engine's weapon system, Omega will rotate itself such that you can engage the other three. This engine is the first to engage you and it attacks on its own.Fires relentless waves of slow bullets in a radial circular pattern.Below is each of the weapon systems featured on the four engines. As one of the most sophisticated Bosses, Omega's engines are equipped with high-tech weapon systems. Rounding up the four corners of Omega are the four futuristic-looking electric engines that power the gargantuan fighter drone. The higher the Difficulty mode, the shorter the time taken for the launchers to recharge.They retract after each volley for a few seconds, then an escalating beeping cue accompanying a high-pitched whine signals the launch of the next volley. Each launcher releases a long volley of high-accuracy tracking missiles. Mounted in front of Omega's rear engines. Omega then attempts to destroy your Plane by rotating at great homing abilities, but slows down when your Plane is near the beam. When the laser turrets are cast out, the AI will announce a rather faintly-heard message "Laser is charged" and the laser cannon will turn on. They can only be torn down after the Gatling autocannons are destroyed (There is a force field that guards them from damage).Īfter blowing away the Gatling cannons, the front laser cannon of Omega will begin to charge up. The turrets cannot rotate while firing their beams.

Before the projectiles are released, the cannons themselves emit a loud and high pitched whining sound.Įach fires short but sweet bursts of green laser streams and track your Plane. Once they are ignited, Omega slowly rotates itself to try and aim at the Plane. Its most visible features include: the glowing and protected Core in the middle, which can either face the player's Plane directly or rotate slowly the four engines in the corners of the Boss which emit blue glow while inactive and a face in the front of the Boss, with eyes that glow yellow occasionally and two exhaust vents that act as nostrils which release smoke, resembling an angry bull.įires long barrages of high speed railgun projectiles. The drone has a shape of a square and is made of many armor plates. This Boss is uniquely known for being controlled by a sentient AI instead of Scarlet Mantis or General Mantis. Omega takes the form of a gigantic, heavily-armed and futuristic flying drone which is presumably a reconstruction of the Arachnotron Boss from Sky Force Anniversary and/or basis of a Boss's design from Aces of the Luftwaffe: Squadron.
