Eradication Beam

"The Eradication Beam discharges highly destructive Alien energy over a short period of time."

- Fan-made Description

General
The Eradication Beam is an extremely powerful Alien weapon that fires a long-range beam with no cooldown.

It appears just like the Rift Beam in combat.

Strategy
Due to the short beam duration, it is much harder to shield switch. Once a ship gets hit, you have to immediately strafe it back to not get targeted again. You can also block the beams by moving other ships in front of the target. However, given the short beam duration, the weapon usually shoots at the lead ship anyways.

This weapon has a very large minimum range. To reduce the damage taken, use cutters to get within its minimum range as quickly as possible.

Trivia

 * The Eradication Beam was first seen during Alien Mobilization in March 2017.
 * Previously named the Annihilation Beam by players, it had been renamed after the release of the Annihilator Battleship.
