SAMUS

Samus Aran is the legendary bounty hunter who is well-known for defeating the Space Pirates and wiping out the dangerous Metroids. Though she was at first rumored to be a male cyborg, Samus revealed her true identity after she defeated the Space Pirates on Zebes. Her reputation grew as her reliability almost always guaranteed success in her hired jobs.

Samus is famous for her powerful Chozo crafted battle suit. It allows her to integrate various weaponry of different alien origin and transform into a ball of energy encased by a metal shell. Through the years she has experienced several upgrades. At the farthest point in the Metroid Series (Metroid Fusion) Samus' suit has changed appearance and she now has biologically integrated Metroid DNA.

Samus Strategies:

1. Attack from afar with homing missles, and go into Morph Ball when leaving for Health, Ammo, or anything else.
2. Attack up close with a mixture of Power Beam/Volt Driver and Missles. You weaken with the Power Beam/Volt Driver, and finish them off with the Missles. When escaping for Health/Ammo, switch to Morph Ball.
3.Attack with Morph Ball, and when you have them low spring out and finish them off with a charged Missle.
4. Stalk the enemy, and Snipe-fight up close.
5.Use magmaul and Charged shots to kill your enemy. Charged shots with a mixture of uncharged do a huge number of damage.
6.Weaken with charged Power Beam shots, and after they are weakened, go in for the kill with Morph Ball
7.Weaken with charged Judicator shots, preferably to the head, and as they escape for health, hit them with a charged missle.
Morph Ball Usage
The Morph Ball is among the fastest alt forms in the game. It has decent direction control, average power, and adequate speed. Overall, it's average and can do so some damage but has set backs as well.

The main source of damage from the Morph Ball is a Boost Bomb combo. It's a simple attack in which you boost into an opponent and then drop bombs while the boost launches you up. This will deal some decent damage and you can do it over and over.

Morph Ball Bombs also can be used to cover up tracks to escape and it has among the easiest time to get through tunnels.

The draw back is that the Morph Ball is very linear and can get attacked while attacking. Sylux users can dominate the Morph Ball with the LockJaw with triplines. Kanden can blast it with Volt Driver shots if the user is good enough. Any hunter can abuse the Magmaul to land hits and Weavel can use the Half-Turret in a narrow area where your moves are predictable.

Samus Biped Usage
Samus Aran is an excellent Hunter when used in the right hands. She starts out with Missiles, which happen to be her affinity weapon, and can get them back quite easily. They charge up to extra damage and home in on your opponent. Missiles travel fast, making them hard to dodge, and they cause splash damage.

Samus' Biped form is much simpler than most Hunters, relying on default weapons. She's also the only character in Story Mode, which gives anyone a chance to get good at her layout and controls, whereas other Hunters must be trained with.
