SignBit_AX
Decoded Name |
Sign Bit Array X (Positive or Negative) |
Operation |
Formation of strongly polarized explosive elements. Upon sticking to a target, each element initiates a detonator causing a strong synchronized explosion on the hull of the target.
The polarity can be either positive (green colored elements, or SignBit_AP) or negative (red colored elements, or SignBit_AN).

Strategy
SignBit requires careful use of weapons. When facing a
negative (red) one, attack it with the
red particle laser to dissipate it. When facing the
positive (green) one, attack it with
either the
green ripple buster or
the blue string laser (since both weapons have the same positive polarity).
Note that
SignBit will directly attract to the ship if it gets shot with a reverse polarity. In this case, it can be repelled if a weapon of the matching polarity was fired. However, this
must be done quickly before its detonator goes off.
