Fire Beam

Fire Beam is a move that appears in the console/PC version of Sonic Generations. It is an attack used by the Egg Dragoon where it fires a network of fire beams around the area.

Description
The Fire Beam is created from the cannon that also serves as the Egg Dragoon's left arm. Due to the cannon's structure which consists of several small pipe-like cannons that can be fetched or detached, the Egg Dragoon can create five fiery beams after detaching its cannon-like arm into the small cannons. Each fire beam is emitted from each small cannon, which by rotating them, the Egg Dragoon is able to do a 360° attack with these fire beams apart from the fact that each beam has a great length over the floor.

In gameplay, the Fire Beam is initiated right after the Ice Wave move, where the Egg Dragoon will rotate the fire beams around the area for a short time, then go to the Ice Wave move and repeat the cycle. When the Egg Dragoon is heavily damaged, it resorts to use the "Separation Attack" combo; where the top part of its body launches an extended version of the Fire Beam attack while the lower part launches periodical Ice Waves until the end of this combo, making it highly difficult to dodge. The Fire Beam is an attack that the Egg Dragoon only uses in the 3D perspective path, so should the Egg Dragoon enter the sideways-view section, the attack will be canceled.

To avoid getting a touch from the Fire Beam attack, the player must make great use of the Sonic Boost and Spin Jumps respectively, so they can keep up with the Egg Dragoon's movements.
