  • Grapple Voltage
rdfs:comment
  • If Samus siphons energy from something, she gains health, and if she gives energy, she loses health. Giving up energy is a useful gameplay mechanic - Phazon enemies can be overloaded and explode, and later into the game, Samus is practically required to lose energy via this method. The Grapple Voltage can also be used to drain energy from certain enemies (like Shield Pirate Troopers or "Dragoon" Battle Drones) which can be grappled. In some cases Samus needs to drain energy into special terminals to power down shields blocking doors.

Notes
  • Objects in the environment that shimmer can be given energy or have it taken away.
  • The Grapple Voltage ability is tied into your Suit's power. Draining energy from an object will replenish yours and sending energy into an object will drain energy from you.

In some cases Samus needs to drain energy into special terminals to power down shields blocking doors. Enemies are killed much faster if they are overloaded with energy than if all their energy is siphoned away - however this is usually a very inefficient method in combat, as even the lowly "Dragoon" Battle Drone requires almost a full energy tank to kill. Like several power-ups in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, it has a Hypermode counterpart, which is called the Hyper Grapple.
