Energy Discharge (formerly known as Energy Beam) is a very powerful and versatile ability that allows its user to shoot energy in a variety of forms.
Description
As its name suggests, Energy Discharge allows its user to generate and release energy in a variety of manners, ranging from damaging projectiles and laser to powerful shockwaves.
The energy emitted from the user's ability is in their signature colour.
Usage
Energy Beams
- Long-range Beam: Users with this ability are capable of firing powerful long-range energy lasers. The size of these beams can be altered by the user; the largest beams are comparable to that of the Kamehameha from the Dragon Ball franchise while the smallest beams are about the size of a small bullet.
- Energy Spheres: By concentrating energy into their palms, users can create throw-able spheres that explode on contact, rather than beams. While more powerful than the traditional beams, they also have a far shorter range.
- Propulsion: Users can use Energy Beams to propel themselves at high speeds.[2]
- Sniping: Blyke has also used his ability to snipe foes from afar. He is capable of hitting a human from a far distance and elevation with deadly precision.
- Enhanced Energy Regeneration: Users can regain energy when this ability is activated.[3] In high tiers, it is both passively and actively manifested by using surplus energy to increase regeneration.[4] That energy is gained by sleeping and eating lots of food.[5]
Energy Discharge
- Energy Burst: Blyke can disperse his Energy Beam in the form of a shockwave, which was first used to clear smoke. Later, while battling Lance and his goons, Blyke showed that he is able to dispserse his Energy Beam in the form of a full-body shockwave that numerous full-grown adults flying. He also used this ability in the climax of his battle with Zeke.
- Finger Beams: Ultilized by John during his battle against Blyke, John has shown the ability to shoot smaller beams from all ten of his fingers. Said beams are concentrated enough to pierce through people. After losing to John, Blyke practiced this technique for a few days and learned how to shoot beams from three fingers. Later, Blyke would learn how to shoot beams from eight of his fingers while battling Lance.
Other
- Homing Shock Beam (John only): By combining Energy Beam with Lightning and Hunter, John can shoot numerous lightning-enhanced energy beams that home-in on their targets. Not only can these beams deal massive amounts of damage, but they can also shock foes.
Strengths and Limitations
Initially introduced as "Energy Beam", Energy Discharge is easily one of the most versatile projectile generation ability to ever be introduced in unORDINARY. One of the key aspects of Energy Beam is not only its destructive power, but also its ability to create numerous different projectiles ranging from continuous beams, precise shots, and even sphere-shaped explosives. In addition to the numerous long-ranged capabilities of Energy Beam, the ability can also be used to propel its user, allowing them to jump higher and evade attacks faster.
Tiers
At a god-tier level, a user can generate their beams in up to ten fingers. With Aura Manipulation, they can combine it with other ability, such as Lightning to potentially multiple the destructive forces. It can also be combined with Hunter to allow it to home in on their target.
At a high-tier level, a user can disperse beams throughout at least eight of their fingers. Additionally, they can manipulate them into smaller, more concentrated projectiles. Its passive can regenerate faster which can heal up wounds overnight.
Blyke's mastery
After a few weeks of practice, Blyke is able to increase the number of beams he can disperse throught his fingers to three .
With even more mastery through intense training, Blyke displays that he can disperse energy to perform feats such as clearing smoke or generating shockwaves from his body. With numerous different projectile options, he even displayed enough mastery to snipe opponents from rooftops and intercept other projectiles. It is unknown if John is capable of these feats due to having less familiarity and practice with the ability.
Weakness
Despite it's versatility and power, it is one of the more predictable abilities in the UnOrdinary verse, especially at an elite-tier level. Blyke is aware of this and feels discouraged by this (at first.)
Notes & Trivia
