a little help with special weapons

[adam1589]

Okay...i've been working on my copy of MML1 for the n64

--side not: YES NINTENDO VERISON - i didnt have a PS at that time

i've found the homing buster, and got it to where t costs like 990000 zenny to upgrade energy

and i've heard loads about it -
i know it can home-in, but this is where i need help

i heard - once you fully upgrade it's energy, it become Infinitely energized so you could hold the trigger button, and let all enemies in the area just die

is this true? - i'm curious cause i honestly hate the homing buster with a chaos purple passion due to it's expensive upgrade costs...but if this is the case, then whenever i get the chance i'll upgrade it

---yes: my n64 still works jsut fine- i take care of my Game consoles

If you think the Active Buster is expensive in this game you should see the Shining Laser's upgrade costs in Legends 2, or any of the high-level weapons in Legends 2 compared to Legends 1's and Legends 2's Active Buster/Homing Missile.

But, yes, the Active Buster does go to Infinity in the Energy column.

Green is right! One of the final upgrades takes all money meaning 9,999,999 zenny!!!

i see...

so, another rumor i heard was the Active buster would become Mega's strongest weapon once all maxed

but it think that should be the shining laser, seeing as the shining laser can hit multiple enemies if all in a straight line

[Pitch]

Technically the only attribute the Shining Laser has that's better than the Active Buster is Attack. Active Buster's got Full Stats for everything but Attack by just a little bit. Shining Laser Maxed has full Attack. The Active Buster's stats for everything else match or are better than the Shining Laser's.

I see, i'll keep that in mind

but honestly if it came down to weapon you trusted the most - that'd be the powered buster for me, sure it has weak attack and fire power but it has good range

my fave S-wep is a tie between Spread buster and blade Arm for these reasons

Gun - fires a lot of bombs, that dont hurt you,
and
Sword - well it's the only one (-_-)

Yeah the powered bust is pretty nice against that Purple frog if you can get it to land.

The Active Buster, in my opinion, is superior because of how the shots explode, infinite ammo (a major plus), and shots that home in on enemies. I also think it looks cooler than just standing there with a rotating geometric shape that seems hard to aim, although I haven't used it much because I started the Hard Mode quickly. It also has more range which comes in handy, especially in boss battles. The Active Buster is more interesting than the Shining Laser, but that's just me.

With all this said: Active Buster > Shining Laser
