Wave Beam

Wave Beam
Location	Wave Beam Room, Norfair
Effect	Increases beam damage and adds penetration effect

Wave Beam is a beam upgrade that increases the damage of Samus's beam and allows it to pass through objects and surfaces. Note that it does not pierce enemies, like Plasma Beam does.

It is collected in all non-low% categories due to the damage increase it provides and the X-Factor.

Wave Beam provides the following increase in damage:

Without	Damage	With	Damage	Multiplier
Power Beam	20	Wave	50	×2.5
Ice Beam	30	I+W	60	×2
Spazer	40	W+S	70	×1.75
Ice+Spazer	60	I+W+S	100	×1.33
Plasma	150	W+P	250	×1.67
Ice+Plasma	200	I+W+P	300	×1.5
