Liner Shot

Liner Shot is a skill available in every game of the Legend of Dark Witch series. It is a staple of the character Zizou Olympia.

Effect
Liner Shot flies across the entire screen, starting from Zizou’s location and going to the edge Zizou is facing or an object, whichever comes first.

No enemy has a weakness to Liner Shot.

At its basic level, Liner Shot will fire a single beam straight ahead. In The Legend of Dark Witch and this can be Enhanced twice through the Line enhancement. Level 2 will fire a second beam at an angle slightly above the first, while Level 3 will fire a third beam at an angle slightly below the first.

Additionally, with the Power enhancement, the Liner Shot will become more powerful, turning orange at Level 2 and red at Level 3 to indicate this power increase.

The Legend of Dark Witch 2
In The Legend of Dark Witch 2 the number of Line Enhancements was increased to a maximum of 4. It follows the same pattern as Levels 2 and 3, but using the Level 2 and Level 3 beams as reference points instead of the Level 1 beam.

Similarly, the number of Power enhancements was increased to a maximum of 4. At Levels 2 and 3 it appears the same as in The Legend of Dark Witch. At Level 4 it turns purple and changes shape.

The Legend of Dark Witch 3
In The Legend of Dark Witch 3 the number of Line Enhancements and Power Enhancements were reduced back to two, and combined into a single “Width” Enhancement. Level 2 Width is the same as both Level 2 Line and Level 2 Power from the previous games, while Level 3 Width is the same as both Level 3 Line and Level 3 Power from the previous games.
