Anchor Force

The Anchor Force is a merciless Force used by the R-13A Cerberus and the R-13A2 Hades, as it latches onto enemies and doesn't release until there's nothing left. The control rods are aimed forward instead of back, and act as a claw that attaches to the target. Pilots should be aware that this Force's strength lies in physical contact; the beams, while potent, are not the main focus of this Force.

It allows the pilot to use the following beams with the appropriate Laser Crystal:

Red: Shade Alpha: Produces a steady thin beam, which leaves a shadowy trail behind it as it moves. This "shade" also deals damage. Any equipped Round Bit devices will fire smaller bolts which follows the fighter's vertical movement.
Blue: Search Beta: These lasers can move up to 45 degrees diagonally to find a target. Similar to the Search Laser L45 on the Standard Force C.
Yellow: Terminator Gamma: Fires a strafing beam with a 180 degree field of effect in front of the fighter, starting straight down and ending straight up.

When detached, this Force does not possess ranged attacks, though the chain deals small amounts of contact damage. The player has a degree of control over the tether, able to either play it out and have it coil in the air, or pull it taut to create a straight line from the ship to the Force.

The Chain Force was the test model that provided the technology for the energetic chain that links the Force to the fighter. An enhanced version, the Anchor Force DX, is found on the R-13B Charon.

Appearances[]

The claw-shaped rods bite into objects they come into contact with as a means of destroying that object. It is linked to the Warship by a flexible beam of energy which is useful in damaging enemies and absorbing their fire.

Description:

The Force’s natural instinct to destroy is conveyed to the talon-like Control Rod. This prompts it to greedily devour any object it comes in contact with. The Control Rod alone is insufficient to manage the vast amounts of Bydo energy. An additional control line is connecting (connected) to the fighter directly.
