A Bit Device inherited from R-Type Leo, along with the Psy Bit +. Collecting a Bit powerup provides both Bits at the same time.
Appearances[]
R-Type Leo[]
Description[]
This is a silver Bit that has the same firepower as the R-9Leo Leo.
Usage[]
Since there is no Force system in R-Type Leo, the Laser Crystal upgrades the Psy Bit directly. When the crystal is picked up for the first time, Leo gets the Bit Devices which fire a standard Vulcan shot in the same way as the ship's basic gun. Further upgrades give the Bit Devices the ability to fire the lasers. The pilot can change the direction of the device to provide rear firepower.
By holding the shot button, the Bit Devices will launch themselves as a homing attack known as Psy Bit Cipher to almost impact anything in their way and ignore terrains. The gauge keeps depleting while the homing attack is still active, and when it's fully depleted, the homing attack will be forced to stop. Releasing the shot button returns the devices to Leo and recovers the gauge.
R-Type Final/R-Type Final 2[]
Description[]
Can shoot lasers and also has a homing attack. Pursuit time changes depending on the charge volume.
Usage[]
Abbreviated as P in the armament. The Psy Bit can fire the same lasers as the Leo Force. If used without any Laser Crystal upgrade, or with any of the three custom ships (R-99 Last Dancer, R-100 Curtain Call, R-101 Grand Finale) and not equipped along with a Leo Force, it will fire a standard Vulcan shot in the same way as the ships' basic gun. The pilot can change the direction of the device to provide rear firepower.
The Psy Bit can also block certain projectiles like the Shield Bit does.
When at least 1 Loop of Wave Cannon is used, the Bit Devices will launch themselves as a homing attack to also impact anything in their way and ignore terrains, quickly returning to the ship afterwards.
