FLASH killing the BOSS! This is a relatively safe attack mode and involves positioning your ship just behind a corner wall so that the wall is protecting you from the enemy but you are far enough out so that one of your laser canons shoots past the wall and can hit your target. Your enemy sees only the "FLASH" of your laser and is soon destroyed. Your other laser simply fires into the wall next to you. I call this the FLASH method for killing bots and surprisingly enough it even works on the level 7 BOSS. This is a demo illustrates a FLASH kill of the level 7 BOSS. What makes this approach different is that it requires less skill than most other methods. The general premise is forget about every thing but the BOSS. Kill him and your home free. As you will see in the demo, no other kills were made. All the other bots were still around after the kill but you can just ignore them and fly to the exit. No missiles were used either. Only a level four quad laser. When executed properly, only a very minimal amount of shields are needed to make it to the exit. There is not much style here, but if your mission is to make it to level 8 without cheats this can do it. Lastly, if you are not able to kill the BOSS from the doorway, you may be able to substantially weaken him using the FLASH method thus making for a much fairer fight out in the open.
