>Signal BeamFires a simple, continuous beam comprised of multiple segments, each of which deal damage. There's a brief delay between rounds.
>Charge BeamCan be rapidly fired as a simple laser, or charged and released as an electric ball. Charged version pierces enemies.
>Bug BuzzIn addition to a weaker bullet, periodically releases strong, short-ranged piercing sound waves from Vikavolt's center.
>Shock WaveIn addition to a standard bullet, periodically releases blue bolts of electricity that home in on enemies.
