Zen Ability

Zen Abilities are the third ability on a ship's information tab, To use Zen Abilities, the player must lift their finger from their screen to charge and tap again to fire. The player's ship remains immobile as the Zen Ability is charging, as the player's finger touching the screen while it is charging will cancel the charge. After each use, the ability charge time will increase by a certain amount and can only be reduced to the base charging time if the player does not use the Zen Ability.

### Special Zen Modes

In addition to the other Zen Modes, three ships also have their own unique Zen Modes, all of which are Super-Rare.

##### Tracking Minigun (Corsair)

The Tracking Minigun is a Zen ability unique to the Corsair. When activated, Tracking Minigun causes a cannon similar to the Dragonfly's main weapon to fire at enemies for a short time. It will aim towards a single enemy (whichever requires less rotation to aim at) until said enemy is destroyed or if the player's movement causes another enemy to be the preferred target. When upgraded to Ultimate, small homing missiles like those from Missile Swarm accompany the minigun, further increasing its damage.

##### Nightfury (Mirage)

The Mega Laser is an offensive Zen Ability unique to the Mirage. Once activated, it will charge after a few seconds and requires the player to set their finger back down onto the screen to fire. When fired, the Nightfury appears as a massive purple laser, and deals devastating damage, especially against larger enemies like Condors. If the Mirage has been upgraded to its Delta Apex, the laser will clear any bullets in its path (excluding lasers).

##### Trinity Teleport (Trinity)

The Trinity Teleport is a Neutral Zen Ablity unique to the Trinity. It works just like a regular Teleport, but when the Trinity arrives at the location it has teleported to, it fires a Darkfire blast, dealing a moderate amount of damage to enemy ships. When upgraded to Ultimate, it clears bullets in an area around the Trinity when it teleports, just like the normal Teleport's Ultimate upgrade.
