### Details

The Varcon ship of war, as stated by the Varcon commander piloting it, is a ship created by the Varcon specifically designed for combat. This boss ship has a total of 6 attacks if you include the ramming, or 5 attacks if you don't. This ship's appearance has two frontal guns and two turrets at the very start, but after destroying those, more attacks open up. The main weapon of this ship appears to be the Incineration Beam, which is similar to the Laser Cannon which can be purchased for your ship. The other attacks (not in exact order) of the Varcon ship include; missiles, orange (maybe plasma) splitting orbs, and the aforementioned frontal guns and turrets.

### First Stage

The first stage of the Varcon ship of war includes three attacks (frontal guns, turrets, and missiles). The frontal guns shoot one after the other, shooting a single shot every time. The turrets shoot together, and they shoot a burst fire of 4 projectiles every time they fire. The missiles start firing sometime afterwards, appearing to fire in volleys of 3 from 3 holes on either side of the ship. These missiles are fairly deadly, and tend to go off-screen before returning and homing in on the player. The missile volleys also fire one after the other, similar to the frontal guns. The first stage is defeated when you destroy both frontal guns and both of the turrets.

### Second Stage

The second stage keeps the missile volleys from the first stage, but now include an attack of a double volley of 4 orange orbs. These orbs appear from the holes which are now in place of where the turrets used to be. Unlike the other weapons in stage 1, these orbs fire a volley from both sides at the same time, which consists of 4 orbs each. These orbs fire 1 after the other on either side until there is 4 fired, in which the Varcon ship stops firing them. These orbs are launched, and they immediately start slowing down. After a couple seconds, the orange orbs split up into 4 other orbs which speed towards wherever the player is. They split into 4 orbs each and fire towards the player one after the other. The 4 orbs on either side split up into 16 orbs, so in total there are 32 orbs shot towards the player per attack. If you survive long enough from the missiles and orange orbs, eventually the Varcon commander piloting the ship will announce his Incineration Beam, which is the next stage. All attacks against the ship up until the Incineration Beam do no damage to the Varcon ship, and instead stage 2 is all about surviving until the Incineration Beam reveals itself and you can destroy it.

### Third Stage

The third stage is activated after the Varcon commander's dialogue is finished, in which the Incineration beam opens up to fire a deadly green laser, which deals lots of damage if it hits. This beam fires for a while and then stops, and then recharges and fires again for a total of 3 times before closing for some time. During this time when the beam is active, the only way to attack the Varcon ship is by attacking the Incineration Beam, as indicated by the "weakness" text that appears next to it. This beam can be dodged, however sharp movements will also result in the Varcon ship turning sharply as well to accommodate your movements, similar to The Leviathan in mission 4. The missile and orange orb attacks from stage 2 stay in stage 3, and will still fire upon you while you dodge the beam. After you manage to destroy the beam, you can suddenly attack the previously invincible shields that protected it and you can also attack the whole body of the ship, which means you are now on the final stage, stage 4.

### Fourth/Final Stage

The fourth or final stage is the very last stage of the Varcon ship. This stage occurs when you have destroyed the Incineration Beam, and is the last stage left before you defeat the boss. This stage is when the Varcon ship is vulnerable, as the previously invincible body and shields of the Varcon ship are now able to be attacked, however the ship still has it's missiles and orange orb attacks, and also attempts to ram you if you still haven't destroyed it after a while. Destroying the shields first weakens the hp of the body of the ship, so it is advisable to destroy them first. After destroying the shields, the ship's front is exposed and you can now destroy the ship. After defeating this last stage, you defeat the boss and can collect the coins and move on to mission 6.

#### Trivia

- The missiles can be destroyed if you attack them

- The body and shields of the ship are invincible, but after the Incineration Beam is destroyed they are suddenly able to be destroyed
