Metroid Prime Hunters/Oubliette (Arena)

Play in this arena is a constant race to the top. The ultimate weapon awaits any hunter quick enough to reach the top first. This arena features the Omega Cannon. Though powerful, the Omega Cannon does have some downsides. If you shoot it in your imediate proximity, run for shelter. If you do not not seek shelter as soon as you launch the nuke you will kill yourself. The arena provides you with quite a few spots of shelter. The second downside is that the Omega Cannon has only a single round. Other than the Omega Cannon, the only weapons to use in this Arena is your Power Beam and Missile Launcher.

Battle/Survival/Prime Hunter

 * Once a player has shot their single Omega Cannon round, forget what you were doing and run and hide. The most effective way to escape a brutal death by the Omega Cannon is to just jump off the edge of wherever you were at. The drop may take some of your energy, but at least you weren't killed.
 * If you've gotten the Omega Cannon, head to the side of the platform opposite of where you came up. From here you have a good view of the upper levels of the arena and who's coming up. If you see another player coming up, shoot the Omega Cannon at the ceiling and run up on top of the platform. This technique will serve a giant surprise to your fellow hunters.
 * If you have the Omega Cannon and you know there is a hunter above waiting for the weapon to regenerate, at the same spot where you can perform the last trick (or the other side), see the spire right in front of the platform? Shot the Omega Cannon at it. This will eliminate your opponent if they weren't fast enough to escape.
 * If you have the Omega Cannon, you can shoot the big green circles located around the arena. When the shot hits it, it will rebound off of it and explode shortly after. Each circle causes a different effect, so experiment. This can be a good way to kill Hunters who are directly below you.
