The most well-balanced character in the game. Her affinity weapon is the missile launcher. Her alt-form is the Morph Ball. When charged up, the missile launcher is more powerful and can home in on enemies to a point, but not like Kanden's volt driver. The Morph Ball is fast, small, and can leave up to three bombs. She is not a powerful character, but she is very well balanced and is a good pick for those who are new to the game.
Strategy
The most effective strategy with Samus, is to either annihilate enemy hunters with her homing missiles, or roll into Morph Ball and zip around the arena speed boosting, dropping bombs and wreaking havoc.
To get hunters hiding behind narrow walls, charge a missile. Then shoot a little to the left or right. It can curve into them, and then at least the splash damage will hurt them.
One advantage she has is she can get away quickly, while laying bombs. Now you can stop people from chasing you, and can get to health.
You can boost into people, and then lay three bombs, doing a fairly easy 68 damage. Or you can boost, lay a bomb. Boost, lay a bomb. Boost, etc. without running out of bombs.
Though thought to be weak, her Morph Balls and missiles can be anywhere from annoying to devastating.
If you have elevation, missiles work even better.
Shooting charged missiles from springs like the one in Alinos Perch, gives you a great angle and means it's very hard to dodge them.
The Morphball is stopped by heights. If your opponent is on higher ground, give up trying to get them, go get health and ammo and when they come down attack them.
If you are running for health at insane speeds, remember your opponent has chance to refresh their health, ammo & even get extra weapons. If you do have to run for health, remember to be prepared to be forced into running again after your trip. Also, remember the zoomed Imperialist deals about 50 damage to the Morphball. Even at your speed, if you have less than 50 health DO NOT go into the open unless you know there aren't any Imperialists in the stage.
