Air Forces — Storm Owl
- 1
Air Forces
Storm Owl's stage, Air Forces, opens on a Repliforce airfield before putting X on board a jet for an extended aerial segment — an auto-scrolling gauntlet of gunfire and missile volleys before you reach the boss's arena. Keep moving and don't get boxed into a corner of the screen.

Ride Armor — Eagle
Side area off the aerial dogfight segmentRide Armor — EagleA side path breaks off from the dogfight to a parked Eagle Ride Armor — its hover flight and missile barrage make the rest of the aerial gauntlet dramatically easier.

Heart Tank
Area 1Heart TankThe Heart Tank sits on a platform that a laser cannon blasts apart — grab it fast, before the platform drops out from under it.

Arm Parts Capsule (Plasma or Stock)
Area 2Arm Parts CapsuleIn the spike-filled section, two Arm capsules sit in the same spot and you can only take one: Plasma Charge Shot (a giant piercing charged shot that leaves damaging orbs behind) or Stock Charge Shot (bank up to 4 charged shots and fire them off in quick succession). Use Lightning Web to climb the spiked wall up to them.

Boss Fight: Storm Owl
Storm Owl
Spends most of the fight swooping through the open airspace arena, which makes a horizontal boomerang throw ideal — Twin Slasher catches him going out and coming back. Defeating him hands you Double Cyclone.
Attacks- Diving swoops across the arena
- Wind gusts that push you toward the arena's edges
Strategy- Weak against Twin Slasher
- Throw it as Storm Owl passes overhead for a hit on both the throw and the return
