The Simorgh Striscia (Queen of Puncture) is one of eight playable ships in Caladrius. This ship is piloted by Layis Naje and is associated with the Element of Steel.
Profile
The ship that was separated from the forbidden weapon along with Layis' soul. It has biased tendencies and is difficult to control but depending on how, it can demonstrate strong powers.
After the knight's soul split in two, the ship was found on a hilltop outside the Kingdom.
Although it maintains its old appearance, its disastrous aura has been replaced by a sense of noble mysteriousness.
Weaponry
Normal Shot: A medium-wide shot that angles in the direction of the ship's movement (later implemented in Raiden V as Swing Vulcan).
Bomb: Several sword blades form a grid, slashing all enemies and enemy bullets.
Element Shot:
- Attack ES: Steel/Struck Faith - Fires spears forward from the ship. The spears are short-range, but has high power. Leveling up increases the quantity of spears.
- Support ES: Steel/Resolve Edge - Fires bladed chains around the ship that follows the ship's movement (serves as a prototype for Catch Plasma). Leveling up increases blade quantity and size.
- Defense ES: Steel/Treason Dagger - Rotates swords around the ship to cancel bullets. Leveling up increases sword quantity, eventually offering almost total protection from normal bullet types. The range is short, but it does high damage to anything it hits.
- Element Burst: Summons a number of steel arrows that launch towards the center of the screen, destroying all enemy bullets and piercing through enemies.
