Genocide Core (ジェノサイドコア Jenosaido Koa) is the final boss in Gradius NEO Imperial.
Description[]
Genocide Core, just like Big Core MK II, has two cores and each core is protected by four barriers. Its armaments are somewhat similar to the Big Core Custom with missiles (both straight firing and semi-homing), homing spread missiles, and a powerful laser.
Attack patterns[]
- Note: All attack names are purely conjectural.
- "Beam Shot G" - Genocide Core fires 4 continuous Screw Laser-like beams that limit the Big Core Custom's movement, just like the Laser Streams from Big Core MK III.
- "Missile G" - Genocide Core fires medium-sized missiles across the screen, either straight or homing.
- "Area Napalm G" - Genocide Core fires homing spread missiles just to directly target the core of the Big Core Custom.
- "Genocide Laser" - Genocide Core closes its side doors and fires a middle laser to deal high damage to the Big Core Custom's barriers.
