The Misfit Warship (ミスフィッツ艦, Misufittsu Kan) is a recurring boss in the Gradius series.

Description

The Misfit Warship could be seen as an upgraded version of the Big Core MK I, because it shoots four medium lasers. It is the boss of stages 2, 3, 11, and 12 in the normal version and only stage 3 in the X68000 remake. It is also part of the boss rush in Nemesis 3. The X68000 version adds an additional attack. It has 9 Barriers and 1 core, all which take 1 shot with a laser to destroy.

Attack patterns

The Misfit Warship acts just like Big Core MK I. It moves up and down shooting its weapons at you. There are two different versions for stage 2, 12 and 3, 11. The first version shots longer lasers at an average rate. The second version shoots shorter lasers more frequently.

In the X68000 version, be careful of the shrapnel bullets after shooting the core armor. Also in the X68000 version, the first attack it does is to shoot two blue large -and wide lasers as a surprise tactic then uses Big Cores 4 laser attack but it is Brown and thin but longer.

In Otomedius Excellent, it uses the same attack pattern in Nemesis '90 Kai and adds an exclusive pair of lightning that acts like a more instantaneous laser attack when charged up.
