Dairon Central Unit
Location Dairon Central Unit Room, Dairon
Health 1500

General Knowledge

This Central Unit's Shell has 2200 health and the brain has 1500 health.

The shell can be damaged with Charge beam and missiles while the brain can be damage with Charge Beam, Missiles, and uncharged beam shots.

Strategies

Make sure to start holding a charge shot as you enter this room.

The 'standard' strategy here is to fire missiles at the shell from a position slightly out of center while jumping to dodge the turrets and rinkas flying at Samus. Once the shell is broken it is best to fire uncharged beam shots at the Central Unit, even firing slowly is better than using missiles. Here is a video example of this in action:

The fastest strategy in any category that has gotten Wide Beam at this point in the game is to use 7 sets of Charge Missiles to break the shell, then using uncharged beam shots to kill the Central Unit. Here is a video example of this in action:
