Details[]
In Metal Slug Attack's event, this boss is fought at the last stage. She unleashes a jolt of electricity with a red core on her forehead as her regular attacks. This piercing attack can also dish out rapid damage over time and has a long range. To add insult to the injury; this attack is also capable of stunning the player's units.
She will also open several hatches from her abdomen, which then rains down explosive baby bugs (doubled up with 4) as her special attack to deal more powerful nukes.
