Tier 1 Super Defense: Hyper Barrier Beam (600) (Area Defense)
After nearly dying in the Dark Dimension to the Black Knight's Vacuum Wave, Samus realised that she would need to upgrade her Barrier Beam to survive against increasingly powerful foes. The Barrier Beam is projected, as usual, from Samus's arm cannon in a translucent semi-circle of energy, though it is bluey-green unlike the normal Barrier Beam's green colour, due to being augmented with phazon. It can also be expanded into a (four-meter diameter) sphere that covers the whole of Samus's person, though the overall power remains the same.
Tier 2 Super Defense: Hyper Barrier Beam ULTRA (800) (Area Defense)
When the Barrier Beam and even the Hyper Barrier Beam aren't enough to hold back an attack, Samus expends even more phazon to use the Hyper Barrier Beam ULTRA. This is nearly identical to the Hyper Barrier Beam, but larger and brighter, the energy looking like it's actually burning blue. It forms a semicircular wall about four metres high, and is held about two metres away from Samus - it's too unstable and too dangerous to use as a spherical shield.
