Battle[]
The Slug-Ray is a flying drone that provides support fire for other units. It will mostly stay in the air hovering around their targets and firing its machine gun. One of its attacks is Luminous Blast, a charged shot that stuns the target unless they're blocking. The Slug-Ray's most dangerous attack is Electro Charge, where it'll hover next to its target while encasing itself in an expanding energy field, which deals heavy damage on contact.
If the Slug-Ray takes enough damage, it'll fall on the ground and be vulnerable to attacks, but may also retaliate with Spearhead, where it'll leap on its target and shock them.
Much like the vast majority of mechanical enemies, the Slug-Ray is weak against 
Lightning. While in hovering mode, it is also weak to 
Wind.
Hard Mode[]
On the hard difficulty, the Slug-Ray will use Luminous Blast and Electro Charge more often. It'll also remain airborne for longer and maintain distance.
Strategy[]
The Slug Ray-can be a difficult opponent to pin down with Cloud and Tifa, as they'll try to maintain distance. However, it can be easily pressured with lightning magic, which is the best way to defeat it quickly. Barret can also instantly pressure the Shock-Ray with Overcharge and Focused Shot.
In "Episode INTERmission", Yuffie can quickly dispose of the Slug-Ray with Throw and Lightning Ninjutsu. Her superior air-speed and ranged abilities can pressure it easily.
