Aurum Core

The Aurum Core (オーラム大陸の核 Ōramu Tairiku no Kaku, "Aurum Continent's Core") is an Aurum boss that debuted in Kid Icarus: Uprising.

Chapter 15: Mysterious Invaders
Tasked to eliminate a portion of the Aurum fleet, Pit travels through a passel of floating islands on foot in order to reach the Aurum Core.

During the battle, the Aurum Core generally makes no attempt to directly hurt its opponent, relying solely on its shields, outer guns, and electrical floors for survival. The centers of its disc-shaped guns appear yellow once charged, and become white when fired. The electrical floors shift between three set patterns, and may inflict its enemies with paralysis.

Once its health reaches the halfway point, it becomes capable of gravitating its enemies towards its surrounding ring, which damages opponents and knocks them back significantly. It also generates electrical fences that rotate around the walls of the room and may inflict shaking, and summons massive spheres that roll around the floor and explode on contact.

After its defeat, the core explodes and the group of Aurum islands begin falling out of the sky.

''An artifact that controls one of the many floating islands in the Aurum. While destroying an Aurum Core will take down a group of islands, the sheer number of them makes targeting these weak points unlikely to affect the Aurum offensive.''
