Crescent Slender Beam
CharacterCrescent Slender Beam is a ray of light that Sailor V unleashes in Codename: Sailor V. In practice it looks the same as her standard Crescent Beam, with the extra word attached for flavor during one particular clash.
Overview
This move is essentially a relabeled version of the light strike Sailor V normally throws. The word slender got tacked on almost as a joke, matching the mood of a fight against a heavyset opponent rather than marking any real change in how the attack behaves.
Mechanics
Channeled through her compact, the technique fires a concentrated shaft of light at a target, mirroring the effect of the familiar Crescent Beam. The variant surfaces when the heroine faces the bulky creature named DeVleene, where the alternate name simply suited the situation.
