* In ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep]]'', Vanitas, one of the game's main villains, has a basic two-hit combo that consists of a lunging slash and a somersaulting uppercut with his Keyblade. Towards the end of the game, he starts using the latter attack to shoot a fast-moving, short-ranged crescent beam and, later on, a slow-moving, homing one.
** Wave Motion Sword example in the same game: {{spoiler|In the second phase of his story mode's final boss fight, Ventus gains the ability to fire powerful energy beams from his Keyblade. His opponent, a souped-up Vanitas, can do the same, resulting in a [[Beam-O-War]] if the two characters launch their attacks at the same time.}}
* ''[[Severance: Blade of Darkness]]'' had [[Hundred-Percent100% Completion|an upgrade]] that unlocked two [[Sword Beam]] attacks for [[Sword of Plot Advancement|Ianna's sword]], your only ranged attacks aside from throwing your weapons (they don't come back, and you can only carry a few) and a bow which never upgrades unlike all your other weapons, and is therefore completely useless except for hitting switches. While obtaining the [[Sword Beam]] is optional, you don't stand much chance against the teleporting [[Big Bad]] without it. (And if you did get it, you'll get an [[Bonus Dungeon|extra level after it]], with [[The Man Behind the Man]] in a [[Magitek]] [[Power Armor]] as final boss.)
* The Dimension Slash attack (Which has the user focus energy into their weapon before unleashing a gigantic, battlefield-rending sword beam) is a staple of [[Nippon Ichi]] games, especially in the ''[[Disgaea]]'' series where it's first appearance was in the first game.
* In the PC game "Little Fighter", Deep does this, while Woody does it ''with his ARMS''
