Place this at the peak of a fight sequence, right after an enemy spotted cue builds the confrontation. Follow it with a danger alarm sound effect for aftershock chaos, or precede a big reveal with the inception horn sound effect to stack tension before the hit lands.
About this sound
This is the roughly three-second Gaster Blaster attack effect used by Sans, a sharp charge-up that erupts into a harsh, beam-like blast from a floating skull cannon. It feels tense and threatening, giving listeners an instant sense of overwhelming danger. The sound comes from Undertale, the 2015 indie RPG by Toby Fox.
