These chords also have other names. A Bm7♭5 is also a Dm6 and a G9/no root. So this scale can be used on these chords as well.
Here I’m going to play the B Locrian sharp 6 over a Bm7♭5 chord.
The B Locrian sharp 6 mode played against an A B minor flat 5 chord

The E♭ and D♯ modes are the same pitch just written different. This is where I switched to the sharp keys.
The Formula
1-♭2-♭3-4-♭5-6-♭7
This one isn’t too helpful. Here is the locrian formula.
1-♭2-♭3-4-♭5-♭6-♭7
Make the ♭6 of the Locrian mode a natural(up one fret) and you have it.
Sometimes its just easier to think of this as mode 2. The harmonic minor but start on the 2nd note.
In the key of A minor it’s easy because all you need to remember is the G is sharp and everything else is natural.
