Mega Man X4/Walkthrough

Playing using X
Starting from Magma Dragoon's stage can be advantageous because it's the only Maverick whose boss area X can access with a Ride Armor.

Playing using Zero
Two of Zero's "weapons" actually are skills that deal no damage, therefore the Maverick order has to be different.

The regular Z-saber deals slightly more damage to Web Spider than to most other Mavericks, while Jet Stingray is the hardest boss, even with all other powerups.

The table below show the damage inflicted by every Zero's weapon to the Mavericks. Green cells refer to the suggested weapon for each Maverick, red cells refer to weapons obtained from the same Maverick. Split Mushroom's Kuu-en-zan actually deals exactly the same damage as a jumping saber slash, but has better range.
