Mega Man X/Weapons

Boomerang Cutter
Boomerang Cutter fires a boomerang at enemies, which will travel in a circle in front of X. By standing still, the boomerang will travel upwards, while the opposite will occur if you jump. Three of these can be fired in rapid succession and the boomerangs can even be used to grab items out of reach.

Chameleon Sting
Chameleon Sting fires a plasma ball which then separates into three spikes that travel diagonally upwards, straight ahead, and diagonally downwards. Another one cannot be fired until the spikes disappear off-screen.

Electric Spark
Electric Spark fires a purple spark that does a good amount of damage. If a projectile hits a wall, it will separate into two smaller but equal sparks that travel along the wall vertically in opposite directions. It can also be fired very quickly, and will come in very handy for the next boss battle.

Fire Wave
Fire Wave is your own personal flame thrower. This powerful short ranged weapon will come in handy when looking for Heart Tanks and other items.

Homing Torpedo
Homing Torpedo fires a homing missile at enemies, which will search for an enemy and explode on contact. If it does not find a target, it will simply disappear off-screen. Two of these can be fired in rapid succession.

Rolling Shield
Rolling Shield fires a large round orb at enemies, and on contact with one, will explode. If it hits a wall, it will simply bounce off the wall.

Shotgun Ice
Shotgun Ice fires a single blast of ice that shatters on impact, spraying five shards of ice that do the same amount of damage as the first projectile backwards. You can fire this against walls to spray projectiles towards your enemies from various directions.

Storm Tornado
Storm Tornado fires a large gust of wind that can easily destroy multiple enemies. It can also go through walls.
