Mega Man Zero 2/EX Skills

Zero gains an EX Skill from a boss if his rank is at least A when he defeats it. Keep in mind, it's his rank upon beginning the mission that counts, not the rank he gets at the end of the mission (which counts for the next boss). These can be equipped and unequipped from the subscreen.

Note: The sprites for certain EX Skills in the listings have been given a blue backdrop to make them easier to contrast against the white backdrop of this page.

Buster Skills

Laser Shot

• Obtained from: Hyleg Ourobockle

When no element chip is equipped, Zero's charged buster shot becomes a laser that can penetrate enemy defenses.

Triple Shot

• Obtained from: Poler Kamrous

When the Ice chip is equipped, Zero's charged buster shot splits into three ice shots upon contact with an enemy.

Spark Shot

• Obtained from: Panter Flauclaws

When the Thunder chip is equipped, Zero's charged buster shot splits into two electric shots that travel up and down upon contact with an enemy.

Blast Shot

• Obtained from: Fighting Fefnir

When the Flame chip is equipped, Zero's charged buster shot explodes and does more damage upon contact with an enemy.

Saber Skills

Tenshouzan: Heaven Rising Slash

• Obtained from: Phoenix Magnion

Press + Saber on the ground. Zero performs a rising uppercut with the Saber. If the Flame chip is equipped, the attack becomes a Flame element and goes higher, burning things on contact.

Sengatotsu: Spinning Fang Thrust

• Obtained from: Kuwagust Anchus

Press Saber while dashing. Zero thrusts the Saber forward. If the Thunder chip is equipped, the attack becomes a Thunder element and turns into a sharper, electrified blade.

Sharp Edge

• Obtained from: Fairy Leviathan

Press + Saber in the air. Zero stabs downward with the Saber. If the Ice chip is equipped, the attack becomes an Ice element that freezes the enemies it hits.

Kougenjin: Mirage Blade

• Obtained from: Sage Harpuia

Press + Saber on the ground. Zero slashes sideways and fires an energy wave that travels a short distance forward, and it can pierce through the shields of enemies.

Chain Rod Skills

Energy Chain

• Obtained from: Burble Hekelot

Latch onto an enemy with the Chain Rod and just hold on. After a few seconds, Zero starts leeching away the enemy's HP to restore his own. If Zero's HP is full, this will fill his Sub Tanks. It absorbs HP one point at time.

Shield Skills

Filter Shield

• Obtained from: Rainbow Devil MK2

Activate the Shield Boomerang just before an enemy shot hits, and it turns the shot into an E-Crystal. By rapidly tapping the button in front of an enemy that fires multiple shots, like a Pantheon Gunner, it can be used to mine E-Crystals quickly.
