- ―Blaze Heatnix, Mega Man X6
Blaze Heatnix (ブレイズ・ヒートニックス Bureizu Hītonikkusu) is a phoenix-based Reploid and one of the Maverick bosses in Mega Man X6 who serves as one of the Nightmare Investigators.
Characteristics[]
Blaze Heatnix is a fiery orange Reploid with a phoenix-inspired appearance, possessing a beak, large wings, avian claws on his feet, and a long tail. Fire is constantly emitted from the back of his head and along his torso and shoulderpads. He has a rhombus-shaped gem on his forehead, like all of Gate's creations.
Blaze Heatnix was a very cruel and arrogant Reploid, who delighted in the destruction of those weaker than himself. He had a strong "might makes right" belief and enjoyed fighting, having waited for X to arrive for such a purpose. Oddly enough, he didn't appear to recognize who Zero was, or at least he didn't care.
Heatnix used the pronoun 俺様 (ore-sama) to refer to himself, meaning "I" in an extremely pompous, masculine manner, which further demonstrated his arrogant, devil-may-care attitude toward life.
History[]
Mega Man X6[]
Blaze Heatnix was specially designed by Gate with the ability to withstand extremely hot temperatures to search out subterranean hotspots, allowing him to freely explore those dangerous areas. Heatnix later became a member of a disaster relief team to help minimize damage from a chain of recently erupting volcanoes. However, because Heatnix was so much more powerful than the other members, he would ignore his coworkers (seeing them as weak and useless) in dangerous situations, disregarding them if they ran into danger, leaving all who fell behind to perish. As a result, Heatnix was eventually disposed of deep underground for his behavior.
Later, Gate recovered his body and revived him to use him in the Nightmare investigation, and sent him to monitor the Nightmare Snakes and mysterious purple magma in the Magma Area. There he was confronted by the Maverick Hunters and destroyed.
Strategy[]
Blaze Heatnix's primary ability is to fill up his arena with purple magma, creating a constant hazard. He attacks differently depending on what part of the arena is full of magma. As his ultimate attack, he will dash back a forth like a comet with a huge plume of fire surrounding him. He is weak to Ground Dash/Sentsuizan, which stuns him in place.
Magma Stream (マグマストリーム Maguma Sutorīmu)[1] | |
---|---|
Blaze Heatnix summons magma to cover either the top or bottom half of the arena, opposite to whichever half he is in. This magma does not cause instant death. If the magma is on the bottom, Heatnix flies inside it before emerging to attack the player. If the magma is on top, Heatnix hovers below while attacking, and in Xtreme mode, magma droplets sometimes fall from it. | |
Damage: 12:16:20 (Magma Stream), 5 (droplet; Xtreme only) | |
Magma Shot (マグマショット Maguma Shotto)[1] | |
Heatnix spits a fireball that explodes into three smaller fireballs. It can be destroyed early by the player, though it still splits. Only used when magma is at the bottom of the arena. | |
Damage: 3:4:5 | |
Magma Wave (マグマウェーブ Maguma Uēbu)[1] | |
Heatnix launches crescents of fire across the arena, either high or low. Only used when magma is at the top of the arena. | |
Damage: 4:6:7 | |
God Bird (ゴッドバード Goddo Bādo)[1] | |
Blaze Heatnix flies off-screen, then returns in a blazing fireball tackle. He can move either high or low, and from either side of the screen. He only uses this attack when his health is below 50%. | |
Damage: 6:8:10 |
Other appearances[]
- Blaze Heatnix is fought alongside Blast Hornet and Spiral Pegasus in two stages from the X Challenge in Mega Man X Legacy Collection and Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2.
