Fire Wave (ファイヤーウェーブ Faiyā Wēbu) is the Special Weapon that X obtains from defeating Flame Mammoth in Mega Man X.

Mega Man X[]

When equipped with this weapon in Mega Man X and Mega Man Maverick Hunter X, X releases a constant stream of flames from his buster that continues as long as the FIRE button is held down. When charged, X will unleash a wave of flames that continue along the ground as long as it is on-screen and the terrain does not change. Because Fire Wave is fire-based, using either version of this weapon underwater will render it useless. In this game, Fire Wave is Chill Penguin's weakness; using it against him will engulf him in flames and stun him.

Note that because the uncharged Fire Wave is continuous, six Weapon Energy units will be wasted to allow use of the charged attack (once equipped with the Arm Parts). Once completely charged up however, X will stop using the Fire Wave. If one wishes to use only the charged up version of Fire Wave, the player must charge up another weapon, and once X starts to glow pink the player can then shift to Fire Wave without spending additional energy. On the other hand, if one wishes to continuously use Fire Wave at a constant rate, the player must release the attack button just before X begins to glow pink (assuming the Arm Parts have already been obtained).

Trivia[]

  • In the manga Rockman X, Flame Mammoth used the uncharged Fire Wave like X did in the game instead of using a fire projectile during the boss fight.
  • Fire Wave is featured as a weapon known as "Burning Spray Gun" in Mega Man X DiVE. Its Japanese name, "Noumannoder" (ナウマンノダー), is named after Flame Mammoth's Japanese name.
