"Growing Cutter."
―In game Pause Menu, Mega Man Maverick Hunter X
"Fires cutters that grow as they fly and can pierce enemies."
―In-game text, Mega Man Maverick Hunter X

Parasite Sword (パラサイトソード Parasaito Sōdo) is a Shoulder-type cutter weapon that Vile obtains by defeating Boomerang Kuwanger and Chill Penguin in Mega Man Maverick Hunter X. When equipped, Vile fires a huge lilac purple cutter that only gets bigger the further it goes (its hitbox also increasing to match). The player can angle Parasite Sword's trajectory by pressing UP and DOWN on the control pad while firing. While only dealing mild damage, the cutter can pierce through enemies (and defenses such as the Hoganmer's shield) and continue to damage other enemies in its path.

Parasite Sword is Sting Chameleon's weakness, and X takes a considerable amount of damage from it as well. This Cutter weapon is also capable of cutting off Launch Octopus's tentacles and Flame Mammoth's trunk.

Etymology[]

  • Parasite Sword's name may refer to the fact that the blade grows larger over time, similar to a parasite feeding off a host.
