"Kee-hee-hee! You've made it this far, but this is the end of the line!"

―Splash Warfly, Mega Man X7

Splash Warfly (スプラッシュ・ウオフライ, Supurasshu Uofurai) is a flying fish based Reploid and one of the Mavericks in Mega Man X7.

There seems to have been some conflict between him and Axl prior to the events of X7, as both claimed to have never liked the other when confronted with Axl as the lead character.

Strategy

Even after his battleships are destroyed Warfly still occupies the partially sunken wreckage, claiming them as the ideal battleground. Warfly likes to perform hit and run maneuvers; attacking, retreating into water and then jumping back onto the platform from behind in an attempt to catch the player by surprise.

Splash Warfly can perform the following attacks:

• Naginata Swipe: Warfly attacks by using his polearm in a variety of lightning fast rushes, swipes and stabs.

• Splash Laser: His version of Splash Laser lacks range, but is still able to cover most of the platforms where the battle takes place.

• Tobiwao Missile: Warfly stabs the ground, causing the area near him to erupt in a harmless spray of water, launching two small, flying fish homing missiles. They aren't much of a threat damage wise, but can act as a distraction when dodging Warfly's other attacks.

Warfly can be difficult to battle without using his weaknesses, but with them the fight becomes laughably easy. Striking him once with either Volt Tornado or Raijinshou, will cause him to cancel his current action and retreat back into the sea. Just wait for him to leap back onto the platform and repeat.
