Part 5: Mega Man X1 (100% Guide)—Vile, Bospider, Hadouken, & Rangda Bangda (All Trophies)

REGARDING ROLLING SHIEL
It does x4 the amount of a regular LVL 1 shot.  This makes it *just as powerful* as a LVL 3 shot.  It does just as much as a full-power LVL 3 Buster shot, which no other special weapon does.

Flame Wave and Storm Tornado do more damage overall, due to doing damage every frame… But Rolling Shield is shockingly effective against mini-bosses with invincibility frames and no special resistances (like the Angler Fish in Octopus’ stage).  That’s why the speedrun utilized them against those things.  This is also what makes them works so well against Vile.

REGARDING THE LVL 4 SHOT:
This tends to do as much as a LVL 3 shot at long range, but also tends to do only 1 DMG, at close-range.  At least, that’s how it seems… To be honest, I have a hard time predicting when it will do good DMG, and when it will do bad DMG.  Whatever it is, though, it’s sort of difficult to work with.  I would recommend avoiding this until you need to earn the “Pretty (Devastating) in Pink” achievement.

REGARDING THE CHARGED WEAPONS:
Shotgun Ice—Creates a Penguin Sled that does 8 DMG
Boomerang Cutter—Creates three giant boomerangs that each do 6 DMG [1/2/4] or 10 DMG [2/4/5]
Electric Spark—Creates two waves of electricity that fly to the sides and do 6 DMG [1/2/4] or 3 DMG [2/4/5] every frame.
Storm Tornado—Creates a vertical tornado that does 4 DMG [1/2/4] or 1 DMG [2/4/5] every frame.
Fire Wave—Creates a trail of fire that does 1 DMG every two frames
Rolling Shield—Creates a shield that negates many small projectiles (as well as random things, like Sting Chameleon’s tongue).  Does either 4 DMG [1/2/4] or 6 DMG [2/4/5] upon contact.
Chameleon Sting—Makes you invulnerable for a short period of time
Homing Torpedoes—Creates five torpedoes that each do 3 DMG [1/2/4] or 8 DMG [2/4/5]
