The Icarus Armor (イカロスアーマー)[2] is a set of Armor Parts obtained from the Light Capsules in Mega Man X8.

In the Games

Mega Man X8

The Icarus Armor debuted in Mega Man X8. It is a variation of the Neutral Armor that emphasizes offense and defense, such as reducing damage taken and adding a barrier to X's jump. It can be equipped one piece at a time, and can even be mixed with the parts of the Hermes Armor.

While all four Armor Parts of the Icarus Armor are equipped, X can use the Giga Crash. It functions the same as in other games, letting X expend all its Weapon Energy to attack all enemies on the screen.
