In the Games

Mega Man X6

The Blade Armor debuted in Mega Man X6. It is most notable for its Mach Dash and Charge Saber. Unlike most Armor Parts, all four programs of the Blade Armor must be collected before it can be equipped.

Programs	Icon	Location	Effect
Head Program		Amazon Area	Reduces Special Weapon Energy consumption by 33%, and increases maximum Weapon Energy by 50%.
Body Program		Laser Institute	Reduces all damage received by 50%, and grants X a Giga Attack. Its Weapon Energy fills whenever X takes damage from enemy attacks, allowing X to use the Giga Attack to slash and emit two blue shockwaves.
Arm Program		Weapon Center	Upgrades X's Charge Shot 2 to a smaller Plasma Charge Shot, which becomes a plasma ball to deal further damage if it does not destroy the target enemy. He also gains the Charge Saber (チャージセイバー) which is a larger and stronger Z-Saber slash, used by holding Up during a Charge Shot. X can also charge Special Weapons.
Foot Program		Central Museum	Grants X the Mach Dash, a type of Air Dash that deals mild damage, suspends X in the air before use, and can be aimed directionally up, down, left, or right.

Behind the Scenes

Developer Commentary

"I designed the buster part to look like a bow, when it opens up it looks like a hilt for the blade. Also, crystals and other core parts are generally placed to act as centerpieces, but I decide to spread them toward the edges and emphasize how pretty they are." - (Haruki Suetsugu)
