In the Games

Mega Man X8

The Hermes Armor debuted in Mega Man X8. It is a variation of the Neutral Armor that emphasizes speed and efficiency, such as increasing movement speed and charge speed. It can be equipped one piece at a time, and can even be mixed with the parts of the Icarus Armor.

While all four Armor Parts of the Hermes Armor are equipped, X can use the X-Drive (エックスドライブ). It acts similarly to a Giga Attack, slowly recharging Weapon Energy over time. When activated, X gains a temporary buff to all of his Hermes Armor effects.

Programs	Icon	Location	Effect
Head Parts H		Central White	Doubles the charge rate of the X-Buster and all Special Weapons. X-Drive: Quadruples charge rate instead.
Body Parts H		Pitch Black	Grants complete invincibility to enemy attacks that deal 3 damage or less. Grants Metals equivalent to damage taken as well. X-Drive: Extends invincibility to enemy attacks of 5 damage or less.
Buster Parts H		Troia Base	Upgrades X's MAX Charge Shot to the Spread Charge Shot (拡散チャージショット), which fires three Charge Shot 2s in a spread trajectory. X can also charge Special Weapons. X-Drive: Spread Charge Shot fires five Charge Shot 2s instead of three.
Foot Parts H		Inferno	Doubles movement speed and Dash speed, and grants the Invisible Dash (インビジブルダッシュ) which makes X invisible and invincible to enemy projectiles for the duration. Some obstacles can still harm X, such as the fans in Pitch Black. X-Drive: Quadruples movement speed and Dash speed instead.
