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.

Programs	Icon	Location	Effect
Helmet Parts I		Primrose	Grants the Head Attack (ヘディング攻撃), a blue barrier that surrounds X while ascending during a jump. It can damage enemies and destroy certain obstacles above X.
Body Parts I		Metal Valley	Reduces all damage received by 50% and removes recoil. All Life Energy that X loses turns red without depleting, meaning he can be switched out for a chance to recover all that Energy.
Buster Parts I		Noah's Park	Upgrades each X-Buster shot by one level; default shot becomes Charge Shot 1, Charge Shot 1 becomes 2, etc. It also upgrades X's MAX Charge Shot to the Laser Charge Shot (レーザーチャージショット). When fired, it briefly suspends X in place to unleash a long, continuous laser that lasts several seconds. X can also charge Special Weapons.
Foot Parts I		Booster Forest	Doubles jump height.
