Flame Blast

Flame Blast (フレイムブラスト) is Flame Man's Special Weapon.

In Mega Man 6, Flame Man can slam his arm cannon on the ground and release fire which then come up as pillars of flame in random spots. The pillars rise from the ground twice and contacting them will deal four units of damage against Mega Man.

When Mega Man obtains and equips Flame Blast, he will shoot out a fireball at a low arc. If it hits a wall or the ground, it creates a pillar of flame. Flame Blast can be used underwater and can also melt ice walls. Oddly, shooting a fireball at the oil pits in Flame Man's stage will not ignite them. Up to three fireballs can be present on the screen at a time. One shot from Flame Blast uses one Weapon Energy unit -- it can be used twenty-eight times with a full Weapon Energy gauge.

Flame Blast's attack power is four, and is one of the strongest Special Weapons in the game (along with Plant Barrier, Centaur Flash and a fully charged Rush Power Adapter shot), and can instantly defeat Au-Aus.

It's Blizzard Man's weakness and does moderate damage to Plant Man.

In Mega Man 10, one of the Weapons Archives uses the Flame Blast.
