Hyper Mode

Hyper Mode (ハイパーモード) is a command available in Mega Man X: Command Mission, allowing the playable character to transform for some turns to boost his / her abilities. The player can deactivate a Hyper Mode one turn after its activation with the Cooldown command to avoid using all of the character's remaining turns, which can only be restored by fully recovering (either in the recovery areas from Central Tower's Base Gateway and Far East HQ's Teleport Terminal, or when the character's level increases.) or with the rare item Gain Hyper. Each character has a different limit of turns, which can be increased with the scarce item Build Hyper.

X Fire
X Fire (Ｘファイア) is X's standard Hyper Mode. Its standard duration time is 6 turns. The X Fire changes X's Shot attacks from the X Buster and his Action Trigger to Fire Combat attacks, and his Sub Weapons become a Power Charge and Shell Buster. His LE, Power and WE gained by turn increase with the X Fire.

Stat Changes: LE +50%, Power +50%, Speed +25%, WE Gain +25% (+6 units per turn), 50% damage from Combat/Shot attacks (except Shark Missile, Explosive Dash and Atomic Fall).

Ultimate Armor
Ultimate Armor (アルティメットアーマ) is X's secret Hyper Mode, obtained by defeating Rafflesian. This Hyper Mode shares the same duration time of the X Fire. X uses a large armor that replaces his standard X Buster attack to a devastating beam attack named Giga Crash that is fired from his chest, and his Sub Weapons become the Impact Cannon and Strike Bullet, two large weapons in his arms. X's Action Trigger becomes the Nova Strike.

Stat Changes: Power +100%, Speed +50%, WE Gain +40% (+10 units per turn). Defense status permanently activated.

Black Zero
Black Zero (ブラックゼロ) is Zero's standard Hyper Mode, which lasts for 3 turns. Zero's armor becomes black and his eyes red, giving him a boost in Power, Speed and WE gained by turn. In battle, sometimes he can counterattack the enemy without using the Sub Weapon "Vengeful Counter", as with normal Zero.

Stat Changes: Power +100%, Speed +50%, WE Gain +25% (+6 units per turn), 75% Damage from Fire.

Absolute Zero
Absolute Zero (アブソリュートゼロ) is Zero's secret Hyper Mode, obtained by defeating Duckbill Mole in the Melda Ore Plant. It shares the same duration time of the Black Zero Hyper Mode.

Zero gains a darker, devil-like appearance with claws and wings, commonly compared to Bass' fused form with Treble. His LE, Power and WE gain by turn increase, and his evasion to Combat type attacks increase as he is floating in the air. Zero's Main Weapon becomes the Crimson End, and his Sub Weapons the Water-attribute attacks Killer Left and Brutal Right. His Action Trigger becomes Calamitous Arts. If Zero's LE is at 25% or lower, he will go Berserk and will only return to normal if his LE rises to 26% or above or if he hits himself.

Stat Changes: LE +50%, Power +100%, Speed +50%, WE Gain +50% (+12 units per turn), 50% damage from Water.

Stealth Mode
Stealth Mode (ステルスモード) is Axl's Hyper Mode.

His normal attacks have great chance of inflict critical hits. It lasts for 2 turns by default. The "Generator" sub-weapon works for him.

Stat Changes: Power +100%, Speed -25%.

Trickstar
Trickstar (トリックスター) is Spider's Hyper Mode. It has the same effects and turn duration as Axl's Stealth Mode. It is not recommended to increase Spider's Hyper Mode duration with Build Hypers, as those items are limited and Spider leaves the party in Gimialla Mine. "Generator" Force Metal don't work on him.

Stat Changes: Power +100%, Speed -25%.

Glint Armor

 * +6 WE (to 6 characters without Hyper Mode and Iron Maiden, Quicksilver, Trickstar, and Stealth Mode).

Trivia

 * In an interview with the development team, it was originally decided that Hyper Mode was going to be X and Zero exclusive.


 * X Fire is the only armor in X series that doesn't have "Armor" in its name.
