Infinity Mijinion

Infinity Mijinion is one of the 'Nightmare Investigators' created by Gate. Somewhat of a scientist himself, Infinity Mijinion was working on the giant Reploid 'Illumina'. He was retired due to the dangerous nature of his work, but, as soon as Gate revived him, he continued on, with the goals of destroying everything with his creations. Though his main weakness is Guard Shell, sometimes it's best to just use the Z-Saber (or Nova Strike if you have Ultimate Armor).

Attacks

 * Whenever you hit Infinity Mijinion with a slash attack, a successful Guard Shell reflection, or take away 1/4 of his energy, he will be deflected towards a wall and will almost always create a clone. These clones will constantly create destroyable bubbles made of ooze. You can destroy the clones with 4-5 Z-Buster shots or a lot of X-Buster shots, and the bubbles with almost anything.
 * Infinity Mijinion will stop somewhere in the air, and create some of those annoying bubbles.
 * Infinity Mijinion will teleport to the top middle of the screen, then fall straight down into the ground. This will cause two orange energy balls to travel the floor. With them will come a rain of Ray Arrows from the sky. These balls can be reflected by Guard Shell.
 * Infinity Mijinion also leaves green energy balls in mid-air. attacking these will cause them to extend green lines out horizontally, which are harmless. In fact, they can be grappled onto like ropes in the other stages. The green balls themselves are also harmless.
 * Infinity Mijinion will fire off 3 sets of 8 spread-shot orange balls that will fly in the cardinal and secondary directions (up, down, left, right, up-left, up-right, down-left, down-right). These can be reflected by Guard Shell as well.
 * Infinity Mijinion will fire a laser that will travel slowly in the air. If you are below this laser, it will fall quickly onto you. If you are above this laser, it will fly straight up at you.
 * Infinity Mijinion will start to flash, and fire off constant spread-shot orange balls (these can't be reflected) while recovering energy. Unless you are on Xtreme mode or are using the X-Buster against him, you will rarely see this attack.
 * (1/2 energy left) Infinity Mijinion will fire a faster laser that will travel in the air and drop down/fly straight up on you.

Trivia

 * Because his species is not tremendously outwardly obvious to the casual observer or player, Infinity Mijinion is considered one of the most confusing Mavericks in the Mega Man X series. Mijinion is in fact a daphnia, a type of water flea; and the name Mijinion is derived from the Japanese word "mijinko", which means daphnia.
 * The background music for Infinity Mijinion's stage contains synthesizer riffs reminiscent of the song "The Final Countdown".
