Ray Splasher

Ray Splasher (レイスプラッシャー) is the Special Weapon that X gains from defeating Neon Tiger in Mega Man X3. When uncharged, it fires a quick volley of seven energy bullets in a spread formation. When charged, X shoots a glass container upwards which randomly fires twenty-two Ray Splasher bullets in various directions before the glass container self-destructs.

Ray Splasher is Gravity Beetle and Godkarmachine O Inary's weakness, and this weapon is also effective against Byte, Press Disposer and Vile. In Vile and Byte's case, if X faces them before going to Dr. Doppler's fortress, they must be struck with this weapon (or Spinning Blade and Tornado Fang, respectively) in order for them to be destroyed - and not just defeated - otherwise they must be fought again. Vile's Kangaroo Armor in the hidden factory stage also shares this weakness with Vile as well.

The charged version of Ray Splasher is featured as one of the Dive Triggers in Rockman X DiVE.
