Mega Buster (MegaMan Volnutt)



Mega Buster, known as Rock Buster (ロックバスター) in Japan, also known as "MegaMan Buster" in the first Mega Man Legends game due to mistranslation, is Mega Man Volnutt's main weapon, equipped in his left arm. His Mega Buster differs from other Mega Men in that it is not able to use a charge shot, and instead, utilizes rapid fire. The game Tatsunoko vs. Capcom is the only game that allows his Mega Buster to use a charge shot.

Abilities
The Mega Buster can be modified by attaching parts that Mega Man can find, buy, or obtain from Roll Caskett. These modify four abilities from the Mega Buster: Attack, Energy, Range and Rapid. The abilities can range anywhere between 1 to 7, expect for Rapid which limit is 4. Normally, MegaMan can equip only two Mega Buster Parts at a time, but upon obtaining the Adapter Plug, he can equip three parts. In both Mega Man Legends and Mega Man Legends 2, when playing Easy Mode, the player starts the game with a Buster Part that maximizes all four abilities.


 * Attack: (攻撃) The attack power of the buster. Initially each shot causes 24 damage to most enemies, with a few exceptions such as the yellow Blumebear. The damage caused by the Mega Buster increases by 4 with each Attack level, causing 72 damage at Attack level 6. With the max. level (7), it causes 90 damage.


 * Energy: (弾数) How long it takes for the buster to begin firing after a burst. It starts being able to fire three shots, stopping for a brief moment before he continues firing. Each level increases the number of shots by one, firing nine projectiles in a row at level 6. With the max. level, the Mega Buster can rapid fire without intervals.


 * Range: (射程) How far the shots travel before vanishing. The buster's standard range is of around 25-30 meters, and increases between 5-10 m with each level. When upgraded to the limit the shots can travel around 90-100 meters.


 * Rapid: (連射) The firing speed of the Mega Buster.
