Final Strike

Final Strike (ファイナルストライク) is a special technique that can be categorized as a finishing move. In Mega Man X: Command Mission, this can only be used when the enemy loses 75% of his/her current Life Energy (LE), shown by a small bar when damaged. Furthermore, it can only be used while all three party members currently in battle are active. It is shown to be massively destructive and mostly rapid-firing as all three party member unleash a massive attack on an enemy or enemies. It is introduced at the beginning of Chapter 3 when Steel Massimo joins, as the party is then permanently comprised of three members.

Final Strike attacks from the main weapon come in two types. Shot attacks, used by X, Axl, Cinnamon, and Spider, are weaker, but can strike a larger number of times. Combat attacks, performed by Zero, Massimo, and Marino, hit significantly fewer times, but are generally stronger. When X is with the Hyper Mode X Fire, he uses weaker Combat attacks that strikes several times. Any resistance, vulnerabilities and dodging capabilities an enemy has in relation to an attack type also factor into the strength of the Final Strike hits. All characters use the Sub Weapon Ultimate Missile (ファイナルミサイル) during Final Strike, which acts like a regular missile Sub Weapon, except it's much more powerful and creates an explosion when two of them connect with an enemy.

The Final Strikes main benefit besides finishing off an enemy is that it increases the amount of Force Metal Energy (FME) that a foe leaves behind, based on the number of hits incurred. Also, all enemies whose LE has been reduced to Final Strike range by the previous attack can be targeted, allowing more enemies to be hit by a longer amount of time and a bigger FME bonus. Lastly, the initiator of the Final Strike gains WE based on the number of targeted enemies.

Trivia

 * As documented in the drama track, Retrospect1_Elf War, of the Remastered Tracks Rockman Zero Telos soundtrack, X and Zero used this technique on Omega as a final absolute attack.
 * Here's one strategy to inflict at least 150 Hits and 100,000 Damage in a single Final Strike:
 * 1) First, you'll need X, Axl, and Cinnamon. Axl MUST have Rafflesian in his Action Trigger for this to work. Also, to increase the number of Hits, equip him with dual weapons.
 * 2) Find the four Wild Dog in Eternal Forest located in Gaudile Labs. To get to them, follow the red path until you meet four Mettaurs (Silver Mettaur, Mettaur Counter, Mettaurcure, and Gold Mettaur to be specific) and then take the blue path after that. The Wild Dogs will be in the first blue room.
 * 3) Make sure X moves first, and activate his Hyper Mode which is X Fire. However, do NOT deal any damage to the Wild Dogs until it is Axl's turn.
 * 4) Use Axl's Action Trigger to transform into Rafflesian. This will reduce all the Wild Dogs' LE to about 15% of their full LE.
 * 5) Now's your chance! Concentrate ALL units on one Wild Dog! X Fire's repeated C-Class attack will do all the work for you with the help of the S-Class attacks and Ultimate Missiles from Axl and Cinnamon.
 * 6) Take in the sweet smell of victory, for not only have you just unlocked 2 to 4 new Force Metal recipes in the FMG, but you also got a massive EXP and FME bonus.
 * 7) Give a big thanks to Joshua Leroux, the kid who made this brilliant strategy.
