Deadstar Hug

"Unleash balls of energy which bounce once when contacting walls."

- In-game text

Deadstar Hug (デッドスターハグ) is a Leg-type energy ball weapon that Vile obtains by defeating Armored Armadillo in Mega Man Maverick Hunter X. This weapon is more or less Vile's version of Mega Man X's Rolling Shield. When equipped, Vile shoots a ball of energy which will roll along the floor and disappear if it hits something. The damage is only moderate, but its range is nearly infinite.

Deadstar Hug is Launch Octopus's weakness, and Mega Man X takes a considerable amount of damage from this weapon as well.

Defeating Armored Armadillo will Vile not only be rewarded with Deadstar Hug, but he will also be rewarded with Zip Zapper and Territorial Pow as well.
