Ray Arrow

Ray Arrow, also known as Arrow Ray (アローレイ) in Japan, is the Special Weapon that Mega Man X receives from defeating Infinity Mijinion in Mega Man X6. In normal fire, X fires a beam straight forward. Under normal circumstances, if the beam hits something, it goes straight up. By holding DOWN on the D-pad, X can also have this weapon go straight down a wall or an object. This weapon has an unusual property in that it will always be in the same position as X is before it strikes an object - if X jumps up while firing this weapon, it will go up with him; if X fires it while falling down or ducking, it will go down; if fired while standing still, it goes straight. Ray Arrow also has the ability to go through enemies. Charged up, X summons five light beams that shoot straight up from the bottom of the screen.

This weapon is the primary weakness for Commander Yammark, causing 5 units of damage with Ray Arrow in normal fire, and 8 units of damage when charged. Interestingly, as a charged Ray Arrow acts as a "Giga Attack" for X, it can cause 8 units of damage to the other Investigators as well (except Infinity Mijinion), however, Commander Yammark is the only one that becomes stunned with this weapon.
