Great Redips

"Surprised? But why should you be, my young subjects? You will be the first to witness the divine miracle!"

Great Redips is the second form of Redips.

History
Great Redips appears as the final boss from Mega Man X: Command Mission.

After Redips secretly used X and his party to gather Supra Force Metal and to get rid of "that pesky Epsilon", he used a bizarre machine to power himself up, declaring that "to me, the very Earth is nothing but a tiny speck...one which I shall rule with an iron fist!"

Abilities


When he is in this form, Redips becomes a true threat and has the power to heal himself every turn since he has the Supra Force Metal until Ferham pulls it out to let X and his party defeat him. He can use Codebreaker, which has the potential to instantly kill one party member. Another attack he has, Memento Mori, can potentially place every single status ailment on the party. He also has an attack, Deus Ex Machina, that hits the entire party multiple times. The Supra Force Metal piece that was not taken from him both supplies a barrier to Great Redips, and performs strong elemental attacks.

Battle Hints
You can target the Supra-Force Metals on his shoulders separately—and you definitely need to get rid of them because otherwise you won’t be able to do much damage to Redips. The one on his left shoulder (that is not grabbed by Ferham) is restored after a few rounds. However, while it is gone, Redips’ defense is lowered, so you can do full damage to him. You will probably need a dedicated healer for this battle, because most of Redips’ attacks hit all allies. He also likes using Codebreaker a lot (this has the potential to insta-kill). And he has an attack which gives random status ailments to the entire party, but doesn’t do any damage (Cure Alls are useful for this). Also, don’t bother with stat increasers for this battle because the Supra-Force Metal uses Format a lot, removing them all. Redips also has an attack that removes your WE. People on the sidelines aren’t affected, of course, so if you can drop someone out of the battle right before he uses that attack, that character will be spared. The main trick to this battle is to destroy the Supra-Force Metal while X is at 100% WE, transform into X’s Hyper Mode, and blast Redips with the Charge Collider while his defenses are down. Use Cooldown after this and wait for the next opportunity so that you are not wasting your Hyper Mode rounds. Two or three Charge Colliders, plus the attacks of your supporting team member (the one who’s not healing), should be enough to take care of Redips. Before defeating him, it would be good to have Marino use her action trigger to steal the Supra-force-metal fragments (be sure to target redips and not any of the fragments on his shoulders). There are two fragments of supra force metal. SFM fragment a: It regenerates 200-300 LE each turn, WE is restored to MAX every turn, but causes 99 erosion. SFM b: Adds 100 to Power,Shield and Armor. Adds 20 to Speed. Doesn´t regenerate any specific amount of LE or WE and causes 99 erosion (to equip this fragments it is important to buy Nautralizer-30 at the secret force metal shop, or level up until lvl 100).

Defeat
After Great Redips is defeated, he reverts back to Redips, and tells X, Zero, and Axl that, due to their unwillingness to evolve, they are the ones that should be considered Mavericks. Afterwards, Ferham takes the Supra Force Metal she stole, jumps off the satellite, and self-destructs in order to destroy it.

I'll take it to a place so far away that nobody will ever find it.
