Jewel Man

Jewel Man (ジュエルマン) is one of the Robot Masters from Mega Man 9 whose period of use had expired and was scheduled to be scrapped. Jewel Man was designed to work in a diamond mine where he was in charge of cutting and polishing rocks with dexterity. He likes to receive attention and collect shiny things.

His weapon, Jewel Satellite, has jewels surround Mega Man like a shield. Similar to previous shield weapons like Wood Man's Leaf Shield, Skull Man's Skull Barrier, and Junk Man's Junk Shield.

Strategy
His pattern is running left and right with his Jewel Satellite surrounding him; he only jumps when Mega Man jumps, and throws individual jewels at Mega Man whenever he hits one of them. It's actually possible to slip in a shot through his shield, but only if you have a good aim.

His weakness is Galaxy Man's Black Hole Bomb. In addition to doing seven units of damage to him, it will also suck in the jewels of his Jewel Satellite, preventing him from firing at you until he creates more jewels.
