Rolling Shield

Rolling Shield (ローリングシールド) is the weapon that X obtains from defeating Armored Armadillo in Mega Man X and Mega Man Xtreme. It fires a blue sphere of energy that rolls along the terrain and bounces off walls. When charged, it creates a shield around X which can destroy minor enemies. The shield will remain active until it hits an enemy with over three hit points. In Mega Man Xtreme, it is interesting to note that a charged Rolling Shield can even render X invincible to spikes, however, it is not recommended for the player to climb up walls lined with spikes as it can cause X to become temporarily stuck between the sprites of the spikes themselves.

This weapon is Launch Octopus's and Vile's weakness and is the weapon of choice against Sigma's final form. In Mega Man Xtreme, this was a primary weakness for Morph Moth, Serges and Sigma's final form.
