Gravity Well

Gravity Well, also known as Bug Hole (バグホール) in Japan, is the weapon that X obtains from Gravity Beetle in Mega Man X3. When equipped with this weapon, X releases a floating ball in front of him that creates a high-gravity zone. Surrounding enemies are crushed by the gravitational force of the ball. When charged, X releases a Gravity Well upward, only this time with a black hole generated. Once in the sky, it lifts enemies up towards it.

Gravity Well is Blast Hornet's weakness, and is the only boss that takes damage from this weapon.

Trivia

 * X is semi-invincible during the charged Gravity Well's duration. Certain enemy attacks will go right through X without harming him, while others, such as energy orbs, will shock him out of his pose and cause damage. Spikes will still kill X instantly during this attack.


 * The charged Gravity Well can be used to lift certain objects, most notably a piece of machinery in Volt Catfish's stage that leads to the Armor enhancement.


 * X is unable to fire a charged Gravity Well if a previous uncharged shot remains on-screen.
