Jewel Satellite



The Jewel Satellite is Jewel Man's Weapon from Mega Man 9. When activated, Mega Man will have four jewels orbiting him. When the fire button is pressed while the shield is up, the shield is launched toward the way Mega Man is facing.

The Jewel Satellite is Plug Man's weakness (in addition, it deflects his projectiles) and is also good against Fake Man, as it can block all of his attacks.

Attack power
This weapon deals two units of damage to enemies when used by Mega Man (excluding weaknesses and immunities), either thrown or simply by walking into enemies with it active.

Capacity
Each activation of the Jewel Satellite requires four units of weapon energy. With a full weapon energy gauge, Mega Man can activate the shield seven times.

Usefulness

 * Reflects enemy projectiles or destroys them;
 * You can move while using the shield;
 * Defeats weak enemies (with 1 or 2 hp or larger enemies with 1-2 hp left) in one hit without destroying the shield;
 * Doesn't disappear unless you load a new set of screens, touch a tough enemy or touch an invulnerable/guarding enemy;
 * The shield's weapon energy only depletes each time you activate it, making it possible to keep it up during a whole section of a level.
 * Can be used to "farm" screws and other items on certain spots in some levels.
 * Is the most powerful of the classic "shield" weapons, able to protect Mega Man, follow him as he moves, get thrown as a projectile, and reflect most of the game's projectiles. Its closest rival is perhaps the extremely durable Junk Shield.
