Ballade Cracker

Ballade Cracker (バラードクラッカー) is Ballade's special weapon in Mega Man IV. It can be shot in seven directions, and explodes on impact. Ballade Cracker is also used by the "Bridge" boss. This is the weakness of Wily Robo Iron Golem's second form.

Ballade Cracker can also be obtained in Mega Man 10, Mega Man being the only playable character able to use it. In this game, it is a bit slower and it is Enker's weakness.

Ballade Cracker has yet to appear in the main Mega Man Archie Comics series proper, but it does appear in the crossover arc Worlds Collide alongside Ballade himself. One of these weapons was responsible for severely injuring Miles "Tails" Prower.
