Pharaoh Shot

Pharaoh Shot (ファラオショット) is Pharaoh Man's special weapon. It fires a small fireball. This is the only weapon besides the Mega Buster that can be charged in Mega Man 4 and Mega Man IV. While charging, a large fireball forms over Mega Man's head, which can damage enemies who comes into contact with it without draining the weapon's energy or cancelling the charged attack. In Mega Man 4, the fireball can hit weak enemies several times, but disappears if it hits a strong enemy. In Mega Man IV, it disappears when it hits something, but keeps appearing while the attack button is held, being able to be used several times without using energy. When charged, Mega Man can fire the large fireball by releasing the attack button, and the fireball on his head disappears if it is still present.

Capacity
In both Mega Man 4 and Mega Man IV, an uncharged shot uses 1 weapon energy unit, and a fully charged shots use 2 units, and can still be charged if only 1 unit remains. With a full weapon energy gauge, Mega Man can fire a total of 28 normal shots or 14 charged shots in Mega Man 4, and 19 normal shots or 10 charged shots in Mega Man IV.
