Ice Wave

Ice Wave (アイスウェーブ) is Frost Man's Special Weapon from Mega Man 8. When equipped, Mega Man fires an icicle, which upon hitting the ground, will send a flow of ice along the floor until it hits a wall. It can freeze enemies (and some take damage by it), and it can even freeze the lava fountains in Sword Man's level. It is Tengu Man's weakness, freezing him to the platform for a moment, allowing Mega Man to fire extra shots. In Mega Man 10, the third Weapons Archive accesses Frost Man's data and uses the Ice Wave.

Damage Data Chart
Damage values in units in Mega Man 8.


 * For Bliking, it is the only boss in Mega Man 8 to take a different amount of damage from each strike from the Ice Wave (2 units of damage, the first strike; 1 the second time; 2, 1, 2, etc.), hence the data value in its field above is listed in fraction form.
 * Cut Man and Wood Man are available only in the Sega Saturn version of Mega Man 8.
