Jewel Satellite



The Jewel Satellite is Jewel Man's Weapon from Megaman 9. Mega Man has four jewels surrounding 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. However, it will take all of its weapon energy to defeat Plug Man. Also, a full energy bar will not defeat Fake Man unless you reflect a lot of his shots back at him, which wastes a lot of time in the Time Attack mode.

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.
