Magma Bazooka



The Magma Bazooka is Magma Man's power. It fires three flame shots: one diagonally up, one diagonally down and one straight forward. It can also be charged like Heat Man's Atomic Fire. The Magma Bazooka is Hornet Man's weakness, especially because the Magma Bazooka can kill the three Hornet Chasers he spawns with relative ease before they scatter around.

Attack power
The following damage values were calculated excluding weaknesses and immunities:


 * Uncharged: Deals one point of damage per magma projectile. If all three hit the same target, it causes three points of damage. If two hit the enemy, it deals two points of damage.


 * Charged: Deals three points of damage per magma projectile. If all three hit the same target, it causes nine points of damage. If two hit the same enemy, it deals six points of damage.

When used by Magma Man, it deals 4 damage to Mega Man if he's ignited. If he's been extinguished by the Tornado Blow, it will only deal 2 damage to Mega Man.

Capacity
Mega Man can fire uncharged shots twice with the Magma Bazooka with one weapon energy unit. It costs 3.5 (you need to fire one regular shot to begin charging) weapon energy units to fire a fully charged shot. Mega Man can fire eight fully charged shots or fifty-six uncharged shots with a full energy gauge.

Usefulness

 * The firing angles can be useful in certain situations;
 * When charged, the weapon does incredible amounts of damage if all three shots connect a single enemy;
 * Uncharged, the weapon can be used as a primary weapon due to its low energy cost.

Trivia

 * This is the weapon that can cause the most raw damage in Mega Man 9.
 * You don't need to fire a shot in order to charge if you hold the fire button from a point where you cannot shoot, like the pause menu or screen change.
 * The Magma Bazooka acts much like Chameleon Sting from [{Mega Man X]}.
