Explosion

"Although short ranged, this weapon releases an explosive wave of energy directly in front of you!"

- Alia, describing X's Explosion

Explosion (エクスプロージョン) is the weapon X and Axl receive from defeating Vanishing Gungaroo in Mega Man X7. It generates a powerful, but short ranged, slow-moving burst of energy. Axl needs to be wielding the G-Launcher to use it. When X charges it up, he can unleash blasts in all four compass directions, as well as straight up.

This weapon is Soldier Stonekong's weakness. It is also very useful on all the Crimson Palace bosses.
