Floating Mines

Floating Mines (浮游機雷) is an attack from Iris in Mega Man X4. When Iris is hit, she releases floating mines that will track down her foe. These mines also help her absorb damage temporarily. However, if Iris is hit while she is preparing her laser attack, no mines will be released from her armor.

Floating Mines, known as "Floating Wish" (浮遊する願い) in Japanese, is a skill from the default version of Iris. When used, Iris summons floating mines that automatically chase enemies. The floating mines will explode on contact, when attacked, or after 10 seconds. Floating Mines has three skill cards to improve it, but only one can be equipped:
 * Support Request - Extends the duration of Floating Mines.
 * Power Increase - Increases the damage multiplier of Floating Mines.
 * Ammunition expansion - Summons one extra Floating Mine.

Iris also has an unlockable passive skill that gives her a chance of releasing Floating Mines when attacked.

If Iris is hit while idle, she may counter by releasing six Floating Mines that explode on contact. The Floating Mines are replaced by beach balls when using her Swimsuit Iris costume.

Floating Mine also appeared as an equipment.
