Enemies
The 8 Maverick bosses forging the riot, and the weapon or technique that puts each one down fast.
Web Spider
BossA spider-like Maverick that scuttles across the factory ceiling and drops sticky webbing. Fought with X's base buster, since no Maverick weapon is available yet — patience and clean dodges carry this fight. Drops the Lightning Web.
- Weak against the X-Buster
- Watch for its web-line swings across the arena
Jet Stingray
BossA manta-ray Maverick that darts around its flooded arena, hard to pin down with a straight shot. The Lightning Web stuns it mid-dash, opening a clean window to punish. Drops Ground Hunter.
- Weak against Lightning Web
- The stun window is your best chance to land follow-up hits
Slash Beast
BossA hulking beast Maverick that charges relentlessly across the arena. Ground Hunter's ground-tracking capsule catches it even mid-charge, where a straight shot would miss. Drops Twin Slasher.
- Weak against Ground Hunter
- Its homing tracking cuts through Slash Beast's evasive charges
Storm Owl
BossAn owl-shaped Maverick that swoops through its own airspace arena. Twin Slasher's boomerang arc catches it on both the outbound throw and the return, doing serious work in a couple of passes. Drops Double Cyclone.
- Weak against Twin Slasher
- Throw it as Storm Owl passes overhead for both hits
Split Mushroom
BossA fungal Maverick that clones itself with illusions inside its virtual arena. Double Cyclone's spinning blades shred through the fakes and the real target alike, making the fight far more manageable. Drops Soul Body.
- Weak against Double Cyclone
- Use it to clear out the illusions Split Mushroom spawns
Cyber Peacock
BossA peacock-themed Maverick fought on a bright, color-shifting stage. Soul Body lets X copy one of the arena's regular enemies and turn its own gimmick against Cyber Peacock. Drops Aiming Laser.
- Weak against Soul Body
- Copy one of its own on-screen enemies to hit it back with its own trick
Frost Walrus
BossA walrus Maverick that slides across its own icy arena, hard to track manually. Aiming Laser's auto-lock tags it through every slide and dodge without needing a manual read. Drops Frost Tower.
- Weak against Aiming Laser
- The auto-lock keeps pace with its sliding charge attacks
Magma Dragoon
BossA dragon-like Maverick that lunges and breathes fire across the volcanic arena. Frost Tower's ice pillar douses his flame attacks and punishes the recovery after every lunge. Drops Rising Fire.
- Weak against Frost Tower
- Erupt it directly beneath Magma Dragoon between his fire lunges
