Description

NOTE: This is not the official description from the game's official website, as the information provided there is inaccurate and/or lacks sufficient details.

Second Armor X is the result of X equipping all parts of the Second Armor. This armor debuted in Mega Man X2 and later appeared in Mega Man Xtreme 2.

Following the events of Mega Man X, X returned the First Armor to the Light Capsules, where it would then be upgraded into the Second Armor. During the events of Mega Man X2, X would come across the Light Capsules and collect the newly upgraded armor parts. This armor notably introduced the ability to unleash a powerful attack with enough energy, which became a mainstay as seen with every armor that came after.

In Rockman / Mega Man X DiVE, Second Armor X appears as a playable character.
