Magma Dragoon (Boss)

This page is dedicated to **Magma Dragoon** as a boss. For as a playable character, please visit the **Magma Dragoon** page.

## Description

One of the robot masters in Rockman X4. The Leader of the Maverick Hunter's 14th Special Unit. He is a skilled hunter who specialize in martial art techniques and fire-based attacks and as a martial artist, he longs to challenge X and Zero in a fair fight. Driven by his desire for battle, he even destroyed the Sky Lagoon, thereby starting the Great Repliforce War.

## Appearance

Story Mode: Volcano 10-6

Challenge Mode: 18th Boss node (Level 100 Required); Jakob Orbital Elevator Floor 55 (Solo)

## Moves

**Hadoken**: Magma Dragoon releases between one to three fireballs from his hands saying the word "Hadoken" while standing or kneeling. He can follow up this attack with a Rising Fire.

**Rising Fire**: Magma Dragoon uses a fiery jumping uppercut and says "Shoryuken". He can follow up this attack with a dive kick, returning to the spot where he executed the Rising Fire.

**Dive Kick**: Magma Dragoon will jump up to a certain height and execute a diving kick, going down fast diagonally to the last targeted location of the player.

**Jump**: Magma Dragoon can jump across from one side of the arena to the other.

**Flame Attack**: Dragoon can spew out a continues stream of flames from his mouth.

**Flame Bullet**: When his health is low, Magma Dragoon releases a storm of fireballs into the air which then proceed to rain down over the entire arena. During this move, he is enclosed in a flame barrier, making him invulnerable to any damage (whether from weapon or continuous damage effect).

## Strategy

The player can crouch or double jump to avoid the standing Hadoken, but must anticipate the followed kneeling or crouching Hadoken. Players who decided to jump over the standing Hadoken must quickly land on their feet, so they can perform another jump for the incoming kneeling or crouching Hadoken.

The player can dash under Magma Dragoon's Dive Lick. The same can be done after Magma Dragoon's Rising Fire but the player must be cautious of the possible follow up to Dive Kick.

When Magma Dragoon decides to use Flame Attack, the player can jump dash over to his back and unleash attacks. But compared to the original battle in Rockman X4, Magma Dragoon can execute this at the very edge of the arena, leaving no space for the player to stand on (forcing the player to wall jump to the most accessible wall area).
