* Spiral Blast Shot
* Headbutt

## 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.**

**First Armor X** is the result of X equipping all parts of the first armor to appear in the *Mega Man X* series. This armor makes its debut in *Mega Man X*, later showing up in *Mega Man Xtreme* and *Mega Man Maverick Hunter X*.

The First Armor is a set of armor X receives upon discovering the Light Capsules during the events of *Mega Man X*. Canonically, X was able to find and equip all of the armor parts but returned them to the Light Capsules after defeating Sigma, leading to the creation of the Second Armor by the events of *Mega Man X2*.

In *Rockman / Mega Man X DiVE*, First Armor X appears as a playable character at launch and uses his original design.

## Tips

* First Armor X is an incredibly versatile, adaptive character for a variety of reasons:
	+ Spiral Blast Shot:
		- Assisted by auto aim and deals huge amounts of damage.
		- Despite being multi-hit, it can deal even more damage with enough latency.
	+ Headbutt:
		- Has invulnerability frames and can increase damage output.
		- Has utility as a platforming tool by granting higher vertical reach.
	+ First Armor X has low cooldowns for both of his active skills without much endlag.
* The only major flaw is that  Headbutt cannot be used while double jumping and/or dash jumping.

## Trivia

* First Armor X's jump during his character select animation is a recreation of his artwork from *Mega Man X*.
* An easter egg animation for First Armor X can be found by switching back and forth between characters when selecting 5 times. In the animation, he will don the armor as usual but then perform a Hadouken instead of jumping. He turns his left arm into a buster arm after doing the Hadouken.
	+ The only way to access this easter egg, however, is if the player unlocked the character.
* Due to an oversight, First Armor X originally used Second Armor X's buster model when he is in the attack animation for  Spiral Blast Shot. This was later fixed in 1.4.0, where it now uses the correct buster model.
* Headbutt alludes to the Head Parts of the First Armor in *Mega Man X*, allowing X to destroy objects in the original game. The additional damage property however is similar to the Head Parts of the Icarus Armor from *Mega Man X8*.
* A weapon similar in appearance to First Armor X's buster is the Military Buster. However, it is closer to the design of Zero's buster in *Mega Man X* and is more elongated and darker in color.
* The SFX for  Spiral Blast Shot, his dash, and his teleport are ripped from *Mega Man X*.
* First Armor X is the only variation of X to share the standard charge shot with his normal counterpart, albeit with greater base power. Firing the normal charge shot has the same cooldown as  Spiral Blast Shot, however.
	+ This causes him to also be the only variation of X to employ the original multistage charge shot as it originally appeared.
