X8 Weapon Notes

Some of Zero's attacks change based on the melee weapon he is using. For example

• With the Glaive, the Bamboo Panda lunge attack becomes a flurry of stabs
• The Shadow Mantis spin with the Knuckle is reminiscent of Ryu's Hurricane Kick

Shadow's weapon is specifically needed for the Zero Fly technique.

Trilobye's weapon(s) permanently changes Zero's sword (and all weapons). Simply swinging it will do weakness damage to Gigabolt.

Trilobyte's weapon, when charged with X, is needed to discover several "buried" rare metals. This is not useful for any%, but required for 100%

Bamboo Pandimonium's weapon has Piercing - it will destroy enemy shielding (such as making a Met vulnerable, or helping remove Lumine 2's final phase's block)

Several weapons are needed for specific points in 100%, such as Sunflower's weapon to melt the ice at the end of Yeti's stage to reach the X Armor capsule.
