Hmm, good evening all around.

We got some checks, approved for a loan to move, got the new Sonic comic, and FINALLY got Volume 8 of the MegaMan manga. 'Bout time, too.

And, to top it all off, I pwned Phoenix Magnion in Mega Man Zero 2. Now I'm stuck on the air raid. :P

Still, Phoenix used to be the tough one for me. Turns out less is more.

But I'm getting miffed at how elements don't seem to be doing jack squat to bosses.

Getting Forms like mad, too. Energy, X, Rise so far, I believe...

...Not doing jack squat to bosses? How so?

[lbd-nytetrayn.livejournal.com]

Charged saber attack equalling zero damage after a direct hit, that's how.

You sure you haven't equipped the elemental chip the boss is immune to?

[lbd-nytetrayn.livejournal.com]

Probably it. Weird stuff, though. How can ice be immune to fire?

Obviously not following the X styles, that's for sure...

I'm pretty sure Ice IS weak to fire, though. You sure the boss you're fighting is an Ice elemtal?

I can't remember what Phoenix's weakness was - either ice or thunder. It is worth noting that some of the Zero bosses have no elemental weakness (most notably, Deathtanz Mantisk) or others have veyr questionable weaknesses (Blazing Flizzard being outright immune to ice, but vulnerable to thunder - go figure).

To me at least, next to Mantisk, Phoenix is the toughest of the main Zero bosses and he is definitely the most wily of them. You have to take a wait-and-see approach. When he warps into place, "threaten" him by getting close and then strike him when he executes his attack. Anything else results in Phoenix giving a nasty counterattack.

It was an Ice Golem.
