Ultimate Armor X (アルティメットアーマー エックス Arutimetto Āmā Ekkusu), also known as X, is a version of X equipped with the Ultimate Armor that appeared as a boss in Mega Man X5, and in the X Challenge from Mega Man X Legacy Collection and Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2.
Strategy[]
Mega Man X5[]
When playing as Zero, X appears as the boss of Zero Space Stage 3 to force him to avoid the Zero Virus and return to Hunter Base. X mainly attacks with Charge Shots, and also utilizes some of the Special Weapons he gained during Mega Man X4. His main weakness is Quake Blazer.

X Challenge[]
Ultimate Armor X in its black color design from X6 appears alongside Awakened Zero on Stage 9-4 of X Challenge in Hard Mode only. X will primarily dash and jump around and can wall jump, periodically stopping to fire charge shots. Despite the animation, the plasma shots do not leave a lingering field behind.
After losing half of his energy, X will start changing between the Fourth Armor, Falcon Armor, and Shadow Armor. His movements remain the same, but his attacks change depending of the armor. With the Fourth Armor, he continues using charge shots, and sometimes uses a charged Ground Fire and Spike Ball. With the Falcon Armor, X will use the Spear Charge Shot and sometimes its Free Move function. With the Shadow Armor, X will try to get close to use Engetsurin and sometimes will stick to the ceiling and fire triple Shuriken Shots downwards.
When is at Critical Health and Awakened Zero is still alive, he will use Giga Attacks of the respective armors.
If Awakened Zero is defeated first, X will return to the Ultimate Armor, and he will use Yammar Option to improve his offense and defense. Besides his previous moves, Ultimate Armor X will also use the charged versions of Ray Arrow and Guard Shell.
