Break Dash

Category: Weapons Game information Damage: 1 (projectile, half charged dash) 4 (fully charged dash) Weapon energy per use: 1.5 (half charged dash) 3 (fully charged dash) Added in version: 1.8.0 1.8.4 (updated icon) Series information Game of origin: Mega Man V Development Programmer(s): Luigi

Break Dash is Pluto's signature weapon originating from Mega Man V. It is featured in Mega Man Maker as of version 1.8.0.

Behavior

If the shoot key is pressed (uncharged shot), the player will shoot out a projectile akin to the Mega Buster; uncharged shots cost no weapon energy.

If the player holds the shoot key down then releases it, they will perform a dash damaging any enemy in their path (including shielded enemies), with the addition of being granted invincibility frames during and two seconds after the dash (marked by a flickering sprite afterwards). A half charged dash will make the player dash 3 tiles horizontally while a fully charged dash will make the player dash 6 tiles horizontally. The dash will end immediately if the player dashes off a ledge or runs into either a solid object or an enemy that is not destroyed by the dash. The dash can also be prematurely ended by the player via either pressing the jump button, pressing the slide button, or turning in the opposite direction of the dash. Ending the dash prematurely will immediately activate the player's flickering invincibility frames.

The dash will only be performed if the player is touching solid ground; even if the shoot key is released in the air after charging the weapon, the game will wait until the player is no longer airborne before initiating the dash. This means the player can still shoot uncharged shots in the air while maintaining their charge. The dash can be charged during the player's flickering invincibility frames, allow the player to chain multiple dashes together to maintain invincibility for a long period of time.

• Break Dash is also the only player weapon as of Mega Man Maker version 1.9.3.1 that can destroy Bokazurah Blocks.
