Ice Slasher is [[Ice Man]]'s signature weapon, originating from ''[[Mega Man 1]]'' and reappearing in ''[[Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge]]'', ''[[Mega Man: The Wily Wars]]'' and ''[[Mega Man Powered Up]]''. It is featured in ''[[Mega Man Maker]]'' as of version [[1.1.0]].
Leaf Shield is [[Wood Man]]'s signature weapon, originating from ''[[Mega Man 2]]'' and reappearing in ''[[Mega Man II]]'' and ''[[Mega Man: The Wily Wars]]''. It is featured in ''[[Mega Man Maker]]'' as of version [[1.2.0]].


It sends out a fast projectile that deals no damage, but will freeze any enemy it touches for four seconds, and it can pass through shields, terrain, and objects as well. Destructible objects such as Dust Blocks can still be broken with this weapon. As it is an ice weapon, Flame Pillars and Fire Walls can be frozen by it too, making them safe to touch. Only one Ice Slasher can be onscreen at a time. [[Crazy Razy]] will be instantly defeated by it instead of being frozen.
When activated, it surrounds the user with a shield made of sharp leaves that can nullify enemy projectiles. The shield can hit multiple times, and by pressing left/right/up/down, it can be thrown in those directions, passing through all enemies, terrain, and reflective objects as it does. Only armored enemies can deflect the Leaf Shield. Additionally, the weapon only consumes energy when thrown. Sliding, dashing, or rolling does not launch the shield, and it won't fly off if it's activated while moving either. [[Moles]], [[Hot Dog]], and every member of the [[Spine]] family will be defeated instantly on contact with this weapon.

==Trivia==
* Since Leaf Shield doesn't consume energy upon activation, switching weapons can allow it to be used for free.
* In ''Mega Man 2'', Leaf Shield will slowly fall down off the screen if deflected. This was changed in ''Mega Man Maker'' to instead fly off toward the top corner of the screen.
* It originally could not nullify projectiles in its debut game.
