MMXCM WT

Mega Man X - Command Mission

Platforms: PS2, GC
Released:
 29.07.2004 (J)
 21.09.2004 (NA)
 19.11.2004 (PAL)

Based on: PAL PS2-version (SLES-52832)



- Beneath the surface, MMXCM is essentially a Breath of Fire game.
- The game stores all save files in one master save data file (99 kb).
- When saving, the game automatically selects the most recent save file.
Be careful not to overwrite the wrong one if you load up an older file.
- The damage you deal is (ATP-DFP)*8.
- No idea how damage from enemies is calculated.
- There are three types of damage: Melee (C), Shot (S) and Neutral
(sub-weapons). There are separate defense stats for Melee and Shot,
which are Armor and Shield.
- As a result of the random variable, damage varies between roughly 90-110%.
- A critical hit increases damage by roughly 4*Pow (not ATP).
- Sub-weapons may all have different damage formulas, but I haven't
bothered trying to figure them out, as they're not very useful.
- Enemies can be either Ground-type or Air-type. Many Ground-type enemies
are resistant to shots one way or another, whereas melee and neutral
attacks receive a heavy Accuracy penalty when used against aerial enemies.
- There's no armor in the game. Instead, your weapons come with bonuses
to Armor and Shield as well as a Speed penalty.
- There are three elements: Fire, Water and Thunder.
- There are no healing items or spells. Instead, you can heal your
characters with energy from your Sub Tanks (as seen below). Each tank
holds 100 units of energy. You'll obtain new tanks from some bosses and
by finding Tank Parts (4 needed for a new tank).
   Single, 25%    |  20
   Single, 50%    |  33
   Single, 100%   |  60
   All, 25%       |  50
   All, 50%       |  80
   All, 100%      | 100
- When a character levels up, their HP is fully restored. This allows
you to save some tank energy.
- Sub-weapons and Action Triggers consume Weapon Energy (WE). Each
character generates 25 units of energy each turn (12 if they used Defend).
Energy maxes at 100. Initial WE doesn't increase from leveling up.
 × The game refers to many sub-weapons as "Panacea weapons," but what
 they mean is 'all-purpose weapon.'
- Action Triggers are unique actions that each character has. They consume
all WE and require at least 50 to be available.
- Hyper Mode increases a character's stats for a limited amount of time.
Each turn in Hyper Mode consumes 1 Hyper Point. Each character has a
certain amount of Hyper Points that can only be increased with the Build
Hyper item, which is available in limited numbers. Hyper Points can be
restored at a recovery point and by using the Gain Hyper item (found on
the field and dropped by a couple of enemies). Leveling up also restores
them.
- Each character has a certain, fixed number of slots for Force Metals
(FM) that serve the purpose of accessories. Most FMs come with an Erosion
figure. If the total Erosion exceeds the character's Erosion Resistance,
the character may receive penalties to their HP and WE generation.
Specifically, the character's max HP may be multiplied by 0,5; 0,25; or
even 0,05. and WE generation by 0,5 or 0,25.
 × Erosion>ER: Alert (small chance of penalty)
 × Erosion>1,5*ER: Warning (very high chance of penalty)
- You can carry up to 9 of any item.
- Exp is divided between all characters in the party, including the ones
in the reserve. Characters who are behind in levels will receive a greater
share.
- You won't see how much FME you're getting from battles until C5.
- Stealing one item from an enemy doesn't prevent you from stealing the
other item. Likewise, it's possible for an enemy to drop two items at
the same time.
- When using Analyze, the stolen and dropped items are not listen in any
particular order.
- If you run away from battle, you'll still gain spoils from any enemies
you killed, although Exp is reduced to 25%.
- Dead characters are revived with 1 HP at the end of a battle.
- The game tries to give you a seizure at the beginning of every boss.
You know what to do.
- When playing in PAL, you have to multiply your play time by 1,2 to get
the accurate figure (the resolution is optimized, but the frame rate isn't).
- You can turn off the sound effects and music, but not the voice acting.
Accordingly, you may want to consider getting the Japanese version (or
just play the game on mute like I do).
- You can return to the title screen by pressing Select while the game
is paused.
- You can skip scenes by pressing and holding either X or Start. Using
Start will skip consecutive scenes.
- When sorting sub-weapons or Force Metals in the equip screen, pressing
left and right will scroll two pages instead of one. I can't imagine this
being intentional.

   X Buster (Unique)         2 Sub Tanks
   2× Micro Missiles         1000 Z

- You should probably set L1 to Defend. Defending not only reduces damage
but also makes you immune to status ailments.
- You can leave the menu screen instantly by pressing O.
- You can pan the camera left and right with the second analog stick
(reversed - can't be unreversed), but it's fairly slow, so you'll want
to use L2/R2 when you need greater movement.
- Press Select to view the map.
- Press Triangle to dash. You'll need to dash into item containers to
open them.
- X's Action Trigger is the Charge Shot, which targets all enemies (when
not in Hyper).

use it on the target that needs it, though.

     -- Access Tunnel E-1 N --

 Items:
   Power Charge           Tank Energy 50         100 Z

- The vending machine here gives you figurines if you have the right
passwords. The passwords are different for each version, and it just so
happens that the passwords for the PAL version are unknown, so... Yeah...
It's not a big deal, though, as these figurines aren't required for the
figurine Challenge.
- Note that Power Charge only affects one hit (ie. it won't affect all
hits in a multi-hit attack) and even affects actions that don't deal
any damage (such as stealing). The charge is also lost if you miss.

- If you use a missile before Power Charge, you have to wait until the
missile hits. Otherwise, the charge will be used on the missile.

the Guard and Resist FMs.

[SkipScene016]. Plays after the fixed encounter.

- You have 2 minutes (144 seconds in PAL) to reach the Command Room
(doesn't run during battle or in the menu).

     -- Command Center Staff Room --

 Item: Tank Parts #2

     -- Base Entrance --

 Item: Tank Energy 25

- Save Point (you can get to it after deactivating the self-destruct
sequence).

end of C6.

[SkipScene019]

- Bosses often have something neat to steal. Once you have more characters,
you may want to give Item Capture to a character you're not planning on
using for the whole boss fight.


     -- Base Gateway --

- Use the Air Bus to travel between the Hunter Base and the city (press
Triangle to skip the little scene that plays).

     -- Air City South Square --

 Items: Figure Token, Figure Token, Figure Token

- The figurines don't really serve any purpose.

     -- Air City Shopping Arcade --

 Shop:
  Scope Buster            900 Z
  Jack of Clubs           700 Z
  Water Guard             500 Z
  Thunder Missile        1500 Z

- You'll want Water resistance for the next boss. Get two WE +5s for
Spider and a Thunder Missile as well. If you need money, just head on
to Tianna Camp. It's fairly easy to take out Zennydroppers with the
Scope Buster. Spider might hit them too with the Eagle Eye.
- Use the teleport service to return to previous dungeons.

     -- Command Room --

[SkipScene020]. Plays when you go to Tianna Camp.



 ¤~~~~~~¤   Tianna Camp   ¤~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~¤  C3

     -- POW Camp Central Gate --

 PC:                    Default (Massimo):
   Massimo Lv1            Massive Lance (Unique)  Water Guard
                          Power Charge            Massimo Plus (Unique)

- You can return to base by using the teleporter or any save point.

[SkipScene020]. Proceed.

- Save Point.
- Massimo natively takes 150% damage from elemental attacks. A +1 increase
in enough to bring it down to 100%. He also has a fairly low native chance
of countering attacks.
- Now that you have 3 characters, you can use Final Strike, which allows
you to finish off enemies if you take out 75% of their cHP in a single
turn. I don't really it use it much, since I'm usually going for double Exp.
- You can get more time for Final Strike by triggering it for multiple
enemies at the same time. One target only gives you 4 seconds, but every
additional target gives you 2 seconds more, up to a maximum of 10.
- The first areas have mostly the same enemies as Central Tower had.
- Blowfish is likely to run away if it's the only enemy left.

   Energy Tank 100       Combat Absorber         Ice Buster
   Gain Hyper            Shot Absorber           Build Hyper (Artifact)

- If you never use Gain Hypers, you should sell some of them. They're
worth 2000 Z each.

[SkipScene025]. Enter the Aqua Coliseum.
 |
[Boss: Silver Horn]
- 17 000 HP, W:T, A:W, 4000 Exp, 1000 Z
- Tidal Wave deals 50% cHP damage, but tends to miss.
- Eventually, he'll use Liquid Coating, which not only increases his
damage output but also gives him a barrier chance (damage multiplied
by 0,25).
- You'll, of course, want to finish him off with the Jack of Hearts.

[SkipScene027]



 ¤~~~~~~¤   Command Room   ¤~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~¤

- You can now deploy machines to find stuff in the areas you've been
to. A lot of the stuff is for the Sky Room and, thus, inconsequential.
Below, you'll see actual items you can get at this time.
 × Central Tower: Figure Token, Figure Token, Figure Token
 × Lagrano Ruins: Tank Parts #4, Good Luck, Lagrano Key, Figure Token,
  Figure Token
 × Tianna Camp: Infinite Resist (Artifact), Tianna Key
- I'm not sure whether the actual items count as 'items' or 'disks' or
if it varies. In any case, the result of the deployment seems to be rolled
before you even deploy. The items may have stat requirements, but I doubt
they're high. Your main concern is whether the mech survives the trip
or not (I doubt you can affect that either). All in all, the good stuff
is not hard to get.
- Once a mech has been deployed, you'll have to fight a certain number
of battles for them to return. This is usually between 10-30 (can be more
than 30 with the slowest mechs). Do the battles at Tianna Camp, since you
can't warp to the Command Center from Lagrano. I do 15, then give it 5
more if that's not enough.
- You start off with 3 machines: D-Shark, Patrol Dog and Sinedropper. New
machines can be found in dungeons, although some of them are broken and
require that you find a certain item to fix them first.
- Since Lv10 is max and a mech can reach it in as few as 3 trips, you'll
want to pay attention to how you level them up. Also note that, once
you've found all the items in a given location, you can't dispatch mechs
there anymore (even the Zenny is limited). Eventually, you won't be able
to make any dispatches at all.
- The Lagrano Key gives you access to the secret shops (as seen below).
You can't afford the weapons yet, but you can at least pick up a couple
of Assassin Minds.

     -- Sky Room --

- Here, you can view stats (like the number of battles and rate of items
found), completed challenges, figurines, sketches, files, wallpapers,
cinematic events and listen to tunes. You can also change the color of
X's "scarf" (I use the blue one).
- There are 36 challenges in total. Completing them doesn't seem to give
you any actual items.

     -- Air City Shopping Arcade --

                                         Ultra Thunder              600 Z

- You'll want to get the Interceptor and Kitty Gloves as soon as you can
afford them.
- The Get + weapons would be okay if the effect actually stacked - but
it doesn't. And some enemies are just plain immune to them.

     -- Tianna Camp - Maze Area 1 --

 Item:                  Special:

 Theft: Exodus (Preon Elite)

[SkipScene028]. Proceed.

- Attacking a Mettaur with a melee attack will knock it over and leave
it vulnerable to all attacks. This also multiplies their Exp by 1,5
(but only if they survive and are actually knocked over).
- Mettaur Commanders use Power Virus, which can inflict Virus on all
characters.

- A Pararoid that uses Parasite will still give you spoils as if it
had been defeated (not that they're worth much).

- You shouldn't use the Gatling Buster if you're going for double Exp.
- Neither the Shock Lance nor Shock Lance B actually seem to be able to
Bind the enemy despite what the game claims.

- A decent rate of Radar Killers here too in case you want the Shock
Lance. It's not that useful, though.

[SkipScene034]. Proceed.


     -- Eternal Forest --

- The Eternal Forest consists primarily of split paths, where you'll
have to fight fixed battles in order to proceed. Regardless of which
route you take, you'll always arrive at the Rare Item Storage Room,
where you'll receive some items depending on the route.
- Take the south door at RI Storage to get back to A1. If you want to
save, then you'll have to go through the whole dungeon again.

- Deals only S-type damage.
- Wait until he drops his armor to use Mad Ecstasy before you attack
(every 3 turns).
- Give Massimo the Hawkeye.
- Mad Cocktail targets all characters and can inflict Virus, Blind,
Bind, or Berserk.
- Tractor Nets aren't easy to come by, so try to steal that.
- You should go with double Zenny instead of double Exp. Get Zenny +
won't increase it any further (all bosses are probably immune to it).

     -- Command Center --

- You can now create Force Metals using FMG.
- Cinnamon natively takes half damage from elemental attacks. Her Action
Trigger allows her to heal the party. Quite useful, but I rarely use it
myself, since it requires you to rotate the analog stick quickly and,
again, I'd prefer not to do that.
- The only item you can get from dispatching to Gaudile Lab is a Generator.
- If you want a double Exp weapon for Marino, go steal a Beam Wonder from
the Rush Loaders in Eternal Forest (C3 / left 3 times).

- Don't forget to use Attractor when needed.
- Getting caught by the sensors is likely to result in an ambush.
- Let the Preon Nurse run away and you'll have a decent chance of receiving
the Injector (a rare drop when killed - not that rare with Good Luck).
- Couldn't really figure out the damage formulas for Marino's shurikens,
but I fixed up something that's close enough. In any case, they're not
really worth using. Not even if the enemy is weak to the element.
- Super Tripuffer's Exp and FME are multiplied by 1,5 when they're hit
by a Fire-elemental attack.
- Fire Glob's Exp is multiplied by 1,5 every time it's hit by fire (and
not killed on the same turn). This also increases its stats, so don't get
greedy.

(no spoils).
- You can use the Mini Battery either on the Blowfish back in Tianna Camp

latter, as it's actually blocking your path to a chest. Eventually, you'll
find a second one for the Blowfish.

- Hitting a Liquid Glob with a Water-elemental attack will freeze them

[SkipScene052]

- Zero has a low native chance of countering melee attacks.
- Zero can learn two new moves for his AT. They're unlocked after you've
performed moves a certain number of times with the AT.
- One of the Force Metals requires you to do 16 hits with Zero's AT. If
you're playing in PAL, you'll need to switch to NTSC for this one. In
both versions, a full charge gives you 10 seconds (5 at 50%). However,
inputting commands is a little slower in PAL, making 16 hits borderline
impossible.
- Killing a Rush Loader will make the other grow in size. This reduces
their Exp and FME by half. Once only one remains, it'll self-destruct by
using Explosive Dash (800 pod)(no spoils).
- You can boost the Plasma Glob's FME with Thunder-elemental attacks.

with a single attack (with a Z Rapier and Kitty Gloves), although I
doubt you really need money that much at this point.
- This is also the only place where you can encounter the Mettaur Gigant.
You need to steal from them to prevent them from running away. They're
fairly tough, so make sure you have a bunch of Backups.

- This is no doubt the most annoying area in the game. It's shaped like
a square and fairly large. Your visibility is very poor, and there's
nothing you can do about that.
 × The first three items as well as the mech are along the boundaries.
 × Go north from the first jammer or SSE from the mech to find the Mini
 Battery.
 × Go south from the entrance of the facility to find the Tank Parts.
 The third Figure Token is 8 o'clock from there, nearby.
- Put on some Virus Blocks and Blind Blocks.
- Wild Dogs like to inflict Berserk, so I wouldn't bother trying to get
double xp on all of them.
- Meltdown's Exp and FME is halved each turn.
- The spot that triggers the next event is west from the facility
entrance. I'd say the easiest way to hit it is by going NNW from the
jammer that reads 75%.

- You can fight the super boss in the post-game, but I recommend you
don't bother with it, because of the massive grinding you have to do
first. However, if you must do it for some reason, then read on.

- You have two choices when it comes to maxing your levels: Mettaur
Gigant and Chapter 10.
- You have to kill the Mettaur Gigant 50 times to get one level. Takes
about an hour. You'll also get some Build Shields, but they don't make
much of a difference. Here's my setup:
 × Marino: Item Capture, Power Charge, Fire Resist, Fire Guard, Eagle Eye
 × Zero: Hawkeye, Power Charge, Fire Resist, Light as a Feather, End to All
 × Cinnamon: Hawkeye, Shot Absorber, Light as a Feather, Reverse Fire
- Going through C10 gives you about 50k and takes about an hour. While
it's slower, it does give you Build Speeds, which is the only stat-boost
item that matters. You'll want your Speed to be above 100 for the last
form of the super boss (120 is good)(the Boost items won't help you, as
you'll be constantly dying).
 × Bear in mind, End to All doesn't work on bosses.
- You can also go for a mix of the two, of course. Personally, I find
repeating C10 much more tedious than fighting MG, but you really want
that Speed, so...

- Get all the stuff in deployment (including Zenny) while you're grinding
(it's one of the Challenges).
- You probably don't have Full Specs +10 and Protect +10 unlocked yet.
Getting 200k damage is no problem with SFM Fragments, but 180 hits
requires a specific setup. You need to use X in X Fire, Cinnamon in
Iron Maiden and Axl in Stealth Mode. Use Axl's AT to initiate the FS.
