Blaze Heatnix

Blaze Heatnix is a Reploid created by Gate in Mega Man X Collection designed to resemble a phoenix. He is later revived by his creator as one of his Nightmare Investigators.

Strategy
At first, Blaze Heatnix will yeall, "Magma Stream" during the battle. There are two strategy parts when Mega Man X or Zero battles him:

When the magma is on the ground:


 * Heatnix will swim and Mega Man X or Zero has to watch him when he's swimming in the fire until he jumps.


 * Heatnix will shoot the fireballs at Mega Man X or Zero, so he has to destroy them.

When the magma is on the ceiling:


 * The lava drops will fall into the arena.


 * Heatnix will fly in the room, so X or Zero has to slide and then jump over him.


 * Later, he'll fire crescents high or low in the arena.

After these attacks, Heatnix will become an invulnerable blazing phoenix, acting like a phoenix does in mythological times and then repeats again.

There are two weapons gained from him. X receives the Magma Blade and Zero receives the Shouenzan.
