"Shoots fire energy vertically. Effective against all airborne enemies. Some objects may be burned by this as well."
―In-game text, Mega Man X4

Rising Fire (ライジングファイア Raijingu Faia) is a fire-elemental Special Weapon that X obtains from Magma Dragoon in Mega Man X4.

Description[]

This weapon is based on Magma Dragoon's ability to perform uppercut/upward attack with flames. When equipped with this weapon, X raises his arm in the air and shoots a fireball upwards. Because the fireball that is shot out only goes straight up, this weapon has very limited horizontal range. When charged, X performs a flaming uppercut that makes him go up in the air for a bit, similar to Magma Dragoon's Shoryuken attack, and after the uppercut has been executed, a large fireball is then shot upwards, similar to the weapon's normal fire. Whether this weapon is used in its normal or charged state, Rising Fire can also be used to burn the wooden pieces and certain foliage in Web Spider's stage.

This weapon is the primary weakness for Frost Walrus and Sigma's first form. In Sigma's case, however, Rising Fire is the only weapon that can damage him, as his cloak will otherwise deflect any other weapons - including X's X-Buster and the Nova Strike. During the X Challenge, the weapon is also the weakness of Iris and her Core Crystal.

Dragoon Rising Fire

Dragoon attacks X with his Rising Fire move.

X, who had made himself massively powerful by donning the Ultimate Armor, single-handedly shot down Storm Owl and the entirety of the Repliforce air brigade that he was commanding over a volcano. Owl was seriously injured but still alive, and ranted at X in amazement over displaying such immense power that was far beyond that of regular Reploids, saying that it is X who was the true Maverick, not Repliforce. X then coldly executed him with a charged shot to the chest and rebuffed his claims. Suddenly, X heard rumbling and a voice under the ground of the volcano, and Dragoon suddenly burst out of the ground with a Rising Fire strike that X narrowly dodged, and proceeded to challenge X to a duel.
