The {{Nihongo|'''Zero Knuckle'''|ゼロナックル|Zero Nakkuru}} is a weapon [[Zero]] uses in ''[[Mega Man Zero 4]]'', replacing both the [[Shield Boomerang]] and the rod weapons used in previous games. The Zero Knuckle consists of a Z-shaped chip implanted into Zero's palms. By punching enemies with the chip, Zero can rip off enemy parts and use them. A successful theft of such a part normally results in the destruction of most enemies, but some enemies like [[Yadokroid]] and [[Lamplort X]] will lose a part first. The weapons or parts can have a number of uses, and some have limited ammunition. If a stolen weapon is out of ammo or simply of no use any longer, it can be thrown away by pressing Select or in the pause menu, which can hurt an enemy as well. Since Elemental Chips have been omitted from the game, it's unknown if the Zero Knuckle can use the chips like Zero's other weapons. It can also be charged, however the charged version of the Zero Knuckle is only a stronger punch. It is unknown whether this weapon was created by [[Cerveau]] or had been part of Zero all along, but artworks of [[Omega]] from ''[[Mega Man ZX (video game)|Mega Man ZX]]'' show him having a Knuckle on his own, but with an Omega symbol (Ω) instead of a Z; this is most likely used for the [[Rekkoha]] and [[Rakuhouha]].

The {{Nihongo|'''Zero Knuckle'''|ゼロナックル|Zero Nakkuru}} is a weapon created by [[Cerveau]] that is used by [[Zero (Mega Man Zero series)|Zero]] in ''[[Mega Man Zero 4]]'',<ref>''Mega Man Zero 4'' instruction manuals<!--技術者セルヴォによって、造られた新たな武器。前作までの武器のように装備するタイブではなく、手のひらに直接チッブを埋め込んで腕力を強化したものである。敵を直接殴ったり、武器を奪ったりすることが可能。チャージをすることで、強力な攻撃ができる。-->.</ref> replacing both the [[Shield Boomerang]] and the rod weapons used in previous games. The Zero Knuckle consists of a Z-shaped chip implanted into Zero's palms that increases his strength.<ref>''"Did you try out your Zero Knuckle yet? You probably already know about it, but it's a weapon on board a chip implanted into your hand. It gives you a big strength boost that comes in handy when attacking enemies or stealing their weapons. It doesn't work for every enemy, but for the ones it does, just finish them off with the Zero Knuckles to grab their weapon."'' - Cerveau, ''Mega Man Zero 4''</ref> By defeating an enemy with the Zero Knuckle, Zero will rip off parts of the enemy and use them as a weapon. A successful theft normally results in the destruction of most enemies, but [[Yadokroid]] and [[Lamplort X]] may survive this attack at least once due to having multiple parts, and some enemies lack usable parts. The weapons or parts can have a number of uses, and some have limited ammunition. If a stolen weapon is out of ammo or simply of no use any longer, it can be thrown away by pressing the Toss button (Select by default) or in the [[Sub Screen]], which can hurt an enemy as well. The Zero Knuckle can be aimed in seven directions horizontally, up, and diagonally, and it can be charged for a stronger hit. The Zero Knuckle also allows Zero to [[Lift Grip|grip]] and hang on some objects, either by using the Zero Knuckle on the object or by pressing up near it, the latter working even when not equipped by the player, and to pull objects such as the vines in the [[Underground Forest]] and [[Tech Kraken]] while he is hidden.
   
  +
Since elemental chips have been omitted from the game, it is unknown if the Zero Knuckle is compatible with them like Zero's other weapons. Unlike the [[K Knuckle]] from ''[[Mega Man X8]]'', the Zero Knuckle cannot make use of the [[EX Skill]]s learned in the game.

==List of Zero Knuckle weapons==
−
Unlike the [[K Knuckle]] from ''[[Mega Man X8]]'', the Zero Knuckle cannot make use of the EX-Skills learned in the game. Also, the weapons it steals cannot be carried over to other areas.
  
  +
Zero can hold only one of these weapons at a time, and the weapons cannot be carried over to other areas, being discarted in the end of a [[mission]]. The [[Chips (Mega Man Zero series)|Weapon Plus Head Chip]] increases maximum ammo by 1. ''Mega Man Zero 4'' has a total of 54 weapons, divided into five types:
  +
*'''[[Buster]]''' - Ranged attack. There are eighteen busters available with a variable number of uses and power.
  +
*'''[[Saber]]''' - A short ranged swinging attack with high attack power. There are five sabers available, three of them having unlimited uses. Their usage is similar to the [[Z-Saber|Z Saber]], except that they can't perform combos, the standard attack being like the third slash, and lack a walking slash, dashing slash, skull crush and EX Skills. While a single hit from most cause more damage than a Z Saber slash, a well done Z Saber combo can pass their damage, making them more suited against targets that are hard to hit with combos.
  +
*'''Rod''' - A thrust with variable power and range. There are twelve rods available. Except for three rods, they can be used any number of times. They can be aimed in eight directions, horizontally, vertically, and diagonally. Zero can only aim directly down while airborne.
  +
*'''Shield''' - Mainly used to block or reflect some enemy projectiles. With one exception, the five shields available can be used any number of times. Some can deal a small amount of damage.
  +
*'''Bomb''' - Mainly throws a bomb in an arc that explodes on impact, Gear Bomb and Gyro Boomerang being exceptions. There are fourteen available. They have the smallest number of uses, but many of them cause high damage.

Zero Knuckle appeared as one of the Active Skills from the Zero (Z) [[Hunter Program]] in ''[[Mega Man X DiVE]]''. It is a short ranged attack that causes damage and has a chance of temporarily immobilizing targets. As Zero (Z) is upgraded, new effects become available for the skill. The skill has three chips, but only one can be equipped at a time: Power Increase rises the skill's damage rate by 5%, Armed Destruction makes the attack temporarily reduce the target's attack power, and Seize Weapon has a chance to temporarily disable a weapon from other [[player]] in the Arena.
  +
  +
Zero (Z) can also gain two Passive Skills, Show Time and Life Steal, that respectively gives the Zero Knuckle a barrier after use and a chance of stealing life energy from the target to recover Zero's own energy. He also has two Fixed DNA upgrades, Clean Hit, which prevents the immobility caused by it to be removed by other effects and ignores Preventive Shields, and Chip Upgrade, which increases the chance of triggering Life Steal by 50%.

The Zero Knuckle (ゼロナックル Zero Nakkuru) is a weapon created by Cerveau that is used by Zero in Mega Man Zero 4,[1] replacing both the Shield Boomerang and the rod weapons used in previous games. The Zero Knuckle consists of a Z-shaped chip implanted into Zero's palms that increases his strength.[2] By defeating an enemy with the Zero Knuckle, Zero will rip off parts of the enemy and use them as a weapon. A successful theft normally results in the destruction of most enemies, but Yadokroid and Lamplort X may survive this attack at least once due to having multiple parts, and some enemies lack usable parts. The weapons or parts can have a number of uses, and some have limited ammunition. If a stolen weapon is out of ammo or simply of no use any longer, it can be thrown away by pressing the Toss button (Select by default) or in the Sub Screen, which can hurt an enemy as well. The Zero Knuckle can be aimed in seven directions horizontally, up, and diagonally, and it can be charged for a stronger hit. The Zero Knuckle also allows Zero to grip and hang on some objects, either by using the Zero Knuckle on the object or by pressing up near it, the latter working even when not equipped by the player, and to pull objects such as the vines in the Underground Forest and Tech Kraken while he is hidden.

Since elemental chips have been omitted from the game, it is unknown if the Zero Knuckle is compatible with them like Zero's other weapons. Unlike the K Knuckle from Mega Man X8, the Zero Knuckle cannot make use of the EX Skills learned in the game.

List of Zero Knuckle weapons

Zero can hold only one of these weapons at a time, and the weapons cannot be carried over to other areas, being discarted in the end of a mission. The Weapon Plus Head Chip increases maximum ammo by 1. Mega Man Zero 4 has a total of 54 weapons, divided into five types:

  • Buster - Ranged attack. There are eighteen busters available with a variable number of uses and power.
  • Saber - A short ranged swinging attack with high attack power. There are five sabers available, three of them having unlimited uses. Their usage is similar to the Z Saber, except that they can't perform combos, the standard attack being like the third slash, and lack a walking slash, dashing slash, skull crush and EX Skills. While a single hit from most cause more damage than a Z Saber slash, a well done Z Saber combo can pass their damage, making them more suited against targets that are hard to hit with combos.
  • Rod - A thrust with variable power and range. There are twelve rods available. Except for three rods, they can be used any number of times. They can be aimed in eight directions, horizontally, vertically, and diagonally. Zero can only aim directly down while airborne.
  • Shield - Mainly used to block or reflect some enemy projectiles. With one exception, the five shields available can be used any number of times. Some can deal a small amount of damage.
  • Bomb - Mainly throws a bomb in an arc that explodes on impact, Gear Bomb and Gyro Boomerang being exceptions. There are fourteen available. They have the smallest number of uses, but many of them cause high damage.

Trivia

Omega Zero (ZX)

Omega's artwork form Mega Man ZX

  • The artwork of Omega from Mega Man ZX show him having what appears to be a knuckle on his own, but with an Omega symbol (Ω) instead of a Z. However, he was never shown using it in any games, although he did use fist to release some moves.

It gives you a big strength boost that comes in handy when attacking enemies or stealing their weapons. It doesn't work for every enemy, but for the ones it does, just finish them off with the Zero Knuckles to grab their weapon." - Cerveau, Mega Man Zero 4
