Weakness: Blast Man’s Chain Blast
Weapon gained after battle: Block Dropper

General tips:

Halfway through this fight, Block Man takes on a new, gigantic form. When that happens, I suggest switching to the mega buster and just loading him up with charged shots using your power gear. Once you have the Chain Blast, jump over his final barrage and throw your bombs over his blocks.







Weakness: Block Man’s Block Dropper
Weapon gained after battle: Acid Barrier

General tips:

The Block Dropper will demolish Acid Man’s shield, so just keep dropping bricks. Make sure to slide past him when he jumps. Halfway through the battle he’ll send waves of acid at you, but those are easy to jump over if you watch for them.






Weakness: Acid Man’s Acid Barrier
Weapon gained after battle: Pile Driver

General tips:

Throw on your Acid Barrier before the battle starts, then patiently wait for your chance to attack. Don’t get greedy, because you can usually only get one or two attacks in before he retaliates. When he turns into a giant jackhammer, dash out of the way to avoid damage when he slams the ground.






Weakness: Impact Man’s Pile Driver
Weapon gained after battle: Bounce Ball

General tips:

For this fight you’re basically dashing into Bounce Man with a pointed weapon, so wait until he is on the ground to make your move.








Weakness: Bounce Man’s Bounce Ball
Weapon gained after battle: Scramble Thunder

General tips:

With Bounce Ball, this fight is pretty easy as you can just shoot out a large collection of bouncing projectiles all at once.









Weakness: Fuse Man’s Scramble Thunder
Weapon gained after battle: Tundra Storm

General tips:

This fight isn’t too tough as long as you watch him carefully to know if you should jump over him or slide under him as the skates toward you. Use the speed gear to avoid him when he begins dashing back and forth.










Weakness: Tundra Man’s Tundra Storm
Weapon gained after battle: Blazing Torch

General tips:

Using the Power Gear to boost Tundra Storm is especially effective for this battle. Hit him with it as he jumps over you.








Weakness: Torch Man’s Blazing Torch
Weapon gained after battle: Chain Blast

General tips:

Blast Man’s giant bombs do massive damage, so use the speed gear to avoid those. You can also use Blazing Torch to destroy his bombs as he throws them.


In Mega Man 11, you collect bolts, a currency that can be exchanged for lives, items that prevent one-hit-kills, and valuable permanent upgrades. When you die, you get to keep all your collected bolts, which means that even if you find yourself playing the same level over and over, you will still make progress. You can even exploit the system by visiting Block Man’s stage, which features a valuable, easy-to-reach bolt right near its start. Just use R. Coil to grab the bolt and die, or leave the level. Repeat. In ten minutes, you’ll have more bolts than you need.

Not every upgrade is available at the start. Some unlock after you beat certain bosses or die excessively. Here are some of the best upgrades to go after as soon as they are available.

Bolt Catcher – This makes enemies drop more bolts.
Auto-Charge Chip – This automatically charges Mega Man’s buster so you don’t have to hold down the button.
Buster Plus Chip – This makes your charged shot larger so it can take out more enemies.
Cooling System – This makes your Double Gear power-ups recharge faster.

Mega Man can’t dash as well or as quickly as his cousin X,
but he has a slide move that is very similar.
The default setting for slide is down and jump,
but you can remap the move to the left or right trigger (or any button you wish).
Having this dash on a trigger makes you more agile and is a godsend for many bosses.
This setup limits the functionality of being able to cycle through weapons with the shoulder buttons, but that’s okay because you should use the right control stick anyway. Speaking of which…
