  • 0x02DA3A = (01) Phase 2 weakness to disable*
*Only one damage table is provided for Wily Machine's weaknesses. However, during each phase of fighting Wily Machine, the game manually ignores damage when you have certain weapons equipped, giving the impression that each phase has different weaknesses. Normally, in Phase 1, damage is negated if you have Air Shooter or Quick Boomerang equipped. In Phase 2, damage is negated if you have Atomic Fire equipped.

Damage Values

The data below shows how much damage each boss will take from a specific weapon. In the ROM, each weapon is grouped and is separate from the Robot Master data. This is based on the USA version of Mega Man 2. Japanese values are located further up in the ROM.

It should be noted that any hex value from 00 to 79 (0 to 127) deals damage to the enemy, whereas hex values ranging from 80 to FF (128 to 255) will fully heal the enemy.

Atomic Fire

The game treats this weapon differently than the others because of its charging feature. An uncharged shot directly takes from the Mega Buster damage chart as seen above. A partially charged shot takes the Mega Buster table as well, but multiplies the value by 2 and always rounds up to the nearest whole number. A charged shot uses its own table as seen below...
