His default combo in Mega Man X4 to X5 is normally a downward slash-to-outward slash done via his following arm then a forward-leaning downward two-handed chop that does three hits (while in Mega Man Xtreme and Mega Man Xtreme 2 he inflicts a one-handed inward slash slightly upward instead). The Z-Saber can be used on the ground and in mid-air and can perform combo attacks however, the normal slashes (and the combos) force Zero to stand still. When not used, Zero stores the deactivated Z-Saber hilt in a special sheath-like element located on his back (where in canon artwork barring his ambidextrous sprites, Zero has the sheath behind his left shoulder), although in Mega Man X7 and Mega Man X8, he keeps it out and activated as long as it is equipped (In the case of Mega Man X8, Zero has the sheath over his right shoulder in gameplay). In Mega Man X3, Zero uses the Beam Saber when he fully charges his attack, hitting nearby enemies directly.

In Mega Man X2, Zero releases a shockwave from the Beam Saber after using two Charge Shots, and he uses a dashing slash. In Mega Man X2 and Mega Man X3, this weapon is known as the Beam Saber ( ビームサーベル, Bīmu Sāberu, sometimes Beam Sabre).
