You chose to ____ read this FAQ, you deal with whatever spoilers you read yourself. You're reading a DarkChips FAQ for EXE5. Why? Because DarkChips are now a fundamental part of the game. Even players who prefer the Light side of Rockman and are perfectionists who wish to keep their HP at 1000 may be using DarkChips for one reason or another. It's all in Capcom's innovative modifications to the DarkChips system in EXE5 as opposed to EXE4's system of getting DarkChips only when you're in Anxious Emotion Mode. Overall, not the most balanced of systems, but it has improved a lot.

[SCT4] _ _ _ _ |_*_ Section 1 - Changes from Rockman EXE4's DarkChip System _*_| [SCT1] Most readers of this FAQ should know how Rockman EXE4's DarkChips worked. The crappy, untested system which either made you neglect DarkChips throughout the game, or took away all of your skill, since they offered DarkChips at the start of every battle if you kept using them. Stupid system. It got a major overhaul, and now it actually intergrades into the game in such a way that it is a must for every player, or is at least usable by everyone without negative consequen- ces. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, then it's about time you read the EXE4 FAQs...fine, I'll explain. In Rockman EXE 4, you had the Emotions System, where Rockman gains FullSynch, Anger Mood and all that. One of them - Anxious Mood - was triggered when you got hit a number of times without you attacking back. Once this mood is active, you will be able to select from two randomly chosen DarkChips from your Custom Menu, as your 9th and 10th chips. You can only select one DarkChip, and no other chips with it. Using it in battle...you use it, then you get a glitch depending on the type of DarkChip. After the battle, you will permanently lose 1 HP (If you save, that is). There is a Karma System (Still implemented in EXE5) which calculates your Karma based on the number of battles you win with/without DarkChips. If you used a DarkChip in 5 consecutive battles, then you would become "Tainted", and will be able to use DarkChips right at the start without getting Anxious Mood (Because you're in DarkSoul Mode already). That was EXE4. Going back to EXE5. In EXE5, DarkChips are now obtainable as chips themselves - they're actually listed in the Library. These have a set code and can be placed into your Folders, and act as normal chips, only with the Dark effects. As with EXE4, when you used a DarkChip in battle, you would turn Dark, and will become glitched. After the battle, the 1 HP penalty is registered if you save. Same old, same old. However, there is a way to use DarkChips without getting all of those side effects, HP loss included. In addition to the normal Soul Unisons, other Dark Soul Unisons have been implemented into EXE5. These are known as "Chaos Soul Unisons", and basically Dark forms of the normal Soul Unison. This will be explained later, but in general, Chaos Soul Unisons will allow you to replicate the effect of the DarkChip of that Soul's attribute (Eg - Chaos MagnetSoul for DarkThunder)...but it's really just a gamble that will either propel you to victory or create a powerful adversary who will fight against you for a while. (Around 13 seconds) [efire_ - Thanks for pointing out the mistake here, but your info wasn't entirely correct :p]. It's all fun. Moving on. _ _ _ _ |_*_ Section 2 - The twelve fragments of Darkness _*_| [SCT2] Sounds sort of like the '5 Fragments' in EXE4, doesn't it? It's the same idea. You have Dark, evil chips. Within them are powers beyond imagination (Or just really cheap attacks). But there's a cost, as with all of these thingys they throw in anime and games. "You can't use this cursed Nebilim or you'll have a status effect in battle!". There are a total of 12 DarkChips. Although all twelve are both readily avail- able in both Team Protoman and Team Colonel, only six can be used for Chaos Soul Unisons (As there are exclusive Souls). This is why only the Chaos Soul Unisons are separated into ToB/ToC. Anyhow, each of the twelve DarkChips are of a different attribute - there are twelve attributes excluding Neutral, if you haven't noticed. As said before, all of these DarkChips are to be placed in your Folder, and can be selected for use or for Chaos Soul Unisons. Using the chip will glitch Rock for the rest of the battle and lower your Karma level, as well as deducting 1 HP from your total -MAXIMUM- HP permanently. (So yes, you lose 1 HP for the rest of the game. There's only enough HP Memories to get you 1000HP, so any DarkChips you use will take your total potential HP below 1000) If in battle, you use a DarkChip your Status Icon will change to a sprite of the tainted Rockman (Purple background, all those poisonous clouds etc. Capcom needs to get rid of that x.x), and it should flash (Indicating that you've used a DarkChip in that battle. If you're just plain tainted with >100 Karma, then you won't be flashing). If you 'die' (Go to/below 0 HP), Rockman will automatically go into Berserker Mode (See [BSR]). It sucks, so it's not a big deal. The limit for DarkChips is 3 per Folder...not that you really NEED 3. Chips Ahoy!...*Runs* \)-----------------------(/ ) DarkChip #1 - DarkSword ( /)-----------------------(\ [DC1] Chip Name: DarkSword ChaosSoul: ChaosBluesSoul [Team Protoman] (See [CSP1]) Counterpart: DreamSword PA Attribute: Sword Code: Z Damage: 400 Range: [_][_][_][X][X][_] R = Rockman [_][_][R][X][X][_] X = DarkSword Range [_][_][_][X][X][_] Description: Essentially a souped up DreamSword. Rockman slashes the 6 panels in front (2x3) with a Purple DarkSword, dealing 400 to all enemies and objects within its range. Glitch: - DudBuster - 3/8 times, your Buster will fire out 'blanks' (As in, it clicks and you don't fire anything). It's not a problem, but it does affect Charged Shots. How to Obtain: After Day 2 (Shademan's Scenario), you can buy DarkSword from a man at the SciLab Docks for 500Z. Power: **** (4/5) Accuracy: **** (4/5) Usefulness: ***** (5/5) \)--------------------------(/ ) DarkChip #2 - DarkThunder ( /)--------------------------(\ [DC2] Chip Name: DarkThunder (DarkThunderBall) ChaosSoul: ChaosMagnetSoul [Team Protoman] (See [CSP2]) Counterpart: ThunderBall Attribute: Electric Code: M Damage: 200 Add. Effects: Paralysis, Affects enemies in OceanPanels. Range: [_][_][_][_][_][O] R = Rockman [_][_][_][_][_][^] O = Opponent [_][R][>][>][>][^] >,^ = Movement of ThunderBall (Homing) Description: When used, Rockman will release a DarkThunderBall. This acts just like a normal ThunderBall - it will travel forwards and home in on the enemy. It can move in all 4 directions, but it moves fairly slowly and will disappear after a while if it doesn't hit anything. Glitch: - Custom Menu HP Drain: LV1 - When you go to the Custom Menu, Rockman will start to drain HP at a slow rate (LV1). This will occur until you press OK and close the Custom Menu. How to Obtain: After Day 2 (Shademan's Scenario), go to SciLab Docks and find a woman standing near a large brown crate. She will quiz you with 5 questions and upon completion, you will be rewarded with DarkThunder. [The NPC is the "Quiz Apprentice"] Power: ** (2/5) Accuracy: *** (3/5) [Far too slow...] Usefulness: **** (4/5) \)--------------------------(/ ) DarkChip #3 - DarkTwister ( /)--------------------------(\ [DC3] Chip Name: DarkTwister (DarkTornado) ChaosSoul: ChaosGyroSoul [Team Protoman] (See [CSP3]) Counterpart: Tornado Attribute: Wind Code: T Damage: 50 x 8 Range: [There are 3 possible ranges] [_][_][_][_][_][_] R = Rockman [_][R][_][X][_][_] X = DarkTwister Range [_][_][_][_][_][_] [_][_][_][_][_][_] R = Rockman [_][R][X][X][_][_] X = DarkTwister Range [_][_][_][_][_][_] [_][_][_][X][_][_] R = Rockman [_][R][X][X][X][_] X = DarkTwister Range [_][_][_][X][_][_] Description: When DarkTwister is used, the second panel in front of Rockman will be hit with a Twister - this doesn't cause flinching, so it will hit that panel 8 times, causing stunning each hit (With- out SuperArmour). How/why the range changes has not been verifed but it is either the # of glitches, your Karma level etc. Note that it will NOT be affected by panels, unlike the normal Tornado Chip. Glitch: - Custom Penalty - [Thanks to Shift Breaker for this info] After you use DarkTwister, you will lose 100 HP each time you open the Custom Menu, as a 'penalty' for using DarkChips. Note that you will lose HP EVERY time until the battle ends. You'll be left with 1 HP if you don't have 100 HP when you enter the Custom Menu. How to Obtain: After the 3rd Day (Cloudman's Scenario), go to the Oran Island Mines. In "Area 6" of the Mine Maze in the -Real World-, there will be a Scientist (He's at a dead end). He'll sell you DarkTwister for 500Z. [Thanks goes to Vlad Tepes for correcting above information] Power: ******(6/5) [DoublePoint + DarkTwister + Atk+30 + Atk+10 x2 + FullSynch = 160 x 8 x 2 = 2560 Damage.

Effects: Affects enemies in OceanPanels. Panels hit become Holes. Range: [_][_][_][X][X][X] R = Rockman [_][R][M][X][X][X] M = MeteorTower [_][_][_][X][X][X] X = Meteor "Range" (It targets all panels your opponents are on) Description: When used, Rockman will stand still until the first meteor lands - although this isn't much of a problem when thousands of meteors follow it. Invis would be nice. Meteors will home in and ONLY hit the panels your opponent is/was on, including your own panels. The panel that will be hit will flash yellow for a while before the meteor hits it, only one Meteor can land at a time (So there is an order for the panels that get hit, although it's only a difference of a fraction of a second). Other than that, you won't need any other chips. Just ChaosNapalmSoul [CH4]. In addition to that, the panels hit will become holes. Glitch: - Custom Menu HP Drain: LV1 - When you go to the Custom Menu, Rockman will start to drain HP at a slow rate (LV1). This will occur until you press OK and close the Custom Menu. How to Obtain: On the 5th Day (Cloudman's Scenario), a girl on the Cruise Ship will sell you DarkMeteor for 3000Z. She is a stupid one. Power: ***** (5/5) [Depends on # of hits, and that's random] Accuracy: **** (4/5) [Unless your opponent is a Netbattler who moves constantly, at least 3 Meteors will hit] Usefulness: ***** (5/5) [It.

X = Other panels that could be targetted Description: When used, time will be frozen. A cursor will appear on your opponent's panels, and will keep moving around the outer panels of your opponent's area - the panels in the middle will not be affected at all. Press A to stop the cursor. When stopped, the panel that the cursor stops on will be 'locked', AND 3 more targets will appear on the next 3 panels (See Diagram). All 4 panels will be hit for 300 each. (If a VDoll is hit at the same time as your opponent, VDoll's CUrse will still hit for 600, dealing a total of 900 damage). Glitch: - Custom Penalty - [Thanks to Shift Breaker for this info] After you use DarkTwister, you will lose 100 HP each time you open the Custom Menu, as a 'penalty' for using DarkChips. Note that you will lose HP EVERY time until the battle ends. You'll be left with 1 HP if you don't have 100 HP when you enter the Custom Menu. How to Obtain: [I don't know who to credit. Game Jester for posting it again, at least. Probably Zekiryo for original discovery. Thanks goes to whoever really found it] Near the end of the game, when you enter the Nebula Base, there will be a console behind three of your teammates. Plug in and grab the BMD to get DarkCircle.

DarkRecover1000) ChaosSoul: ChaosMediSoul [Team Protoman] (See [CSP6]) Attribute: Recovery Code: H/* Damage: +1000HP to self Range: N/A (You heal yourself -_-) Description: Using DarkRecovery heals you 1000 HP. Simple. If you have less than 1000 damage, or your maximum HP is 1000 or less, then you will be healed to full HP. Glitch: - HP Drain in Battle: LV3 - Once used, Rockman will receive the HP Drain LV3 Glitch - the highest level of HP Drain glitch-wise. This'll bring your HP down very, very quickly, so don't bother with DarkRecovery. How to Obtain: - DarkRecovery H - On the 7th Day (Cosmoman's Scenario), a Heel Navi will be idling in End Area 2. Talk to him, and he'll give you DarkRecover H... then try to kill you. How inconsiderate. - DarkRecovery * - Currently Unknown. Power: N/A [Recovery Chips don't do damage.] Accuracy: N/A [Unless you kill yourself from BadMedicine, Recovery Chips don't exactly miss...] Usefulness: * (1/5) [Considering the glitch + a few hits from your opponent brings you down by 600 or so HP, it doesn't do anything Recover 300 or Roll SP can't] \)-----------------------(/ ) DarkChip #7 - DarkSound ( /)-----------------------(\ [DC7] Chip Name: DarkSound (Of the Fanfare chip series) ChaosSoul: ChaosColonelSoul [Team Colonel] (See [CSC1]) Attribute: Object/Summon Code: E/* Damage: N/A Add. Effects: Paralysis, pierces Invis. Range: [_][_][_][X][X][X] R = Rockman [_][R][T][X][X][X] T = DarkSound (Object) [_][_][_][X][X][X] X = Area affected (All of opponent's panels) Description: When used, a Fanfare type Virus will appear in front of Rock. It works just like the other chips in the series - when it sings all of the opponents on your opponent's panels (Note - this does not include opponents on your panels. When they return to their own panels, they will be paralyzed there.). The Trumpet will sing at regular intervals, with each 'session' lasting around 3 seconds. Glitch: - Teleportation - It doesn't sound like much, but it's REALLY annoying. You know how on Ice Panels, you always slide from one end of the area to another? This glitch is EXACTLY the same, only you go to the other end instantly, meaning you can't do anything in the middle, unlike with Ice Panels. How to Obtain: - DarkSound E - On the 2nd Day (Shademan's Scenario), a guy in a green shirt will be 'hiding' behind Higsby's Shop. Buy DarkSound E from him for 2000Z. - DarkSound * - Currently Unknown. Power: N/A [Paralysis =/= Damage.] Accuracy: ***** (5/5) Usefulness: ***** (5/5) \)-----------------------(/ ) DarkChip #8 - DarkDrill ( /)-----------------------(\ [DC8] Chip Name: DarkDrill ChaosSoul: ChaosKnightSoul [Team Colonel] (See [CSC2]) Attribute: Metallic Code: D Damage: 100 (x1-5) Add. Effects: Piercing. Range: [_][_][_][_][_][_] R = Rockman [_][R][D][D][_][_] D = DarkDrill Range [_][_][_][_][_][_] Description: When used, Rockman will hit the two panels in front of him with a DarkDrill. Your opponent will be knocked back ONE panel on first impact - that means your opponent must be in front of you for maximum damage. Fan may help. If your opponent gets knocked onto the drill again, he/she will receive the same amount of damage repeatedly until the Drill disappears. Glitch: - Poison Panels - When Rockman steps off a panel, there's a 5/6 Chance of him turning that panel into a Poison/Swamp Panel. HP Drain: LV1. How to Obtain: A Heel Navi will sell you DarkDrill for 3000Z in End Area 1. He is located on a platform past a invisible path to the SOUTHEAST of End Area 1. There are TWO Invisible Paths. Power: ***** (5/5) [Very powerful if you get it to hit repeatedly] Accuracy: ** (2/5) [It's instant and hits all panels simutaneously, but it's just a multi-hit LongSword.] Usefulness: *** (3/5) \)-----------------------(/ ) DarkChip #9 - DarkInvis ( /)-----------------------(\ [DC9] Chip Name: DarkInvis (DarkInvisible) ChaosSoul: ChaosShadowSoul [Team Colonel] (See [CSC3]) Attribute: Invisible Code: I/* Damage: N/A Range: How can it have a range when it takes all of your DarkChips and uses them randomly without limits? Description: DarkInvis is officially the cheapest DarkChip ever made. Or any chip, for that matter. When you use it, Rockman will pause whilst Rockman DS takes over (He'll turn Purple, like with ChaosSoul Unisons). After that, AI takes over. Rockman has INFINITE DarkChips, but he uses DarkSword at least half the time...sometimes on the back row. -_-. But, when it does use something powerful, like DarkWide... and everything else until your opponent dies. Note that the only thing Rockman DS will do is use DarkChips. When one turn has passed - ie. Custom Gauge is full, Rockman will flash white and will revert to himself...and will be controlled by the player. [Thanks to Shift Breaker for the last bit above] DarkChips used: DarkSword, DarkDrill, DarkLance, DarkWide and DarkRecovery (Without the HP Drain Glitch) Glitch: - Teleportation - It doesn't sound like much, but it's REALLY annoying. You know how on Ice Panels, you always slide from one end of the area to another? This glitch is EXACTLY the same, only you go to the other end instantly, meaning you can't do anything in the middle, unlike with Ice Panels. How to Obtain: - DarkInvis I - [Thanks to Zekiryo for this info] After you've finished the game (IE gotten Blues' Icon), trade a Kawarimi * (AntiDamage *) for DarkInvis I in Shachihoko (?) > There is also a DarkInvis I in a PreCon Folder from a Heel Navi in Oran Island Area 3 after you've beaten the game. [Thanks to Pharohman exe for this info] - DarkInvis * - Obtained from the Numberman Lottery - Code: 68799876 Power: ******(6/5) [I was literally screaming "HOLY ****ING ****" when I saw its damage capabilities] Accuracy: * (1/5) [When the AI plays, it misses.

These knock your opponent forwards one panel (But not obstacles). DarkLance doesn't cause flinching, so you can follow it up with another powerful attack. What was Capcom smoking when they made the Lances PURPLE? Have you ever seen purple Bamboo flying around? *Smacks forehead* When you're in a Liberation Mission Battle with enemies on both sides, DarkLance will ONLY hit the back row of the side you're facing. Glitch: - PanicMood - Remember that useless chip in EXE3 PanicMood? Well, using Dark Lance confuses you EVERY time you get hit by an opponent. Too bad you don't have PanicMood in EXE5. =P How to Obtain: Finish the "Quiz Master"'s quiz. Power: ***** (5/5) [Extremely powerful for a non-flinching chip] Accuracy: *** (3/5) [You won't miss if they're in the back row] Usefulness: **** (4/5) [Can be used to knock opponents forwards, doubling as a part of a high damage combo.] \)-----------------------(/ ) DarkChip #11 - DarkPlus ( /)-----------------------(\ [DC11] Chip Name: DarkPlus (DarkAttack+) ChaosSoul: ChaosNumberSoul [Team Colonel] (See [CSC5]) Attribute: +/- Code: * Damage: +50 Damage to Base Damage of previous chip. Range: Useless by itself. Description: When used BEFORE any chip with a numerical damage value (A base damage), Rockman will glow green for a moment, and your next chip will receive a +50 damage boost. This means you can't use Colour/DoublePoint with it, but you will be able to stack Atk+ 10/30 after your chip. Rockman will be glitched with Teleportation as soon as DarkPlus is used. As with all glitches it lasts until the end of the battle (Without BugFix). Glitch: - Teleportation - *Same as DarkSound - Copy and Paste =p* It doesn't sound like much, but it's REALLY annoying. You know how on Ice Panels, you always slide from one end of the area to another? This glitch is EXACTLY the same, only you go to the other end instantly, meaning you can't do anything in the middle, unlike with Ice Panels. Note that this glitch is activated only when you use the Chip that gets a damage boost from DarkPlus (ie the chip behind it) How to Obtain: BMD in Undernet 1 - It's behind the Nebula Gate (Purple Skull) at the top left area of Undernet 1, and is -ONLY- accessible through the invisible path in End Area 1 that leads to a portal. Just for clarity, you will see the Nebula Gate/DarkPlus en route to Swallowman/Larkman in Undernet 1. Power: ***** (5/5) [+50 with no direct negative effects is VERY powerful. Too bad about the glitch though.] Accuracy: N/A [Unless you select it at the wrong time and it does nothing...] Usefulness: ***** (5/5) \)-----------------------(/ ) DarkChip #12 - DarkWide ( /)-----------------------(\ [DC12] Chip Name: DarkWide (DarkWideShot) ChaosSoul: ChaosToadSoul [Team Colonel] (See [CSC6]) Attribute: Aqua Code: T Damage: 300 Add.

The WideShot covers 3 panels on the column (If Rock is on the middle row, it will cover all 3 rows). The WideShot is piercing and will pass through any enemy or obstacle on the field (damaging it) The shadow that DarkWide produces doesn't actually do anything >>. Glitch: - DudBuster - 3/8 times, your Buster will fire out 'blanks' (As in, it clicks and you don't fire anything). It's not a problem, but it does affect Charged Shots. How to Obtain: On the 5th Day (Cloudman's Scenario), a Girl Navi in SciLab Area 4 will sell you DarkWide for 1000Z Power: *** (3/5) Accuracy: ***** (5/5) Usefulness: **** (4/5) _ _ _ _ |_*_ Section 3 - Embrace the Darkness - Chaos Soul Unisons _*_| [SCT3] One of the newest (And more brilliant) systems implemented into EXE5 - Chaos Soul Unisons. Each of the Soul Unisons (All 12 of them - 6 exclusive to each version) have a Chaos version, or a Dark Version. To activate Chaos Soul Unisons, you must 'sacrifice' the corresponding DarkChip (Of the same attribute as the Soul Unison). Note that you are allowed to select any other chips as per usual, as well as OTHER DarkChips should you wish to. The first thing you'll have noticed with Chaos Soul Unisons would be the change in colour for the Soul Unison's Sprite. Most of them are either Purple/Green. That's a minor difference. Take a look at the Soul Unison Counter (Emotion Mode Window). You have just ONE turn with the ChaosSoul Unison (This can NOT be increased with SoulTime +1 NCPs) Any non-charge buster related Soul Abilities, such as GyroSoul's OmniShoes, will be carried over to the ChaosSoul. They are no different. The main differe- nce is the Charged Buster. Instead of being the normal Charged Buster, such as BluesSoul's WideSword or NumberSoul's DiceBomb, you have a strange 'dark' charged buster. Please don't play with this yet. The main point of Chaos Soul Unisons is to allow you to use the Soul's DarkChip without getting ANY of the bad Side Effects, glitches included. As with all Dark Weapons, there's a risk to it. The DarkChip Charged Buster (Yes, CHARGED BUSTER) is a very, very shape double- edged Sword. If you time it correctly every time, then it becomes an invaluable addition to your arsenal, and you'll annihilate SP Navis with ease. If you don't...get ready to take a crapload of damage. ~ Important: Charged Buster Information ~ Your Charged Buster has THREE modes. - Green. You're safe; Your Buster is Charging. Get ready to release when it changes to Purple. If you let go now, you'll just fire a normal Buster Shot. - Purple. This is the crucial point. You MUST let go now (You have a bit less than a second to do so). If you let go before it changes colour again then you'll use that DarkChip straight away. - Flashing. It's flashing Green, then Purple, then Green. If you release it when it flashes Purple, then you'll use your DarkChip. Releasing it when it's green...you summon Rockman DS. Poo. [Thanks only to Markmesterio. Nothing for those people who argued over nothing for no reason.] There are TWO ways to get rid of your Charged Buster if you don't want to risk having Rockman DS pummel you: - Go to the Custom Menu - Use ANY Chip If all goes well and you release your charged buster in the fraction of a second in between Green and Flashing, then you've unleashed hell, DarkChip style. Note that ALL of the DarkChips retain their normal damage, but cannot be powered up (So DarkTwister will keep the 50 x 8, but you can't power it up with chips or GyroSoul [As you have to use DarkTwister for ChaosGyroSoul -_-]). If you don't, then Rockman DS will appear. \)---------------------(/ ) Rockman DS (DarkSoul) ( /)---------------------(\ [RDS] Description: Rockman's Dark Counterpart - created by the evil peoples of the evil world for no apparent reason other than "Oh noes we haev nu 1 as pwerfal as Rockman lolol letz maek a chaep verson of hems" Appears when you've ****ed up and mistimed the ChaosSoul Charged Buster. You will be stunned for a millisec or so whilst Rockman DS spawns on your opponent's panels and attempts to kill you. HP: None. Cannot be hit in any way. Deleting DS: Impossible. He cannot be harmed, and will not disappear from the battle until either you defeat the Viruses or Navi you were fighting in the first place, or after 30 seconds or so. Think of Rockman DS as an annoying Yoh Clone who tries to kill you whilst in God Mode. *Runs* Any attack performed on Rockman DS will go RIGHT through, so he doesn't actually block the way. Attack #1: - Vulcan Buster - Rockman DS will stand still for a second or so, then fire off his charged buster repeatedly, dealing massive damage should you stand still. It does not cause flinching, so it will hit multiple times. Each time, Rockman will fire his Vulcan Buster thrice, dealing damage per shot. Attack #2: - Random Chippage - Rockman DS is stupid. He will use chips every once in a while, usually after 4-5 Vulcan Buster Bursts. Usually, he uses generic chips like Cannon, EnergyBomb, AirHock, AirWheel and such, but he will use things like Shademan. On the back row. -.- Other Notes: Rockman DS moves/teleports very quickly when he's attacking, and will always atttack after moving (Usually with his Vulcan Buster). Your opponent -can't- go on any of the panels in their field - since it's all AI programmed, Rockman DS will probably move out of the way to compensate. Anyhow he will keep attacking and will probably do like...200 damage alone before his vanishes. Remember, you're up against him AND all of the other enemies. If you're playing a Liberation Mission Battle where you have Virii on both sides, Rockman DS can freely teleport from side to side, making him slightly more annoying. Remember, it's YOUR fault Rockman DS is on the field. Suffer... kinda. He's too weak to make you suffer. Try Invis if you really have problems. You can have your very own Rockman DS...only it's FAR better. Meet Rockman: Berserker Mode. *Note that this is not the same as -Rockman DS-. Rockman -Berserker- Mode is triggered by -DarkChips-, Rockman DS by a failed -ChaosUnison Charged Buster-* \)-----------------------(/ ) Rockman: Berserker Mode ( /)-----------------------(\ [BSR] Description: It's the same Rockman DS, only he takes over Rockman and fights as an AI player. Sucks at aiming, but the massive chip damage compensates. If you use a DarkChip in battle, your icon will become that purple tainted thing (With Rock and all those purple clouds of evilness) and should flash. If you go to/below 0 HP, then you don't lose. Nope. You get your DS counterpart to merge with you. Isn't that clever? "OH NOES I'M GUNNA DAI!!! I OUGHT TO LET MY DARK SIDE TAKE OVER SO HE CAN RUN AWAY WITH MY BODY AGAIN LOLOL!" Anyhow, Once DS takes over, he will be AI controlled and will be impervious to almost all attacks, and will spam DarkChips and his CrapBusterEX. Literally. Duration: 13 seconds, give or take. It should be 15, but I guess Capcom cut it short. At 10 seconds, Rockman will start flashing white. This is a good time to pull up the Custom Menu (Yes!) When Rockman turns back to normal, he will have ONE HP. It doesn't matter if you won the battle, or if the enemies are still alive. You have 1 HP. Attacks: - DarkSword [DC1] - DarkMeteor [DC4] - DarkDrill [DC8] - DarkLance [DC10] - DarkWide [DC12] - Possibly any other chips in your Folder that you've used before. - ChaosVulcan...Crap Edition - Rockman can fire his Buster repeatedly, using it as a Vulcan like Napalmman's in Liberation Missions. The only problem is that the Vulcan only does 1 damage (Unconfirmed. It may do 1 damage because of the lack of Atk+1, or it may be set to 1 damage). Rockman will fire it in bursts of 6 shots, but he can spam it. =o. Other Notes: Rockman: Berserker Mode WILL be able to teleport from panel to panel, and he will use a DarkChip/Buster upon every teleport. You will not lose additional HP from using Berserker Mode. You either lose 1HP for using DarkChips in the battle, or none if you were already in Tainted Mode and did not use a DarkChip during the battle. Weakness: [Thanks to Shift Breaker] Apparently, if you are hit by a time-freezing chip that does NOT have a damage counter but does damage, then Rockman DS will be deleted. This includes the Django chip series, Gun Del Sol series and Areagrab/Panelgrab.

[Note that some of the normal Soul Abilities do not apply to the ChaosSoul Unisons, and have been completely omitted. Refer to the Soul Unisons Guide for information on the normal Souls.] First we begin with the Chaos Soul Unisons for Team Protoman, which, as stated previously, are the Chaos counterparts of the 6 Soul Unisons obtainable from Team Protoman's exclusive 6 Navis. These are: Protoman -> ChaosProtoSoul [CSP1] Magnetman -> ChaosMagnetSoul [CSP2] Gyroman -> ChaosGyroSoul [CSP3] Napalmman -> ChaosNapalmSoul [CSP4] Searchman -> ChaosSearchSoul [CSP5] Medi -> ChaosMediSoul [CSP6] \)------------------------------------(/ ) ChaosSoul Unison #1 - ChaosProtoSoul ( /)------------------------------------(\ [CSP1] Soul Unison: ChaosBluesSoul Game Version: Team Protoman DarkChip: DarkSword Z (See [DC1]) Attribute: Sword Charged Buster: (Dark)LifeSword (See [DC1]) How to Obtain: On Day 10, you will be liberating Dark Blues (2nd time?). After [BluesSoul] completing the mission and watching all the cutscenes and so on you will receive BluesSoul. [DarkSword] (See [DC1]) ~ Soul Ability: - #1: StepStrike - BluesSoul/ChaosBluesSoul can change any non-time freezing Sword attribute into a StepSword. When a Sword chip is lined up as your next chip, hold A. Rockman should charge up the chip. When A is released, Rockman will step forwards 2 panels and hit the panel in front with the sword you charged. For example: [_][_][_][_][_][_] @ = Where Rockman was originally [_][@][_][R][X][X] R = Rockman (Stepped forwards) [_][_][_][_][_][_] X = LongSword Hit Range Note that this ability does NOT work on Time-freezing Sword Chips such as Blues/SP.

If you are hit when said shield is activated (as in when the Shield animation is displayed), it will deal 50 damage instantly to the frontmost target in your row. Note that piercing attacks will go through the shield and deal damage as per usual. Damage: 50 [With successful shielding and target in same row] Power: * (1/5) Range: *** (3/5) Accuracy: ** (2/5) [Accurate only if opponent is on the same row] Usefulness: ***** (5/5) [Depends on situation] \)-------------------------------------(/ ) ChaosSoul Unison #2 - ChaosMagnetSoul ( /)-------------------------------------(\ [CSP2] Soul Unison: ChaosMagnetSoul Game Version: Team Protoman DarkChip: DarkThunder M (See [DC2]) Attribute: Elec Charged Buster: (Dark)ThunderBall (See [DC2]) How to Obtain: After you liberate End Area 3 and defeat Shademan, you will [MagnetSoul] obtain MagnetSoul, BUT you will not be able to use Chaos-Magnet Soul until you defeat Rockman DS. [DarkThunder] (See [DC2]) ~ Soul Ability: - #1: Magnet Feet - When your opponent is on the same row as you, you can press <- + B (Same as Shield, only Shield will NOT function at ANY time whatsoever if you're in MagnetSoul). If you're successful, your opponent will be rooted to the panel - a 'magnetic vortex' (like with MagBomb in EXE2) will appear on the panel. Note that it works just like Timpani - your opponent is free to attack (But he/she WILL be stunned when the vortex appears), but cannot move off the panel, regardless of whether he flinches or not. Rockman's feet will have purple aura thingys surrounding them when this ability is activated, so you can tell whether it was your crappy timing or your crappy hand co-ordination that messed it up. Power: N/A Range: ***** (5/5) Accuracy: * (1/5) [Chances are, you'll mess up and leave yourself vulnerable. Netbattlers can foresee it, and Navis will probably move off the row before you press it] Usefulness: ** (2/5) [If you want to immobilize your opponent, use a Timpani. Too bad ChaosMagnetSoul doesn't have the Magnet Charged Buster] ~ Soul Ability: - #2: EnergyCharge - All Electric Chips will receive a 2x damage boost, regardless of when you use/select it as long as MagnetSoul is active.

Note that you will get Gyroman in your team on Cloudman's Mission, but will not receive GyroSoul then. (No details to reduce spoilers) [DarkTwister] (See [DC3]) ~ Soul Ability: - #1: GaleBooster - GyroSoul/ChaosGyroSoul has a fan, right? You need to get that to spin to get your W/N Chips to do 2x damage (Getting it to spin also makes NORMAL GyroSoul's Charged Buster do +5 damage per hit). To do so, use a Wind Chip WITH a damage value - chips like Wind/Fan don't count. After that, as long as the Fan spins (Rumoured to never stop spinning...), your Wind AND Normal Chips to do double their damage, as long as they have Damage Values. [Thanks to Shift Breaker for the following bit]. When you use your 2x damage Wind/Normal Chip, GyroSoul's fan will cease to spin, and you will need another Wind chip to trigger it again.

This allows Megaman to step over any panels without negative effects: - Not breaking cracked panels - Stepping over broken/missing panels - Negates HP Drain from Swamp/Poison Panels - Does not receive damage from Lava Panels - Not slowed from Ocean Panels - Does not slide on Ice Panels - Not repelled by Repel Panels Damage: N/A Power: N/A Range: N/A [Depends on Chip] Accuracy: N/A [Depends on Chip] Usefulness: ***** (5/5) [OmniShoes resembles a chunk of the ol' HubBatch] \)-------------------------------------(/ ) ChaosSoul Unison #4 - ChaosNapalmSoul ( /)-------------------------------------(\ [CSP4] Soul Unison: ChaosNapalmSoul Game Version: Team Protoman DarkChip: DarkMeteor F (See [DC4]) Attribute: Heat Charged Buster: (Dark)MeteorArm (See [DC4]) How to Obtain: After you defeat Rockman DS and get Rockman back, you will [NapalmSoul] receive NapalmSoul, along with GyroSoul and the ability to use ChaosSoul Unisons. [DarkMeteor] (See [DC4]) ~Add. Notes~: Megaman will receive damage whilst stepping over Ocean Panels. ~ Soul Ability: - #1: Napalm Conversion - If a Fire Chip is selected, you can hold A to charge it up. When it is fully charged, you can let go of A to throw a Napalm Bomb and it'll land 3 spaces ahead and explode, hitting all enemies in a 3 x 3 grid. Additionally, the damage of the NapalmBomb is twice the base damage of the Fire Chip used. *And will negate the effect of any damage booster - LavaShoes/Booster* (Thanks - Zidanet129) Damage: [Damage of Fire Chip] x2 Power: ***** (5/5) [2x damage omgomgomgomg etc.] Range: *** (3/5) [Hard to hit if you get Areagrabbed] Accuracy: **** (4/5) [The only drawback is that you have to throw it.] Usefulness: **** (4/5) [Greatly increases accuracy of most Fire chips] ~ Soul Ability: - #2: Booster - NapalmSoul simply adds 40 damage to the base damage of any Fire Chips you use (in said Soul). This does -not- require charging up or anything. Booster stacks with LavaShoes, as well as any Atk+ chips you tack on. Damage: [Damage of Fire Chip] +40 Power: ***** (5/5) [It's a free +40 damage...] Range: N/A [Depends on chip] Accuracy: N/A [Depends on chip] Usefulness: ***** (5/5) ~ Soul Ability: - #3: LavaShoes - If your next chip is a Fire element Chip, stepping over Lava Panels whilst in NapalmSoul will change that panel back to normal and will give your Fire Chip +10 base damage.

[DarkCircle] (See [DC5]) Soul Ability: - Chip Shuffle - Lets you exchange all unselected chips in your Custom Menu screen for other randomly selected ones from your Folder. Basically, you reshuffle your dealt chips. You may only use this ability 3 times at the Custom Menu per turn, and the chips shuffled away return to your Folder. Note that chips you have already used cannot be received in this manner. (SearchSoul also has this ability) Damage: N/A Power: N/A Range: N/A Accuracy: N/A Usefulness: ***** (5/5) [You can pretty much draw any chip you want, with a large chip draw at the Custom Menu unless you're very unlucky.

Not Blues, [MediSoul] but that's Capcom (Note: I haven't gotten here, so I don't know) [DarkRecovery] (See [DC6]) Soul Ability: - Ability Fusion - MediSoul/ChaosMediSoul has the ability to merge chips in your Folder with special 'Ability Capsules', which appear on the blank spot after the 8th chip. Two random Ability Chips will appear when you enter the Custom Menu with MediSoul (Meaning you can only use these Ability Capsules when you're finished with ChaosMediSoul's turn). You can select any chip, then select one of the capsules to fuse the two chips, granting the chip an extra effect. If the effects of the capsule overlap/conflict with the chip's effects then the chip's original effect is foregone. Lightning Capsule - Adds paralysis to chip Sight Capsule - Adds Blind effect to chip Confusion Capsule - Adds confusion effect to chip Heart Capsule - Recover a portion of HP based on chip. Poison Capsule - Adds HP Drain Lv1 Glitch onto chip. [HP Drain only works in Netbattle on Humans] Power: N/A [Depends on Chips used] Range: N/A [Depends on Chips] Accuracy: N/A [Again, Chips. The capsules don't 'miss' though.] Usefulness: ***** (5/5) [The multitude of effects gives this ability an automatic 5 star. The Paralysis/Lightning Capsule is reckoned to be the best for Netbattles.] As with Team Protoman, Team Colonel has its 6 exclusive Chaos Soul Unisons, respective of its 6 exclusive Navis.

Howver, some obstacles you may need for other purposes, which would be destroyed with Colonel Army.] [ArmChange has been omitted, as its effects do not last - the ArmChange reverts to the normal buster on the second turn, and you may only select a chip on the second turn in ChaosColonelSoul.] \)-------------------------------------(/ ) ChaosSoul Unison #8 - ChaosKnightSoul ( /)-------------------------------------(\ [CSC2] Soul Unison: ChaosKnightSoul Game Version: Team Colonel DarkChip: DarkDrill D (See [DC8]) Attribute: Metallic Charged Buster: DarkDrill (See [DC8]) How to Obtain: Liberate Orange Island Area 3, and you can use this ChaosSoul [KnightSoul] after you obtain TomahawkSoul. [DarkDril] (See [DC8]) ~ Soul Ability: - #1: KnightArmor - When Rockman uses any offensive chip (with a damage value) that doesn't freeze time in KnightSoul, he will become temporarily invincible during the execution of the chip. In other words, you can't be hit whilst you use any attack chip - not even by piercing attacks or otherwise. (Similar to invinciblity from Fanfare) Power: N/A Range: N/A Accuracy: N/A Usefulness: ***** (5/5) [Invincibility when using basically any damage chip without any negative effects. You're pretty much untouchable, especially with a solid defense.] ~ Soul Ability: - #2: Power Break - When in KnightSoul, chips with the Metallic attribute may be charged up by holding A, doubling the base damage for the chip. Very useful for chips like DrillArm and AirHock. Damage: [Damage of Metallic Chip] x2 Power: ***** (5/5) Range: N/A [Depends on Chip] Accuracy: N/A [Depends on Chip] Usefulness: ***** (5/5) [Double Damage!] ~ Soul Ability: - #3 SuperArmor - This grants the effect SuperArmor, like the Navi Customizer Program. This makes you impervious to chips that cause stunning (not paralysis), meaning you will be able to move when being hit with a Vulcan, or any other chip which normally causes Rockman to flinch. Stacking this with the SuperArmor NCP has no effect. Damage: N/A Power: N/A Range: N/A Accuracy: N/A Usefulness: **** (4/5) [SuperArmor has proved very useful in Netbattles and avoiding heavy damage in all MMBN games.

When released, Rockman will teleport behind the closest opponent and use the chip. Damage done and the range of the chip does not change (meaning ShadowSoul doesn't give 2x damage bonuses to Swords.) Damage: [Damage of Sword Chip] Power: N/A [Depends on Sword] Range: ***** (5/5) [Unless your opponent always stays in the back row, you can definitely reach. However, in a Netbattle your opponent may anticipate your strategy and remain in the back row, out of range.] Accuracy: **** (4/5) [In theory, it shouldn't miss unless your opponent is moving when you activate your Sword chip. Your Sword hip's range also makes it more accurate, especially with LifeSword.] Usefulness: **** (4/5) [Tends to help you hit with Sword chips easily, but sometimes it may be preferable to hit from the front.] ~ Soul Ability: - #3: AntiDamage - Similar to the Navi Customizer Program AntiDamage, this ability lets you activate AntiDamage for a short period (<1 second), in which if you are hit, AntiDamage is activated and Rockman throws 3 shruikens whilst negating the attack. The shruikens aim for the frontmost opponent. This replaces any Shield/AntiDmg NCPs you have active, meaning you will not be able to Shield with ChaosShadowSoul. Damage: ?? x3 [![Need confirmation]!] Power: *** (3/5) Range: **** (4/5) [Autotargets frontmost opponent, but only one.] Accuracy: ** (2/5) [Easy to dodge, may be harder if opponent's attack delays their movement. SuperArmor makes consecutive hits unlikely.] Usefulness: *** (3/5) [Better off with Shield, as AntiDamage has short 'guarding' duration] ~ Soul Ability: - #4 NinjaShoes - Rockman will not be affected by panels with negative effects when standing on them, such as damage on lava or sliding on ice panels. Identical to the FloatShoes Navi Customizer Program. Note that FloatShoes does not let you float above broken panels. (Strange how ShadowSoul only has FloatShoes whilst GyroSoul has OmniShoes...)

Generating Grass Panels is difficult otherwise.] ~ Soul Ability: - #3: Natural Absorption - Gradually heal HP when standing on Grass Panels. The heal rate is around equal to (the opposite) of HP Drain Level 1, which is only helpful when paired with Undershirt, in which case you can survive 1 Hit KOs, as you'll be reduced to 1 HP, and then rehealed and go down to 1 HP again with another hit - as used in previous MMBN titles. Power: N/A Range: N/A Accuracy: N/A Usefulness: ** (2/5) [Unfortunately, the cons outweigh the pros - Wood Element Soul on Grass Panel takes 4x damage from Heat Element, which means one well-timed chip can reduce your HP by more than 3/4s - and Undershirt can't save you either.] \)--------------------------------------(/ ) ChaosSoul Unison #11 - ChaosNumberSoul ( /)--------------------------------------(\ [CSC5] Soul Unison: ChaosNumberSoul Game Version: Team Colonel DarkChip: DarkPlus * (See [DC11]) Attribute: +/- Charged Buster: DarkPlus (See [DC11]) - Not entirely sure how this works - presumably it adds to your current chip How to Obtain: [NumberSoul] Liberate End Area 5.

Normally movement is slowed on these panels (Like Sand Panels in Rockman EXE3), but with ToadSoul movement occurs as normal, and when submerged only ripples are seen on the panel, and Rockman basically has the protection of a Mole Chip. In most circumstances, Rockman can only be hit if he attacks on a Water Panel (because you must come up from the water). If you're paralysed, you will stay above the water. IMPORTANT -- ToadSoul takes 2x damage from Elec even when underwater -- Power: N/A Range: N/A Accuracy: N/A Usefulness: **** (4/5) [It removes the negative effects of Water Panels and gives you added protection, but Elec chips are very common, meaning it is easy for it to backfire.] ~ Soul Ability: - #2: AquaBoost - Aqua Chips will receive a 2x damage boost to their base damage when you charge up the chip in ToadSoul by holding A.
