Unlike Soul Unisons, your points are retained across battles. (You can delay turns, however, by just not opening your Custom Screen.) When you run out of points, MegaMan will revert. Like the Soul Unisons of previous games, each round that you use Beast Out mode will consume 1 point from the total points displayed by MegaMan’s face portrait (known as his emotion window) during battle. If you are hit with an attack that your Cross Change is weak against, you take double damage and lose the form, so be careful to select your Cross wisely.īeast mode is similar to a Soul Unison in that it gives you specific abilities and changes your charged shots. You can only use each Cross once per battle. If you pick a Cross and change your mind before you close the Custom Screen, you can cancel it by pressing B (you might have to press it a few times if you need to back out of choosing Battle Chips as well). To activate a Cross, just press Up (on the control pad) while on the Custom Screen until you see the list of Link Navis, and choose one.

You do not have to “sacrifice” chips to activate the mode and there is no counter that limits how many rounds you can stay in Cross mode. The main difference here is that you can activate a Cross Change at any time that you choose, and you can stay in Cross mode as long as you like (unless you get knocked out of it see below). This is the new system that replaces Soul Unisons. You cannot tag your Regular Chip, and you cannot tag chips that go over a certain MB limit. It’ll appear the next round, though, if you use some chips to allow it to “scroll” on.) However, if the first chip ends up in the rightmost slot in your Custom Screen window, the second one will be in the slot to the right, which is off the window therefore, you can’t see it or select it. Basically, when your first chip is chosen in the random draw, the second chip is always placed to the right of it. (* There is a bug with the Tag Chip system which can prevent you from getting both chips at once. This way, if you need, say, a Fan in order to take advantage of a powerful sword attack, you can pair them together so that you always get one when you get the other.

Unlike Regular Chips, tagged chips are still subject to the random draw however, when one of them comes up on your Custom Screen during battle, you are guaranteed* to get the other one as well.

Once you pass a certain point in the plot, you are allowed to set up two “Tag Chips” on your Folder Edit screen.
