This page only includes a brief description of each bug and what can cause it. Make sure to check the individual pages for more detailed information, such as common strategies and methods to counterplay it!

Bugs afflict the player's Navi and generally cause negative effects. When the player's Navi is affected by a bug, their emotion window will flicker. Bugged NaviCust parts usually retain their function, but cause extra effects on the player. All bugs can be fixed by using the BugFix chip. The only exception to both of those cases is the Deactivated Bug.

The NaviCust part BugStop will prevent any bug caused by the NaviCust from occuring, as long as it is on the Command Line.

Bugs can be caused in the following ways:

A NaviCust part is placed in a way such that it does not follow NaviCust part placement rules.
A Patch Card with negative effects is installed (Japanese version only).
The Navi is hit by an attack that causes a bug. Examples include, (e.g. MoonBld, ElcPuls3, BugBomb and DestPuls)
