Competitive Overview

Ground Cross has a unique role through being the only Falzar cross that provides SuprArmr. This is commonly used to prevent flinching for BgDthThd builds after being uninstalled.

When used at the right time, Ground Cross can also be used to avoid the opponent's BgDthThd by forcing it to move outside of the field. This is done by releasing the Charge Shot while Bug Death Thunder is in the backmost column.

Ground Cross can also be used to deal massive damage if the opponent is unable to move out of range. It is surprisengly easy for an unprepared opponent to accidently walk into a Charge Shot.

CounterPlay

Drill Drive has a long starting up time which makes it very predictable. This leaves the user vulnerable to a Counter Hit or getting decrossed. It also means that without a way to confirm the attack landing, it can be very difficult to do consistent damage.

Unfortunetly Ground Cross shares a weakness with Dust Cross. This means that many of the threats often used to Decross Dust Cross can be used to remove Ground Cross as well. This makes Ground Cross a risky play without the appropriate defense.

Cursor element chips are very popular and are difficult to avoid. Cursor chips are able to destroy Traps because of their element. This limits the defense options and makes it more difficult to avoid getting decrossed.

EraseMan is a very common threat to Ground Cross. It has a great range and is only blocked by barriers or an AntiNavi as it pierces Invisibl.

MachGun1 series is another very common threat to Ground Cross. It starts at the bottom row, making it very difficult to avoid for a player standing there.

Ground Beast gains:

• FlotShoe, AirShoes, and the Falzar Beast Buster
• +30 Attack to Non-screen dimming File:Element 6 Null.png Null chips.
• MegaMan will attempt to line up Non-screen dimming chips with a Beast Jump.

Ground Beast is weak to Cursor attacks.

While in Ground Beast:

• Non-screen dimming Break chips gain +10 damage.

• MegaMan's gains the Template:Navi Cust Navi Cust part.

• Charging Non-screen dimming Break chips causes 3 random rocks to fall on the enemy area. This takes 60 frames to complete. The rocks deal Break damage and do not apply Flashing. Their damage is calculated as (20 × Attack level + 30) for a maximum of 130 with 5 Attack.

• File:Element 6 Null.png Null chips can be Beast Charged to execute Drill Dive dealing Break damage, and providing the Invulnerable Status.

Drill Drive sends MegaMan flying forward in a charge with a drill ahead of him, hitting each enemy in the row 2 times. Both hits deal Flinching Damage. In PvP there is a 3rd hit which deals 0 damage and causes Flashing

Notes

• The flashing caused by Drill Drive is caused by the player's normal body hitbox. This means that if it lands while the ground player is flashing it does not cause flashing to the opponent.

• If Drill Drive breaks a barrier with the second hit, it will still have an opportunity to inflict flashing with the third hit, despite not dealing any damage in this scenario.

• It's possible for Drill Drive to hit more than 2 times.

Attack Formula (20 × Attack level + 90)
Attack Level	1	2	3	4	5
Damage	110	130	150	170	190
Total Damage	220	260	300	340	380

Competitive Overview

Ground Beast can be a very strong offensive as well as a defensive option. Drill Drive has high damage potential if both hits land but can also be used to avoid attacks from the opponent. It has a fast Charge time and a low Start up time which could make it an unexpected attack by the opponent.

Ground Beast is also used to gain SuprArmr as well as AirShoes and FlotShoe. Similar to Ground Cross, this can be used for BgDthThd and to allow the player to navigate around broken panels.

Counter Play

Most of the damage from Drill Drive can be avoided if the enemy is expecting it and moves out on time. Missing an attack could leave the player vulnerable as the opponent can expect where they will return to after the attack ending.

Ground Beast shares the same threats as Ground Cross, and can be decrossed easily by Cursor element chips.
