The '''Elec Pulse chip series''' are real time {{Element|6|Elec}} chips that create a lingering hitbox with a range of one panel in front of the user, followed by 3 wide 1 long area. They all deal [[Statuses (BN6)#Flinching|Flinching]], and [[Invis-Piercing]] damage. Each version adds an additional effect when they land.

'''Elec Pulse''' can only deal damage once meaning enemies cannot be damaged again by the attack when entering another panel. Hitting an [[Object_(BN6)|Object]] removes the hitbox, allowing the opponent to step into it without taking damage. If an Object and enemy are hit at the same time, they both take damage.

==Competitve Overview==
==Competitve Overview==
Elec Pulse chips are often used with [[Beast Out]]. This allows them to take full advantage of the auto targetting ability. All Elec Pulse chips share the same low Start Up time, which allows them to be used to land a [[CounterHit]] to disrupt the opponent's plans. The chip series is also fairly strong when used in [[Elec_Cross|Elec Cross]], which grants non-dimming {{Element|6|Elec}} chips +50 damage. When used in combination with the [[Bubble_Star_chip_series_(BN6)|Bubble Star chip series]], this allows doubling of the damage because of the [[Statuses_(BN6)#Bubbled|Bubbled]] status.

The [[Statuses (BN6)#Drag|Drag]] from Elec Pulse 2 can also increase the [[Bugs_(BN6)#Battle_HP_Bug|Battle HP Bug]] of the opponent if they also have [[Bugs_(BN6)#Damage_HP_Bug|Damage HP Bug]].


Elec Pulse 1 and 3 often only see play to form {{Chip|6|Destroy Pulse}} Program Advance. Elec Pulse 1, like Elec Pulse 2, can remove [[Statuses_(BN6)#Flashing|Flashing]], however it doesn't deal as much damage and the extended Recovery frames makes it more difficult to take advantage of the paralyzing effect it provides. Elec Pulse 3 has the highest damage out of the three, but puts the enemy into the [[Statuses_(BN6)#Flashing|Flashing]] state making it more difficult for chaining attacks. Elec Pulse 1 and Elec Pulse 3 can be used to extend the duration of {{Chip|6|Anti Damage}} due to their long attack animation and Recovery frames.

Elec Pulse 1 and Elec Pulse 3 can be used to extend the duration of {{Chip|6|Anti Damage}} due to their long attack animation and Recovery frames.
Elec Pulse 2 sees the most competetive play, due to having very short Recovery frames. It is often seen in fast paced folders with {{Chip|6|Fast Gauge}}, in which Elec Pulse 2 acts as the attack opener piercing and removing [[Statuses_(BN6)#Flashing|Flashing]] and applying [[Statuses (BN6)#Drag|Drag]]. This makes it a good confirm option for chips such as {{Chip|6|Wind Racket}} and other damaging chips. The short {{Chip|6|Fast Gauge}} turns, in combination with [[Beast Out]] allows the player to have a difficult to avoid damage burst. If done correctly, once the first hit connects, the Status effects applied prevent the opponent from using defensive chips. The [[Statuses (BN6)#Drag|Drag]] it applies can also increase the [[Bugs_(BN6)#Battle_HP_Bug|Battle HP Bug]] of the opponent if they also have [[Bugs_(BN6)#Damage_HP_Bug|Damage HP Bug]]. The ability to remove the Flashing state is also more valuable in {{Chip|6|Fast Gauge}} turns, as it lasts a larger proportion of the battle.


The Program Advance {{Chip|6|Destroy Pulse}} is often used in [[List_of_chips_by_code_(BN6)#J|J-Code]] Elec Pulse themed folders. Elec Pulse 2 and {{Chip|6|Wind Racket}} can often be used to help confirm the landing of {{Chip|6|Destroy Pulse}}. Being in J-Code alongside other strong chips such as {{Chip|6|Hub Batch}}, {{Chip|6|Recovery 300}} and {{Chip|6|Justice One}} makes it worth considering.

The Elec Pulse chip series are real time Element 6 Elec.png Elec chips that create a lingering hitbox with a range of one panel in front of the user, followed by 3 wide 1 long area. They all deal Flinching, and Invis-Piercing damage. Each version adds an additional effect when they land and together they form the Chip Icon 6 Program advance 015.png DestPuls Program Advance.

  • Elec Pulse 1 deals 100 damage and Paralyzes the enemy for 90 frames.
  • Elec Pulse 2 deals 120 damage and applies a Small Pull, pulling the opponent towards the user by one panel.
  • Elec Pulse 3 deals 140 damage, applies a single Battle HP Bug and applies Flashing and is also a part of the Chip Icon 6 Program advance 027.png MstrCros Program Advance.


Elec Pulse can only deal damage once meaning enemies cannot be damaged again by the attack when entering another panel. Hitting an Object removes the hitbox, allowing the opponent to step into it without taking damage. If an Object and enemy are hit at the same time, they both take damage.

Beast Jump Logic

Elec Pulse will always attempt to hit in the middle of the 3 wide 1 long attack range.

Frame Data

All versions of ElecPuls share the following frame data:

  • Have a 2 frame startup
  • The attack lasts for 60 frames
  • Using ElecPulse while in Beast Out adds a delay of 4 frames to the attack.

Differences:

  • MegaMan can act again at frame 15 for Chip Icon 6 Standard 034.png ElcPuls2 in the GBA version due to it having no end lag. This is not the case for Chip Icon 6 Standard 033.png ElcPuls1 and Chip Icon 6 Standard 035.png ElcPuls3, where MegaMan must stay still for the entire duration of the attack.

Version Difference

In Battle Network Legacy Collection, Elec Pulse 2 has been changed to extend the Recovery frames for the duration of the attack, akin to Elec Pulse 1 and Elec Pulse 3.

Unique Interactions

  • As with all Drag applying attacks, if Elec Pulse 2 hits the opponent while they are Invisible, the applied Drag will extend the Invisible state until after the Drag ends. This can result in chips with short StartUp frames like Chip Icon 6 Standard 076.png AquaSwrd to miss if chained directly after Elec Pulse 2.
  • The drag's delay of applying status effects can cause a Mini Collision Glitch, in which the enemy can receive more than the usual 10 damage from player collision.

Competitve Overview

Elec Pulse chips are often used with Beast Out. This allows them to take full advantage of the auto targetting ability. All Elec Pulse chips share the same low Start Up time, which allows them to be used to land a CounterHit to disrupt the opponent's plans. The chip series is also fairly strong when used in Elec Cross, which grants non-dimming Element 6 Elec.png Elec chips +50 damage. When used in combination with the Bubble Star chip series, this allows doubling of the damage because of the Bubbled status. The Drag from Elec Pulse 2 can also increase the Battle HP Bug of the opponent if they also have Damage HP Bug.

Elec Pulse 1 and 3 often only see play to form Chip Icon 6 Program advance 015.png DestPuls Program Advance. Elec Pulse 1, like Elec Pulse 2, can remove Flashing, however it doesn't deal as much damage and the extended Recovery frames makes it more difficult to take advantage of the paralyzing effect it provides. Elec Pulse 3 has the highest damage out of the three, but puts the enemy into the Flashing state making it more difficult for chaining attacks. Elec Pulse 1 and Elec Pulse 3 can be used to extend the duration of Chip Icon 6 Standard 189.png AntiDmg due to their long attack animation and Recovery frames.

The Program Advance Chip Icon 6 Program advance 015.png DestPuls is often used in J-Code Elec Pulse themed folders. Elec Pulse 2 and Chip Icon 6 Standard 079.png WindRack can often be used to help confirm the landing of Chip Icon 6 Program advance 015.png DestPuls. Being in J-Code alongside other strong chips such as Chip Icon 6 Giga 004 Falzar.png HubBatc, Chip Icon 6 Standard 163.png Recov300 and Chip Icon 6 Standard 130.png JustcOne makes it worth considering.

If the opponent has an Chip Icon 6 Standard 189.png AntiDmg active, it is possible to use Elec Pulse 2, followed immedietly by Chip Icon 6 Program advance 015.png DestPuls. This allows the Elec Pulse 2 to activate the Chip Icon 6 Standard 189.png AntiDmg, and creates a lingering hitbox for Chip Icon 6 Program advance 015.png DestPuls, for which the opponent will be forced to land into after the Chip Icon 6 Standard 189.png AntiDmg animation ends. This can act as a reliable method to confirm Chip Icon 6 Program advance 015.png DestPuls.

In A-Code Elec Pulse 2 can be chained into Chip Icon 6 Standard 076.png AquaSwrd or Chip Icon 6 Standard 124.png ElecDrgn. In E-Code it can be used with Chip Icon 6 Standard 077.png ElecSwrd, Chip Icon 6 Standard 037.png CornSht2 and Chip Icon 6 Standard 021.png FireBrn3. E-Code has extra damage potential in Gregar version, as Chip Icon 6 Standard 021.png FireBrn3 can reaceive +50 damage boost by Heat Cross which can potentially result in 400 damage on Grass. It also becomes a viable tool to break Chip Icon 6 Standard 184.png LifeAur if needed.

Synergies

Elec Pulse 2 sees the most competetive play, due to having very short Recovery frames. It is often seen in fast paced folders with Chip Icon 6 Standard 175.png FstGauge, in which Elec Pulse 2 acts as the attack opener piercing and removing Flashing and applying Drag. This makes it a good confirm option for chips such as Chip Icon 6 Standard 079.png WindRack,Chip Icon 6 Standard 077.png ElecSwrd and other damaging chips. The short Chip Icon 6 Standard 175.png FstGauge turns, in combination with Beast Out allows the player to have a difficult to avoid damage burst. If done correctly, once the first hit connects, the Status effects applied prevent the opponent from using defensive chips.


Counter Play

Since the Elec Pulse series have a rather short attack range, if the user isn't in Beast Out, they can be easily dodged by staying in the back column on neutral area.

An opponent going into Beast Out in an Elec Pulse focused folder, often means they are prepared to take use these chips during Beast Out turns. This can also be used as a signal to expect when these attacks are going to be used. While difficult, it is possible to dodge Elec Pulse attacks by stepping backwards at the right time. This causes Beast Out's auto targetting ability to target the panel the player was on previously, thus causing it to miss. Movement Bug can be used in the same method, but it provides for more reliable dodging, as it makes it less likely for the player to be hit by an Elec Pulse attack. While stepping forwards means Elec Pulse is likely to land, it can allow the player to collide with the opponent, and gain the Flashing status. This allows the player to avoid follow-up attacks that do not pierce Invisible.

Because of the Invisible piercing nature of Elec Pulse chips, holding non-Invisible defenses for after the Elec Pulse chips have been used. Reflector Series and Shield/Reflect Navi Cust part have the unique feature of being able to block multiple successive attacks. This allows them to potenitally block the full combo or interrupting it by a Counter Hit.

It can be useful to use multiple layers of Defenses for folders that use Chip Icon 6 Program advance 015.png DestPuls. This allows the first layer to block the confirming Elec Pulse, and the second to block Chip Icon 6 Program advance 015.png DestPuls. Examples of this are Barriers and Chip Icon 6 Standard 189.png AntiDmg.

Version Differences

With the change of ElecPulse2 in the Legacy collection it loses it's ability to act as a combo opener due to the drag ending before the user can act again.
