Competitive Overview

Thunderbolt is a strong all rounder Charge Shot with a fast charging time and great range.

If a panel of Thunderbolt hits the enemy or an Object, that panel will lose its damage and cannot hit again. However, all other panels remains active until the end of the attack, this means that you can remove Defense such as AntiDmg and deal damage if the opponent walks into another panel.

Thunderbolt has a short active Charge Shot time which allows MegaMan to get out of potential attacks more easily.

The BblStar1 series is a very strong combo enabler for Elec Cross. It applies the Bubbled status which allows Elec attacks to deal x2 damage. ElecDrgn and DolThdr1 series are very common combos as they share codes with Bubble Star. The +50 increase to damage can allow chips such as ElecDrgn to remove LifeAur.

The Bubbled status lasts long enough to allow you to fully charge and land a Charge Shot. The main exception is using the series Directly in front of the enemy.

It is key to identify what Code your opponent is using to allow you to effectively avoid any potential Wood attacks. For example chips such as the Boomer series can be avoided by staying in the middle row.

Counter Play

Wood attacks such as WoodDrgn are very difficult to avoid without any form of Defense such as AntiDmg.

Going into Elec Cross without a way of clearing LifeAur can be risky as Elec Beast is unable to break it either. This could mean having to change into a different Cross and then going into Beast Out.

Tomahawk Cross can Chip Charge Wood attacks casuing them to deal x2 damage. An opponent in Tomahawk Cross that is not using any attacks or buster shots might be Chip Charging a Wood chip. However, it is important to note that a careful opponent will not make this obvious and might use a chip in an unexpected timing.

Elec Beast gains:

• SuprArmr and the Gregar 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.

MegaMan is equipped with ElecBody, and is weak to Wood attacks.

While in Elec Beast:

• Non-screen dimming Elec chips gain +50 to damage.

• File:Element 6 Null.png Null chips can be Beast Charged to execute Big Thunder dealing paralyzing Elec damage as well as cracking hit panels.

Big Thunder generates an Elec breath one panel ahead followed by a 2x3 area. it cracks panels on the first frame the attack hits that panel.

Big Thunder applies a 120 frame paralysis effect on hit.

Notes

• Big Thunder cracks panels before dealing damage. This means that an opponent standing on a HolyPanl will take full damage.

• Elec Beast loses the abilitiy to Chip Charge File:Element 6 Null.png Null chips to apply paralysis to them except with the use of the Elec Pill glitch

• Big Thunder is the only Gregar Beast Chip Charge that cannot break LifeAur at Attack 5.

• Cracked panels will break if hit by Big Thunder.

Competitive Overview

Elec Beast can be a very powerful tool in locking down opponents without AirShoes. If a panel of Big Thunder hits the enemy or an Object, that panel will lose its damage and cannot hit again. However, all other panels remains active until the end of the attack, this means that the user can remove Defense such as AntiDmg and deal damage if the enemy walks into another panel.

Big Thunder can be used to apply paralysis and then followed up with ColForce while the opponent is paralyzed.

Counter Play

The lingering Beast Charge also leaves MegaMan open to Wood element attacks. The Beast Charge can also be completely avoided if the enemy uses an AreaGrab and steps back.

Attempting to cover the maximum attack range in neutral area will leave MegaMan at risk of being hit by the series without a chance to avoid it.

If Big Thunder is interrupted after the start up animation starts, the player will lose the chip used to chip charge it without the attack activating.
