Competitive Overview

Ground Cross has a unique role through being the only Falzar cross that provides Template:Navi Cust. This is commonly used to prevent flinching for Chip Icon 6 Giga 005 Falzar.png BgDthThd builds after being uninstalled.

When used at the right time, Ground Cross can also be used to avoid the opponent's Chip Icon 6 Giga 005 Falzar.png 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.

Element 6 Cursor.png Cursor element chips are very popular and are difficult to avoid.Element 6 Cursor.png 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.

Chip Icon 6 Mega 016 Gregar.png EraseMan is a very common threat to Ground Cross. It has a great range and is only blocked by barriers or an Chip Icon 6 Standard 188.png AntiNavi as it pierces Chip Icon 6 Standard 179.png Invisibl.

Chip Icon 6 Standard 055.png 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 is weak to Element 6 Cursor.png Cursor attacks.

While in Ground Beast:

  • Charging Non-screen dimming Element 6 Break.png Break chips causes 3 random rocks to fall on the enemy area. This takes 60 frames to complete.

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.

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 Template:NaviCust Part as well as Template:NaviCust Part and Template:NaviCust Part. Similar to Ground Cross, this can be used for Chip Icon 6 Giga 005 Falzar.png 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 Element 6 Cursor.png Cursor element chips.
