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 Chip Icon 6 Standard 189.png 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 Chip Icon 6 Standard 026.png BblStar1 series is a very strong combo enabler for Elec Cross. It applies the Bubbled status which allows Element 6 Elec.png Elec attacks to deal x2 damage. Chip Icon 6 Standard 124.png ElecDrgn and Chip Icon 6 Standard 030.png DolThdr1 series are very common combos as they share codes with Bubble Star. The +50 increase to damage can allow chips such as Chip Icon 6 Standard 124.png ElecDrgn to remove Chip Icon 6 Standard 184.png 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 Element 6 Wood.png Wood attacks. For example chips such as the Chip Icon 6 Standard 119.png Boomer series can be avoided by staying in the middle row.

Counter Play

Element 6 Wood.png Wood attacks such as Chip Icon 6 Standard 126.png WoodDrgn are very difficult to avoid without any form of Defense such as Chip Icon 6 Standard 189.png AntiDmg.

Going into Elec Cross without a way of clearing Chip Icon 6 Standard 184.png 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 Element 6 Wood.png 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 Element 6 Wood.png 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.

Big Thunder applies a 120 frame paralysis effect on hit.

Notes

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 Chip Icon 6 Standard 189.png AntiDmg and deal damage if the enemy walks into another panel.

Big Thunder can be used to apply paralysis and then followed up with Chip Icon 6 Giga 004 Gregar.png ColForce while the opponent is paralyzed.

Counter Play

The lingering Beast Charge also leaves MegaMan open to Element 6 Wood.png Wood element attacks. The Beast Charge can also be completely avoided if the enemy uses an Chip Icon 6 Standard 165.png 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.
