In competitive play, the fast charging allows for a threatning [[Buster|Charge Shot]] especially on grass. For Gregar builds without {{NaviCust part|6|Air Shoes}}, Heat Cross can provide an effective way of dealing consistent fire damage without the need to worry about broken panels. The very fast [[Buster|Charge Shot]] startup time and long attack lingering time mean that it can be very easy to get hit by it.
If a panel of Heat Arm hits the opponent 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|6|Anti Damage}} and deal damage if the opponent walks into another panel.

Unfortunately a large number of [[File:Element 6 Aqua.png|link=]] [[Element|Aqua element]] attacks can land easily on a stationary opponent, so the lingering [[Buster|Charge Shot]] time can leave you vulnerable to the opponent's attacks. The [[Buster|Charge Shot]] travelling 3 panels ahead can allow the opponent to completely avoid it by using {{Chip|6|Area Grab}} and stepping back.
In [[Area|neutral area]] your opponent can attempt to confirm {{Chip|6|ElementMan}} Ice by stepping back and waiting for your [[Buster|Charge Shot]] to be released, and then stepping forward to be in range.

Heat Cross

Heat Cross is the first Cross linked in Gregar using the power of HeatMan. As a Element 6 Fire.png Fire element Cross, Heat Cross utilizes the power of Heat arm to deal massive damage. Heat Cross adds +50 damage to any real time Fire chip without the need to charge them.


While in Heat Cross:

  • MegaMan is equipped with FireBody which is weak to Element 6 Aqua.png Aqua attacks.
  • Non-screen dimming Element 6 Fire.png Fire chips gain +50 damage.
  • MegaMan's Attack value increases by 1

Fire Arm: Attacks 3 panels ahead, creating a lingering attack that lasts for 67 frames, dealing Fire element, Flashing and Flinching damage.

Fire Arm will remove Element 6 Wood.png Wood Panel on the first frame the attack hits that panel. An opponent stepping into the attack afterwards will take normal damage.

Attack Formula (20 × Attack level + 30)
Attack Level 1 2 3 4 5
Damage 50 70 90 110 130

Notes

  • The Attack Stat increase gained by Heat Cross does not apply to his Charge Shot past level 5.
  • However, this can increase MegaMan's Buster Shot past level 5.
  • This increase does not apply to Buster Bug


Frame Data

  • The Charge Shot has a 1 frame windup for the first panel, 5 frames for the second and 9 for the third.
  • The Charge Shot lasts for 67 frames in total and it disappears from the field on frame 61 for the first panel, frame 62 for the second, and frame 63 for the third.

Competitive Overview

The fast charging allows for a threatning Charge Shot especially on grass. For Gregar builds without AirShoes, Heat Cross can provide an effective way of dealing consistent fire damage to an enemy standing behind broken panels. The very fast Charge Shot startup time and long attack lingering time mean that it can be very easy for the enemy to get hit by it.

If a panel of Heat Arm 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.

Going into Heat Cross can provide for a good Beast out option next turn if you find yourself without a way to remove Chip Icon 6 Standard 184.png LifeAur. The +50 increase to damage can allow chips such as Chip Icon 6 Standard 107.png FireHit3 to remove Chip Icon 6 Standard 184.png LifeAur.

CounterPlay

Unfortunately a large number of Element 6 Aqua.png Aqua element attacks can land easily on a stationary user, so the lingering Charge Shot time can leave MegaMan vulnerable to the opponent's attacks. The Charge Shot travelling 3 panels ahead can allow the opponent to completely avoid it by using Chip Icon 6 Standard 165.png AreaGrab and stepping back.

In neutral area the opponent can attempt to confirm Chip Icon 6 Mega 034.png ElmntMan Ice by stepping back and waiting for the user's Charge Shot to be released, and then stepping forward to be in range.

Competitive Overview

Heat Beast can provide for a very effective threat to Tomahawk Cross to allow the paralysis effect of Chip Icon 6 Giga 004 Gregar.png ColForce to land. Great Fire covers a large area which makes it a reliable way for removing Chip Icon 6 Standard 184.png LifeAur. If a panel of Great Fire 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. The +1 Attack stat gained by heat beast can allow builds with 4 Attack to reach the 200 damage threshhold to break Chip Icon 6 Standard 184.png LifeAur.

Counter Play

Unfortunately similar to Heat Cross, the lingering Beast Charge also leaves MegaMan open to Element 6 Aqua.png Aqua 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.

In neutral area attempting to cover the maximum attack area will leave MegaMan at risk of being hit by Chip Icon 6 Mega 034.png ElmntMan Ice and getting decrossed.

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