Mega Man Battle Network 6: Cybeast Gregar

Game Details:

"Mega Man Battle Network 6: Cybeast Gregar" (Japanese name: "Rockman EXE 6: Cyber Beast Gregar") is one of the final entries in the Mega Man Battle Network series, released by Capcom on the Game Boy Advance in 2005. It stands as a version counterpart to "Cybeast Falzar."

The game follows Lan Hikari's adventures after he and his father move to the new city of "Central Town." One day, the mysterious organization "WWW Remnants" releases the uncontrollable cyber beast "Gregar," forcing Mega Man to fuse with part of its power. Players must use the "Cross System" and the new "Beast Out" mode to combat the crisis. The battle system is refined and upgraded from EXE 5, eliminating random style changes and replacing them with a Cross system that can be switched at any time, improving practicality and controllability.

Each Cross form (such as TenguCross, TomahawkCross) comes with attribute skill bonuses. Beast Out transforms Mega Man into the Gregar form, granting him significant enhancements and unique skills, changing the tide of battle within a limited number of turns. The game also introduces a monster "challenge tower" system, a network battle simulation mode, and hidden boss challenges (such as Bass BX), enriching the game's depth and replay value.

Editor's Recommendation:

As the closing chapter of the Mega Man Battle Network series, "Cybeast Gregar" almost reaches the peak of the series in terms of system and plot. The game boldly eliminates the more complex style system of previous works, and instead adopts more strategic Cross and Beast fusion, allowing players to flexibly switch forms according to the battle situation, greatly enhancing the freedom of combat and the refreshing feeling of operation.

The Gregar version's exclusive Cross forms focus more on power and burst, such as TomahawkCross with high damage and penetration, while Beast Out can be described as a "berserk form", suppressing all enemies in a short period of time. In terms of plot, the bond between Lan and Mega Man reaches a climax, with both passion and emotion. Whether you are an old EXE player or new to this network battle world, you can find your own battle rhythm and touching moments in this work.

Game Guide:

In EXE 6, the core of the battle revolves around the "Cross Fusion System" and "Beast Out" mechanism. Using these transformation forms reasonably is the key to victory. Here is a detailed explanation of the system and practical suggestions:

I. Introduction to the Cross Fusion System:

Players can obtain Cross forms by completing specific Navi tasks. There are 6 types (Gregar version exclusives such as TomahawkCross, TenguCross, etc.).

• **TenguCross:** Wind attribute, immune to wind traps, normal attack is "Flying Blade", high mobility suitable for long-range harassment.
• **TomahawkCross:** Wood attribute, attacks have a stun effect, powerful in close combat, suitable for suppressing high-HP bosses.
• **Usage Tips:** Cross fusion does not consume energy and can be switched unlimited times, suitable for flexibly responding to different enemy attributes and tactics.

II. Analysis of the Beast Out System:

Obtain the Gregar power through the story. Pressing the [Beast Out] button in battle can transform into "Beast Mega Man" with the following characteristics:

• Attack power +30, all B-button normal attacks are high-speed multi-segment tracking bullets
• Each transformation lasts a maximum of 3 turns, up to 2 times per battle
• If Beast Out is forcibly interrupted, it will enter the "Beast Over" berserk state (uncontrollable high damage, but dangerous)

III. Practical Tactical Recommendations:

• **Cross+Beast Linkage:** Beast Out in Cross state can trigger an exclusive "Beast Cross" form, such as Tomahawk Beast, which can release a range AOE skill, suitable for clearing monsters.
• Chip Recommended Combinations:
• Strikes: Meteor Knuckle, MachineGun series
• Control: AreaGrab, HolyPanel
• Combo: Release a big move in conjunction with Beast bullets (Recommended: WideBlade+Charge Shot)

IV. Brief Guide to Hidden Boss Challenge (Bass BX):

• Appearance Condition: Clear the main storyline and complete the hidden key mission
• Characteristics: Flash, long invincibility time, fast attack rhythm
• Countermeasures: Use FastGauge+Invisible to maintain reaction time, it is recommended to use TenguCross to quickly move to evade, or TomahawkCross to confront its shield head-on.

Flexibly master the core of the system, and you can be at ease even when facing strong enemies. EXE 6 tests both tactics and reaction, and is the most competitive work in the series.
