Now that there's no more ranked pvp mode, are there charas/weps that are better/worse?

[Chaos 混沌 カオス]

Any tier list out?

Oh by the way, is that character's name actually Via "square"? That square looks like a character that couldn't be recognized by my PC lol.

Does "power level" matter for hard mode? Are are there those hidden purple balls in hard mode like there was in online?

Power level doesn't matter in challenge mode. Also no hidden elements too. Only matter is effect buff dmg, reduce dmg taken from outside. Like Original Megaman game.

You make good combo set card, chip and type of characters, good game skill or else boss still can take you down, like in chap 23

The grinding is still tough. What's the max level? I got to 132 in online.

Level 200 which is around the 20+ hours mark.

Are the best weps/charas the DiVE ones? That's what the gamestore is trying to imply.

S class hunter Zero is a great character to max out and use for challenge. He has mobility buffs, two separate heals (one for a kill every few seconds and another on second skill cast), and both skills hit for hard damage. You get this character as a zero star version early on in the game, but if I remember correctly, you must do some story to unlock it on the shop so you can get more fragments to max the star rank.

Pair him with melee weapons and melee focused cards for the greatest effect.

As for level grinding, it's not too fast but also not as slow. I got to level 141 in a couple of game sessions.

just use what you feel you'll do fine.

My take is that characters with healing are more desirable now, the ones that heal without the need to kill (like S class Zero, Easter Roll for example) would be top ranking.

I also would evaluate their ability to collect hidden elements, some characters are strong but have zero mobility.

I'd say characters with mobility, shields, and healing are really good. being able to melt bosses is great too, like ferham can, she's got shields, healing and heavy damage attacks... just not so much mobilty.

kinda sad how B and A rank characters are absolutley pointless in this version. they should have put S ranks all behind a level cap, so you could play around with the lower rank characters first.

I disagree. I actually think givng you charas like S rank X and Zero early was the right call. There's no point in forcing people to play with completely outclassed characters.

the point would be how games normally progress? you start with low ranks and work your way up.

you work with what you have an unlock better characters later. I mean, you don't start with ultimate armor in the X games. you don't get Zero's saber in X3 right off the bat. most games force you to use what later is outclassed completely, especially in the mega man series.

now you have a bunch of A and B rank characters and weapons that serve no purpose besides giving you more gallery XP. there's no incentive to use them besides purposefully handicapping yourself. it's fine to try to challenge yourself, but that's really their only purpose now.

and you're already forced to play as X first and foremost. they could at least let you pick a starting character from the B ranks or something.
