Battles take place on a 3x6 grid in real time, with movement, buster shots, and Battle Chips used in quick tactical bursts. Story progression alternates between the real world, where you gather clues and solve field puzzles, and the internet, where you explore networks, unlock areas, and fight viruses. Chip codes shape your deck and combo potential, while Blue Version includes exclusive chips and zones. The Navi Customizer lets you install programs to enhance MegaMan.EXE, but shapes and compatibility rules must be respected.
MegaMan.EXE
Lan's NetNavi and the main combat partner in cyberspace.
Lan Hikari
The human protagonist who operates MegaMan.EXE through his PET.
Baryl
An important Blue Version character tied to key story progression.
Build a chip folder with reliable offense, defense, and utility so you always have options in battle. Against fast enemies, bring wide-range and immobilizing chips to prevent being cornered. With the Navi Customizer, avoid stacking powerful programs recklessly; first make sure their shapes do not conflict, then improve attack, mobility, and charge performance. In the network, check hidden routes and optional areas, since Blue Version content is often tied to specific locations and tasks.
