Illegal Data in Mega Man Star Force 3 are special rewards which can be obtained from battle in place of the normal rewards.

System

A Noise Level Gauge is required, so a Noise Control Program (AcePrgrm/JokrPrgm) Ability Wave needs to be equipped. When you finish a battle with high Noise, 100% or higher, and without ZennyFinder and CardFinder W.E. Data on, you will receive Illegal Data instead of a regular battle drop. If the battle is finished with Busting LV. S, then up to 3 cards can be received, based on the Noise Level % at the end of the battle.

Noise Level % Busting Level Result
100%-199% Any 1 Illegal Data reward
200%-299% LV. S 2 Illegal Data rewards
300+% LV. S 3 Illegal Data rewards

Using a number of factors, the game will calculate an Illegal Data Level for that battle. Based on the Illegal Data Level, a reward pool will be chosen from which all Illegal Data rewards will be drawn.

Starting Levels

The game first calculates your base Illegal Data Level by checking the Battle Level of the battle you just finished. This is a hidden value set for each random encounter individually, that also affects how many HP you need in order to escape successfully.

Increasing the Level

There is a hidden counter that increases whenever you finish a battle (with a reward screen) at low Noise. If you finish a battle with 50-99% Noise, the counter increases by 1; if you finish with 0-49% Noise, the counter increases by 2.

The counter begins counting when you first receive a Noise Control Program during the story, and it caps out at 120. If you unequip the Program, then the Noise % will not change during battle, but the hidden battle counter will still increase. Note that, normally when you finish a fight with 100% or higher Noise, in the next fight you will start at 50% Noise rather than 0% Noise. If you unequip the Noise Control Program after a fight with 100% or higher Noise, then immediately go into another battle without pulsing out, the Noise % will still be at 50% even though it is not visible, so the hidden counter will go up by 1 rather than 2 for that one fight.

Depending on the value of the counter when you finish a battle with high Noise, you will get a bonus to your Illegal Data Level (caps out at 8).

Value Bonus
0-9 No bonus
10-19 100%: Lv+1
20-29 30%: Lv+1
70%: Lv+2
30-39 20%: Lv+1
35%: Lv+2
45%: Lv+3
40+ 10%: Lv+1
20%: Lv+2
30%: Lv+3
40%: Lv+4

Following this, the counter will be decreased by 10 times the number of bonus levels you got. For example, if the counter was at 35 and you get Level +2, then it will now be at 15. In other words, you can gain better rewards by first fighting many battles at low Noise %, and then fighting a few difficult battles at high Noise %.

Illegal Data Drops

For each Illegal Data Level, there are 2-3 reward pools defined which can be chosen for a battle. In the tables below all reward pools associated with an Illegal Data Level have been consolidated into a single list. The chances of certain cards to drop will differ between versions.
