Double Soul (MMBN5)

Here are the Double Soul forms in Mega Man Battle Network 5. The forms differ depending on the version that is being played.

Double Soul (ソウルユニゾン Soul Unison) is the main transformation system of Mega Man Battle Network 5, it can only be used by Good MegaMan. To Double Soul, the player must sacrifice the respective element chip to unite with MegaMan. The transformation will last 3 turns or until it is overwritten by another Soul. However, the Navi Customizer part SoulTime+ and some Mod Cards have the ability to increase or decrease the number of turns.

Changes from Battle Network 4

• The Souls' buster damage and charge time are now dependent on MegaMan's buster stats. But unlike normal MegaMan, the Souls' buster scaling maxes at 5 Attack.
• Search Soul now unites with Cursor element chips instead of Invisible element.
• Proto Soul no longer removes flashing from Sword chips. Sword chips now retain their flashing properties.

Chaos Unison

Battle Network 5 introduces an extension of Double Soul in Chaos Unison. To Chaos Unison, the player must sacrifice the respective DarkChip to unite with MegaMan. The transformation will only last 1 turn and cannot be extended.

They share the same abilities as the normal Souls except their Power Attacks become Dark Chips. The fully charged shot will alternate between green and purple.

• If released at purple, the Dark Chip will be used. Each successful use of the Dark Chip power will make the charge time take longer.
  • If the button is released during pausing, it will use the charge when it was paused.
• If released at green, MegaMan loses his form and Dark Soul spawns on the enemy side using your most used chips during your playtime. The Dark Soul cannot be hit and will disappear after some time.
