Double Soul (MMBN4)

Double Soul (ソウルユニゾン Soul Unison) is the main transformation system of Mega Man Battle Network 4, it can only be used by Good MegaMan.

How to Use

To Double Soul, the player must sacrifice the respective element chip to unite with MegaMan (the chip cannot be a Regular Chip). The transformation will last 3 turns or until it is overwritten by another Soul. MegaMan will lose the form when the Emotion Counter hits 0 and he’s in a position where the player can control him. There also are Mod Cards that will allow MegaMan to remain in a Soul permanently.

• Each Soul can only be used once per battle.
• Normally Souls cannot access DarkChips, but during ToyRobo's ShadeMan fight, the mandatory DarkSword will show up and can be used. It can also used to Double Soul into Proto Soul and be charged up.

Trivia

• Since MegaMan will only lose Double Soul once he regains control, if MegaMan is continuously paralyzed or stunned the turn he’s supposed to lose the form, he will carry the form to the next turn. All Custom Screen abilities will also remain.
• Since the Double Soul Mod Cards do not reset MegaMan’s Karma, he will be able to use Evil Chips in Double Soul forms.
