Style Change (スタイルチェンジ) is the main transformation system of Mega Man Battle Network 3. MegaMan will receive his first Style Change in Chapter 3, in a virus battle against a group of HeelNavis.

How to Obtain

During battle, depending on actions you perform, a number of Action Points will go towards the different Styles. The Style that has the most accumulated Action Points at the end of a battle will gain 1 Style Point.

If multiple Styles had the same highest value, all those Styles gain 1 Style Point. If all Styles got 0 Action Points, then all Styles gain 1 Style Point. There is no cap to the amount of Style Points that can be accumulated.

If you are currently in a Style, the Style Points for that Style is forced to 0. However, if you are selected to go to another Style, then the point going towards the current Style will instead give +1 Style Point to all Styles.

During the next Style Change opportunity, MegaMan will transform into the Style that accumulated the most Style Points. However, if the Style Point count comes to a tie, a Random Style Change will occur.

  • Ground Style can only be reached in White version.
  • Shadow Style can only be reached in Blue version.

The element MegaMan gets with the Style is random. It takes 100 battles with a reward screen to receive a new Style Change. MegaMan cannot receive a Style type that is the same as the one he has currently equipped.

Changes from Battle Network 2

  • You can only store 1 Style at a time instead of 2.
  • Getting a new Style requires 100 battles instead of 280.
  • A number of chip action requirements for the Styles now require using the chip instead of just sending it to MegaMan.
  • Normal Style’s B Button PowerAttack is now a x10 multiplier instead of x5.
  • Elemental B Button PowerAttacks have their attack power changed.
  • All Styles have toned down initial abilities in order to develop the more sophisticated Navi Customizer abilities later.
    • Guts Style does not initially start with Super Armor.
    • Custom Style initially gives 1 more slot instead of 2.
    • Team Style increases MegaChip count instead of Navi Chips and initially gives 1 more slot instead of 3.
    • Shield Style does not initially start with Shield.
  • Guts Style's buster Speed stat is no longer limited to 1.
  • Aqua Styles will no longer slip on Ice panels.
  • Styles cannot be traded. Navi Customizer Programs obtained from Styles can be traded, though.

Elements

There are 4 possible elements for a Style to have. The Style's element determines MegaMan's new B Button PowerAttack. The PowerAttack's attack power is not affected by MegaMan's buster stats, but rather by running WeaponLevel Navi Customizer Parts (up to Level 3). There are also 2 Mega Chips that MegaMan can use if he's a specific element.

Style Types

There are 6 different types for a Style to have. Each Style can run Navi Customizer Parts of 1 certain color without encountering errors.

After completing a certain amount of battles with a Style, it will level up. When a Style levels up, MegaMan will be rewarded with a Navi Customizer Part. At that moment, MegaMan can either keep leveling up the style or search for a new Style. If a Style is maxed out, MegaMan will automatically search for a new style.
