1. Prologue (^1)
This is my first FAQ in the year of 2004!
The P.A.s, or Program Advances, are toned down slightly from the ones
in Megaman Battle Network 3. The Program Advances are usually
composed of 3 Battle Chips selected in a preset order. For methods of
getting the Chips, please refer to other Guides.
To find the part you need help with, hit Ctrl + F to open the Find...
Window, and type in "^x" and replace the "x" with the desired number
of topic that you need help with. For example, to find ways of
composing Letter Series of P.A.s, you can type in "^2" and then look
for the desired P.A..
The Program Advances Guide will be in the following format:
Program Advance Name/U.S. Translation | Program Advance Number
Chips Required
(U.S. Translation of the Chips if the difference is too dinstinct)
Damage per Hit
Number of Hits
Description
Range of Hit (in diagram)
Here's the general legend for the Range of Hit:
M = Megaman
E = Enemies that could be hit
P = Empty Panels
Alright, here we go.
------------------------------
2. Letter Series (^2)
Letter Series: Composed of 3 Identical Chips with Chip Codes put into
series. They, unlike the Zeta Series from MMBN3, give you the ability
to use strong attacks evolved from the Chips you used, instead of
5-second invisibility and infinite use of the Chip.

4. Dark Messiah NEO P.A. (^4)
It's STILL not right for a Program Advance to hag a unique section of this
FAQ, but this P.A. is too special to be placed with along with the others,
considering it IS the only P.A. that uses Navi Chips and is apparently the
only Dark P.A. (Only usable by DS Rockman). Plus it's a LEGAL P.A. that
involved Forte, Rock's long-time rival......
Dark Messiah NEO | Program Advance #30
DarkLine *-BugChain *-Forte (Red Sun)/Forte Another (Blue Moon) X
(DarkLin *-BugChain *-Bass (Red Sun)/BassAnly (Blue Moon) X)
Damage per Hit: 250
Number of Hits: 4
Description: Rockman MUST be BLACK to use this P.A.. According to Nomia Karen:
"Forte rises from where Rockman is, then 2 purple balls appear in
his hands as he summons Rockman (black). Rockman is holding the
thing that looks like the Bug Charge chip, and 9 Gospel heads start
flying in the 3 rows (he won't shoot the bottom row if he's on the
top one), dealing 250 damage each. Finally, Forte falls down to the
4th row from the left and does his move that crack 6 panels (it
still does 250)."
Now...... Since Whitedragon Nall, the Forte.EXE master of the
GameFAQs Forums, seems to be unsatisfied with Nomia Karen's
description, he went and authorized me to use HIS description, as
follows: "The return of the legendary ultimate PA from EXE2! It has
been weakened considerably, though, and Gospel has been replaced
with Rockman DS. Rockman DS uses the Gospel Cannon to fire three
shots on the lines above, below, and in front of him, and Forte
then uses Darkness Overload. Each hit does 250 damage, and a single
enemy can be hit up to four times."
