Embrase the darkness(maybe spoilers?)

Does anyone think the darksoul is is good? I mean going PURE evil and not using the choas soul unions.
I perfer using the darksoul in 4 and Im hopping they will have it agian in 6

Well, here's the thing: using it lowers your HP considerably. While you eventually reach the point that 0 HP makes Rockman become invincible but uncontrollable, that can only happen once in battle. On top of all that, you can't use Dark Chips in the final two battles, with your diminished HP still lowered.

So basically, while Dark Chips might make the general battles considerably easier, they totally screw you over as you approach the end of the game.

Dark Soul is FAR too weak to see any practical use in the current environment. At the beginning of the game, DarkChips actually seemed to be good--where else could you get 500 damage when trying to bust Shademan or some of your tougher tournament opponents with a weak folder? As the game (games, rather) progressed, one could obtain better chips and stronger PAs, that were capable of doing more damage. And the benefit of being completely light was the fact that FS occurred randomly. Even a random x2 multiplier immediately made being light MUCH more worth it than being dark, as the powers of the DarkChips were fixed, and the FS multiplier simply promised a LOT MORE damage.

In short, if one decides to use DarkChips, it's crossing the Rubicon essentially--once it is used chronically, there's no turning back.

The darkness is good and bad because of two things:

1. You get to use dark-related chips such as Muramasa, Anubis, and the DS Chips.

2. Your health keeps dropping by 1 every time you use a Dark Chip.

I mostly use Dark Chips for Chaos Unisons.

[Rakuroikusan]

I never used Darkchips, and I never will. As much as they're awesome to use and all, I thrive on getting every power-up so that I can stand a chance against the SP and DS versions of the Boss Navis, and espescially against the "King of Chaos" in EXE5. HP Memories are the best, since I don't use any HP+ Customizer Parts. And I would be royal pi$$ed of I couldn't control Rockman, the only reason I love the EXE games so much is that if you're good enough you can avoid almost any attacks.

I've only ever used Dark Soul with the Shadow Soul Chaos Unison. (Ok it's called dark invisi but come on it's the same thing only in Chaos Unison you can use it more than once)

I used darkchips on my 3rd playthrough on 4, but just frequently enough to keep Rock the darkest color. The HP loss wasn't too bad, only about 1 every 15 battles, but it was worth being able to use some of the dark-exclusive chips.

[Revenant]

Well.... I've never used them as a raw chip, but many soul unisions are taking place. And (luckily) Rock is still in balance after it. Just out of curiosity, can Chaos Unisons use dark related Program Advances?

And there's always been that nagging desire to see what happens if you use darkchips until you lose your last health point...

You don't lose your last HP point, you just stay at one.

I only use Darkchips for Chaos unisons. I mean, I went completely dark in EXE 4. Then, I thought I was tough and went to fight Forte SP... and got my ass whipped in two turns, it was really pathetic.

Most of the Chaos Souls in BN5 Colonel are in my opinion rather useless.

Using a Dark Chip I would never do. Sure it's powerful, but like the dark side of the force, it will slowly kill you.

Actually, I find the Dark Wide shot extremely useful. The same with Darklance and Dark Invis, but I guess it's all how you look at it.

I got one question for the dark chip unions in 5, when you look into the guide you notice that the dark chips have effects besides the damage that effect you opponent like lossing HP when you open the custom window, do those still go through when you union and use the chip?

[YurikoOtaku]

No.Technically,Rock "harnesses" the power of the Dark Chip.Chaos unisons don't lower your HP at the custom screen etc.

[DraGiNn]

You don't suffer any glitches from Chaos Unisons. The only downside is that, if you screw up, then Rockman DS starts to attack you and you lose the Chaos Unison.
