Glitches in Mega Man Star Force 3

From The Rockman EXE Zone Wiki

This page is a list of glitches that appear in Mega Man Star Force 3.

Major glitches

Abilities and AntiDamage glitch

Normally, if an attack that removes Abilities (such as BigGrenade and HeatUpper) lands on Mega Man, those Abilities are gone for the rest of the battle. However, if Mega Man was struck while he’s using AntiDamage, he will lose those abilities but only temporarily. Changing forms (such as going Vibrant Noise or Finalize) will restore the Abilities.

Finalize GA overwrite glitch

When you Finalize, there is a chance to obtain Battle Cards that can form a Galaxy Advance. If you enter Finalize, make the GA, back out the Finalize menu, then press B, the GA components will appear and replace the existing Battle Cards in the Custom Screen. The original cards are no longer available to be selected.

This glitch can also happen when a Satellite Server card set is active on the Custom Screen.

Minor Glitches

AntiDamage MuBarrier visual glitch

Usually the MuBarrier Battle Card can be permanently destroyed if hit by a breaking attack, indicated by a breaking visual. If you AntiDamage a breaking attack while an active MuBarrier card is in effect, it will make visual as if MuBarrier blocked the attack with no breaking visual. What actually happens is the break attack did not destroy MuBarrier for the rest of the battle. Only that one attack is blocked and once you move to respawn MuBarrier, it will return.

Whistle Break+ oversight

The Whistle card has no attack power listed, therefore supposed to be impossible to be attack boosted. However the Noise Cards, Junk-O Noise and Sirius Noise, boosts the attack power of Break cards. Whistle is listed as a Break card and despite having no attack power, will still get boosted by the abilities. Additionally other None element boosts will now increase its Attack.

So when the boosted Whistle is used, all Whistled targets will receive damage and obstacles will instantly be destroyed. It can also remove Libra Noise as it now will hit its weakness.

Same Row BlueShark oversight

If Whistle is used on a BlueShark while it's traveling across columns as it's attacking, it will stop BlueShark in its current row. So when Whistle is used when BlueShark is on Mega Man's row, it will stop there. Then it will stay in its idle animation moving around panels in Mega Man's row, hurting him.

In the NA version, if BlueShark is on Mega Man's row, it will teleport back to its original row.

Shield vs Purpose Card visual glitch

If enemy MegaMan is guarding and player MegaMan goes into Finalize with the REZON-B02 Ultimate Elec Master card on (makes Guard Null Panels on enemy side): the enemy MegaMan’s guard will be considered taken down even though the shield visual is still up and can take damage.

In Star Force 2, if the player activates Guard Null Stage, the shielding visual instantly goes down when the panel spawn.
