Battle Network Academy: Whirlpool

[@kahel3094]

"chips that i had no idea how to use as a kid" resonates with me very deeply

[@PK_Miracle]

When I first played BN I didn't know you had to have the +10 attack before the chip you were using

[@kahel3094]

@@PK_Miracle same here, the first few times my +10 attack went poof

[@The_Meev]

The Mine chip is just so much better than Whirlpool/BlackHole in every way. 300 damage, the opponent can't see where the mine currently is, invis pierces, basically stays on the field forever until someone steps on it, comes in * code, and because its damage is actually listed, it can be used to boost GaiaSword

[@TchompTeam]

Fun fact this chip has a Starforce variant that serves as an instant execution but does not require aim, it even has a giga variant.

[@train4292]

Which one was that again?

[@PLATINUM753]

@@train4292 Black Hole. It automatically deletes viruses under a certain HP. Strongest standard version deletes viruses under 160 hp. The giga variant, Darkness Hole, deletes viruses under 250 hp, bosses under 500

[@SorryIdrinkCoffee]

The Blackhole chip is extremely good agaist Gospel and Freeze Man, since they do not move. When a navi is in the flashing state, you can thrown a bomb on the panel that the enemy is standing without hiting them immediately. The enemy is hit right after their flashing state ends with full 200 damage.

I never understood why these chips aren't aqua element.

[@brianli6562]

God I remember back in the day trying to use this chip and it's mechanics. What I figured out is that, once the whirlpool is activated, the enemy will actively not step on it once it fully forms but might still step on it while the whirlpool animation is growing, so you had to predict the enemy with a somewhat tight frame. But generally you can predict stuff like protoman or other enemies that likes to move around a lot very fast like quickman.

[@GorudenKirameki]

thown it onto them during their 'invis' period after they got hit. When it end they will got hit by the Wripool/Blackhole (playing the attck on shield sound effect "diiing")

[@halberdierv2]

Finally! Thanks for the video, this was always one of those headscratcher chips for me.

Wh-wh-wh-wh- whrilpool

[@natpeterson5278]

basically a worse version of the mine chip

[@Raylightsen]

Sounds like hard mode is for masochists.

[@pokeperson1000]

Mole will run away within 10 hits, but all forms of damage will deal a fixed 1hp of damage, aside from the chips in this video. As mole has 50% more hp in hard mode (15 hp total), yeah, you can’t kill it without them.

[@Multigameguy35]

never knew

[@geistgrace6452]

Good Lord, I think this may be a contender for worst battle chip. Like at least team1 and team2 make a pretty alright p.a, this just sucks!

[@LegendBegins]

Nul viruses always creeper me out as a kid. But it came with a fascination for this series of chips! Had no idea it would delete mole, that’s awesome.

[@HeavensStarUnleashedTheWorld]

Please explain the team chip 1 and 2 i can't understand this chip and dont have nothing in the yt

[@adrianwoodruff1885]

That's MMBN5 Double Team only. In that game, you can have 2 of your team mates with you at all time.

[@HeavensStarUnleashedTheWorld]

@@adrianwoodruff1885mmbn3 "team1" and "team2" chip First meeting? Job bbs on scilab "meeting place: phone" go to yai house and jack on the phone and press A on the npc and you go battle a viruse and you need to kill at same time or he regen full hp Do you understand?

[@train4292]

@@adrianwoodruff1885No, they mean the ones that give you the Prix Power PA in BN3

[@adrianwoodruff1885]

Okay. So basically it a summon chip, like Rockcube or Trumpy. It stays on the field, but it only has 10 Hp I think. It will attack once in a while. When your Hp is critical (red) Team 1 will attack faster, while 2 will heal you.

[@HeavensStarUnleashedTheWorld]

@@adrianwoodruff1885 thanks, i gonna test this :)

[@acebesttheiris134]

Can there be a video on how energy bombs work? Is there a secret way to use them or are they just weaker versions of mega bombs?

[@trigs7127]

Excuse me? You can't delete the mole virus without this chip? But why tho

[@locknkey5309]

The Mole will escape at the 10th of its turn. Since in hardmode it has 15hp, you cant deal enough dmg to kill it

[@trigs7127]

@@locknkey5309 oh that's a bit of a screwup. That it's tied to ten times rather than hp number.

[@hazbaska1]

holy shit, that's how you kill Mole in one shot????!?!?!

[@nekonomicon2983]

Yeah, I've never used this chip, but it does sound really useful now that i get a full understanding of its properties.

[@kiraangle2823]

I think enemies typically wont move to it unlless forced or if it activates in their movement windup frames, like rock cube

[@picawood]

I think a good way to make this chip is making a wide shot range and if there a way to push your opponent to land on then
