Knowing the Rules about Codes and Similar Chip Types

Codes? What are these? Every single battle chip that you come across in the game is labeled with one of twenty-seven different codes. There is a code for each letter of the alphabet, as well as a code represented by an asterik. The codes on these chips play a large role in the heat of battle. Similar chip types? Similar chip types are simply chips with the same name, but not necessarily the same code. A Cannon would be the same chip type as a Cannon, but a Cannon would not be the same chip type as a Hi-Cannon. A Sword with an S code and a Sword with an E code share the same chip type, although they have different codes. Why are these codes and chip types so important? At the start of each fight, Lan will send five chips for MegaMan to choose from. The key word is "choose," which means MegaMan probably won't be able to select all of them at once, unless you've built an expert folder. Only chips of the same kind or bearing the same code can be chosen. Example: If Lan sends a Cannon C, a Sword S, a MiniBomb B, a LongSwrd S, and a Cannon A, MegaMan has a few possibilites to choose from. He always has the option to simply select one (or no) chip to take into battle, but in most situations you would want MegaMan to be as well-armed as he possibly can. He could choose the Cannon A and the Cannon C, since it's the exact same chip bearing only a different code, or the Sword and LongSwrd S, since they're different chips, but coded the same way. How do the asteriks come into play? Asterisks are like wildcards and can be used to support your folder's strategy with good defenses (Invis, Shadow, Mole1, and Mole2 are the defense chips that come in the * code), recovery chips (ie. Recov10, Recov30, etc.), or attack modifying chips (ie. Atk+10, Atk+30, Navi+20, Navi+40). The best folders make the most out of a single chip code (or two) and using asterisk coded chips to help enhance their folder. NOTE: Asterisk chips cannot be chosen if you choose the same type of chip with different codes (ie. Cannon A, Cannon B). They will only work if selected chips are coded the same (ie. Cannon A, Cannon A, Recov10 A).
