Charge Attack Plug-in Chip Notes & Tips

  • Other notes and player tips go here.
  • Plug-in Chips can have a Level between 0 and 8 that determines how strong the effect of that chip is. Not all chips have multiple levels.
  • All Plug-in Chips have a Cost that determines how much space they take up when equipped in storage. You can purchase more storage space from merchants so that you can equip more chips.
  • The Cost of a chip can vary, and so lower Cost is desirable because the chip will use less of your storage capacity.
  • Chips have a minimum and maximum Cost that is determined by their type and Rank. Chips with the lowest possible Cost for their Rank are marked with a ♦.
  • Plug-in Chips of the same Type and Rank can be Fused to create a new chip of the same type that is one Rank higher.
  • The Cost of a new chip is calculated from the Costs of the two chips being Fused. Check out the Plug-in Chips Reference Guide for optimal chip fusion if you need help creating ♦ Cost chips.
  • Chips can be Fused to Rank 6 typically and up to Rank 8 at the Canyon Machine after completing her quest.
  • When prompted for the first time she aks for a painless death thinking the androids were sent to kill her, if the player chooses to spare her life, she will give you the side quest Lord of the Valley. After clearing the quest she starts selling and fusing Chips. Canyon Machine can fuse chips up to +8.
  • Plug-in Chips can be purchased, obtained from quests, or acquired from enemy drops. Chips purchased are often a high rank while chips dropped from enemies have a random rank and can sometimes drop ♦ Cost chips.
  • When you die you lose all the chips you had installed. To recover them you must make your way back to your prior body. Failing to do so results in losing the chips.

      For those who don't understand why you need 2x5 to get the same effect as 1x8, it's because the chips values also include the base 100% damage of charge attacks.
      So the 0 rank chip does not give +120% but only +20% damage increase. So from each chip you have equipped you must deduct the base 100% which will give you the actual % increase. So a +8 gives you an additional 300% increase to your base 100%. While 2 +5s each give you a 150% increase to your base 100% making it a total of 300% just like the +8 chip.

        When playing as 9S, this chip does NOT seem to increase the damage from the "charge attack" where you hold the light-attack button.

          Dont bother getting to 8+. +8 will cost you 21 storage. Just get two +0 and one +2 chips, if you get diamonds all add up just 14 storage space. Cheaper storage cost with maximum effect.
