Intro to Abilities|

Abilitiy Waves are items that you equip to gain more abilities.
You can get them in Green Mystery Waves (GMW), Blue Mystery Waves (BMW)
or sometimes in locked Purple Mystery Waves (PMW). Each ability usually
comes with more than one variation. For example, HP +50 has 4 different
Link Power Values. Abilities are equipped using Link Power you get from
BrotherBands. This means that the smaller the number is, the better.
The more Link Power you have, the better. On rare occasions, a
Gold Mystery Wave will have the best variant of a certain ability.
Other ways to get abilities includes special shops and Noise Changes.
Keeping a Noise Change for a while will reward you with the best of a
certain ability. And collecting enough Mr. Hertzs and Noise Frags after
battles will give you a better chance of buying something good from those
shops.
The format for the list is simple.
First I put the full name.
Then list all the possible LP Value variations.
Write an in-depth description.
And put some locations down.

Cursor-Changing Explanation |
___________________________;
This section is for an in-depth analysis of the 3 abilities that change your
lock-on cursor behavior. The abilities that do this are "Diagonal Lock/5",
"Side Lock/5", and "Auto-Lock/950".
Normally, pushing down enables lock-on mode if the card you selected can be
take it. The range is like this assuming you are standing on the
middle panel:
[ ][|][ ]
[ ][|][ ]
[ ][|][ ]
[\][|][/]
[ ][M][ ]
You can target enemies in front of you or on the row in front of you.
An enemy locked on in front of you takes over a lock on to an enemy on
the sides.
And if you stand on the corner, another panel can be targetted:
[ ][ ][|]
[ ][ ][|]
[\][ ][|]
[ ][\][|]
[ ][ ][M]
Just that corner panel on the second row in front of you.
Also, in Player vs Player battles such as in Wi-Fi,
a new position can be locked:
[E][ ][ ]
[ ][ ][ ]
[ ][\][ ]
[ ][ ][ ]
[ ][ ][M]
Assuming you are on one of the corners and the enemy is too, you can
lock on to them from there. In the diagram above, "M" could target "E".
With Diagonal Lock, you range changes slightly, but for the better.
This is how your range would look like with Diagonal Lock on:
[ ][|][ ]
[ ][|][ ]
[/][|][\]
[\][|][/]
[ ][M][ ]
The 2x3 area in front of you can now be targetted but the corners for Wi-Fi
can't. This only affects the 2x3 area IN FRONT. So it won't get the left
side if you're standing on the right side. This lock-on mode is most
effective in the middle and if you've taken away some area.
Using Double Eater, your range would cover the whole stage if you were
standing in the middle:
[/][|][\]
[\][|][/]
[ ][M][ ]
Side Lock is different from the standard and Diagonal. With Side Lock,
the row in front of you is not targetted. Only your sides are.
This lock-on mode would be most effective in the middle and when the
opponent is not aware of it. It would probably be better in player
matches only.
The range changes to this:
[|][ ][|]
[|][ ][|]
[|][ ][|]
[|][ ][|]
[ ][M][ ]
It seems limited but it's like using the regular lock-on twice
on your sides!
Auto-Lock is the most costly ability to use. With a whopping 950LP
to use, it's a tough decision on whether it actually does you any good.
As the name implies, Auto-Lock automatically locks on to the nearest
opponent or the one in front of you. Constant lock-on means there's no
need to position yourself. The enemy is targetted no matter what similar
to Black Ace's Auto-Lock. This is could also be a bad thing. Rogue Noise
breaks lock-on over a short period of time. Always locking on would mean
that your cursor would always break. It's up to you if you want to use it.
