You can edit your post later, and then add punctuation then. Anyway, It sounds like you haven't bought any Bionic parts yet (Or, at least, very few). If you haven't done so already, buy them and an Energy Canteen at a store. To get to one, just go back to the Master's room, and use the elevator there to go to the launch bay, and talk to Yuna to get back to Terra. Then, go to any island of your choice and go to the store there to get the items.

Whoa, HE/She does an intro and asks questions all in the same post. I like it...i think.

Also when you get off the planet and upgrade your special weapons. I suggest the Hyper shell but you can upgrade what ever weapon to hit your gaming style.

[spaceprog]

If you're willing to work up a *ton* of money, augment the Shining Laser. It'll take down Sera in just a few seconds...
For money, equip the vacuum arm and go to the subruins on Manda island. Keep going up and down the entrance elevator until you can't hear anything or see anything in the hallway in front of you. Then leave the elevator and go down the hall. You should come to a fake chest. That's how you know it's the right 'enemy configuration' for that ruin.

Go right at the frog room, then take a right in the room with the shieldbots standing there on both sides. Go between the Shieldbots (Or kill them, your choice), and continue down the hall, taking the first left (I believe) Then go in the room on the right, and you should come upon a gold bird-shaped reaverbot. Stop where you are, because it won't move unless you get close to it. Kill it and watch it drop a load of large purple (with maybe a red or two) zenny. Vacuum that up, and leave the room from the door just came in.
Go back in the gold bird room again, kill it.

Lather, rinse, repeat. Yeah it gets repetitive, but it's one of the quickest ways to get money in the game, if not THE quickest. There's another place for lots of Zenny in the main ruins of Calinca (the ones you get to via the church), in the large room with the snow and the small reaverbots (The place you had to catch the keys), but even there doesn't give you as much in as much time as just killing the bird over and over.

Must suck to be that bird.

[Pitch]

Few things to point out, just for phun:

1) This doesn't seem to exist in the PSP version I must've tried a million times.
2) The Zenny spill-out is dependent upon your digging licence. Class A Diggers typically get z10,000, if my memory serves, Class S will get you somewhere around z8,500, and Class SS probably somewhere in the range of z6,000.
3) Killing the bird can be a real pain if you don't know how, or so I've noticed. Supposedly what you gotta do is knock it over, pick it up, throw it, then shoot it a few more times. Seems to make him go down faster.
4) You don't need the Shining Laser to beat Sera. With all the money needed to upgrade it just those few times, you can upgrade another weapon enough to tear her down pretty easily. If you wanted to get the Shining Laser upgraded twice, you'd have to do that at bird thing least 225 times, which is a lot more boring than it sounds(z2,250.000 - two upgrades in each category). With that much zenny alone you could fully upgrade just about everything except the Homing Missiles it seems(though I'm not sure how accurate RPM's listing is.. I've had a few things turn up different in the game, though, only for the better).
5) There's another zenny hotspot, on Elysium. Those four hovering dealies that spit the fiery Zakobon. If you have the flame shield equipped, and the Vacuum Arm as a special weapon, you can make some pretty good Zenny there. I think someone even figured out a place where you can stand, and just hold down the Triangle button with something, and you can literally leave the game set for a while, come back and have tons and tons of zenny. The Zakobon can't hurt you at all. When they crash into you a few times, they die. The only way to throw that off is if two hit you at the same time, because that will send you flying.

As for beating Sera, make sure you've gotten all the bionic parts, have a canteen with at least enough packs to refill your energy completely, and pick up a Picnic Lunch from the refrigerator on the Flutter(assuming you paid to have one put in). Any weapon, really, though Ground Crawler, Vacuum Arm, Shield Arm, and Aqua Buster may not be good choices for obvious reasons. Other than that, it's just a matter of knowing how to dodge everything:

Form 1:
(she likes to do these twice)
When she throws those blu-ish spiky things, just run to the side and jump
When she charges at you, get out of the way
When she shoots the yellow explosive things, run, jump, and pray.
When she makes the gravity stronger, try to get rid of as many of those triangular things as you can, and work on the timing of the jump, because that has to be dead on. If you can just avoid the little triangle guys beyond that, they explode the next time she appears.

Form 2:

When she slams on the ground(Feel my Power!!) and sends those pink waves, all you need to do is a good invincible rolling dodge when they get near you, though I think I've found it is possible to get between them.
When she comes at you, just to knock into you, run the other way a little, then turn, and go that way.
When she comes at you, and fires the little lasers out of that .. thing, it's really pretty easy to weave in and out between them. If she gets you trapped in a corner, just work your way out by going under her without getting hit
When she fires the laser,,, I'm not really sure, but avoid that at all costs, because it can knock down more than half of your health.
When she starts making meteors rain down on you, just keep moving, and you won't get hit. This is an ideal time to use the Crusher, btw, though few actually bother with the thing.
And when she throws the black sphere-ish thing that makes the screen all dark and sucks you in, the trick is to get her to throw it at one end, then, run all the way to the other before it comes. This way you can move more freely and won't get hit by whatever she uses, as easily.

Actually I found using the using the machine buster with the startegys Pitch posted helped. The machine buster was pretty cheap to upgrade, and if you keep moving you can do a lot of damage to Sera.
I also found that in the -i think it's the Defense Area- in Elysium, the first set of gravity changing pink bars, there is a large reverbot that spews flaming reverbots -havn't played legends in SO long os forget names.- All you need is the flame barrier and the vacuum arm. This way you just kill the fire reverbots, and collect the zenny. Hope this helped!

There's another room like that, in the Defense Area, with four of those guys. It's a bit more efficient. It seems almost like there's a limit to how many of the little guys can be out at once, but sometimes there're as many as eight out there. Kill 'em all, collect the zenny and you're set.

I always liked to kill Sera with the sword arm thing, because it made me feel like Zero.

...As cliche as it sounds, when Rockman Dash 3 comes out...I sort of hope they introduce Megaman having a "brother unit" who looks similar to him, but red and sword wielding...

For any of you gundam fans...I propose Trigger's brother should be named...

"Megaman Char Custom"

O, and uhm...yay first post!

[Musashi]

Umm, just so you know, your probably gonna be eaten alive by me, Rage, and everyone else for just saying Rockman Dash and Zero together. I suggest you run. Now.

{Noted by EC as off-topic}

[Pitch]

I suggest the two of you get a life... >_>

That said, Legends doesn't really need a Zero-like character, though a Protoman would be tolerable. No one respects him any more - no, I don't mean the EXE one, I mean the original Protoman. Protoman was awesome. The scarf, the shades, the whistle... a Nuclear Core which made him more powerful.. he was awesome. A Protoman would be cool, Zero's just over done, though. But I'll admit, using the Blade Arm was cool.

{Noted by EC as off-topic}

[Musashi]

Yes, we do. But that doesn't mean we don't have a duty to uphold. AND THAT DUTY IS KEEPING ZERO OUT! And yes, Protoman kills Zero three times over in one shot XD.

[Rage]

Yow know what's also a good strategy for this battle and the whole is to Strafe. It doesn't work for here second but still you'll while have to move anyway alot.

(charges in with shotgun in hand) Did somebody say "[glow=red,2,300]ZERO![/glow]" oh, hello rokujinturiga, welcome to the mighty legends-station base. Would you like job in the General Rage Militia...I'll need to change that. Check here. If you accept, I'll tell/ask you what you want to do.

Now back to Protoman...Legends really doesn't' need anybody from the other series at all...unless it's a joke. Legends doesn't' need a zero, or anything. LEAVE LEGENDS ALONE! It's a great series and doesn't' need those people to be great.

I just notice two new grunts somewhat did intro in their post. COOL!

[purifierunitx]

I agree completely!! If Capcom puts Zero in the Legends Series, here's what will happen; Zero will die to save Terra, then come back with a virus in him. I also respect Protoman... from the Battle Network Series. The original Protoman just never caught on, and I dont think he would be a good additon to the Legends Cast. Or Bass for that matter

Protoman from EXE basically is Zero, though. A duty-holic, sword wielding, self centered... eh nevermind. But he didn't even get the whistle or the scarf.. and Protoman never needed a sword, that was just crap.

Agreed! I'd wager it's safe to say that to you guys, the only thing that's worse than Zero is a Zero wannabe, eh?

Uh, "Megaman Char Custom"? Just call Trigger "Alex" and be done with it!
